Rune of the day: Hyaenid Ascendant 1 - Which upgrades do you prefer running? 2 - Do you think the upgrades are hard to pick between, or is it an easy choice? 3 - How viable do you think this rune is currently? 4 - What minor adjustment do you think would balance the rune, or is it fine as is? 5 - What do you think of the flavour (art, text, sprite etc) of the rune? 6 - Any other thoughts on the rune? Hyaenid from the new set - is he good enough for a non-hyaenid deck? Or would he only have a home in theme? This also completes the first round of rune of the day, one of each faction. Hurrah.
Man that art is so cool. One of my favourite pieces in the game. I wish the sprite was better. As for viability, I think hes pretty good. The 5spd can hurt you a little bit, but his UP1 helps with that. I'd probably run intensify and hunter flying. I find intensify a bit of a weird ability though - the current version kinda works better on melee champs than ranged ones (see angel of violence). I know the +1 max range becomes better the higher the range is (greater area covered), but still.
Great champ definitely worth including in meta. Would even run two of them If I only had any. Also sabotage defiled is op as firk Not a huge fan of his second upgrade path though prolly would go with hunter in meta and dogpile in theme.
