I think all UD runes doesn't worth their nora cost. And there are some other faction runes that just should be removed from the game: -Ethereal Soldier -Reclaim -Pygmy Hippo Stampede -Brewmaster -Vindrax
I think you can get an advantage with heretic overlord, giving weighty to a early game champ has implications
This is true. I tried playing around with heretic overlord and the spell "Late to Battle", it gave me a draw win that no one could recover from. Also those 2 runes with price of victory can give you the advantage. With the spells we have, we are really about 1 on 1 melee combat. That's changing though.
vortev's grasp is actually a good spell , u can cast maso/eye for eye on it before it dies Good for rushing bgs i think itll be meta worthy soon but i dont have time to play atm so ill play with it more later
my cutrrent mvp is Balefire Knight, great flexibility with strong melee and ranged capabilites and heals itself when needed trough quest
I only play UD when I'm splitting with it and I focus on flying units. A couple I really liked are the nefari dragon and unhinged bok. Both can be pretty cheap for flying units and have good damage, the dragon adds in pseudo range and the bok gets manic. I also liked the bok mistress, I'm a sucker for soften because I'm often times dealing with low damage champs ( not much of a problem there with UD though ) and with a small bleed module it could produce a suprising amount of healing. Also a bit of praise for the warden and enforcer, both have pseudo range decent damage and bring some untility with detect precision and battlemaster.
I was thinking more like imp vixen or other melee soul siphon units. Firelight Gem is the best for fireslinger.
It is a bad equipment, 25% on a ~15 dmg unit is 4 dmg increase. Blade of snake is 7 dmg in melle on any unit.
In my opinion blood goyle is an auto 2x and at least one grief barer fountain. With blood goyle I do not think UD has ever had this much healing! (Even with fire) The ability to create so much blood globes makes UD very powerful to me. +1 Damage form banner, +1 from grief barer fountain, maybe even a soften form bok mistress, and you are well on your way to killing stuff. I am a fan.
Manslayer + masochism is a pretty decent combo. Works best if it doesn't die I've also toyed around with manslayer and pawn champs. It works just as well as masochim if setup. I've also tried masocism with sheoul monstrosity, but sadly its spontaneous regeneration doesn't trigger. Although enrage still triggers on a target if it is prevented from masocism, which sheoul monstrosity has.
I've said it so many times, but pox renovators!!! They are so damn good in UD. If you don't have them pb has them for like 5 bucks for the pair of them. and they wreck face!!! 15 base, 16 with banner, usuallly hits for around 20ish, no lies. and with korona running around kiling stuff plus a nice little exile i've had them hitting for around 30 and thats with spending barely any nora on them! These guys are great! try them out
