@Wabit said in Barik Matchup Guide for 4.3:

willo and yago should be moved to mod counter

I can see the case for this, however I'm not entirely inclined to change my placements for these two, though in Willo's case there is a very good argument to be had that indeed she isn't just a soft counter.

I considered putting Willo at mod counter because of how she can sort of shut down a Barik's attempt to hold a point, but she does that to every main tank, and really Barik is the one who's best equipped to defend himself against her. Maybe Terminus can fare better in the matchup if his siphon is fed and he's running Decimation, but Dead Zone doesn't really feed Siphon. However if the Willo DOES feed your siphon it is definitely true in said case that Terminus will do significantly better into Willo than every other main tank and in that case Willo can be moved to more of a mod counter level.

I put Yago at soft counter mainly because Yago can't really pressure you that hard if you run from her instead of engaging her. However in a Barik v Yago fight Barik 100% loses the fight because he's forced to fight her in her range and Barik can't do enough damage or sustain enough to win it. However, Yagorath doesn't really force you to fight her head on as she's played Off-Tank (playing a side lane with the flanker) while Barik is played as a main tank (securing mid, though it is usually a good idea to go that way through a near part of a side lane), and unlike Raum or Atlas she doesn't have a way to get you in a situation where fighting her is the only option you have (no rewind in the case of Atlas or in Raum's case no uno reverse card ultimate).

You play her more as off tank than point tank. As off-tank the crippling warder is a must. Btw. Grohk is using a Totem while Inara is using a "warder".

@TTraw I run umbral gait at 2 if i get it at all. I Don't like the champ bouncing around like shes hopped up on dope. Might consider it for a healing loadout though. Always had damage Seris in mind when considering the card. Didn't think about used to Bob and weave lol.

@Demigod said in The Champion DECKS Guide:

@Dusklicious Formidable without Towering Barrier? Kinda odd if u ask me

I was going to make a Towering Barrier version with Dire Need, but for some reason I just didn't.

This is heavy... But I'll use it as a starting point should I unlock Imani, thanks! Upvoted

@Dusklicious and yeah I am bad at non-champion guides.

Viktor has area damage in the sense that it is an area effect but it is NOT blast damage. To be clear. He is also extremely team dependent OR he will not be there for his team (running far far away). It's infuriating playing with 80% of viktor players when they are in my team and just plain funny when they are against me.

@KicsitCsicska
it's not about total hour count but hours per week

it's been 6months I'm playing less and less but when I was playing 100 hours per week...

Added my thoughts on Seris season 3 changes. I will update the guide after testing them out on the PTS. So far, nothing exciting, wholeheartedly disappointed in no Talent Rework. No 3 stack Agony, which means it is still trash. And with reduced healing Mortal Reach will be the go-to talent 99% of the time, since Soul Collector won't sustain anything anymore. Soul Forge change is promising though.

I play JENOS often. As a healer on point. My deck is organized to target low life enemies, lift them up and wait my allies finish them. It.'s very useful against flanks. So I become an offensive healer. I know enemies can get out of my control, however, rare are the players in front that will put 3 against that. 1 or 2 maybe. In the end, Raum is blocked, same as Maeve... Same as invisible enemies you can't see in reach, put them up because your suspected them to come that way. He can do much more.
