REMEMBER - it scales off your lethality/armor pen. pyke is probably the best for confirming earthwake hits Q -> E combo as well as build path. literally anyone with a dash can work though. you can buy ghostcrawlers, go into a wall and use an ability to push yourself out for a mini-earthwake. combo that with apex and you have a funny little playstyle. put a rocketbelt in there and now you're cooking.
Haven't finished the video yet so maybe you mention it later, but does Spectral Cutlass proc Earthwake? Like you said, Earthwake scales off physical pen, Cutlass gives 21 lethality and assuming it works with Earthwake, a free out after 5 seconds and your retreat is covered due line of damage. I think that with Apex would be really funny.
I got that pairing just yesterday in the last round. 1 shot both of them, but then died to an earthquake irelia after she revived with GA. I hate this aug tbh.
I usually don't comment on TH-cam videos but your videos have been amazing they have appeared on my feed in probably the last two weeks. Keep up the great videos i love the editing style with the augments
I just had a Pyke game with earthquake, bread and cheese, now you see me, flashy, spectral cutlass. It was crazy, I could do a 6 dash combo while the enemy was stunned by e, enemies deppoped
The augments for augments idea might work like TFT portals: You get a special lobby where there are like 7 super prismatics augments you can choose from and for the rest of the game your other augments are upgrades for those.
4:00 there's a Dota 2 custom game (mod) that is basically that, you can purchase upgrade your abilities values like projectile count, speed, size, damage, it's very fun and broken lol
My favorite Earthwake user has to be Rell, since her remounting W procs it twice (one for the dash to the player, one for the flip over) and then her Q procs it another time since she has a baby dash for it, so you can do a point and click guaranteed stunlock into THREE earthwake explosions. I got it for one game and had an unbeatable deathless performace, actually an unbelievable combo. Kled's E also can proc it three times, but it's far less reliable without simultaneous CC.
4:40 he talks about frozen foundations and a charge system, this is one of my favourite augments and i just wanted to mention that it works with skilled sniper if you place the wall onto someone then it resets and you can wall again
to expand off the idea of the upgrades for augments, lets say theres a counter that goes up to 5 you get 1 point for every win and 2 points for every loss and when its filled you cant fill it again. Once you cap out the 5/5 you will get an active item that will disapear when used. it will open the augment selection screen however, it will present augment upgrades as you suggested. so it will provide a comback mechanic if you lose hard. since its an active item similar to pykes cut, you can activate it after waiting for the next augment to appear or just use it immediately. it would provide some even more interesting builds but also sounds horrible to balance 😭
I recently played something similar: Leblanc with earthwake + the thing were you can TP back to your last movement spell and God damn that was fun and op
Out of curiosity, would it be easier to just mouse over the augments after pressing tab to show them, this way you can just use the in game footage instead of editing them in? Honestly I'm fine with either one. Also, side note, replays now work with arena.
To add to your augment for augment theory. What if there was an item you can take for prismatic augments that lets your next augments enhance your first one so that way you have choices
I was Vi. I didn't know of the buffs, and I got it as my best option to choose from. I then got a bit unlucky with the prismatic choices and rerolled twice, and saw Galeforce. Holy shit when I tell you my eyes lit up when I saw that item. The rest of my augment choices were so bad but it didn't even matter. My Earthwake had 60k damage by the end of the match and carried me. Bro, the damage it does when you galeforce through them and they start walking towards you and explode countless times in a second.
@King Nidhoog instead of augment upgrades , what would you think about direct champion upgrades like for example jhin r shooting faster , having more shots or being map wide , things like that. Just general changes to champions abilities , would fine those pretty sick tbh , you could get very creative with them. Simply make naafiri have more dogs , anivia r being bigger or complete changes to champions like allowing jhins firerate to scale with attack speed. Could also do things like adding a ap/ad scaling to certain abilities etc
I was actually surprised to see this augment being so weak because I always found it quite insanely good in other iterations of arena. Guess this explains why
3:55 an idea i had about this one was augment combinations, such as for example if you get like 2 specific augments they "fuse" to get an boosted effect, like if you get the self destruct with dive bomber you instead get an summoner spell usable once per round that nukes everything around you but you die instantly or smt like that, would be funny as h*ll !
Just found out you can use warmup routine in tandem with the Ghostcrawlers Apex inventor synergy, stay in walls and charge up for free on some maps lol
I once had earthwake + blade waltz on a double prismatic augment game as a lethality red kayn. It was disgusting, since blade waltz counts as 8 dashes (iirc) it would be a metric ton of earthwake procs centered around whoever you would blade waltz, and then immediately you could red kayn ult which would be almost a guaranteed point and click kill. I think that anyone with blade waltz + earthwake is free win though, as long as you build % armor pen
Have you tried an ad champ + veigar and if you get EscAPADe on the ad champion you buy wordless promise? Insane ad numbers late game but I don't know how good of a vid it would be since it's not that impressive to have high numbers on arena
I got this with Riven and it was nuts; First place. Every Q leaves the trail as well as her E of course. Stun them inside the detonation area and ez clap
I love your creativy to find new builds and strats, and lets not mention the entertainging videos u put on here :] call me a bootlicker, but im just happy i found a channel to watch :P
Have you tried out LeBlanc yet? I felt like she can synergize with so many prismatics and augments, you can go Orb of Destruction and go full damage; you can get Runecarver or Trueshot and play the long game; you can go Fulmination and play ADC Energized shenanigans (R.I.P. Shiv tho), the list goes on. I definitely recommend picking her up, she can be a lot of fun.
Always thought about this and it's kinda like an augment for augment idea. A gold augment that only unlocks after you get back to basics and it brings your ult back Also circle of death should be true dmg because nobody is going void staff on aatrox
I was playing Kayn and chose shadow assassin, received earthwake plus the augment to return spot after dashing, using the item spectral cutlass and entering people plus exiting triggered earthwake.
Have you tried it with Maokai? seems to be super bugged with the way his dash goes underground. The earthwake will be in random positions, sometimes stretching the entire map.
Consider trying Naafiri with earthwake, unless I'm reading the interaction wrong each time I use it, each of the dogs also make their own wave in w's, made better with distance on the charge. Been a blast, also builds lethality just like pyke
@@KingNidhogg Gotcha, she must just use it really well then, it ends up doing what seems like inflated values when im using her. I assume that'd be attributed to the lethality then.
have you tried kidnapping skarner yet? you can use empyrean promise while you ult someone. so you can kidnap someone accros the map. maybe pair it with kha zix to get easy isolated dmg. dunno if this stuff is up your alley but i think you could cook something with it
Just tried to revive your past idea with going sustain (rengar +yummi combo) got W cd and build tank from there, the only unlucky factor was twitch with firebrand :/ also after the fact noticed we couldve take the W if only i bought GA. Still a lot of fun with just trying to dodge enemies hah
Riven with Earthwake is hilarious. Your E and 3Qs are all already on a low CD, It's fun to literally never auto them and just kill with Q and earthwake
Your arena vids are definitely my favourite. Other streamers try to go for big numbers and epic plays, which is all well and good in its own right, but you are playing worse champs, using niche strategies, and giving insight into those strategies that make them feel more approachable. I read some of your other comments talking about the effect your actions have on the community, and I'm sure you're already aware of it from the statistics, but I think the fact that the playrate of champs you post videos about goes up so wildly is proof that you are an enormous positive force for this gamemode. Thank you for your service. And also please play AP trundle.
I always felt like earthwake falls of late game, and I thought its because I get oneshotted and not using it to the fullest (well thats still valid), but yeah, now it makes much more sense why it was so weak in lategame, glad its fixed now, finally we can nerf it bcs it's probably broken now 😂
I think earthqwake's best users are Riven- Pyke -Zed- Kayn cause its where u have the most ad in term of augment and itemization and can apply earthsquake with much ease (either by having some cc to setup or just spamming dashes ) i also think the most dmg outcome with it come from pyke or zed . Its just easier for riven and kayne with their w to stun into it , having a mates that can either support you or cc over your earthsquake is of course , very appreciated . If you think someone other than thoose four can do more with earthquake , i wish to know your secret tech !
I used to dream i wake up in 2009 and i go to my favorit internet caffe and we play all the warcrarft custom maps Dota Tower defence all the HOT new maps. Arena is really bringing back those memories
just fucking with the people that complained about subway surfer and somehow took it as an "insult" to their intelligence. they take it more serious than i do tbh.
@@lordoflobsters7254 yeah i wanted to be petty in a way where they couldnt complain otherwise they out themselves. it's good engagement either way because people will always find something to nitpick. including this comment.
Ah... makes sense. I had Eartwake on Kassadin and thought it's gonna be busted asf. But the damage was non-existent. I thought they just nerfed it to the ground xD
Might not be the strongest, but Earthwake is damn funny on Kalista. Just hop away the whole fight while leaving earthwakes behind you. It's like singed Q on steroids

Maybe try riven, she got lots of dashes and works well with lethality/pen
What about Irelia with the infinite dashes like the other video? XD
And Rengar?
pyke is definately broken. ive had this aument on him and did 2k damage minimum a round pretty much 1 shotting at least 1 person
Fun fact: Earthwake also triggers off blade waltz dashes, making it one of the most insane augment combos I've seen.
I got that pairing just yesterday in the last round. 1 shot both of them, but then died to an earthquake irelia after she revived with GA.
I hate this aug tbh.
@@Ethan-uy8uy it does way too much damage. Absolutely my most hated augment.

Good video but dang looks like kalista earthwake is just a pipe dream now...
kalista with earthwake is disgusting - we just didnt get a good enough vod before haha

Haha the editing is definitely getting better, good vid
Thanks for the dinner time video Nidhogg
Best LOL channel I have ever seen, honestly. Been playing for 11 years
If Yuumi Builds Perplexity and sits on a tank Evelyn who is shredding mr, how hard would it be to one shot someone with a Q?
Lmao top tier editing on the fizz vod ahaha
4:40 he talks about frozen foundations and a charge system, this is one of my favourite augments and i just wanted to mention that it works with skilled sniper if you place the wall onto someone then it resets and you can wall again
I think he has a couple videos of him doing this to people, especially mundo. Trapping em in the storm forever

Is dashing significantly better than accelerating sorcery?

you're the best earthwake user
