Hey everyone, it’s BUST here with our monthly challenge! This time, we’re tackling a four-star Gangplank mini-boss and Katarina in Legends of Runeterra’s Path of Champions with Yasuo.
**Key Takeaways:**
– **Special Battle Rules:** Allies have 3/3 Overwhelm and can’t block.
– **Recommended Champions:**
– **Yasuo** for stuns
– **Ashe** for Frostbite
– **Set**, **Jhin** for other control spells
– **Mana Leak Effect:** When casting a spell, a fleeting copy is created in hand. Not a big concern as most stun spells are expensive.
– **Setup:**
– Yasuo at Champion Level 14
– Relics: Tempest Blade and Armor Doublestand
– **Strategy against Gangplank and Katarina:**
– Focus on single-target damage mitigation.
– Utilize tough effects to survive enemy’s low-damage spells like Blades’ Edge from Katarina or Parrrley and Make it Rain from Gangplank.
– Use Yasuo’s mass stun ability to control the board.
– **Support Champions:**
– **Elise:** Strong choice due to synergy with Overwhelm, boosting Spiderlings’ stats massively.
– Avoid champions that don’t fit the stun/control strategy like Lulu or Lux.
– **Item Selection:** Prefer items enhancing survivability and combat stuns, such as Steel Tempest.
– **Combat Tactics:**
– Prioritize getting Blade Twirler down early.
– Concussive Palm and Steel Tempest are key for handling Katarina’s aggression.
– Vile Feast utilized for its flexibility but sparingly due to Mana constraints.
– **Shop Pickups:** Consider cheap units or stalling cards to delay the opponent’s win condition.
**Challenge Results:**
– Manage aggressive starts by prioritizing durable and efficient plays.
– Yasuo’s heavy stun was pivotal, helping control the board effectively.
– Both battles were concluded relatively easily using optimal itemization and strategic champion picks.
