shoutout the mosquito in his face

[@KingNidhogg]

can confirm, i was the mosquito

[@mysticmuffin2198]

bro got ganked in arena 😭

[@Israel-jr5ks]

shoutout to nidhogg showing us old augments/item descriptions

[@KingNidhogg]

@@Israel-jr5ks hey no one else even puts it on screen i get some credit here i aint updating every asset

[@alexanderliu2227]

Legit thought you were calling sej a mosquito for a second in the video

[@spencerpurcell6356]

So glad he has to deal with the Renata lulu plague he made

[@KingNidhogg]

i definitely dealt with them

[@hellmaestroosu792]

She went bork tho, that's so bad with this build

[@gabytab1858]

bro you have to play with this guy more, yall two are hilarious, especially his fucking laugh💀

[@woaaliii8947]

right? that laugh is so contagious

[@1999GDude]

That last round after the res was beautiful, all the dodges, all the numbers *chef's kiss*

[@tra12048]

28k damage on Runecarver at the end when you only had it for 3 combat rounds is _insane_ lmfao

[@michaelstudeny8848]

Runecarver is omegastrong but I think it shows premitigation damage, same as Marksmage does

[@ayi_oglu_ayi]

its nothing, I saw 120k with katarina and item crit

[@gamerboy9255]

@@ayi_oglu_ayi saw a kat too, with 180 k damage on runecarver

[@IiMmAaNnn]

Yeah, some items shouldn't bee this strong, they just brake the arena

[@truffs-m6d]

Unending despair also triggers energize so runecarver, apex inventor + unending is an insane combo

[@KingNidhogg]

yeah we had a cool game just before this one doing something similar

[@andzharliew]

Apparently, if you get infernal conduit on Vel’Koz after you hit an enemy with a spell (except your w) as long as the enemy burns from the damage you can spam your w with no cooldown (you must have 2 w’s for this to work)

[@Tiagocf2]

up

[@KingNidhogg]

hmm

[@punishing_birb]

Wait they still haven't patched that? I noticed that like month ago. Also apparently, if you stack enough burn for the augment to refresh the W cd, not the stack it self, the game just give you infinite stack

[@bigbowl4935]

9:22 "gain 25%..." youtuber fucked up funny

[@KingNidhogg]

oop

[@CashewDoodle]

Fun fact, this ethereal weapon interaction exists with a number of things that have a consumable on-hit, including but not limited to: Energize, Shen Q, Gragas W (this is why you get hit for 3k when he ults with ethereal weapon). This also works with Twice Thrice (IDK about Guinsoo's but I'd assume so?)

[@loremasterdevetak2987]

It works on kha passive also

[@ThrillOfHunt]

Man this was so sick to watch

[@lantosrevial8846]

I just had an insanely fun game with Don't Move Alistar. It's kind of toxic tbh, playing tank and waiting for the zone, but it's a nice twist on your Alistar / Anivia comp, where your duo must waste the ennemies' time as much as possible. Had a Malzahar Blitz team searching for me the entire round, then bumped them last second before running away. Laughed my ass off as they started panicking too lmao we tried to play your comp, but failed, and took a twist

[@mdx4898]

Once again Here you are Saving my from a boring lunch time Thank you 💙

[@RomGomLP]

lmao the pose with the knee up in your field of vision is such a mood

[@RiverNunu]

This combined with Katarina was my go-to force build at the start purely because of how fun it is lol

[@Jona2t]

kirby music ftw, dude 1st time i watch this guy, need lore on two camera setup.

[@salahedinalghoul5740]

"Mosquito in my face" He's canadian alright

[@ViktorLeharov]

hey nidhogg, dont know if you were aware but i recently got ethereal weapon on kha zix and it turned out that on hit items deal double damage when striking an isolated target

[@KingNidhogg]

sick

[@thecomeupx]

I've been playing WASD for scroll on map and 1234 for 14 yrs. Got my friends into it too. Happy to see it.

[@ugakumalaguakamela6357]

You and your video saving 20 min of my boring night shift🎉

[@dontrefertome]

having multiple self destruct reminds me of the time i got multiple dive bomber while playing yuumi. stacking the same of these type of augments is such a high value tbh

[@LevinLaniakea]

Perplexity like you mentioned earlier instead of boots would've been crazy at the end.

[@CoolGuy4821]

You can't buy perplexity with other conventional armor pen items. He already had Serylda's Grudge

[@LevinLaniakea]

@@CoolGuy4821 Ah shit right. Would be crazy if he rolled It instead of Serylda

[@congobongoproductions5476]

wait, so did they nerf thread the needle? cause in 9:17 you see it says 20% and then the tooltip says 25%

[@KingNidhogg]

yeah nerfed

[@alexandercuvelier5078]

I got the exact same setup but with brand, making the passive/ult automatically refund the charge as it was hitting both enemies, also added a statik shiv for big damage, also had ADAP so I wasn’t even wasting the AD from the items, safe to say it was an easy win

[@ernanysantos5942]

Can u go heartsteel with apex inventor and then heartsteel quest?

[@vatufivefive]

the sheer number of synergies

[@martear]

Average person: DDOS you In Arnea: Sending a mosquito at you

[@ujadani]

GOD runecarver just has the most satisfying sound, even above the heartsteel sound

[@KingNidhogg]

no legit it's the best

[@quetas83]

This was insane to watch wow. BTW Blitz R passive works with Decapitator, add ethereal weapons and the bolts proc of each other and stack decapitator aswell

[@aladdin8423]

does fay magic proc with blitz R passive ? I just think that would be funny with this lol

[@pabloverderosa1531]

OMG 5:20 Would Typhoon work on this combo with Fulm and Ethereal ??

[@KingNidhogg]

on-attack unfortunately

[@pabloverderosa1531]

Life sucks

[@henryvonmatt]

How does etheral weapon not make sense, when you need it in the first place to proc the energized through abilities?

[@KingNidhogg]

runecarver makes energized proc without ethereal. ?

[@henryvonmatt]

@@KingNidhogg ah gotcha, thanks!

[@EnykoMemer]

u shoud try that with kayle once ur lvl 11 her autos after stacking passive count as an ability so every auto gives you 40 energized stacks with runecarver, that with rapidfire canon is pretty op i had a game were it did 109k dmg just the runecarver

[@KingNidhogg]

yeah with magic missile it's insanely cool to look at too

[@Castiel-f2v]

yo king nidhogg, one interaction you absolutely HAVE to use is urgot with on hit items like rune carver, gambler's blade, duality master and so on. (i saw some dude getting 43 stacks of runecarver in a single round)

[@Seymour101]

Yes the run was a bit lucky but holy fuck the clicks, especially that last round god damn. Good shit man

[@rengarpridestalker333]

14 minutes ago damn this is all i needed rn thanks man also do more anivia trundle no damage stuffs it will never be boring

[@chrisbutorange]

poppy denying that blast cone at 18:36 actually made it unwinnable since yone wasted w and e just to reach pyke

[@ericfang2666]

do you know how ethereal weapons interacts with abilities that already apply on hit, like ezreal q?

[@ScapeGO4T]

I feel you, getting scared at the creation you have made (Lulu Renata)

[@rgnoc]

The duo is funny as fuck, hope to see him again/more

[@zacharywong483]

Insanely good video, King Nidhogg!

[@flexion1627]

Been doing this with LB as both her W activations makes energize stack super fast. Would ethereal do anything to help on her?

[@mdx4898]

Also, pro tip on how to catch a mosquito biting you Flex the part where he is biting you and he won't be able to escape~

[@william7yifans]

ethereal weapons also lets your abilities gain 10 energized because its an on hit i believe

[@iTzDonne11y]

No fucking way, that ending had me off my fucking seat. g fucking g

[@Toneato]

I've been wanting to get this combo on Katarina and now that I'm done with Champ Ocean it's time to terrorize.

[@camybarra4890]

Do you think you can find something fun with Amumu's passive taking 10% extra magic damage as true damage?

[@KingNidhogg]

a couple

[@DarklingReborn]

my favorite champion with runecarver + fulmination is Katarina, because with just her R she procs it 8 times. Get voltaic and now that ult slows 99%

[@Tactical.toastr]

So I have gotten fulmination and rune carver and on singed and wanted extra fast so I got stormrazer and I noticed it never proced once. I never got the zoom so does it actually stack like that or is ethereal weapons the key to this combo?

[@quetas83]

only runecarver procs on abilities so yeah, you need ethereal

[@lHoustonl]

He had to use all of his asian powers at the end of the last round

[@Stein-123]

Have you Tried any tank (i used ornn) with apex inventor and Vulnerability early game could be hard but when you have Heartsteel, Unending, sunfire your become an immortal Reaper.

[@fitmotheyap]

That's the metamance combo, very common and everyone has tried it

[@Stein-123]

@@fitmotheyap i never saw it, so atleast not everyone uses it

[@mppl_yt502]

i played 4 energized items zeri (with 5th item being infi cause of just 25% you need to get to 100%) and I've been getting both nice dps and burst PS. I do it for like 3 weeks now xd, bad vs assassins, great vs everything that can't catch you immedietly

[@Danex1603]

how do you get zed its permabanned for me

[@KingNidhogg]

we picked zed pyke this game trying to do like a "top banned champs were free" vod but i found a chance to make a funny one instead

[@DemyrNox]

I've been trying this combo on Ezreal for ever but never get it

[@MartinMunich1337]

would typhoon work with etheral weapons?

[@arlogold2630]

fun build idea. ap rakan with eureka and earthwake. really difficult to get but if you do, infinite dashes. its broken af.

[@_ScarCrow]

Saw this strategi with naafiri that gets gamblers blade and it stacks really quickly because it works with her q bleed damage, i think if you do anvils you could Maybe beat the record from tf. Guy that had it got like 15k from gamblers alone, and was full build while having 20 or so anvils.

[@jrsmiththegoat3012]

Doesnt runecarver already work on abilities?

[@sleepyNUMB]

Anyone know if stackosaurus works with gamblers blade

[@andrewwong9853]

Idea: Apex Inventor, Steel your heart, Stackosaurus Rex. Build heartsteel, gain a ton of health and be able to constantly proc heartsteel bc of apex inventor, get 75% more heartsteel stacks from stackosaurus rex

[@pickupthelantern6395]

have you looked into ap reksai?

[@madobricktw6969]

would apex inventor help here?

[@philophobic8023]

5:12 , wouldnt typhoon work with ethereal weapons to perma double proc? that could be interesting since typhoon works for melees and ethereal is basically like autoattack?

[@KingNidhogg]

naw i remember that shit being on-attack

[@igorlopesribeiro8781]

Runecarver is such a fun item to play around

[@teemo7714]

i have been trying this for 2 weeks and havent gotten it a single time please riot

[@1997RJK]

If you can get it Crit Minion mancer Shaco is pretty fun. Your ult turns into a second ADC

[@Enzo-ii8uj]

manamune is actually really good with ethereal weapons, not for zed I guess, but for mana assassins in general, like kha for example

[@KodukoLoL]

Holy fck, i just got the same combo 2nd game with Ezreal, but i also got executioner, Back to Basics and Contract killer and Etheral weapons. Runecarver alone did 5k dmg in the last round

[@jaotrx7163]

I like the fact that they did an items adc changes, remove sheen on essence reaver and instantly become one of the most useless item on arena.

[@nothoughtsheadem]

18:02 i blinked and yones health was gone, insane combo

[@pepper2669]

Goated kirby song at 4:23

[@MatheusHenrique-pl4jf]

Honestly when I read the first comment about the shoutout to the mosquito I thought the item combo was the mosquito gank (runecarver proccing with fulmination like a mosquito cloud) lmao

[@Lol54211245loL]

Homie you got asked chili fries or poutine but when have you ever had poutine??

[@KingNidhogg]

im canadian dumbass

[@Bobodovui]

Fact: if Tahm Kench has Eweapon and u hit enemy with Q, it will proceed 2 stack of his passive

[@ayi_oglu_ayi]

kat gets 10 runecarver stacks from a single ult, try that next

[@abdallahhesham87]

Bro was getting ddos'd irl

[@s9rna]

Awesome to see the interaction i commented about so long ago finally come to fruition. It’s a sick combo, wish old statikk was around to enhance it.

[@ikras6686]

yo u should try gambler's blade amumu it actually stacks so fast

[@mantasignatavicius1964]

Getting ganked IRL 😂

[@hexapod353]

I really like ethereal weapon with W evolve khazix. really easy to apply fulmination to both enemies

[@elpachanga]

Imagine if you still played with no sound

[@protatopog]

juiced and lubed like butter

[@pedromoura8806]

insane video

[@lmaokai6843]

what a sick build

[@ethansroka503]

someone did this to me in the first release of arena...

[@mes1ut1]

Singed with this combo is insane by the way

[@nicjuzniemasensu4465]

imagine vulnerability with this

[@matheusviniciusdemoraes9420]

Zed doing damage by wifi

[@fernandocobianchi5133]

Sell the starter item, buy prismatic, have a much higher chance to win the battle round, buy it back next buy round. Just because you sold the starter it doesn't mean you can't just buy it again later, although I imagine you were just rationalizing your misplay

[@abdallahhesham87]

Always wished to hit fulmination and runecarver

[@esatbrkl]

I think Runecarver is the most broken item in the arena rn especially if u have dmg over time like singed

[@TheSkinnyWhitePimp]

hey man wheres shaco gameplay

[@smittywerben1849]

This could be better on J4. Just dropping flags that proc passive and item onhits Edit: never mind zed damage probably hurts more

[@hishisu1296]

Yo bro u need to try this Pantheon with Mystic Punch + Mirage Blade its OP af and looks cool to watch Grab executioner too if u can yhea yhea u can pay me later np bye

[@firesong7825]

Don't Blink + Zilean E

[@ahichu2572]

zed micro kinda cooked

[@wifiman98]

Blade is a cheap version of Fulmination with ethereal weapons. So much percent health damage on abilities. Suprised he didnt build it as well

[@jameswill4199]

WoW, awesome combo so much fun, jajajajaja

[@middlepyke]

Try runecarver with urgot. I tried it and it did 100k dmg lol

[@gdcruz9578]

damn HAHAHAH that's so satisfying

[@9-b_b-9]

Not to be that guy, but Lulu Renata got Elo because they got top 4. Maybe not the most, bit still going upward.

[@KingNidhogg]

yes but not as much

[@ninex9631]

it would be so broken with items criting
