Winning by Forcing Opponents into Fire: Galvanized Square Steel Strategy - Toxic or Valid Playstyle?

[@KingNidhogg]

re-upload because i put it out on accident earlier. hope you guys enjoy this one - i think it's a pretty interesting discussion to have about what should be allowed lmao.

[@corrupt1921]

best arena strat i've seen in yonks

[@XZ0N3D]

Not gonna lie this was probably one of the most entertaining and fun looking strats I've seen on arena

[@4mytech]

yo i know you dont like suggestions but i found a really fun probably not good but the damage output can be really crazy. Briar has one of the best numbers in the game on e its ap and ad ratio are 340% at full charge so where the build becomes fun is if Briar gets chauffeur she can charge up the e while the other person moves her around making it really hard to dodge if you are connected to pyke and since chauffer gives you a bunch of ability haste the e ends up on a pretty low cd theres a bunch of augments that go well with this strat to make e absolutely chunk to the point that if they arent a tank you can usually 1 shot them

[@TerraSleet]

it reminds me of fatigue druid in hearthstone, annoying as fuck to play against but funny as fuck to watch / play as

[@owenonosu]

Little Nidhogg needed to win his arena game without building any damage, so he used Galvanized Square Steel to make sure his opponents could not enter. To reinforce it he also had Eco-friendly Frozen Foundations to add extra strength to the structure. In order to avoid his opponents he borrowed Boots from his Aunt.

[@quintile9705]

which were ok you get the joke

Gamers hate this one simple trick 😂

[@swoog10]

this is why I build ghostwalkers every game, I may go 6th every time but at least I beat that one anivia/taliyah comp

[@jacobamaral8998]

alistar counters it

[@michasobczak7910]

They have 30s cooldown tho, and alistar is just going to W you again, they can help against this combo, but far from enough

Oh my god the fucking music at the beginning. I'm laughing so hard I might fall over. If only I had some glavanized square steel to-

[@garimeragonols]

This reminds me a lot about the time when Ascension was a thing, and there was a strategy that you would give enemy the ascension right away and never kill them, while they would be killing you and you would just stop their point capturing. Eventually, since there was no recall, your team would get too tanky to be killed and you would either get more points in the end, or one side would surrender. I even remember there were a few people who actually got banned for it, although I'm not sure if that was because of the deathcount.

[@kidnamedfinger696]

Gotta love how if you have recommended upgrades on for abilities it recommends W max first in arena, you did this nidhogg

[@KingNidhogg]

wait really? LMAO

[@kadalix]

i almost spit out my food at the squatting joke 💀

[@wetfishpc]

Elite dinner youtube, thank you

[@erramus6369]

This should be concidered a breaking of the Geneva Convention.

[@Khauna4444]

these arena videos are legit peak content I’ve never giggled and laughed so hard at a LEAGUE video in ages

[@beingness9]

Loving this one 😂 Honestly I used to watch for the strats but now that I don't even play. I watch for the humor

[@ericthetuber]

I'm genuinely surprised by how often you, a league content creator can arrest my complete and total attention. Your stuff is legendary man, keep up the awesome shit!

[@NotLemur]

That was actually hilarious. It's been a minute since I actually laughed out loud watching league

[@MauxRose]

This channel has become a staple in my routine. I love how you never mince your words. ❤

[@3pizza43]

honestly id watch so much of this just to see the enemy teams reactions

[@vilmoshalasz746]

we got Nidhogg brainrot before GTA VI

[@itsz1o]

i love that you always leave a lil message at the end of each video for the future comments :D

[@gerdbrauckmann9911]

10:44 this might be the funniest fight in any arena round. its so fucking funny and nice to watch😭

[@Vladdislavv1]

The Y axis has been real quiet since this dropped

[@tonhaomototaxi]

[@KingNidhogg]

nice

[@N3versaw]

"Can I win this?" *gets flipped into the next round* those edits never fail to make me laugh

[@iwatchtoomuchhaikyuu5307]

oh my god LOL that naut just waddling in a circle killed me

[@AlmostM]

Skilled Sniper resetting Frozen Foundations at 15:45 is crazy - I did not expect it to work that way.

[@JonhJosephHorse]

Just found out, Warwicks latch Q counts as multiple dashes. You can nuke opponents if you keep them at the end point.

[@zacharywong483]

Super hilarious and entertaining video, King Nidhogg!

[@Diie89]

Had to click as soon as I saw the title, the intro caught me surprisingly off guard

[@raulbrenes778]

Morgana walk through the walls in the same way the kids walk through little John's house 😂

[@JTLDEN]

Jesus Christ "we'll call it the LA combo" fucking love it lol

[@iamthepinkie]

Not gonna lie, the galvanized steel tiktok meme made my wife worry for my sanity with all that laughter.

[@Victorvonbass]

Looks fun. Great video.

[@andrewchen4147]

this was the craziest high roll ive ever seen

[@kostasmavroforos9672]

While waiting, I was playing some Kog'Maw in ARAM and dying quite a few times... So I came up with a new build, which I will try later, as I am not really sure it would work. The whole premise is to blow the enemy up with Damage Aplification, % Max HP through items and Kog's Passive. Augments: Dive Bomber, Self Destruct, Jeweled Gauntlet Prismatic Items: Detonation Orb, Duskblade (if nothing better, since it's 12.75 for ranged champions) Dragonheart (if Omnisoul start, for the Elder Execute) Legendary Items: Spear of Shojin, Liandry's Torment, Riftmaker, If you have Jeweled Gauntlet: Shadowflame, Sword of the Divine Item that could contribute, but aren't worh it imo: Horizon Focus, Hellfire Hatchet His teammate should be Vladimir, because of his ultimates 10% damage amplification. Legendary Items: Imperial Mandate, Redemption (Zeke's Convergence) Points 1. Don't know if Kog's Passive will proc Mandate 2. Zeke's just gives some dmg and slow when Vlad uses his r, to make it easier for Kog to hit them with r. 3. Will be weak against ranged or anyone with Ghostcrawlers. 4. Horizon Focus is hard to proc and die within 2 seconds, so you can die and proc passive after 4 seconds. 5. Not entirelly sure about the duration of the damage amplification items 6. There might be some other champ better than Vlad.

[@ganggnamg3741]

I didnt think the poll option was actually serious lmao

[@hastiinpete3190]

The eco friendly wood veneer wood song in the beginning

[@bladeprincess]

rounds 3 and 9 saves were wild

[@lngun]

That intro almost had bars. Rap album when?

[@Bubble_and_Squeak]

A video idea that is a build I've been workshopping the past few days: Darius with Decapitator, Jeweled Gauntlet, and another augment to stack it fast like clothesline. I've only done a couple runs for it so far, but it definitely needs an augment that counts as an ability to reliably reach the higher end of stacks before the round ends. Any Ideas of how to improve the terrible but funny build are appreciated!!!!

[@sneeky_snack]

"no one does this, its only me" Me playing my first arena game tomorrow: 7 Anivias. You son of a bitch you've done it again...

[@charlestroll6157]

The videos keep getting better? Hell yeah

[@kirl02]

"Eggstremely toxic", yes

[@Jixxor]

This is funny af why's the Leona malding

[@hachico2717]

fun video, btw i think thers a bug where sometimes you leave but no message pops up and no one really knows that you left, i saw it happen couple of times

[@emir2750]

You are making lots of views with arena uploads, super cool

[@TerraSleet]

it's so funny that a comp like this is hard countered by a 500 gold item yet nobody bothers to buy it every time you do it

[@layyx]

@@TerraSleet what item

[@TerraSleet]

@@layyx ghostwalker boots

[@layyx]

@@TerraSleet ah okay right 😂

[@Seto0019]

Damn that strategy would be absolute lit, if your success chance on walls wouldnt be 20% xD JK : Hella fun video :D

[@lSirCumference]

Good stuff. I personally don't think this is toxic. To me it's a refreshing new way to play the game.

[@michasobczak7910]

Wait, did morg walk through anivia wall at 12:08 bcs she had a blackshield so the wall didnt bounce her back?

[@omicronixzerus2929]

yep. Pretty much all champion created terrain has a cc hitbox that shoves champions out of the space where the wall will be before it appears. Black shield makes morg immune to this cc, so when the wall appears, she is inside it. In a miracle of game design, riot actually thought of this. Champions inside of normal terrain walls are pushed to the nearest valid space, and champions inside of temporary/champion-created terrain are free to exit as they please, just not enter

[@shotosuga3338]

that was a banger of a round ngl

[@gorrarz5760]

bro, how did you win round 5 (4:11). that looked so endlessly lost. holy moly

[@motivatedpotato6604]

He's built different

[@jayw3688]

Ok well, I thought your first iteration of the lulu renata combo was the most toxic, but somehow you keep coming up with more toxic ones. This one is going to be very hard to beat. (I said this last time LMAO)

[@Bubble_and_Squeak]

@KingNidhogg Any chance you have a list of all Augments that count as abilities, and would be willing to share it? Such as clothesline does count, but Center of the Universe doesn't.

[@KingNidhogg]

Fairly certain it’s just clothesline for now

[@BulletShredder13]

just realized, the leona was me. lmfao

[@gegeigecg7706]

Not trying to backseat. Would the crits in abilities from vulnerability or jewled gaunblet work with navori quickblade to reduce cooldowns? That would be an insane combo

[@KingNidhogg]

Not actually sure

[@pancakemix991]

LOVE THE INTRO

[@3OHT.]

this was nice but I wish you showed the deaths too

[@Reevo_]

and somehow this is still less toxic than Zyra

[@Laskivi]

Idk if you know but there’s a bug on PBE right now that makes Center of the Universe double itself

[@KingNidhogg]

what is it

[@Laskivi]

@@KingNidhogg If you take Center of the Universe, it ends up spawning TWO rings of stars around you. I think you might need to die once. But it works on everyone! Double the damage, machine gun hits.

[@KingNidhogg]

@@Laskivi nice combo that with the current bug of them spawning in ur center when u get rezzed and u have a nice strat

[@lSirCumference]

This could be interesting with Poppy also. Not quite as strong but still good combo.

[@raskarnos]

i think you're using ornata v3x. do you like membran switches? is there a video includes your opinions about it? i wanna know why you're using that keyboard

[@impact7175]

What’s the best augments for Sylas Critical ad build?

[@HCK_AP]

No way in hell cait didnt get off after, i woulda quit after being perma cornered even with 2 combo breaks

[@Ray-e2q6b]

the LA strat hits hard

[@gamikhan9087]

Cant you actually do this with singed or cassio so when trapped there is literally nothing they can do, would be pretty darn funny

[@zunnichi6121]

Bro, try kog maw and zilean with self destruct or dive Bomber and throw yourself in the enemies

[@jbisthedj]

Im not sure how this strategy could be more toxic than picking Singed that champion is so obnoxious

[@cashmoney3801]

not poppy alistar? poppy with ultimate revolution and frozen...

[@lucashoang4442]

Hi everyone, how would u know what the next map is? Thank you

[@Rncko]

When u in lobby, notice the countdown timer on the top? There's some weird icons nearby the timer & that's where u check ur next map and how many points deduction if you lose.

[@bigbowl4935]

7:27 yeah i had this bug, my senna fuking vanished in last 3 sec of final round and we lost cus of that bug, i had tahm kench R :(

[@nintendofreak11]

Imagine if people knew ghost crawlers existed

[@itiso1123]

oh so thats what u meant in the community poll. ngl i thought that the galvanized square steel was just a joke not an actual video u'd make

[@joseph4445]

I feel dirty after watching this. Anivia is the most frustrating champion to play vs in the whole game. That is a hill I will die on.

[@mrmonokel2335]

So my ap zac would basically hard counter this strat

[@zachhollins604]

would ghostwalkers counter this?

[@ScapeGO4T]

10:36 my feet were clenched

[@jamesl.456]

nobody got ghostcrawlers thats crazy

[@TofuGotXD]

Borrow some screw from aunt 🔥🔥🔥 Little John gonna be proud

[@sickduck4470]

there is a reason alistar is my perma ban, unless i'm feeling to troll and pick alistar

[@KelyxTheMage]

i think the anivia part of it is fine, but Alistar is genuinely the the worst champion to play against in arena. his CC is the most difficult to play around and he can juggle enough so that it doesn't proc combo breaker. I always permanently ban him because it's never a fun game playing against him.

[@zelcadin]

Imagine they use ghostcrawler boots

[@JoyDWalker]

This one was hilarious, ngl 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gaudacheese125]

4:25 clutch af damn

[@Phreeblo]

Hey nidhogg I was wondering if you have tried Nami with Wooglets and runecarver and blitz with blade waltz and detention orb for some reason blitz E is able to knock them up if cast before blade waltz and with nami e you can practically one shot them with runecarver and orb it’s actually wild

[@kostasmavroforos9672]

Blade Waltz applies On-hit effects at 50%, so I guess he procs his e knock up. Why would you consider Runecarver of all items for a one shot combo/bulls, tho?

[@Phreeblo]

@@kostasmavroforos9672 with nami e on blitz it procs when blitz presses blade waltz, the idea was to jus get blitz to do as much dmg as possible with waltz

[@ryanrodgers3099]

Would this be frustrating to play against? Sure, but this is so much sillier and more entertaining than the rest of the boring Alistar/Poppy combos that just try to shove you into the fire *the entire time* (and manage to somehow hit cruelty every game). I'd way rather be against the hilarity of double-wall anivia than another damn Alistar with cruelty.

[@altaykilic2142]

11:17 that's what we're all doing here huh

[@jaycey9564]

7:22 alistar used alpha strike lmao

[@Jitoku]

Lol so creative I enjoyed it

[@yuumibook9619]

"no friends" ignores the singed pick, is playing leona, there is mordekaiser master YI in the game, ignores alistar picked. yeah i think i know why this guy plays the game and it's not for fun

[@KommisarFuklaw]

[@FlaminVictini]

This is probably extremely un fun to play against but I’d rather lose to this than the average arena comp you see, at least it’s fun watching you out-micro and out-macro the shit out of these players to get the right positions and traps.
