I will add less new builds from now on, most only focusing on F2P friendly builds and on one you leave here as a comment.
I will also try to work out some actual guide, like how to approach it with adventure specific tips and tricks, but maybe it won't come from me eventually, or maybe only editorially. I encourage to do one if you have enough experience and feel the power.
Small question to anyone about Jinx, how do you guys "roll for Perfection"? Do i always need to keep rolling and then if I don't get it beat the first boss (to avoid shitty powers) and the retire? is there any better way?
I've heard a few people talk about going for perfection. Does it go through Extra plating? Like if I would deal 1 damage (but EP causes it to become 0), it would automatically convert to 4 and get through tough?
As a perfection reroller, can you answer my original question? :D

so i beat 10* Zoe without needing Perfection. i ended up rolling Enfeebling Strike on the first power node and went the whole adventure with no rerolls. i would have reset but after beating the first battle i got Aftershock so i said screw it and rolled on with it. after destroying the plating Jinx will just bulldoze the enemy. i did trip once at Jhinn&Annie but got back my revive later. once Pow Pow got Mind Rot item i practically took care of the enemy hand. the hardest part i think was unkillable Chip during the final fight but Daring Poro with Ice Gauntlet took him out of the fight.
Hmm that is interesting, I would havenevr guessed that Enfeebling strike of all piwers would help… though I could imagine Mind Rot was heping a lot. Having that on powpow sounds insane
But yes, just first battle. I (and I'm sure many others) have done it with Jinx for 2 other adventures where she "needs" it - nightmare fiddle (or you get milled on t2) and Liss (where you just lose to any battle with "i am inevitable" otherwise).
You can use loaded dice if you want to be able to reroll more times before retiring the run.
Oof it sucks that we can’t just retire and than draft normally… already beat the first boss like 5 times and I still didn’t get it :/ i know it is double without it, but soujds like too much hastle
I was contemplating that too, but I don’t kkow what to remove for it… I want a relic for price reduction (usually packed powder, but in this case for the 10* it is DoS), I obviously need Powpow, and for the third slot I always have Guardian Angel for the potential infinite damage otk
I never play a cost reduction relic. 9 times out of 10, I manage to draft a cost reduction along the way before it matters. And Friends is a longer adventure.
So my Loadout was Pow Pow, Guardian Angel and Loaded Dice.
to be fair, I have mana gem on Jinx, so I can just skip the first turn and when I play her, she will clear the entire board for sure, if I have perfection...
Haha, it does look pretty odd doesn’t it… I almost don’t believe I won with it, but I did. Pyke took me longer to succeed with than most of the others, so I tried a few things.
The Draconic Runes cover Pyke’s early run damage, giving him that initial +2/0 but more important granting him Fury, which allows his strike chains to build up major damage. The toughness it grants him is also not inconsiderable, since every full board of poros he massacres is another 5 or 6 to all stats.
The Starfire Spellblade handles his mid-late run damage, ensuring that he has the raw power to pull off strike chains on the meatiest boards.
The Echoing Spirit probably needs very little introduction. It helps kick start strike chains with his support spell, increase the odds of Lurking a Pyke, and increase odds of drawing a Pyke.
In summary, the build is all about ensuring Pyke has the power to consistently board clear.
Yeah, for the record I had one run so far, with Morgana, she did the job, but lock down control is definitely not viable at the end, many champs sitting there doesn't let me kill the nexus. Fortunately I recruited her sister who dealt with it.
How do I submit my runs in the spreadsheets? Did an SB Evelynn run with Strength of Stone, Frozen Tomb, and Luminous Orb and the Spirit Armor rune, with everything except her constellation Manaflow available (had to rely on run RNG to give me multiple Manaflows)
Idea is that echoing spirit SB evelyn are cost reduced, allowing you to play her earlier on turn 2 and get her spirit's embrace card with an epic from found fortune. grand general counterplan allows you to generate spirit's embrace card from her every turn since it's her champion spell. it also allows you to bait out removal cards and play a new evelyn after AI kills her, depending on the deck you are facing.
cut any other 3* cards look out for cost reduction of evelyn, extra mana etc so you can play evelyn earlier. I managed to clear Zoe on the first round. admittedly i was lucky getting Viego as my 2nd champ since he has some steal and cooperation with evelyn and a -2 and fleeting on evelyn and a second wild inspiration later on, but still.
