Chapter 47
17 minutes, Xu Dongmen's jungle knife emitted a purple light, announcing successful evolution.
Satisfied Devourer!
The basic attack's added magic damage reaches 60, and it gains a new passive 【Phantom Strike】.
——Every 4 attacks trigger a phantom attack, and the phantom attack will trigger all attack effects once more.
In short, it's basically getting a free passive.
Vayne can get a free W true damage, and Kindred can get a free E Wolf Spirit execute effect.
This is why Vayne jungle often appears in ranked.
Before the Devourer was nerfed early on, every two basic attacks allowed a free passive effect without affecting the normal effect frequency.
In other words, Vayne can deal two true damages out of three auto-attacks.
Even in this current version, melee champions still enjoy this treatment.
——I admit you're strong, but if, I mean if, I were to pick the Unrivaled Sword Saint……
Xu Dongmen just wants to remind you: never forget to build the Devourer.
It's practically a divine item tailor-made for Master Yi!
…………
"Puppy, let's go to the top lane."
"Gogogo, let's push the tower again to earn some money; the enemy doesn't have many hands this game, I'll go with the green fork."
"But the enemy has Zed and Ekko!"
"Then let's go with the cannon, play safe."
Uzi and Tianzai Mo Ri swapped lanes to top.
Before the previous wave's recall, with Xu Dongmen's help they took down the bottom tower.
Ezreal couldn't match Lucian's combat power before getting two items.
At this moment, the AD of Flash Wolves is just one step away from the Magic Sect; he must seize the time in these few minutes to expand the advantage as much as possible.
Normally, the jungler should come to the top lane at this time to escort the duo.
Flash Wolves did just that, swapping NL and SwordArt to the top lane to defend the tower while also having Karsa come along.
The not-yet-formed Ezreal and Bard, at this point, if not careful, will be dove by Lucian plus Kindred under tower.
Xu Dongmen, however, pulled a sudden variation!
After clearing his half of the jungle, he didn't go top; instead, he went through the river, jumped into the dragon pit, entered the enemy jungle, and started flanking the enemy Ekko in the bottom lane.
"Damn it, it's this Mirror Claw again (the Taiwanese translation of Kindred)!"
Mimidan gets angry as soon as he sees Xu Dongmen; earlier, this guy made him use TP, causing the dragon fight to not happen and breaking the rhythm.
If we lose, the domestic forum PTT will definitely blast us as soft eggs again.
Don't I, Mimidan, have any face?
Pa~
Mimidan used a phase dash, borrowing Kindred for a displacement, but since his Q was used on the enemy Poppy up front, he couldn't immediately unleash the triple-ring speed boost.
Xu Dongmen activated Wolf Spirit Frenzy and, with thunderous force, unleashed the triple ring.
Ekko instantly lost six or seven hundred HP!
"Heavens, what kind of damage is this?!"
Wang let out a startled cry.
The audience also sucked in a breath of cold air; they all knew Kindred was doing well this game, but they didn't expect it to be this outrageous.
The biggest damage source, six stacks of Kindred's Mark.
An additional damage equal to 7.5% of current HP, almost equivalent to having Blade of the Ruined King built-in.
As everyone knows, Blade of the Ruined King deals more damage to targets with higher HP.
The extra damage from Kindred's Mark works the same way.
At this point, Ekko already had Sunfire Cape and a Wraith Collar, his max HP exceeding 2000.
The more HP he has, the more HP he loses.
Even after his HP bar drops, there's no need to worry, as the satisfied Devourer still provides flat damage.
Kindred's Mark sets the damage ceiling, while the Devourer lets Kindred have an extremely high floor.
This is also why, in the current patch, picking Kindred leads to stacking attack speed gear—there's no lack of attack effects or damage, only a lack of how often they can trigger.
"San Xiao, this bird-person's damage is so high!"
Mimidan got a big bump on his head from the shot, he flashed to run away, but Poppy flashed forward and knocked him up with a hammer strike.
Ekko was forced to unleash his ultimate, Chronobreak.
Waiting for him was Kindred's Arrow Rain!
Because Mimidan bought a lot of time, the marked Sheep Spirit sigil on him was still active.
Reached 7 stacks!
Xu Dongmen collected the kill mark together, recalled to build Runaan's Hurricane, and with leftover money picked up a serrated dagger.
Another attack effect added!
Compared to later versions of Hurricane, this Splitbow has 15 flat damage.
Because there's little attack damage gear, the AD scaling bonus doesn't benefit Kindred much.
What we want is flat damage!
In the current patch, even ADCs sometimes build Runaan's Hurricane as their first item, and it shows up in matches.
Devourer + Hurricane!
When these two pieces of equipment come out, Xu Dongmen's basic attack special effect damage alone exceeds 100 points each time.
Brothers, they don't rely on attack power when fighting; they rely entirely on attack special effects.
At the 20-minute mark, both sides erupted in a team fight at the dragon.
This is also the first 5v5 team fight of the entire match.
Although EZ's Muramana is still missing several tens of stacks, the Flash Wolves can't wait any longer; their lineup refuses to be at a disadvantage.
"Watch out for Zed, watch out for Zed!"
"Little Dog, stand with me, I have weakness!"
"Ekko Ekko Ekko!"
"Protect AD, protect AD..."
"Nidalee Nidalee Nidalee!"
"ADADAD!"
"Nice!"
The team fight erupted, and the Flash Wolves combined their full strength to kill UZI.
The cost was a team wipe.
Lucian's death has no impact whatsoever on QG's cleanup of the remnants.
Xu Dongmen alone got three kills; with Phantom Strike, every four basic attacks he can trigger two Wolf Spirit Slaying passive strikes.
And when he activates his Q skill, his attack speed goes over 2.
He's practically the god of reaping low-health targets.
The stage beneath his feet turned bright red, and the words 'Triple Kill' lit up.
The ground-screen technology that Riot introduced at this MSI is very eye-catching.
"Again me, why is it always me who gets hurt?"
Wuzhu looked hopeless: "Brothers, don't just focus on killing; also protect me a bit."
As expected, the outcome is a certain answer for the next round.
Xu Dongmen, being the one in charge, had Wuzhu hurry up and make the Mercury accessory.
In the current patch, Mercury can cleanse all debuffs, including Zed's ultimate.
Back in the double Zed showdown, Faker used this to make Wang Yuelun a perpetual background.
"The key is, building Mercury gives no damage." UZI refuses to fall for it.
He only has two items, and the cannon doesn't even add attack power; if he also built Mercury, he'd just be scratching, how could he steal kills?
"It's fine, I have it." Xu Dongmen chuckled.
His current output matches that of two Lucians.
"No, I mean when Zed ults me, Dongmen, can you give me an ultimate to protect me?" Wuzhu felt wronged.
"Huh?"
Xu Dongmen began feigning ignorance: "In this patch, Thresh's ultimate can only be cast on yourself, you didn't know that, huh, dog grandpa?"
"I know, didn't I just walk onto you in the last wave?"
"Really? The team fight just now was too chaotic..."
"..."
Fake ADC, UZI.
Real ADC, Xu Dongmen.
Wuzhu?
Just a sacrificial offering.
If the valley only allowed one marksman to exist, it would definitely be me, XDM!
What, someone disagrees?
If you disagree, go check the damage!
What does 'output-type AD' even mean?!
