lol no u dont

lol u do know hes not the eu hype right?

also the first person to post sommin useful here:

builds:

-5 mana level 3 ulti (korean)
shop: pot first and constant potkilling

-5 mana level 4/5 ulti (safe)
shop: 1100 build(regen + pot)

-3 mana level 5/6 ulti (card build)
shop: card first -> constant card + pots (hard)
-> regen transition + pots

7mana with no mana regen is a new option that is going through experimentation,
but it's kind of risky because you gotta be ahead in level to make it work.

ScH quoted long time ago that
3mana works with 2 mana regen and is a dmg dealing stat
5mana works with 1 mana regen and is a safe farming stat
4mana does not work in any way.

and the aggressive 5mana constant-potion type is similar to zedait's aggro type,
but it's usually recommended just for absolutely destroying one key player.

as a rough guide... max range of c ~ sweetspot range of f

as for v try and aim it so theyr running in the same direction and then it does some crazy apeshit damage for a 200 mana spell

also in mid if u blink max range from one tower to the other thats just about the sweetspot range for ur combo... same applies to highest towers to outer lane towers

also distance between turrets/PFs is perfect to sweetspot one and pointblank the other while for gas tanks u can only sweetspot one OR pointblank one u can never do both

uhh... just a bro-tip from pacnoob... dont pot after c unless you have aim worse than a drunken zebra.
pot when you are in good position, then immediately cast c.

the reason for this is that if you pot after c, the regen time it takes for the pot to kick in will waste most of your c.
yes, it is obviously possible to c -> pot, but if you are confident in your aim, pot+c is much better.

oh, and about the v skill, there is no sweetspot. either you hit 1 hitbox or you hit 2 hitboxes in pvp. its really a crapshoot. running characters are much more prone to 2 hitboxes tho.

ok? ok. thanks pacnoob!!!!!!!!!!!

Change in fashion of stats in KR:

-3mana: Gone.
-4mana: Never Existed.
-5mana: 1-2 mana regen, economic build. Most popular & flexible.
-6mana: Never Existed.
-7mana: New popular build for early pvp aggro constant pot kill. No mana regen nor mana card used.

Idea of 7mana is saving gas, getting better flow in cxbfvx (total mana consumption), but don't overuse it.

hmm wat bout 5 mana 1 pack + pot start followed by 1 regen?.... surely that works out like the 7 mana but slightly better regen tho it does use up a tonne of gas at beginnin but the damage output is also much better?

I think they don't force themselves to buy 1mana pack and instead just buy a mana card or pot for 5mana,
since Zava has enough burst for each damage to kill even without the full cxbfvx.
7mana is a really tricky thing to do for regular users so in that case sticking to 5mana won't be bad at all.
