summary
This article is a summary of a video commentary by 云顶风向标 on the strength of radiant items in the TFT patch 14.6 environment and how to identify them!
You will learn how to read the truth behind the numbers and not be fooled by appearances!
Contents
At the beginning of the article, he mentions the reason for the discrepancy between the appearance and the actual strength of items such as the Even Shroud and the Lavadondes Cap, and clearly states that “Radiant items are not scaled-up versions of the strength of regular items.
TFT aims for ” intuitive design, ” but there are situations where the intentions of the balance team and the designers conflict, so the appearance and actual performance often do not match.
Status is everything!
The main thrust of the commentary is one point: “the essence of a radiant item = the violence of the amount of status.
- Basic rule: Redundant items are based on ” double the status of normal items “.
Example: Striker Flail ( Attack Speed +20%, Cri Rate +20%, Damage +30%) -> Chain Striker ( Attack Speed +40%, Cri Rate +40%, Damage +60%)
Items that do not meet these criteria are lacking in status and will be “trashed” no matter how excellent the effect.
Items actually tested
After testing the items’ capabilities with various champions, the following group of items were clear “misses”:
- infinity edge
- Jewel Gauntlet
- Labadondes cap
- Quiksilver
- giant slayer (snake, giant petrel, etc.)
- striker flail
These did not reach the standard values for their status, and they also fell low in the ranking.
In particular, the Radiant Labadon received a dismal rating of **35th (2nd worst)**….
On the other hand, what are the stronger items?
On the other hand, items with more than double the status were clearly stronger, with the following three earning top ratings.
- Warmog armor (the additional effect of maximum strength per second dramatically increases the value of physical strength)
- Gargoyle stone plate (similar to Wormog armor)
- Even Shroud (2.5 times more broken performance in terms of status)
As for Even Shroud, our analysis shows that the +0.5 status is added to compensate for the specification that the recovery inhibition effect cannot be doubled.
The “in-between” items are also important.
A group of items with exactly double the status, such as “Guinsaw,” “Kraken,” and “Stelak.”
- If the normal version is stronger -> the rediant version is stronger
- If the normal version is weak -> the rediant version is weak
The relationship is very simple. The lack of special compensation makes the evaluation stable and makes it easy to figure out where to use it.
The designer’s “adjustment intention” is also mentioned!
The video also mentions that the TFT designers “intentionally manipulated the balance of the item ranking”.
- Popular items tend to be nerfed (Labadon, Quicksilver, etc.)
- Unpopular items tend to be enhanced (e.g., Wormog, Even Shroud)
He also stated that “items with special effects whose effects are difficult to quantify” are likely to be treated as hazmat because their status enhancements cannot keep up,
Examples included “The Last Whisper (physical defense reduction),” “Infinity Edge (crick rate UP),” and “Jewel Gauntlet (critical skill).
The decision-making process in actual practice can be done in “2 steps”!
At the end of the session, two simple steps were presented to determine the hit or miss of a radiant item in a real-world situation.
Step 1: Does the champion want the equipment as a normal item?
(e.g., Cho-Gas is useful for normal spiritvisage)
Step 2: Does the Rediant version have twice the status as the standard?
→If these two points are met, the redundant item is a “hit”!
Also includes special cases!
Exceptions, like the Brand + Radiant Adaptive Helm,
Introducing cases where there are “bugs that don’t actually work” even though the item has double the status and the normal version is also wanted.
This is a fatal specification that does not increase magical power when equipped to the rear guard, and the author himself found this out through data analysis and in-game verification.
impression
Anyway, it is easy to understand!
The axis of judging by “status” and not by “appearance” was very clear, and I was convinced after reading the book!
In particular, the “2-step OK” decision-making method is excellent, and I appreciate that as long as I remember this, I can make decisions without hesitation even in actual competition.
The book is easy to understand even for beginners because ” the reason why it is so strong is explained in numbers,” and I think the content will appeal to experts as well.
If you are having trouble choosing a radiant item, this article is a good place to start!
You will be able to know which items are the best and which are the worst, and you will be able to put them into practice right away!
If the status is more than double, it is strong!
Memorized!
