Q & A

What is the role of Exotech units in the game?

Exotech units are designed to equip special items that only they can use. These items provide bonus HP and attack speed that scale based on the number of Exotech units played. The key strategy is to equip the right items to your Exotech units for the best performance, with each item offering unique benefits like mana, healing, or damage boosts.

How do Exotech items affect the gameplay?

Exotech items provide powerful buffs such as increased HP, attack speed, and unique abilities like crit boosts or damage reduction. For example, the 'Flux Capacitor' reduces enemy armor and deals percentage-based damage, while 'Hyper Fangs' stores damage dealt to a target and re-deals it after a few seconds.

What is the mechanic behind Golden Ox and how does it work?

Golden Ox units gain damage amplification whenever they kill an enemy. The more gold you spend on rerolls or XP, the higher the damage amp they receive. The amount of gold spent increases the required threshold for the next bonus, with rerolls counting as four gold, making it easier to hit breakpoints early.

What benefit do Golden Ox units gain from spending gold?

Golden Ox units' damage amp increases each time you spend gold on rerolls or XP. Spending more gold in a turn permanently boosts their damage amp. This creates a rewarding system where investing in gold efficiently can significantly strengthen your Golden Ox units.

How does the Slayer trait work in the game?

Slayer units gain omnivamp, which allows them to heal based on the damage they deal. If they overheal, the excess healing is transferred to the lowest-health Slayer unit, ensuring better sustainability and healing across your team.

What is the Street Demon trait, and how does it affect the gameplay?

Street Demon units interact with hexes that grant bonuses to HP, AP, and AD. Some hexes grant 50% more of these bonuses, and if Street Demon units stand on these specific hexes, they double all of these bonuses, making them a powerful option for maximizing stats.

How does the Techie trait function in the game?

Techie units gain AP, and their abilities reduce the damage output of enemies they hit for a few seconds. Techie units are often used as supports to weaken opponents, and Bran is highlighted as a default level 8 carry, benefiting from these traits.

What are the effects of Syndicate units and their Kingpin abilities?

Syndicate units have a unique trait where they can upgrade their abilities using an item. For example, Shako's Kingpin ability allows him to teleport to the lowest HP enemy, while Darius's Kingpin ability doubles his attack range. Twisted Fate’s Kingpin ability increases the number of waves his ult affects.

What does the Dynamo trait do for units?

Dynamo units gain mana every 3 seconds, with Dynamo units themselves receiving 100% more mana. This trait makes Dynamo units essential for compositions that rely on frequent ability casts, providing a steady flow of mana to sustain their abilities.

Which champions benefit most from Exotech items?

Exotech items are highly versatile, but champions like Zer, JY, and Varys are ideal candidates based on the type of Exotech item they receive. For instance, Zer benefits from Flux Capacitor, while JY or Varys are better suited for Hyper Fangs, depending on how the item synergy plays out.
