Final Fantasy Record Keeper Cloud Strife Updated Relics and Stats List

In the Final Fantasy Record Keeper (FFRK) mobile game, Final Fantasy VII is the realm where I have the most relics. That’s because FF7 is my fave realm in this game.

If there’s a Final Fantasy VII banner or if a Final Fantasy VII char is featured on a banner, I almost always pull on said banner.

This post is all about Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII and all the Soul Breaks that I currently have for him as well as his current stats and such.

Final Fantasy Record Keeper End of Service Announcement

Unfortunately, Final Fantasy Record Keeper just recently announced that it was gonna end its service on September 29, 2022. I talk more about that in another post.

I really wish this didn’t have to happen. I don’t want FFRK to end, at least not anytime soon.

Anyway, I’m hoping to be able to finish as much of FFRK’s content as I can before everything ends on September 29, 2022. I also want to take screenshots of a couple of stuff in the game.

Cloud Strife Relics List

Here’s a list of all the relics that I have for Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII (#ad):

Limit Break Chain (LBC), Woven Bond: Cloud

Limit Break Guardian Soul Break (LBGS), Guardian Choco-Mog

Dual Awakening Soul Break 1 (DASB1), Awoken Finishing Touch

DASB2, Awoken Darkpetal Bloom

Chain Soul Break+ (CSB+), Bond (Cloud)

True Arcane Soul Break 1 (TASB1) or Arcane Dyad Soul Break 1 (ADSB1), Omnislash

TASB2, Apex Hazardous Darkness

Synchro Arcane Soul Break 1 (SASB1), Apex Slash

SASB3, Mako Strike

Awakened Arcane Soul Break 1 (AASB1), Angelic Synergy

AASB3, Dark Side Braver

Arcane Overstrike Soul Break 2 (AOSB2), Eye of Darkness

Ultra Soul Break 1 (USB1), Ultra Cross Slash

USB2, Climirage

USB3, Darkpetal Bloom

Burst Soul Break 2 (BSB2), Cloud Cycle

Glint+ Soul Break 1 (G+1), Aerial Fang

LMR2, Truth Surmounted

AOSB1, Sonic Braver

OSB2, Cherry Blossom (FFT)

Super Soul Break (SSB), Blade Beam

Unique Soul Break, Climhazzard

Unique Soul Break, Cross Slash

Unique Soul Break, Braver

LMR3, Light Seeker

LMR4, Broken Illusions

LMR6, Self Forgiveness

I can get 11 of these relics from the The Record Lab using Anima Lenses. Haven’t bothered to do so before though since I don’t need these Soul Breaks.

Plus, each char can only equip up to 10 Soul Breaks at a time so I doubt I’ll be able to use these relics, certainly not when I have newer and better Soul Breaks for Cloud.

But since FFRK is gonna end soon anyway, decided to just go ahead and spend the Anima Lenses needed to get the aforementioned relics from the The Record Lab.

Now the only relics I’m missing for Cloud are his LBO, Sync 2, AASB2, BSB3, and LMR3. Too bad I was never able to get any of these before. And now I’ll never be able to because the game is ending already. Sigh.

Cloud Strife Info

In Final Fantasy Record Keeper, Cloud is a physical wind and dark DPS. Wind is his primary element. He’s a really good wind DPS.

He does well enough as a dark DPS, but there are plenty of others who are way better than him in said element.

Cloud’s part of my physical wind elemental team and my Final Fantasy VII realm team. Well, to be more precise, he’s the backup for my FF7 realm team. He’s the char I switch in if I need more fire power.

At the moment, the following chars are part of my Final Fantasy 7 realm team:

Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII

Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy VII

Vincent Valentine from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

Aeris or Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII

Aerith is my healer. Barret is my support although he can help deal damage too. Genesis is my main DPS while Sephiroth and Vincent are my secondary DPS.

Genesis, Barret, Sephiroth, and Vincent deal physical fire damage. Well, Seph deals dark damage too but in this team, I’m running him as a fire DPS. I start using his dark Soul Breaks only after I’ve used up all of his fire ones.

Anyway, Cloud used to be part of my main FF7 realm team. But after getting more fire relics that belong to FF7 chars, I opted to run a Final Fantasy VII physical fire team which means dropping Cloud from the main lineup.

I wanted to run a fire team because Genesis is currently my absolute, most fave Final Fantasy char. He’s the reason why I’m playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper. I bring him to every fight I can bring him to.

Cloud is really good though so if I need more fire power in my FF7 realm team, I bring him in. He could replace Vincent or even Sephiroth for a while. But of course, he’s never replacing Genesis.

Anyway, at the time I’m writing this particular part of this post, Final Fantasy Record Keeper just ended its service. It’s all over now. Sadly and unfortunately. I wish we could have gotten more time.

I wish that I’d been able to use Cloud more. Yeah, he’s part of my physical wind team but it’s not like I use said team all the time.

I don’t really try clearing any endgame content unless there’s a time-limited mission that requires us to do so, or I feel like it, or I get a new relic that I want to check out.

This wasn’t a problem before since these quests are permanent. I thought that I’d always have time to do them whenever I wanted. But then FFRK gave its end of service announcement so now everything had a time limit.

I only just recently got a few of Cloud’s relics (I talk more about these pulls on another post) so didn’t really get the chance to really use them all.

Like it feels like I only got to use Cloud’s Dual 1 a few times. And I think I only got to summon his Guardian Choco-Mog once or twice.

But that’s nothing compared to his Dual 2 which I never got to use at all. Cloud’s Dual 2 is for the dark element while his Dual 1 is for the wind element.

I just got some of Cloud’s dark relics. I’ve been meaning to try these out but, unfortunately, I ran out of time. Yeah, Cloud isn’t that good as a dark DPS but still. Would have wanted to have been able to try out his dark relics anyway.

Cloud Strife Hero Artifacts and Hero Ability

My Cloud is currently equipped with his Hero Artifacts:

Level 99 of 99 Buster Sword (VII), Level 66 of 99 augment - Increase wind and dark damage by 4% passive

Level 99 of 99 Cloud’s Guise (VII), Level 99 of 99 augment - Increase wind and dark ability damage by 5% passive

Level 1 of 1 Cloud’s Goggles (VII) - Reduce delay of the user’s actions by 8%

Created Cloud’s Hero Ability which is called Braver. It deals wind and dark damage to one enemy.

Cloud Strife Magia Crystals

Currently, Cloud has 222 Magia points. He has 100 Magia points in the physical attack and wind elemental attack Magia Crystals while he has 22 points in the HP Magia Crystal.

Cloud Strife Crystal Water Points

Cloud has max Crystal Waters for the following stats: HP, DEF, RES, and ATK.

Cloud Strife Character Profile

Each char in Final Fantasy Record Keeper has a Character Profile. This has 2 tabs - Overview and Hero Record.

Here’s a screenshot of the Overview tab of Cloud’s Character Profile:

Cloud’s role is listed as Physical Attack.

Under the Special Traits heading is the following text:

Wields swords and katanas. Can use rare combat abilities, buffing his Attack to deal heavy damage.

The Hero Record tab of Cloud’s Character Profile has the following text:

An ex-SOLDIER whose true memories have been lost, Cloud joins the rebel group AVALANCHE's fight against the Shinra Company in an attempt to save the planet, and discover more about his own identity.

Below that is information about Cloud’s Wardrobe Records. He has 4 costumes.

The first one is called Cloudy Wolf. The in-game text says:

Cloud traveled far and wide, enduring battle after battle and nearly losing himself in the process. Though he saved the planet, he lost much in the struggle, and now he chooses a life of solitide, shunning contact with even his closest friends.

Cloudy Wolf is Cloud’s outfit from the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie. This movie “takes place two years after the end of FF VII”.

The second costume is called KINGDOM HEARTS Cloud. This is Cloud’s outfit from the Kingdom Hearts game. The in-game text says:

A singular swordsman cloaked in shadow. His past, too, is shrouded in darkness. He enevr lets the mask he wears slip, and he avoids interacting with others, leaving his identity a mystery.

The third costume is called Happi Cloud. This features “Cloud in a festival happi” from Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade.

The fourth costume is called Pretty in Purple. This is “the dress worn by Cloud during the infiltration of Corneo Hall” in Final Fantasy VII.

Have all of these Wardrobe Records except for the Kingdom Hearts one.

Unfortunately, I started playing FFRK way after the Kingdom Hearts collab events have already happened, and they’ve never rerun those events so was never able to get this costume.

I usually have Cloud in his Cloudy Wolf outfit although I sometimes try out his other costumes too.

Conclusion

So what about you? What do you think about Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII? Do you have a lot of Soul Breaks for him? Were you able to get all of his Wardrobe Records? Which one do you prefer? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions by leaving a comment below or by reblogging or replying to this post.

The off-season for G2 is now over...

Let's talk about the new roster and what happened to the old one

Old team:

So first of all Wunder will be playing with Fnatic! This was unexpected for me BUT I'm very happy that he had this opportunity. Their roster is pretty on point and I honestly think he was the only one who didn't suffer from this "G2 rebuild" thing. Can't wait to see him on stage again!

Then Jankos... Well, I guess nothing changed. Still G2 Jungler and the one who's behind the formation of the new G2 roster so I guess he's officially the new team leader for G2. There was lot of drama about his relationship with Rekkles and how things went after last year. Of course it was hard to create a new team but together with Caps they managed to maintain the core G2 formation together with some new players.

Caps has also recently renewed with G2 for another 4 years so I guess his intentions are to stay with the team as long as possible.

Well... Then comes Rekkles. At first after the KCorp news I was angry and disappointed. But after all that happened with some players I'm almost happy that he found a way to play and let's remember that KCorp is a really good team with lots of talented and promising players.

I mean... I would prefer going to LFL instead of not playing at all. Maybe Mikyx could confirm my thoughts. Guys I'm... I just can't believe players like Mikyx and Nisqy didn't find a roster like... This is a big loss for LEC there's no other way to call it. Really unfair. I hope he will find a new team for the next split or something like that idk I'm shocked.

New Team:

I wasn't surprised when they announced Broken Blade as the new top laner. There were a lot of rumors and it's honestly a fair decision. It looks like he has a good relationship with both Caps and Jankos and he is not exactly a rookie (he already played in the LEC) although he is still a young player.

Then Flakked for the botlane. Okay I'm not excited at all tbh. There are a lot of really good ADC this year and just... I don't consider Flakked one of them idk maybe I'm wrong I hope so but... I was a little bit perplexed since I really thought Carrzy would join G2 but hey let's see what happens.

Last but not least, Targamas as Support. Targamas is what Adam was last year. He comes from KCorp and has a lot of insane plays and mechanics despite the young age (his Sett is insane really). I'm looking forward to see how he will compete in the LEC, I really like him!

Overall I don't think G2 this year is a strong team... I mean Vitality really won the lottery this season for sure. And after seeing C9 last year I'm pretty convinced that a team with Perkz is a winning team, let alone the fact that they have Carrzy and Selfmade. They look really scary.

Brokenblade asume la culpa de la derrota de G2 ante Vitality: "Jugué realmente mal"

En la jornada pasada de la LEC, tuvimos la decepcionante derrota de G2 Esports ante Team Vitality. El equipo de los samuráis venía como favorito luego de conseguir algunas victorias y sobre todo, porque Vitality no había tenido buenos partidos hasta ese momento. Debido a la dura derrota de la escuadra de Ocelote, el actual […]

Finally done setting up my display. For now. I’m so glad I’ve finally done this after so long. I’ve been actively collecting for twelve years and I’ve just never felt good about how I stored all my toys until now.

The top shelf is home to:

Generations Swerve

Prime Starscream

Prime Cliffjumper

Titans Return Hardhead

Primemaster Vector Prime with Safeguard

Cybertron Jolt

the original Windblade

Siege Sideswipe

The Dinobot Zone (POTP Grimlock with Thrilling 30 Reflector, Slug with Generations Scoop’s Double Targetmaster partners, Snarl, and Slash)

Thrilling 30 Brainstorm

Cybertron Breakdown

Cybertron Vector Prime

Generations Whirl

The Insect Zone (Animated Blackarachnia, Prime Hardshell (with the right arm of a knockoff G2 Space Case because I lost his original), Generations Skrapnel, and Cybertron Ransack (Ransack isn’t a bug guy but the original G1 Ransack was so I’m leaving him with them))

The Soundwave Corner (G1 Soundwave (with Laserbeak and Ravage), Prime Beast Hunters Soundwave (with Ravage), Animated Soundwave, Titans Return Ravage)

For the record: Prime Soundwave, Animated Soundwave, Snarl, Slash, Skrapnel, and Cybertron Jolt are in their altmodes

The second shelf is home to:

Titans Return Kup

Thrilling 30 Springer

Thrilling 30 Sandstorm

“Sixbrunt and his pet Gun�� (an amalgamation of Siege Brunt and Sixgun’s parts)

Cybertron Lugnutz

POTP Beachcomber

Generations Tankor

Cybertron Skywarp

G1 Thrust (in seriously bad condition)

Transmetal Rattrap (Takara version)

Transmetal Terrorsaur (Takara version)

Generations Scoop with Generations Flanker

Generations Goldfire

Generations Nightbeat

Knockoff G1 Lightspeed and Strafe

G1 Scrapper

G1 Hook

G1 Blades

And a whole bunch of Minicons and Go-Bots (actual, pre-Hasbro-buying-Tonka Go-Bots)

For reference: Tankor, Goldfire, Nightbeat, Lugnutz, and several of the Go-Bots and Minicons are in altmode.

The Reference Shelf is home to various accessories (mainly guns, combiner bits, and cyber keys), toys I’m not sure if I actually want anymore (mostly knockoffs and Happy Meal toys and the like, but notably... well, we’ll get to that in just a second), toys that are damaged and in need of repair (this category does slightly overlap with the previous one, as there are toys that I used to really love and still think are good, but are just too damaged to really be worth much anymore), and Construct-Bots stuff.

Notable “damaged toys” include:

Animated Jazz, who’s in that “possibly too broken to really hold onto” category, but he stands out as being probably the best one in that category, to the point where I’m actually considering getting another one to replace him. It helps that he was one of the first toys I bought with my own money.

Generations Roadbuster, who isn’t technically broken, but rather, my Roadbuster had a factory error where they put his foot on backwards. It’s a subtle issue since you can turn his foot all the way around, so in robot mode you can barely tell... but it seriously hinders the transformation. I’m waiting on my roommate to repair it.

G1 Hubcap, who I actually thought was Bumblebee when I was a kid because like........ hell, people already think of G1 Cliffjumper as “Bumblebee but red”, and Hubcap is literally “Cliffjumper but yellow and with a kinda Bumblebee-like face”. Can you blame me?

Animated Blitzwing, who’s mostly fine and actually one of my favorites, but DOES need some crucial repairs.

Movie Frenzy. Like, the one that turns into a boombox and can shoot CDs as projectiles, though I’ve long since lost all of those.

Cybertron Scrapmetal, who’s just completely fucking obliterated even worse than any of the others (my dog got to him) and I really should throw his remains away, but for very similar reasons to Jazz, I just can’t bring myself to throw him away. That dog also got to my Animated Lugnut, who is ALSO in this trio of Great Toys Who Were Some Of The First Toys I Bought And Am Actually Considering Buying Again Some Day, but for some reason I only hung onto the one part of him that got out fine, his right arm. I didn’t hold onto his mutilated corpse the way I did Scrapmetal.

Also, out of all those knockoffs, two stand out: knockoffs of G1 Killbison and Drillhorn. Yeah, the Breastforce dudes. But, as knockoffs, they lack both the Breastforce gimmicks and the ability to really combine, and without those........ they’re just really shitty Transformers. Like, some of the most absolutely worthless toys I’ve ever owned.

And finally, the bottom shelf is primarily dedicated to books (which is one of the things I used to dedicate this shelf space to; these books are mostly manga, but there’s also some Star Trek and Doctor Who novels, nonfiction, and even some IDW Transformers comics), but there are two friends here, largely because they were just too big for anywhere else (especially since the bottom shelf is the tallest).

The first friend is Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, who was actually a 22nd birthday present from @helpfool.

The second is an unnamed Combiner, composed of:

-Combiner Wars Silverbolt (Torso)

-Combiner Wars Offroad (left leg, and lone Decepticon)

-Power of the Primes Swoop (right arm)

-Power of the Primes Sludge (right leg)

-Power of the Primes Moonracer (right arm, and lone chick; i also erroneously called her Chromia in some earlier posts)

And also, a random detail: My G1 toys and Go-Bots, with the exception of Soundwave and the knockoffs, are all hand-me-downs from my Dad from when he was a kid. Hence why they’re also universally in such shitty condition.

My brief fanfic of how i imagine the G2 series story could have continued after “journey to one”.

The metal bird of white and gold soared through the sky, looking down on the similar colored figure walking below. The tall warrior stepped up over the rocks, trying to keep his strength. It had been a long trek up these hazardous mountains, with plenty of additional threats. He had encountered many a wild or corrupted beasts. He had just finished combat with a pack of wild fire boars. He heard the screech of Agil overhead and looked up, seeing with relief that he was near the peak.

He finally reached the peak, where sat what remained of a roofless temple; the temple of time. He pulled his weapon from his back and set it down and sat. Despite his haste, he was beyond exhausted, having travelled for days to reach his destination with little rest. He stared up at the twilight sky; night was setting in and the stars were out, just as was needed. Agil had perched on a broken stone and sat watching in intently. After another minute he stood up and stepped up to the alter at the pinnacle of the temple.

He placed a strange crystal at its center, which pulsed with elemental energy of each kind. He stood watching but nothing happened. His hope, his resolve, began to falter when it began to glow and the temple quake. Suddenly a beam of pure elemental energy stretched into the sky. He looked up and saw the six elemental stars begin to glow, just as he was told would happen. He suddenly felt a greater shake and realized with horror that the temple was breaking apart from the strain. Suddenly he heard the thunder of shattering rock and felt the ground beneath his feet fall out as the temple crumbled away. The last thing he saw before darkness was six streaks of light descending from the sky towards the temple.

He wasn’t sure how long had passed when he came to and pushed the rubble off him. As he looked about, he saw a light emanated from the other side of the mound that was the temple of time. He pushed up and climbed the rubble to look and there, within a heated crater, stood them, the toa; the great heroes he had been sent to summon. They were talking amongst themselves, laughing and chatting. He climbed down the other side of the rubble but slipped, tumbling down and catching their attention. They instinctively drew their weapons and took defensive stances.

“who goes there?!” tahu demanded

The newcomer awkwardly picked himself up and stood nervously, trying to not raise their ire.

“you…you are the toa?” He asked

“we are” kopaka answered warily

“I…”

He started with a weak squeak of a voice, still in shock and awe, before composing himself.

“I am takua, toa of light. I was tasked with summoning you to protect okoto once more”

There was a collective gasp of shock and some hushed murmuring amongst the toa. Sensing that this takua was not an enemy, tahu lowered his weapon and the others did as well. They looked him over; he certainly looked like a toa. He was average in height to the most of them. He had an ornate, crested golden mask that did seem to exude light. He had gold and white armor and held a long scythe or staff with a long, thick curved blade at its top, embedded in which was a bolt of crystalized energy. Gali noted that his armor included the elemental crystals like their armor did.

“wait” she thought aloud

It was then she, and soon the others, realized they no longer sported the crystals and enhanced armor ekimu had built for them. They had returned to their original armor and weapons.

“heh, fine by me” pohatu huffed, flipping his boomerangs

They each reexamined their old weapons, familiarizing themselves with them. They actually found it comforting to be returned to their original forms. Takua, feeling awkward and small in their presence, stayed silent. It was onua who finally looked up to see the fresh pile of destruction behind the new toa.

“what was this and what caused it?”

“well, it was the temple of time and I guess it was me who did it” takua admitted

“why” lewa asked

“it was in bad shape and I believe the energy used to summon you was too much for it”

“hmm, I don’t remember okotan craftsmanship being so brittle” pohatu fowned

“And speaking of which, where are the protectors then, I have so missed Korgots company” onua smiled

There was an awkward silence that lingered as takua took long moments to compose his answer. The toa could sense the heaviness; something was wrong.

“It…has been many, many years since you were last on okoto. The…protectors you knew have all passed away. New protectors have taken their posts, and scarcely venture from their villages or regions these days”

The revelation struck the toa hard and they looked about confused. Kopaka stepped forward to look down at takua with serious eyes.

“what has happened?”

“shadow and chaos now runs rampant across the island. Need was great for your aid”

“what shadow?”

“many, but at its core, makuta”

“so he persists?” onua spoke up

“it is, complicated”

“question; if the protectors are not here, how did you summon us?” lewa asked

“I will show you. The mask maker awaits us” takua answered

“ah, ekimu, good” tahu glowed

“hm, I have a few words for him” pohatu said lowly

Kopaka turned away from takua, shoulder to shoulder and facing tahu.

“how can we be sure we can trust him?” he whispered

Suddenly there was a screech above, and all eyes turned to see the elemental creature of light diving towards them.

“agil!” gali shouted happily

The bird perched on takua’s shoulder and nuzzled him affectionately.

“I see you are familiar with my partner” takua smiled

“that’s how” tahu answered kopaka

With that the group made the long trek back down the mountain range. Many questions were asked and takua awkwardly evaded most of them, only acknowledging that much time had passed and that okoto was in ruin. Indeed, much of the landscape seemed damaged or at least affected. They did encounter some of the beasts takua had already faced but their elemental powers proved more than a match for them. As they remembered, they were “their” elemental powers. The group was collectively more than relieved to not have to hunt for more pointless golden masks. Apparently the purpose of the golden masks was to reawaken and focus their abilities in their weakened states at the time.

“how did you become the toa of light? Last we saw it was…” gali started

“master ekimu, yes. I was a villager that he took in as his apprentice. He told me that the power of light was a grand power to fight darkness. He told me how he had once wielded it himself to be a toa for a short time, controlling only a fragment of its ability to stand with you in battle”

“stand in battle is a bit of a stretch” kopaka coughed

The group recalled how poorly the mask maker turned toa had fared in combat with the elemental beasts.

“yes, well, it was he who eventually bestowed unto me the mantle and power of toa of light before…” he trailed off

The toa sensed something, well many things, he was holding back. They walked for some time, through the night and most of the next day. Strangely enough to the toa, instead of making for the city of the mask makers at the islands center, they were heading to the slopes of where the mountains met the region of jungle. Eventually they came to what could best be described as a large, and very old stone dwelling, overgrown and shabby; it had clearly seen better days. It was not quite a temple but much more than a hut. The toa lingered, sensing something off but takua and agil entered without pause.

As they entered, they saw that the majority of the inside was one large chamber with a massive furnace, and at its center a forging slab. They heard stirring from one of the corners.

“mask maker, we have returned” takua announced

The toa saw a familiar squat silhouette begin to emerge from the shadows, though something seemed different, wrong about it. As the figure appeared before them, they were struck with horror; the purple eyes and armor highlights, the mask of control; it was makuta.

“makuta!” they all yelled

They all drew their weapons and channeled their elements, ready to attack.

“wait!” takua yelled

He and agil jumped in front of them, blocking any attack.

“I knew it, traitor, false toa” kopaka growled

The accusation seemed to cut the light warrior deep. He seemed almost depressed for a moment before anger overtook him. He readied his weapon to battle when the small smith pushed forward.

“I am no longer the bearer of that name” he said

His voice was deeper and fiercer than ekimus but still soft and wise, strangely almost soothing to the toa, which put them even further from ease.

“what do you mean? Explain tyrant, where is ekimu?”

“my brother…is dead” he answered

Overcome with fury and now engulfed in flame, tahu struck with his blades, only for his fatal strike to be blocked by takua. To all the toas confusion, makuta never flinched or blocked or made to attack.

“you are…right to have hate for me, and want to strike me down. I would not blame you”

“what happened to ekimu?” onua demanded

“he gave his life to save us” takua answered

“how, why?” gali asked

Makuta waved for them to follow him to another room. They did, with great apprehension, weapons still in hand. They came to a room with a bonfire at its center and 6 stools set around it. Makuta took one and gestured for them to take the rest. Save takua, the toa remained still, until pohatu, not one for tact or patience, stepped forward. He was followed by gali, then onua, then lewa, the kopaka and finally tahu. Tahus presence as he sat caused the fire to flare a bit, a sign of his anger. The mask maker paused, seeming almost intimidated under the toas hateful stares, before finally beginning.

“you all of course know of my…regrettable past and actions. When last we saw each other you sealed me away in the shadow realm. But I did not remain. Eventually, over time, the barrier weakened, and creatures of darkness began to escape. Eventually, I too forced my way through, but it was a crossing almost as cataclysmic as my first being imprisoned there. It rent my being itself asunder”

The mention of such a thing snapped the toa from their glares and they were overtaken by interest.

“I was finally freed of all the darkness that had gathered in my darker half. There was now makuta and me”

“and what, who are you then?” lewa asked

“I am free. The mask of ultimate power amplified my jealousy, anger, hatred and desire. And for a thousand years it enslaved me to those impulses. I gave myself wholly to them. It was not until I was free of them that I realized the poison they were. The mask, it absorbed them all and became an entity all its own, born from my darkness”

“the mask of ultimate power?” pohatu asked

“no. that mask was destroyed the day ekimu shattered it. This, what I had in the shadow realm, was far more dangerous. It is the mask of darkness, the manifestation of rampant power with now directive, just like makuta”

“so there are two of you now?” tahu asked

“I relinquished the name out of shame. I am, as I once was, a mere mask maker”

The mask maker gestured up to the structure around them.

“this, toa, was where it all started. My brother and me, alone here, making masks for those who desired them. Before fame, or power or responsibility. We lived simple lives back then”

“so what happened next” an enthralled lewa asked

“takua saved me from makuta and took me to the city, to ekimu. I was weak, barely awake or able to move. Not long after, the minions of makuta came, besieging the city. Luckily the villagers had already fled, affronted by my presence”

“master ekimu said he would make a stand…” takua started in

“he told me to take his brother and flee. I didn’t want to leave him but he said it was not my destiny to perish there. I was meant to live and protect okoto”

“so what happened?” tahu demanded again

“ekimu had, over the years, had me collect the fragments of the mask of ultimate power. I thought it was to destroy it, but it was to lock them away. When the time came, it was his weapon of last resort. As we prepared to leave, shadow warriors and skull warriors swarming the city, he reforged the pieces together, the strain almost killing him. He sent us away, then there was only destruction” takua finished

“he shattered the mask again, I more than any know what that means. Its destruction destroyed it, him, the city and the invaders. Nothing remained” makuta finished

“wow” lewa said as he dropped his head into his hands, crest fallen

“his spirit is one with the world now” makuta nodded

“and makuta? The…the other one I mean” kopaka crossed his arms

“survived, escaped, I could sense it. He dared not enter the city himself. Now he is free, hidden, unleashing evil beasts and minions on okoto. The island has never known darkness like this”

“what of the elemental creatures?” onua inquired

“they returned to their regions, dormant now I imagine, not been sighted in some time”

“question!” lewa raised his arm

“oh…uh, yes”

“how did you get the mask of control back?”

“I was wonder about that as well” pohatu added

“ekimu had apparently found and restored it”

“He gave it to me along with his brothers forging hammer when he sent us away. I gave them to him when he was strong enough” takua added

“so what do you do now?”

“what I was meant to, make masks. Takua delivers them to the villages. They believe he has forged them and that is what’s best”

“and I and agil fight whatever foul things makuta unleashes as they come. The villages are secluded and in fear and fight where they can but…hope is fleeting”

“which is why we realized we needed the toa to turn the tide against darkness”

“what kind of things has makuta been doing?”

“his threat is tenfold with him in this plain, on the island now. Wild animals, rampant and corrupted, elemental beasts and shadow okotans. And some new beings; foul warriors doing his bidding”

“like nidhiki” takua scowled

“what?” gali asked

“a vile spider or crab-like warrior. He’s one of makutas main goons. We have fought many times”

“so…this is our duty…” tahu started

Suddenly there was an incredulous aghast sound from pohatu.

“duty…what even is our duty our purpose. Are we just cleaners to be called every time a fight is to be had? Is that all we are?”

“agreed, ekimu used us and we went blindly along with his prophecy nonsense. It made non sense” kopaka added

“yeah, I mean, destiny is one thing but, if ekimu already knew what was meant to happen, then fate was already tempered with. Okoto could have been saved in a day if he told us the truth” gali chimed in

The mask maker looked among the discontent looks of the toa. Even takua seemed afflicted, having also been in a similar situation with his brother.

“I am not ekimu. I do not deal with prophecy and pathways, half-truths and vague suggestion. The prophecy and its impact were of his making, his machinations. I no longer have desire for such things. If you want answers, than ask”

There was a shocked silence as the toa looked about each other, trying to compose what to say.

“who are we?” tahu said pleadingly

That was the core of their desire, of what they truly wanted to know. The mask maker knew such a thing would one day come up. He breathed slowly, composing himself.

“you…the toa…huff, the six elemental stars power this world, fuel the elements and life itself. And you are their souls, the living manifestations of those elements and the spirits of the stars. Legend had it that you have been summoned all through history, protecting this world from disaster”

“oh my god” tahu shook

“then why do we remember nothing?” kopaka asked

“A old sage once told ekimu and myself, when we were young, that he saw you battle a great evil that destroyed itself and you. It seems your spirits lived, but your past memories did not. A curse or a blessing, for you to decide”

A long, sober night proceeded, their host insisted they relax and rest before the fate of the island was decided. Under the circumstances, the toa chose to give the mask maker the benefit of the doubt. There was conversation, questions, answers and the slightest bit of revelry and enjoyment. Outside, in a tree above, a large insectoid watch the dwelling intently. Seeing the flickering of the fire in the windows and the voices from within, he had his answer.

“hssss, the toa have returned, makuta must know”

Within, the toa had drinks and were being taught an old bards song from ages past. All joined, save onua. On the other side of the home, he sat alone, legs crossed, in meditation; there was much to reflect on. Eyes closed, mind and soul open, he found his outstretched consciousness answered.

“unity, duty, destiny” he heard

He recognized the soft voice of ekimu, coming from within, not without.

“I am one with this world now. And you must make this world united. United, but not one. Only when united can okoto overcome the darkness” it faded

“I understand” onua said aloud

Eventually sleep did come. It was mid-morning when takua finally awoke in his room. Agil perched at the window as every day. He heard the ringing of his host working, forging masks. He went by the room in which he knew the toa were sleeping but saw only discarded pillows and blankets. He heard grunts and the clanging of metal outside that he knew now to be the sound of battle. He drew his staff and raced out, thinking makutas forces had found them. Instead, he was met with the sight of the toa, paired up and battling with their weapons; training. Ever since the loss of their memories, they had not developed great skill with their weapons, and found themselves relying on their powers or team attacks. They realized they had to improve their skills for the trials to come.

Lewa whizzed through the air, avoiding the swings of onuas hammer, and countering with strikes from his blades, which struck the earth toas shoulder armor. Gali and pohatu spun about each other, her twirling her trident to blocks strikes from his boomerangs, which repelled and whizzed back to his hands. Tahu and kopaka were locked in a much tenser clash. Magma blades and ice spear and shield locked together, they pushed against each other trying to compromise the others footing with sheer strength. They broke and were about to re-engage when they took notice of takua.

“come on over toa of light, let’s see what you have” tahu smirked

“Aye, we are tougher than a fire boar. Try your telent against a real warrior” kopaka added

Takua put up a façade of timidness and nervousness. They took the bait and attacked individually, and he easily fended both off. They grew aggravated fast and attacked in unison. He blocked both blows with his staff, then as they were locked, discharged a blast of light from his mask. Both now blinded for the moment, he withdrew his staff and with a flick of his wrist, used it to pull their feet out from under them. Both fell hard to the ground with a grunt as their sight came back. The first image they saw was him smiling down at them.

“yes, real warriors” he grinned

He had been trained well in combat, both by ekimu and in his battles as a toa. Though he did not feel worthy, he was a toa warrior. While he appeared cool, inside he was screaming like a child on his first trip out of the village. He was nothing but a villager outcast, then a toa, and now here he was sparing with the great toa heroes of legend. He could hardly believe it was not a dream, but dreams seldom also included so much darkness. The other toa had broken from their training to watch and were now haughtily laughing. Kopaka coolly ignored it; tahu was less reserved, leaving a charred outline of grass in his shape as a sign of his agitation.

“takua, I meant to ask again; without the protectors, how were you able to summon us back” gali asked

“the mask maker forged a special elemental crystal, which I had to journey to each village with. Each protector needed to touch it so it could absorb a portion of their energy. That combined filled the role needed for the ritual I guess” he shrugged

“makes sense” pohatu shrugged

“so, what is our next step, where do we hunt makuta?” lewa chirped from the air

“we don’t, not yet” onua answered

“what?!” the other six toa gasped

“in my meditation, I heard the voice, the spirit of ekimu; he urged us to unite okoto”

“okoto cannot be united while makuta roams free” the mask maker scowled from the door

His personal stake and salvation in makutas defeat was showing, harder than ever before. It was his desire to see ther toa destroy his darker half, purging his shame from the world.

“it is only through unity that the island, and its people will survive”

“yes, as I said, the regions are divided, the villages scared and apart”

“I see, yes. we will inspire, unite the people of okoto” gali clapped

“yes, show them that if they rise and stand together, they can stamp out the darkness” tahu added

“the okotans wil rise against makuta, not as many, but as one” pohato finished

The mask maker stood silent, reflecting, before returning to finish the masks he was working on. He had multiple spare masks for each village and if the toa were going to them, they might as well deliver them for him. If they were used and valued, that was all that mattered, even if he would not be the one to receive the credit. That was a lesson he wish he had been capable of learning a thousand years ago.

“so, takua, what other evils does makuta command?” kopaka asked

“other evils, probably many now. Well the shadow okotans, the elemental beasts, the corrupted animals, nihdiki I said and some other brute warrior with him. kulta and the skull warriors…

“kulta, the skull grinder, still alive?!” tahu jumped

“I suppose, if whatever he is counts as alive. Skull spiders I still believe as well and there have been rumors of serpent women of some kind abducting villagers into the shadows. Then the skrall could always come back…”

“skrall, what are skrall?”

“invaders from across the sea; they were repelled, barely, but we know they will return. I could easily see them falling under makutas sway”

“so many threats, I wonder if we have ever faced such odds before that we don’t remember” lewa asked

“perhaps one day you will find out” the mask maker said

He dropped a bag of mask and supplies at their feet.

“best get moving, there is much to be done” he added

“well then team let’s move out and…” tahu started

“hold fire head, who made you our eternal leader. You had your chance, the toa of ice should lead this time” kopaka announced

Tahu and kopaka glared at each other.

“maybe I should lead, might be fun” pohatu shrugged

Lewa, dropped down, hanging upside-down by his legs from a tree branch.

“how about a leader who’s got some actual brains, like onua or gali or me”

The mask maker narrowed his eyes in disappointment as they squabbled.

“my vote is for takua” onua spoke up

All eyes turned to the toa of light, who was sitting absent mindedly on a rock with agil perched on his arm.

“what?!” he choked out

All then others were just as stunned and confused.

“this is not the okoto we knew. We are strangers here, more so now than before. He proved himself to ekimu and earned his power. He is brave, skilled and clearly has much he can teach us. If you lead takua, I will follow”

Onua held his weapon out and bowed his head. There was a mix of amusement, awe and incredulousness at this. Takua stood up, agil still on his arm, and in what may have been some form of a divine sign, light through the tree tops shown down over him, reflecting and magnifying the light outwards from his mask. The other five toa did the same with little argument; onuas logic was rarely easy to argue with. Takua looked dumbfounded, overcome with emotion and shock. He looked to the mask maker, who merely nodded, impressed.

“unity” tahu proclaimed

“duty” takua answered

“destiny!” the 7 toa called out in unison.

The legend continues

G2’s LoL players take playful shots at T1 by changing solo queue account names

For this year's League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, G2 Esports is prepared. To make fun of G2's foreign rivals from the LCK: T1, all five of the team's starters have modified their League usernames. With their solo queue name changes, each of G2’s players gives a shoutout to their individual lane opponent on T1, while recognizing that they have last year’s Worlds runners-up in their sights. G2 top laner Broken Blade changed his name to “Zeus Slayer,” while AD carry Hans Sama changed his solo queue name to “Gumayusi Slayer,” and the same can be said for each G2 member and their corresponding T1 rival. https://twitter.com/Caedrel/status/1641377337102016512 So far, G2 are the only team from across the global League scene to have actually locked in their place at MSI. Their victory in the LEC Winter Split secured them a direct trip to the tournament, regardless of how they finish in the league’s ongoing Spring Split. This season, two teams from each of the major regions will qualify for MSI, giving regions like EMEA and Korea even more representation at the event. Although T1 haven’t qualified for MSI as of today, it’s extremely likely that the team will march through the LCK Spring Playoffs and represent Korea at MSI for the second straight season. Should they defeat Gen.G in this coming weekend’s third-round matchup, they’ll advance to MSI as Korea’s second seed, at the very least. Last year, G2 emphatically stopped T1 in their tracks in the MSI group stage, ending their 26-match winning streak to open the 2022 season. But it was T1 who got the last laugh at last year’s tournament, sweeping G2 in the semifinal round. MSI 2023 will begin on May 2 with London serving as the host city throughout the event.

Équipe Lec de la semaine: 2022 Spring Split Semaine 8

Après 18 jeux remplis de déjoue, backdoors, et bouleversé victoires, le 2022 LEC Spring Split a finalement atteint les séries éliminatoires. De playoffs débutants comme Excel Esports à surprendre les non-participants comme MAD Lions, la League européenne de la scène Legends a réduit à ses six meilleures équipes.

G2 brisé Lame

MAD Elyoya

MSF Vétheo

FNC Upset

FNC HYLISSANG

Cependant, avant que les séries éliminatoires commencent, nous devons reconnaître les cinq meilleurs joueurs qui ont fait le week-end dernier de la saison régulière une bonne personne. Bien que la majorité des joueurs va se passer à la bataille pour un trophée plus tard ce mois-ci, un joueur sur une équipe non-éliminatoire resplendit suffisamment lumineux pour capturer une place dans notre équipe finale de la semaine.

Voici Dot Esports LEC 2022 Spring équipe de Split de la semaine pour la semaine huit.

G2 brisé Lame

Lame brisée a couronné une scission de la Renaissance avec un trio de performances impressionnantes dans huit semaines, solidifiant son cas pour un signe de tête All-Pro G2 tout en menant Esports encore une place en séries éliminatoires dans le processus.

Ce printemps, brisé la lame a été l'un des plus méta-plieuses uniques dans le LEC avec 11 différents champions joué pendant les dédoublé à égalité pour le plus parmi tous les top laners aux côtés de Finn Excel et quatrième parmi tous les joueurs de la ligue, selon les statistiques League Site Leaguepedia.

Alors que le reste les laners top de la ligue ont été claquant des jeux sur meta choix comme Jayce, Gwen, et Graves, brisé la lame a passé la plupart de son temps à cette division jouer dehors-the-box champions de carry tels que Akali, Yone et Akshan-ci dont il avait l'habitude de ramasser une grande victoire sur Excel vendredi dernier. Lors de l'utilisation « off-meta » champions cette division (champions avec moins de 10 choix individuels à la position de la voie en haut), Broken Blade et G2 a affiché un dossier de 7-4, tandis que le laner haut vétéran s'amassé 48 attaques marquantes dans les 11 jeux, selon le site de League Jeux de Legends. Peut-être est poétique cassé la lame a commencé la division en prenant un Corki peu orthodoxe choisir dans la voie de haut et a pris fin ce week-end passé avec deux jeux sur le Akshan rarement utilisé.

MAD Elyoya

Ils pourraient ne pas avoir fait aux séries éliminatoires LEC cette saison, mais MAD Lions a fait Finissez la semaine super finale du printemps dans le style avec trois victoires d'affilée contre l'équipe Vitalité, Astralis, et l'équipe BDS. Mais il est venu un peu trop tard; cet effort de la dernière chance ne pouvait pas les sortir du trou, ils se creusé dans la seconde moitié de la saison.

Et pourtant, la doublure d'un d'argent pour la saison de cette liste a fait son chemin dans le feu des projecteurs une fois de plus: MAD de jungler de star Lions, Elyoya. À travers le week-end, Elyoya se classait au troisième plus de victimes dans la ligue, avec une frappe de 15 KDA et en participant à une somme exorbitante 84,5 pour cent des éliminations au total de son équipe, selon l'Elixir d'Oracle. Il avait de grandes performances à travers le conseil d'administration sur un mélange de champions et de styles, comme Poppy, Xin Zhao, et Viego, ce qui permet le reste de ses coéquipiers de briller avec lui.

Le reste, âgé de 21 ans a la même étincelle que nous avons vu de grand écart avant, mais maintenant, lui et le reste de MAD Lions doit prendre le temps de former leurs pairs plus inexpérimentés afin qu'ils puissent se battre pour le trône lorsque le 2022 été de Split commence. Heureusement pour eux, ils ont beaucoup de temps pour rédiger quelques stratégies qui les aideront à se développer à l'avenir.

MSF Vétheo

Misfits avaient une fin chaotique de leur semaine en remportant deux de leurs trois derniers matchs. Mais ils ont des spectateurs impressionnés par leurs performances impressionnantes tout au long du printemps 2022 LEC Split.

Vétheo est apparu sur notre TOTW à plusieurs reprises cette scission, et il a été sous forme formidable. Avec les assassinats en solo sur le Rift à avoir une synergie parfaite avec son équipe, âgé de 19 ans a tiré l'attention de nombreux téléspectateurs. Après la semaine dernière, il a terminé avec le plus grand nombre de victimes (98), deuxième plus haut KDA (5.9), et le troisième nombre le plus bas de décès (36) entre tous au milieu laners, selon le site de l'League Elixir d'Oracle. Son rôle instrumental a aidé l'équipe à divers aspects vitaux comme teamfights, et il a obtenu tue en porte essentielle. De plus, sa polyvalence à jouer plusieurs playstyles en fonction du projet de son équipe est précieux pour toute l'équipe. Avec ces performances dominantes, les fans sont sûrement le considérant comme une partie des trois principaux milieu des laners de l'Europe en ce moment.

L'équipe doit affiner leur style de jeu et corriger leurs erreurs à faire tomber les grands favoris de la LEC. La façon dont cette équipe trouve toujours une façon de fermer matches, cependant, il ne devrait pas être une surprise s'ils finissent par faire une course en profondeur LEC 2022 séries éliminatoires du printemps.

FNC Upset

Pour une troisième fois cette saison, se retrouve Upset dans l'équipe de Dot Esports de la semaine. Et encore une fois, le joueur allemand a gagné sa place grâce à sa brillante performance au cours des trois derniers matchs de la saison régulière 2022 LEC printemps Split.

Alors que Fnatic a jeté un match contre les mégadons le week-end dernier, bouleversé se vantait toujours d'un ratio de 5,0 kDa dans ce match et n'était pas celui qui n'était pas dépassé dans son équipe. En huit huit, il était le troisième meilleur joueur de la concurrence en termes de KDA, avec une note de 13,7, selon Elixir d'Oracle. Il a été deuxième dans des tuer (22) et une différence d'or à 10 minutes (1 038), tout en finissant d'abord en CS par minute (10.3). Ses performances impressionnantes sur Caitlyn et Zeri ont été essentielles à la deuxième place dans le classement.

Cette scission, contrariée, cassé des registres en ayant le nombre de décès le plus bas dans l'histoire de la LCE. De plus, il a terminé la saison régulière comme joueur avec la plus haute kda (16,5) et la différence d'or à 10 minutes (395). Outre Hylissang, ils sont tous deux devenus une force imparable et prouvé qu'ils sont capables de transporter les jeux les plus difficiles sur leurs épaules. En termes simples, ils sont la duo la plus forte de la voie inférieure du Lec jusqu'à présent, et il y a peu de concurrence pouvant correspondre à leur niveau.

FNC HYLISSANG

Encore une fois, Hylissang est le support optimal de la LEC. Au cours de la dernière semaine de la saison régulière de Lec Spring Split 2022, il a eu la plus haute participation de la KDA et tue la participation des soutiens, selon le site Web de la statistique league Oracle's Elixir.

Tout comme le champion qu'il a joué deux fois la semaine dernière, Hylissang est celui qui a appelé les coups de feu dans le match. Ses performances avec Renata Glasc n'étaient pas seulement les premières de la scène de la ligue compétitive, mais elles ont également contribué à gagner deux matchs, qui leur ont atterri la deuxième place dans la saison régulière. Dans le match contre Excel, Hylissang dansait à la limite de la mort, de confiance et d'investir dans son annonce portait tout ce qu'il avait. Et, étant donné que leur travail d'équipe en tant que duo n'a jamais été plus fort que ce qu'il est maintenant, il a payé. Même lorsque des contrariétés ne pouvaient pas mettre de tuer à la banque, la Renata de Hylissang a fermé la transaction avec une prise de contrôle hostile.

Hylissang a conclu la saison régulière du Spring Split Lec avec une performance emblématique comme l'une des meilleures prises en charge de l'Europe. Une fois de plus, le professeur a enseigné à tous les autres comment faire des affaires sur la Rift, aidant son équipe à atteindre un grand résultat également grâce à la grande synergie qu'il a avec sa lanière Bot, contrarié. Fnatic met en place une prise de contrôle hostile de l'Europe avec le support stellaire. Et après une saison régulière où Hylissang _got le travail fait, tout ce qu'il et fnatic à faire est également conquérir les séries éliminatoires.
