I don't know how I got the S, but hey, that chest I got gave me a new skin.

Since I didn't know this existed until yesterday, I figured I'd share this for other people who also were unaware of this track's existence.
Many of you are familiar with Burning Bright, the musical piece composed for the Star Guardians. Lo and behold, the Japanese theme for the Star Guardians is called "Endless Starlight" and is COMPLETELY different from the English version. Now I don't consider myself an anime junkie, but I do think this is a substantial improvement upon the other... -
Thanks to all the nominations for Rebornies and Royalty!
Some clarification regarding the voting periods for the party, as there has been some confusion.
**We are voting on Reborn Royalty first, separately from Rebornies, and we are doing so earlier than usual.**
Reborn Royalty voting will take place at 1:00 PM ET. Pick and choose your royal triage for the party! Nominations will be accepted right up until the time when voting begins.The OP has all the nominations, so if you don't see someone there whom you'd like to nominate, please do so!
If you or one of your fellow nominees are not going to be at the party come voting but are still nominated, you may retain your eligibility by messaging me on Discord, Showdown, or this forum. (Rebornies don't require your presence for you to win.)
The Reborn awards, Rebornies, will have their voting take place at 6 PM ET.
Anymore questions? Ask awayand I'll get to them when I wake up -

I chose the time frame to compliment our not American audiences, any time frames you guys would prefer and we can discuss how we would push it back?
Either later or on Sunday would honestly be best. As we're wrapping up exams, essays and finals, our mid-afternoon schedules are too variant.
(I can't attend the tourney if it stays at the current time.) -
Ladies and gentlemen, ranked 3's.

I could see Smogon banning Thousand Arrows at some point if the Garde Dog truly gets out of hand, but as it stands I doubt it. Without Thousand Arrows, it is basically Lycanroc (Midday) with different typing.
If Thousand Arrows gets banned it could possibly be due to Zygarde-Complete. However, Garde Dog could see a lot of standard meta use since it outspeeds Garchomp while having Extreme Speed and two boosters. Only problem is it's a lot worse against physical attackers due to lack of access to Rough Skin (or any half-decent ability for that matter) and worse HP. It lacks Garchomp's sheer utility.

Just to note, that Tapu Lele's Psychic Terrain makes it immune to Espeed.
It already outspeeds regardless of natures, and +1 Thousand Arrows with Life Orb + Adamant is a guaranteed OHKO on Tapu Lele.
If Zygarde runs Jolly Nature instead, Swords Dance can still cause Thousand Arrows to OHKO, even if Tapu Lele runs max Defense EVs (which I don't see it doing due to its poor base Defense).
+1 Thousand Arrows also OHKOs Skarmory after Stealth Rock.
The raw power of this set is just nuts. -
It probably would look a lot better with just a couple o tweaks.
The best fix would be to adjust her idle pose, that's most of the battle right there.

Rengar had 100% pick/ban in the first week of pre-season ranked in Platinum and Diamond in NA. He was disgusting because no one knew how to fight him.
Kha was more reasonable.

Not much talk about Super Doggo lately. So let's bring up Zygarde's 10% Forme real quick. Do note though, I'm not calling this thing OP by any means.Highest base stats: Speed (115), Attack (100)Type: Ground/DragonAbility: Aura BreakProjected use: Physical set-up sweeperZygarde's stats in its 10% Forme are much better catered to sweeping than its bulkier counterparts. High Speed and Attack, but terrible Special Attack, and okay-ish defenses which are offset by awful HP. Dragon/Ground is a noteworthy coverage combination, especially given we're going to see a lot of Electric-types like Tapu Koko in OU, but with things like floating Fairies and Skarmory...wait. Thousand Arrows hits airborne Pokemon like Skarmory and knocks them down to the ground, ignoring Flying type traits and things like Levitate and Air Balloon. This means that with Extreme Speed, this Pokemon has perfect coverage with 115 Speed, not to mention the potent offense of Dragon-type Outrage augmenting its sweeping powers even further.It does have a major weakness though. Any bulky Ice-type will immediately put an end to its rampage. Things like Kyurem, Crabominable can make life miserable for Zygarde by switching into it then sending it packing the next turn. In the OU metagame, it will be hard-checked by Tapu Fini. That's the key though; defensive Ice- or Fairy-types. Pokemon like Weavile and Tapu Lele do not have the bulk to survive a Thousand Arrows>Extreme Speed combo. Overall, Zygarde becomes an extreme threat if it is left to set up one or two Swords Dances, but it simply does not have the bulk to survive in the standard metagame. In Underused it will either thrive and dominate, or it will plain suck. 115 Speed and this kind of coverage is too much for RU however. At worst, it will be BL2.Example set:Zygarde-T @ Life Orb / Groundium ZAbility: Aura BreakEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 SpdAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) / Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)- Thousand Arrows- Extreme Speed- Swords Dance / Dragon Dance- Outrage / Rock Slide / Stone EdgeZygarde 10% gets by through simple brute force. Thousand Arrows and Extreme Speed give perfect coverage, which is helpful given the Ground-type STAB that annihilates almost anything in two hits after an Attack boost (even Fliers like Skarmory). For the boost in Attack, Swords Dance is usually better than Dragon Dance given Zygarde's already good Speed and use of a priority move, but if you want to beat out Weavile and scarf users, Dragon Dance is there. Rock Slide and Stone Edge also help deal with fliers that don't have a Ground weakness, but sometimes Outrage is better suited for the job due to its raw offensive power. Zygarde has no perfect answer for Fairies though. He just has to try plow through them. Life Orb and Groundium Z both help with augmenting Zygarde's power to extreme levels, but beware that applying Z to Thousand Arrows will remove its ability to hit Flying-types. Your choice of nature is also important; while Adamant is great due to priority moves and already outspeeding nature-boosted base 100s, it needs Jolly in order to outspeed Garchomp, Lati@s and Thundurus. I would recommend Adamant only if you have sufficient Ice-type offense to deal with these Pokemon.
Projected tier: BL

Remember to not nominate someone that's already been nominated.
Once someone has been nominated, they're in and eligible to be voted on. That is a different process that occurs come the Party.
@mde2001 Feel free to amend your nominations. -

Hey, folks.
I'll be stepping up once again to help with Rebornies voting and Reborn Royalty. Rules on voting for Rebornies are being amended as we speak~
Current Rules (Rebornies)Spoiler- Nominations for each Rebornie may be posted in this thread, or through a direct message sent to me either on this forum or through Discord. No nominations will be accepted through Showdown, as they will not be logged.
- Members may find themselves nominated for more than one category, but they can not win in more than one. If a given community member places highest in voting for more than one category, then they will be awarded in the category in which they received the higher percentage of total votes.
- Moderators and Administrators who have held their administrative position since September 1st, 2016 are ineligible to be nominated for or win awards. Thus, Njab is still eligible for nomination.
Current Rules (Reborn Royalty)Spoiler- Nominations for each position may be posted in this thread, or through a direct message sent to me either on this forum or through Discord. No nominations will be accepted through Showdown, as they will not be logged for review when the time comes.
-
Any forum user, including staff, may be nominated for Jack Frost, Snow Queen, and Polar Monarch. While anyone can be nominated for any position of royalty, it is encouraged that any nominations for a given forum-goer are kept to the position representative of their gender.
- For example, while you could nominate Amethyst for Jack Frost if you really wanted, I would rather you nominate Ame for Snow Queen. This is to even out competition and make sure we don't have the whole forum vying for Snow Queen like we have a few times. In the event that such a member is nominated for more than one position, they will appear on the ballot representative of their gender as it is set on the forum, unless they are not set to "Not Telling" or if they do not have a Forum Account. (This means that people who regular the Showdown or Discord servers may still be nominated.)
- A forum member may not nominate themselves.
- Nominations will be collected via a separate forum thread, and voting will begin at a to-be-determined time. In order to win Reborn Royalty, you must be online on Showdown or Discord. (All festivities are on Showdown, bee tee dubs.)
- Voting will be counted by myself and our handy dandy Gossip Gardevoir (assuming she can make it, we hope so since we love her) after voting has finished. Announcements for Reborn Royalty will be made as soon as votes are finished).
- Fanfic writing is optional.
I will not be running the Smash tournament this year. Godot has agreed to take the reins this time. -
Just now, Sheep said:
Once you are done with the sub-bullets, what?
See, I am a shining example of someone who could use the very tips I posted.
-
This forum has some new features that set it apart from the old one. It can take some time getting used to, but once you get the hang of things, you'll come to appreciate the upgraded software. Below are some things you can now do with it:
Logging on
-
If you're having trouble logging on, it may be because your username and Display Name have now been harmonized and you use your Display Name to log in.
- Case in point, under the old forum my username was rc52, which was my old Display Name. It became Shanco later on, but I still logged in using rc52 for a user name. Now my login is my Display Name (aka Shanco or whatever it may be at the time), and the login info changes as my username does.
Formatting
-
When using a Link, you may simply embed it into previously typed text by highlighting what you want the link to embed into and then clicking the Link /
button.
-
The Quote /
and Spoiler / 
buttons work identically. You can either add the boxes first, then put text and images into them, or you can highlight the text you want to put into the Quotes or Spoilers before clicking on the respective buttons.
-
If you want to add sub-bullets to a list like this one, there are two ways to go about this.
- The first one is by starting a new bullet and then pressing Tab. The bullet will indent and become hollow. Once you are done with the sub-bullets, press Enter twice to return to normal bullets.
- The second one is accomplished by the Increase Indent button, right next to the Bulleted List button. Once you are done with the sub-bullets, press the next button over, Decrease Indent, once you get to the next line.
Images
- Posting a link of a picture into your post will cause the forum to automatically embed the image. This is something to keep in mind when posting in a screenshot thread. If you don't want this, you may look for the prompt.
- If you are using Firefox or Chrome, you can copy an image directly into the post by simply right-clicking, selecting "Copy Image", and pasting. Saves you time chasing the URL.
-
To make the picture itself turn into a link, highlight the picture, press the Link /
button, and put the destination URL.
Before posting
- Check the box below your post that says "Notify me of replies" to get Notifications to the top right of the forum that alert you to whenever someone else posts in the thread in question. Otherwise, you will only be notified if your post is Quoted or gains Reputation.
-
If you want to preview what you're writing, click on the Preview /
button. There will be three options: Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. I'd personally only worry about these options if your post is heavy on images, for larger images can pose viewing headaches.
If there are any more, feel free to add them in! After all I'm sure there are more to come.

Why hello there.
Camille's been out on PBE for a week or so. I've spent a bit of time watching a few Camille games (often dittos, which were hilarious to watch). This woman seemed to be my kind of champ, so I gave her a shot or two too. Sooooo...here are some initial thoughts.Camille's Niche
Highly mobile AD-based initiation/aggression bruiser.
Pros
- Elusive early-game, making her very hard to gank even in top lane
- Very strong sticking power
- Powerful jungle duelist
- Untargetable dash
- Physical, magic and true damage, including %health scalings
- Can function late-game with either tankier or more damage-oriented builds
- Feels great and fun as hell once you get used to her
Cons
- Questionable strength vs mixed comps
- Disengaged from very easily outside of lane
- Mediocre waveclear
- Gets absolutely ruined by CC in teamfights
- Very feast-or-famine-ish
- Requires precise control in order to achieve optimal play
Camille's Damage
Camille's a physical damage-oriented champion first and foremost, but her Q gives her access to true damage if she can stick to her target. Once Camille gets her Ultimate, she gains magic damage equal to a portion of the target's current Health as long as she's in the zone.
Adaptive DefensesThis is very important for anyone who plays Camille. Attacking an enemy gives Camille a Health-scaling shield to protect from their primary damage type; for example, attacking Yasuo will give her a shield to protect against physical damage, while taking a swing at Elise will give her a magic damage shield. As you can imagine, there's no way to protect against both types of damage simultaneously (unlike most shields). As a tradeoff, the shield strength is a whopping 20% of her maximum Health - just enough meat on it to stuff less impressive early-game damage. The shield acts as incentive to make the first move in fights and trades, nullifying many panic options. Thus staying unpredictable and on the attack will usually draw the best use of the shield, as opposed to playing reactionary and defensive.
This can backfire in lane however, and it will backfire hard if you let it. Champions with high mixed damage early game, such as Shen, Singed or Tahm Kench, can work around this shield through their damage, particularly if they have high DPS to shred the shield while continuing to whittle down her health, staying up close in order to not give her Tactical Sweep's incentive for landing the long-range kick. The 20-second cooldown of the passive enables adversaries to jump on her in this window to lay down large portions of hurt without much opportunity for a worthy return trade. In order to use this passive to its fullest, remember that Camille ought to be the one to set the pace of lane, NOT her opponent; If control of the lane is lost, it will take a lot to get it back.
When you make the first move, the shield acts as incentive to keep the pedal to the metal and out-trade.Power spike
Camille gets going in the early-game, particularly between levels 4 to 6 where the damage from Precision Protocol really starts to hurt. As with other snowbally champs like Diana and Riven, the length of her power spike hinges on her success in lane; if she loses the momentum, she is easily countered by simply grouping up and taking objectives, since she's only an average splitpusher. If she can continue pushing her advantage past level 9 this is when she gets super scary, being able to give (and take) a ton of damage in a moderate timeframe. Reaching six items before her opponents will give her team an immense leg up provided they give her the ward support and followups on her engages once she makes a move in a fight.
Regardless of how poorly she's doing, if there's one thing Camille can always do well past lane phase, it's initiate a teamfight by isolating a key threat (or several) through proper use of her ultimate. The timing of its use makes or breaks fights however; sometimes it just makes more sense to ult on the tank for peel, or in order to make it clear to your teammates who priority number one is in your mind. But don't push melees too close to your ADC however! Keep in mind where the rest of the team is going to be knocked to when you ult someone.Camille in the Jungle
All in all, while I do think Camille is best suited to top lane where she can exploit all of her strengths to the fullest, her jungling isn't bad. She has sustain, a stun, an attack speed steroid, %health damage, and auto resets to rack up DPS on the camps. Hookshot helps her get through the jungle pretty quickly when she has blue buff. Unfortunately, if you're picking Camille in the jungle, she doesn't have a lot of tools there that aren't outclassed by Lee Sin's. What she does have going for her, however, is a slightly better late-game thanks to Hextech Ultimatum (her ult) that can have more catastrophic effects on teamfights.
Example build 1
You have to choose between super tanky and super damage-y going from game to game, but in an average Camille outing, I think you can rely on this path.
- The Black Cleaver
- Boots of Swiftness / Mercury's Treads
- Frozen Heart
- Banshee's Veil
- Frozen Mallet
- Dead Man's Plate
When it comes to Camille and bruisers like her, Black Cleaver is love, Black Cleaver is life. Camille loves everything about this item, from the armor-shredding damage to the movement to the Cooldown Reduction. You can augment Camille's tricky movement even further with Boots of Swiftness, but given how Camille doesn't like getting hit by hard CC, Mercury's Treads can mean the difference between dying and being able to hookshot your way out of trouble. After this I've just built standard off-tank stuff, but Frozen Mallet and Dead Man's Plate have their own great benefits with Camille, a champion that likes to look for skirmishes and picks above full-blown teamfights.
There may be more to add to this later, so if something noteworthy arises, I'll post it. I'll continue to play Camille right through to release!
...lol jk, Elementalist Lux is out today
EDIT: Speaking of, this just popped up. -
Here's Camille's voice.
Sounds like Stephanie Sheh. I can't be certain though.

If a Psychic-type pokemon really wanted me as a partner for life, they probably would have hypnotised me into doing so already.

How well do they cook?
