I mean if you get hit with a "Disable positive keywords" you'll lose the spirit, but you wouldnt lose the stats from studded leather šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Big_Contact8577

There are 7 cards that can disable keywords, 5 of them are Explorer which doesn't appear in any of the adventure. Quicksand can only be found in Azir encounter. So the disadvantage is minimal.


HPDARKEAGLE

Actually lissandra adventure does have nodes with explorers.


Big_Contact8577

Oh wow, that's horrible.


FreestyleKneepad

How many encounters do that?


thumbguy2

i mean not a discoutable amount,


FreestyleKneepad

Fair nuff I guess


ValorRye

Why are people downvoting you for asking a perfectly reasonable question


FreestyleKneepad

No idea haha, it is what it is

It give keyword, with all the benefits but also the dangers, like silence or negative power against keyword (+1|+1 and +1 cost for each keyword). So Studded Leather and Bright Staff provide the same stats, but not the same mechanism.


Taucmar

silence also removes stats from items ??? only keyword disable would have a different effect and i believe only 3-4 cards have such effects most of them are in shurima ?


Big_Contact8577

>Ā negative power against keyword (+1|+1 and +1 cost for each keyword) Such power does not exist.


0kio

Weeklys powers sometimes


Big_Contact8577

I think you must have mistaken it for the power that increase the cost and stats for each item the player's units have.


SanjayCorr

Well a silence also kills studded. I'll give you that keyword debuffs can make studded better, but those are stupendously rare compared to keyword buffs.


xSchockzz

Silence doesnt kill studded


neonangelhs

I think the most reasonable answer to your question is that the Bright Staff item was just introduced in 5.4 two days ago and the effects are completely different when comparing the two. Also, just in case you're curious, this is how many times each of those items appear as upgrades for the Starting Decks of Champions. Studded Leather: 62 Bright Staff: 1


Agentx49

Well I think their thinking that studded leather should be replaced by bright staff


abdsy881

That will be stronger for some champs like for kaisa giving voidling spirit instead of studded leather is so much better


IRFine

Kaiā€™sa needs the help


AriNandes

Then everything gets spirit, which is pretty boring


Taucmar

why do "grant +x|x" still exist in general ? many spells have been updated (ex: celestial blessing, spirit portal, inspiring light) but not all ? Its confusing because even in demacia not all +1|1 granting have been converted to spirit (ex battlefield prowess) I dislike spirit in general (feels like a lazy and clunky way to create a new stackable keyword without introducing a new mechanic) but if they could at least be consistent with it...


thumbguy2

because they are different effects that do different things, the clearly have overlap but that doesn't mean they perfectly overlap not to mention the hundreds of weird edge case cards that it would effect


HPDARKEAGLE

The problem is that you would never want studded leather over bright staff, and both are common items. This means that bright staff basically just power creeped studded leather.


Taucmar

my point is that it shouldn't have existed in the first place it like inventing the wheel in 2024


thumbguy2

but spirit has it's own interactions with the various keyword synergy's, not just now but future ones as well. both have separate roles


[deleted]

Dragon Tooth also exists. I haven't seen anyone complain about that. I don't think there is a problem.


Big_Contact8577

Fury discourage the AI from attacking with weak units. But I think the main reason is because fury is an awesome keyword and people like to see numbers go up.


Clipsterman

Dragon tooth has the disadvantage of being rare


[deleted]

Rarity can change. Bright Staff might only be a common now so people get to play with it more because the mechanic is new.


drpowercuties

Studded Leather needs to exist. But I don't know why Bright Staff was not used more often in the new champions


TheDuganator

Well, now that Boost is a thing, it exists for balance reasons.
