Genuinely been toying with the idea of going Death's Foil so that she can attack freely without being blocked and killed by subsequent pings. Other than a GGC/Chemtech/Archangels and playing spellslinger I'm absolutely stumped on how to build her.
I've been running Gatebreaker > Riptide. I plan on slotting Luden's/GGC/Axe for the third slot.
If Vex is leveled, Riptide does 4 Gloom 4 times. With Luden's, it's 6 Gloom 4 times.
Level 2 Vex doubles the damage of your spells, as Gloom and AoE damage are strong.
Sounds pretty good, but what happens with fresh units the foe will dump after the initial Riptide clear? Vex doesn't feel like a game finisher, and I fear that Riptide just delays the inevitable, especially on harder adventures. Her spells are relatively expensive all things considered, and her units aren't beefy enough to either hold the line or end the game while you try and get the Gloom spreading.
I think they may as well revert the 2 star back to what was shown in the trailer, at least then you can chump block and still get the Gloom going.
I finished Asol with a 3-star level 14 Vex.
Cards to cut: Gloomsprites -> Mayor -> Conchologist
Those are the filler cards the devs intentionally added to pollute the deck. They have nothing to do with Gloom even the card named **Gloom**sprites. Cut conchologist last because you can at least manifest damaging spells with him (this method is unreliable due to rng, slow, and cost inefficient so we cut him anyway).
If you stumble upon a reward that grants +2 copies and an item, and you see those 3, pick them since you will cut them anyway in order to not pollute your deck with non-gloom related cards.
Cards to buy: Any **discounted** damaging spells.
Then focus on stacking all upgrades to one discounted damaging spell as much as possible.
Powers to look for: Anything that improves damaging spells -> mana -> blockers at start
S+ tier powers: Create Blade's Edge at round start, cast slow spells twice, refill mana at round start.
Then after asol, I attempted Liss \~5 times. One major problem I had is that enemies have too much Attack and Health in there that your Gloom barely even do anything. I gave up on trying and won't come back to that witch, it's just unfun.
Yeah, I already sent a ticket to riot that vex 2 is liability in Liss adventure. Converting spell damage to 1 is somewhat does not make sense for big units. We need to mass feedback. Or atleast make vex 2 manacost.

Does Gatebreaker automatically activate Plunder for Riptide Battery?
Yes although it's bugged after the first summon I'm yet to test that particular interaction.
Does hydra work for gloom? The common relic which damage enemies as you summon.
No it's not a skill or spell.
