Transcripts

00:00

so valerant just released club's reveal

00:01

trailer earlier there was a gameplay

00:02

League which then prompted them to just

00:03

release this entire video so I'm going

00:05

to try to break this down and gather

00:06

what we know so far about these

00:07

abilities cuz you can see right off the

00:08

bat here this is going to be Clos Smoke

00:10

menu and from their perspective it's

00:12

going to look very similar to a

00:13

brimstone where you just see the big map

00:15

over the top you can click the most

00:16

wherever you want but you can see there

00:17

is like a teammate or an enemy

00:19

perspective where clove will actually

00:20

have the UI out in front of them it also

00:22

does look like you can place two of

00:23

these smokes at the time as you can

00:25

briefly see here in this clip over

00:27

looking CT and Market in a sent that do

00:29

seem to be placed at the same time now

00:30

this ability that CL throws I'm a bit

00:32

unsure about what it does and it seems

00:33

to have very similar trajectory to a

00:35

harbor curve you see there bounces off

00:37

the wall on then explodes midair so

00:39

before it even bounces or lands a second

00:41

time but look at that killoy it seems to

00:42

give a Decay effect you can see right

00:44

there KY appears to be decayed of course

00:45

we have no idea how much the K do is

00:47

going to give yet but yeah you can see

00:49

that cability I believe that's the

00:51

cability for clove it's going to be a

00:52

grenade you bounce it off a wall then

00:53

only explode midair or explode after a

00:55

short amount of time after bouncing and

00:57

Decay you maybe something else here's

00:59

where things get crazy take a look right

01:00

here rain is going to kill clove clove

01:02

then not only is able to just right pop

01:05

back up come back to life but they also

01:06

get a chance it looks like some sort of

01:08

rain of dismiss where they just

01:10

completely unable to be shot or at least

01:11

it looks like that you can see where

01:13

they're going but you can't shoot them

01:14

allowing cl to get to safety also I want

01:16

to point out when clove kills the omen

01:18

in Market here they point out their

01:19

finger and I believe this is activating

01:21

their St ability but I don't actually

01:23

know what this does yet from what I can

01:25

tell so far it could be similar to ISO

01:26

where you know you activate you get a

01:28

kill and then it does something like you

01:30

get a shield I think it's going to be

01:31

something similar here where you get a

01:32

kill and then it Buffs you somehow cuz

01:34

you can see they kill Omen get this buff

01:36

and then the sides of the screen have

01:37

this effect on them I think that's the

01:39

actual gameplay rather than the video as

01:40

well because then those kills on the Ren

01:42

and raise I can't tell what's better

01:43

about them but clove does should should

01:46

at least have some sort of buff there

01:48

and then also again watch here clove can

01:49

use smokes when they're dead because

01:51

clove dies and then we swap somehow swap

01:53

to the fade PV and then I guess while

01:55

spectating a fade Cliff can throw smoke

01:58

so while they're dead hards know exactly

02:00

how it's going to work but you can see

02:01

that is what the trailer is depicting

02:03

there here's another look at that decay

02:04

bomb I think it's called metal you can

02:06

see here because it hits two people the

02:07

Stinger very very quickly it's able to

02:08

kill them so here when clove kills Astro

02:10

then does the thing with a finger I

02:11

believe again activating her c i could

02:13

be completely wrong here but to me it

02:15

almost looks like they dealing double

02:16

damage just because of how quickly they

02:17

kill with the frenzy I could be

02:19

completely wrong keep that in mind to me

02:20

that looks like what's happening here

02:21

with the SE ability of clove cuz I just

02:23

can't tell yet what it actually does you

02:25

get a kill you press C you become

02:27

stronger or something I just can't tell

02:29

yet all almost forgot in the final clip

02:31

of the video it looks like it's going to

02:32

be similar to ISO Shield I guess you can

02:34

see CL gets two kills presses C and then

02:37

the raal does not hit clove at least

02:39

that's what that clip is showing me

02:40

right there that razal probably should

02:42

have hit we all know razal isn't that

02:44

consistent but it seems like it's trying

02:45

to show us hey clove can somehow survive

02:47

and just tank an entire raal so that is

02:49

an early breakdown of cl's reveal

02:51

trailer hopefully later today in a few

02:52

hours we should get a better look at

02:54

their abilities with actual descriptions

02:56

and stuff I'll be able to explain them

02:57

much more clearly that's just an early

02:59

video because the this trailer got

03:00

leaked

03:04

early
