Week 5 Lobby Lab: Three heroes, one item
Buy the same item on a strength, an agility and an intelligence hero, then pool the class's results into one table
25 March 2027
What to bring#
Nothing. Heroes are assigned.
How it runs#
Each student gets three heroes — Sven, Phantom Assassin and Zeus, one per primary attribute — and buys the same item on all three in practice mode, comparing what it does each time.
The item is whichever attribute item week 5 settles on when the course’s facts file lands; until then the tutor names it on the day. Then the class pools its results: what did that item buy on each attribute?
How you know it went well#
You can name which hero the item was worth most on, and the reason is about the exchange rate rather than about one hero being better.
The spec
What the tutor is checking for by the end of the session — not that you understood the drill, but that you did it, in a form somebody else in the room could confirm.
- you tried the same item on three heroes of different primary attributes
- you can say which hero it was worth most on, and point to the exchange rate that made it so
- you can look at an untried hero and infer from its attribute roughly how it plays
