How each mode went

Each mode is graded its own way, so compare a mode with itself on other days, not with the other modes.

Mode	Graded as	Solved	Out of time	Players
Stat Check	scored per card	66%	9%	about 35
Match Grid	whole board or nothing	81%	0%	about 20
Order Forge	exact order or nothing	6%	2%	about 50
Quiz	one answer per question	55%	2%	about 65
Reconstruct	exact recipe or nothing	57%	0%	about 35
Chronoscope	exact checkpoint or nothing	18%	5%	about 60

How these numbers are made

Only official first attempts count: bot opponents, replays, owner takes and test runs are excluded, and each player counts once per question.
Every community number comes from at least 20 players; player counts are rounded.
Each mode is graded differently, so mode rates are not comparable with each other.

4 ideas from the October 28 Daily

The clearest, most varied lessons from the day, each one an idea you can reuse in your own games. The complete list of questions follows after them.

Idea 1

Wave XP checkpoints

Every minion wave gives a fixed amount of experience to the champions who share it, so a laner who takes every minion reaches each early level on a predictable wave rather than at a set minute. Cannon minions are worth more experience than the others, which is why some level-ups line up with cannon waves.

Cumulative XP (solo lane): running total against threshold

Bars show the running total of cumulative xp (solo lane) (XP) after each step; the number in brackets is what that step adds. Dashed lines mark the thresholds.

Crossing step: Wave 9 (4:30)

Cumulative XP (solo lane) by step
Step	Adds	Running total
Wave 1 (0:30)	279	279
Wave 2 (1:00)	279	558
Wave 3 (1:30)	354	912
Wave 4 (2:00)	279	1,191
Wave 5 (2:30)	279	1,470
Wave 6 (3:00)	354	1,824
Wave 7 (3:30)	279	2,103
Wave 8 (4:00)	279	2,382
Wave 9 (4:30) (answer)	354	2,736
Wave 10 (5:00)	279	3,015

Cumulative XP (solo lane): Wave 9 (4:30) reaches 2,736 XP, crossing Level 6 at 2,400 XP.

On this day's Daily

Find the first wave where a solo laner reaches Level 6.

Answer: Wave 9 (4:30) · cannon

A solo laner reaches Level 6 at Wave 9 (4:30) · cannon: 2736 XP, threshold 2400 XP; Level 6 (1st melee in wave). The wave before, Wave 8 (4:00), is Level 5 with 2382 XP.

Worked out from the recorded question data.

Remember: Track levels by waves, not minutes, and expect the bigger jumps when a cannon wave arrives.

Idea 2

Compare champion stats

Base stats are what a champion has before items, runes and other bonuses are added. Two champions can differ clearly in a stat such as health, armor or attack range, and those differences shape how each one trades in lane.

16	54.05	48.82
17	56.3	50.44
18	58.6	52.1

Base magic resist at level 1: Rell 28, Renata 30. Renata is the answer (higher wins, difference 2).

On this day's Daily

At level 1, which champion has more base magic resist: Rell or Renata?

Answer: Renata

Rell has 28 and Renata has 30 base magic resist at level 1, so Renata is higher.

Remember: Compare base stats at the level the question gives, before any items or runes.

Idea 3
Missing recipe component
A recipe lists the components an item is built from. When some components are already in your inventory, the item's recipe tells you exactly which one is still missing.

Cloth Armor
Cost 300 gold
Given
Glowing Mote
Cost 250 gold
Answer
Sapphire Crystal
Cost 300 gold
Given
Combine cost50 gold
Glacial Buckler costs 900 gold; components: Cloth Armor (300), Glowing Mote (250) is the answer, Sapphire Crystal (300); combine cost 50.
On this day's Daily
Glacial Buckler builds from Cloth Armor and Sapphire Crystal. Which component completes the recipe?
Answer: Glowing Mote
Glacial Buckler builds from Cloth Armor, Glowing Mote, and Sapphire Crystal. The missing component here is Glowing Mote.
Remember: Match what you hold against the recipe, because what is not in the recipe cannot be the missing piece.
Idea 4
Cooldown under items
An ability's cooldown at a given moment depends on its rank and on the haste you have at that point of the build. The rank sets the base cooldown, and ability haste then shortens it with diminishing returns rather than a flat subtraction.

Sona R at rank 3: 100 s base cooldown with 30 ability haste becomes 76.9 s.
On this day's Daily
What is the cooldown of Sona R - Crescendo at level 16 with rank 3 R and Moonstone Renewer and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Ardent Censer?
Answer: 76.9 seconds
Sona R - Crescendo has a base cooldown of 100 seconds at rank 3. Moonstone Renewer and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Ardent Censer grant 30 Ability Haste from canonical item stats, and Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 100 seconds x 100 / (100 + 30) = 76.9 seconds.
1. 100 × 100 / (100 + 30) = 76.9 s
Remember: Read the rank and the build state first, then apply haste to that rank's base cooldown.

(8 questions)

Ability cost by rank · question 1How much mana does Sivir Q - Boomerang Blade cost at rank 3?Answer: 65
Lesson 1
Ability cost by rank
The idea
An ability's resource cost is set per rank, just like its cooldown, and it can change from one rank to the next. Knowing what a cast costs lets you judge how many casts your resource bar can afford.
The question as asked
How much mana does Sivir Q - Boomerang Blade cost at rank 3?
A.70
B.60
C.65(correct answer)
D.75
The explanation
Sivir Q - Boomerang Blade costs 65 mana at rank 3 (55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 across its ranks).
Remember: Resource cost is tied to the ability's rank, so recall the cost for the rank in the question.

Minion XP and levels · question 2After clearing wave 12 in a duo lane with no missed XP, are you level 6 yet?Answer: No
Lesson 2
Minion XP and levels
The idea
Experience from minion waves arrives in a fixed order, so a champion reaches each early level at a particular wave. Which wave that is can depend on how many champions share the lane's experience, which is why a level breakpoint is a fact about the wave and the lane, not about the clock.
The question as asked
After clearing wave 12 in a duo lane with no missed XP, are you level 6 yet?
A.Yes
B.No(correct answer)
The explanation
Assuming no XP is missed, a duo lane reaches level 6 in wave 13 (6:30). Wave 12 is before that, so not yet.
Remember: Learn which wave brings each early level for your lane setup, and plan your trades around it.

Cooldown under items · question 4Nilah R - Apotheosis has a rank 1 cooldown of 110 seconds. With Trinity Force, what is its cooldown?Answer: 95.7 seconds
Lesson 4
Cooldown under items
The idea
An ability's cooldown at a given moment depends on its rank and on the haste you have at that point of the build. The rank sets the base cooldown, and ability haste then shortens it with diminishing returns rather than a flat subtraction.

Nilah R - Apotheosis has a rank 1 cooldown of 110 seconds. With Trinity Force, what is its cooldown?
A.95.7 seconds(correct answer)
B.110 seconds
C.88 seconds
D.82.6 seconds
The explanation
Trinity Force grant 15 Ability Haste from canonical item stats. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 110 seconds x 100 / (100 + 15) = 95.7 seconds.
110 × 100 / (100 + 15) = 95.7 s
Why not 82.6 seconds? The cooldown at rank 2, not the rank asked.

Cooldown under items · question 14Talon R - Shadow Assault has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Umbral Glaive, what is its cooldown?Answer: 87 seconds
Lesson 14
Cooldown under items
The idea
Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.
The question as asked
Talon R - Shadow Assault has a rank 1 cooldown of 100 seconds. With Umbral Glaive, what is its cooldown?
A.87 seconds(correct answer)
B.80 seconds
C.69.6 seconds
D.85 seconds
The explanation
Talon R - Shadow Assault has a cooldown of 100 seconds at rank 1. Umbral Glaive grants 15 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 15 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 100 seconds x 100 / (100 + 15) = 87 seconds.
100 × 100 / (100 + 15) = 87 s
Why not 85 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.

Cooldown under items · question 18What is the cooldown of Sona R - Crescendo at level 16 with rank 3 R and Moonstone Renewer and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Ardent Censer?Answer: 76.9 seconds
Lesson 18
Cooldown under items
The idea
An ability's cooldown at a given moment depends on its rank and on the haste you have at that point of the build. The rank sets the base cooldown, and ability haste then shortens it with diminishing returns rather than a flat subtraction.
The question as asked
What is the cooldown of Sona R - Crescendo at level 16 with rank 3 R and Moonstone Renewer and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Ardent Censer?
A.69 seconds
B.76.9 seconds(correct answer)
C.100 seconds
D.92.3 seconds
The explanation
Sona R - Crescendo has a base cooldown of 100 seconds at rank 3. Moonstone Renewer and Ionian Boots of Lucidity and Ardent Censer grant 30 Ability Haste from canonical item stats, and Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 100 seconds x 100 / (100 + 30) = 76.9 seconds.
100 × 100 / (100 + 30) = 76.9 s
Why not 92.3 seconds? The cooldown at rank 2, not the rank asked.

Cooldown under items · question 24Twisted Fate R - Destiny has a rank 2 cooldown of 140 seconds. With Rod of Ages and Lich Bane, what is its cooldown?Answer: 127.3 seconds
Lesson 24

Ability haste shortens cooldowns, but not by subtracting seconds. The base cooldown is scaled by one hundred divided by one hundred plus your total haste, so every extra point of haste removes a little less time than the one before. Haste from an item can also be limited to certain ability slots, so which slots an item's haste applies to matters as much as how much it gives.

A.116.7 seconds
B.126 seconds
C.127.3 seconds(correct answer)
D.154.5 seconds
The explanation
Twisted Fate R - Destiny has a cooldown of 140 seconds at rank 2. Rod of Ages grants no Ability Haste to this ability; Lich Bane grants 10 Ability Haste, so this ability uses 10 haste in total. Ability Haste divides the cooldown: 140 seconds x 100 / (100 + 10) = 127.3 seconds.
140 × 100 / (100 + 10) = 127.3 s
Why not 116.7 seconds? The cooldown with a different first item.
Why not 126 seconds? Reads ability haste as a percentage cut instead of dividing the cooldown.
