Tips

Core units are Aphelios + Diana + Sentinel + Mama Beak. Red Buff is BIS Aphelios but you can also play Rageblade build. Play Scuttlecrab + Rakan over Brambleback if no melee items. Can duo carry Zyra or Morgana if extra AP items.

Stage 2

Open with a strong win streak AD tempo around Rapidfires. BIS is somewhat fake in this comp so slam aggressively to win.

Stage 3

Comp can use many items so take item augment if you don't have one yet. Mama Beak can be a strong carry here if you have Riftbeasts online.

Stage 4

Level to 8 and roll heavily for Aphelios and the 4 costs. Only push for 9 once you have almost all your 4 costs upgraded.

Economy plan · 3-Cost Reroll

  1. 2-1Level to 4 if strong.
  2. 2-5Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
  3. 3-2Level to 6, unless it places you below 30g.
  4. 3-5Stay level 6, unless you can stay above 50g on 7 or you are below 40 HP and can stay above 30g on 7.
Show full plan
  1. 4-1Level to 7, roll until board mostly upgraded. Never go below 10g even if missing tank or carry.
  2. 4-2Build up to 50g, slow roll to 50g until 5-1.
  3. 4-5If below ~25 HP, sometimes you must roll until you hit here. Not ideal.
  4. 5-1Roll until you hit 3-star carry and tank. Can go to 0g. Only greed gold if you are above ~60 HP.
  5. 5-2If you hit, you can level to 8. Otherwise stay 7. Holds true for every round for the rest of the game.
