Tips

The "Main" board is the most common end board, but you can play around Ahri, Ezreal, or even Nidalee if you struggle to hit the standard board. 2 Flora Fatalis is always ideal so you can get healing procs on Malphite. Antiheal items are not necessary thanks to Inferno units This comp has high winout potential, but requires itemized Kennen to winout. If you hit Kennen on Level 8, immediately replace Shen. The reason item augments are so good in this line is because in an ideal world, you itemize Malphite + Soraka + Zyra + Kennen in the end game. Zyra is a better carry than Soraka. Prioritize itemizing her over Soraka. In general, Soraka is the weakest of the AP item holders for this line. She's better at 2-star than 1-star carries, but otherwise generally itemize her last. Seraphim's Staff augment is very strong if you can get 2 Archangel's on Zyra.

Stage 2

Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.

Stage 3

Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.

Stage 4

Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.

Economy plan · Fast 8

  1. 2-1Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
  2. 2-5Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
  3. 3-1Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
  4. 3-2Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
Show full plan
  1. 3-5Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
  2. 4-1Level to 7.
  3. 4-2Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
  4. 4-5If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
  5. 5-1If you are low HP and haven't 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
  6. 5-2If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can't afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
  7. 5-5+Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
  8. 6-2+For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.
