Tips & Tricks

The “core” units in non-reroll are 6 sorcerers (Zyra > Lux) and Elise. From there, your fill choices from strongest to weakest are: 6-costs > 4 Form Swapper > Mordekaiser > Morgana > Cassiopeia = Darius. You can drop to 4 Sorcerer if you hit many strong fill units (e.g: 4 Form Swapper + 6 Costs).
For Emissary Sorcerer variation, you can either play reroll or play fast 8. Choice depends on econ and number of Swain / Nami. If you play fast 8, you can play around Zoe carry until you find LeBlanc. Once you have LeBlanc, carry Swain + LeBlanc (even if Swain is 2 starred).
Solo frontline Swain is strong if you can get good items + anomaly. Ideally build 2 Gargoyle + Crownguard or 3 Gargoyle. Scuttle Familiar by far best anomaly due to high resistances from solo frontline Gargoyles
LeBlanc doesn’t need a mana item – you can build full AP / AS due to her mana lock. Shojin still looks good overall, but not necessary like it is with most AP casters.
Miss LeBlanc? FF go next.
While Calling Card on Nami is a guaranteed Sorcerer emblem, you’ll generally be better off going for an anomaly on carry or tank after 8 Sorcerer was removed.
Before you hit a 6-cost, your last slot can be Mordekaiser, Jayce, Darius, a Bruiser, or a 2nd Zoe / LeBlanc / Swain
Sorcerer Emblem is not worth taking as an augment after they removed 8 Sorcerer.

Economy Strategy

Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
Level 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.
Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
Level to 7.
Level 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.
If 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.
If 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.
If 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.
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.
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.
