Tips & Tricks
- THIS IS A MALPHITE COMP. Prioritize Malphite items over all else early game. The best spots to play this from are ones where you have 2 full items on Malphite 2-1. Chain should almost always be your first carousel prio.
- All chain items are good on Malphite as his ability scales with armor and his damage is not negligible
- This comp can use many items and many artifacts, so generally item augments are good picks
- For the Crew, you should generally play it like 1-cost reroll until you hit a 3-star. If you hit both 1-costs before level 6, then you can level to 6. Roll on 6 all the way until you 3-star Malphite, Sivir, Shen, and Ziggs. You will reach level 7 through rolling. Only push levels after hitting.
- Late game Twisted Fate can use many items, including both AD and AP. The most important items for Twisted Fate are attack speed items — most bow items are good on him.
- In an ideal world, you use Sky Piercer and build full damage items instead of Void Staff + LW. Late game can get Sky Piercer on Twisted Fate who applies it the best. If you must slam Void / LW earlier for tempo, consider a different Power Up.

Economy Strategy
- Do not spend gold on leveling this stage. If you have 2-stars and a good item, you can consider playing to win some rounds. Otherwise lose streak is common for stage 2.
- Roll to 33 gold, buying any unit that will be part of the level 4 or 5 board. You can also buy units that will be part of the level 6+ board, but you can sell those if your bench fills and you need to buy other units. Rolling to 33 gold is advisable because it allows you to save back up to 50g by 3-5.
- Do not level if you haven’t hit your 3-star 1-costs yet. If you have your 3-stars, you generally should still stay level 5 if you can win or if leveling to 6 would put you below 20g. Try to get above 40g this round.
- Ideally above 50g, level 5 at this point or level 6 with 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, roll to ~52g each turn. You don’t want to roll to perfect 50g as any units you buy in shop will put you below 50g. If you have 8+ copies of an itemized 1-cost, you can roll to 40g or 30g every round instead. Level to 6 once you hit your 3-stars.
- If you haven’t hit your 3-stars yet, you must roll until you hit them. You should level to 6 after hitting. In some rare games, you will miss or spend so much gold you can never catch up. These games will usually result in bottom 4 placements.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above ~20g. Otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7.
- Level to 8 if you are in bottom half of lobby HP and are losing rounds. If you are higher HP and feel stable, you can wait until next turn.
- Level to 8 if you haven’t already. Roll for any remaining units necessary for the comp. If stable, you can try to go 9. Most games you will end on level 8.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
Worth the wait has to be at least one tier higher, same for build a bud
Ive just had a game where I hit build a bud malphite and I was wondering what the optimal way was to go from there. Do you level before rolling since odds never drop? Or do you just play normal and take the 1xp per reroll as a nice bonus. It feels like such a weird choice since u get more out of ur rerolls with the added XP but to get more than a fourth you also really want to level since its TF or bust
Just reroll normally until ziggs shen sivir 3, you will level naturally with the 1 crew bonus
Worth mentioning, the Cyclone Rush Power Up can be enough to winout vs High Burst comps or cheese a fight, can disable up to 2 Opposite Side hex by putting it on Sivir, Ziggs, TF
Space Camp is so insane for this comp
The fact that Sivir can (and does) miss with her ability, which already has a slow cast time, and DOESN’T get any sort of refund like Lucian does, makes this comp so much worse.
I have like 5 first places on this in the last couple days in plat elo. Its really strong as soon as you get 3 star ziggs or early items for malphite and stand alone. The minute you get a few three stars you feel unbeatable imo.
Hustler is probably the best augment if you can get it at the start of the game.
I think Ziggs better with Double Strike, Storm Bender, or Surge than Critical Threat
Shimmerscale Essence is Insane triple S tier, Gamblers on Ziggs with the Shadow Clone, ended the game printed 140 Gold and Twisted Fate 3
Preparation should bump this up a tier atleast
Ramping Rage is kinda trash if your malphite not strong enough for tank. Shadow Clone is so much better, double shiv can help you survive in top 4 even with 2 Star Zigg
Agreed that Shadow Clone is better – updated.
I had a game with the crew where I three-starred most of my crew units, except for ziggs and tf. Had decent items onto malphite and ziggs, that game was terrible even when i had strategist emblems, I dont think this comp will be able to compete with other comps in the patch due to the damage of the crew ship damage being lowered. Maybe its because i dont have that many items onto the comps but i think even if i have, i wouldnt be able to out damage the others comps.
You need ziggs 3, thats just an understatement.
Frost touch has been disabled, any changes to power ups?
I hit tf on carousel with 13 life. Gave him radiant guinsos’s with strategist emblem on him. Eventually hit all The crew units 3 stars except tf. Let me tell you I went on a 15 wins streak and eventually won the game xd.
PS I had (2) frost touch.
PSII Just get to 9 find tf ziggs and be Insanely strong.
Don’t you want tanks in the front two row so they get the strategist shield instead of the damage amp?
Yes — Updated, thanks for pointing out.
Hit Statikk shiv, had Ziggs, Malph and Sivir fully optimized, one item on Shen and 3*. It felt REALLY bad, I had to roll very deep. Ended up level 7 with a fourth. I would not play this unless it’s absolutely needed on 15.2
Still awful
with thorn plated armor do we go 3 bramble vests on malphite?
pandora’s bench is essentially win-con for this comp as it allows you to 3 star tf without having to be 9+ level and get your early 3 stars even earlier. pandora’s bench makes this comp op imo pls include in strong conditions.
Don’t go this shit tier comp unless you get 2 star sivir/malphite/shen on 2-1 or build a bud
