Tips & Tricks
- Generally play from econ augment that makes Bard unlock cheaper. Item augments are high value as it is otherwise difficult to itemize Neeko, Aphelios, Bard, and Nidalee.
- Thief’s Gloves (TG) are high priority slam since it helps you itemize all your units as you can TG Nidalee and focus on fully itemizing Neeko, Aphelios, and Bard. Eventually can build Nidalee items and move the TG to Vi 3 as well.
- The endgame board is relatively flexible currently. There are 5 “core” units (Neeko, Vi, Aphelios, Bard, Nidalee). Then splash a Piltover unit (usually Loris). Arcanist is usually Swain, but can be Lux (or Sylas from extreme high roll). Nautilus helps pair Swain and Loris, but can play Braum.

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. Roll until stable. “Stable” changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally speaking it involves 2-starring your desired 2-cost carry and a tank with items. Major divergence between elos: The lower your elo, the less upgrades you need to be “stable” and thus lower elo players should generally roll less than high elo players on 3-2.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- Once you reach 50g (it might be later than 3-5), start slow rolling down to ~52g each turn. Try to avoid rolling to exactly 50g as any unit you want to buy in shop will put you below 50g.
- If you are high HP relative to the lobby, continue slow rolling to 52g each turn. If you are lower HP, you should roll to hit your first 2-cost 3 star on 4-1 or 4-2. If you have to roll below 30g, your placement is usually capped at 3rd or 4th.
- If you are still high HP (70+), you can continue to slow roll. Otherwise, in the majority of cases, you should roll deep for your 3-stars here. If your HP is low, you can even go to 0 gold looking for your 3-stars. If you have your 3-stars and can afford to level to 7 with 10g+, do so.
- Level to 7 if you haven’t already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.
