Tips & Tricks
  • The opener is not fixed since you generally will not have the units required to make the board work early. Just play double of the strongest AP carry you can find until you can ideally level to 7 on either 3-5 (if you are low HP) or 4-1 (if you are high HP) to roll for the correct board.
  • Realistically will not hit Loris 3 in most of your games, so focus on Nautilus 3 and Malzahar 3. On level 8, you can play a second Loris 2 if you are able to find 6 copies OR you can play another Warden such as Braum or Ornn or you could play any flex unit such as Taric, Skarner, Fiddle, Senna, etc.
  • Leeching Nucleus > Spitter Spines > Adrenaline Modules for the 2 Void Module on Malzahar
  • If you don’t have a strong AP opener to play around, you might have to lose streak into a 3-5 rolldown which will often result in a bot 4. The comp can stabilize on 3-5 until the end of Stage 4, but it depends on how many upgrades you hit.
  • When you finally start rolling on 7, you will have circumstances where you upgrade Malzahar or Nautilus to 2-star and now only have 1 to place on your board. You should generally roll deep to find the 4th copy so you can keep the Double Trouble effect.

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

    yeah so this is terrible. got gigabis items on malz 3 and standard tank items on naut3 plus loris3 with some leftovers (shred and wound) and lost to pre-thresh 2 way contested shadow isles players in a row and went 6th

  2. unimentil

    It might be intuitive, but could you include the recommended piltover mods here

      mana regen > shield > true dmg i guess

    Just played this build in my promotion game to diamond. Thank you blue <3

  4. mouse ahar

    restart mission should be pretty good maybe +1, since it doesn’t matter what units you play stage 3, and it might even give you bis units

    Just won a game with this on a Ryze portal LOL. Only synergy I had was a warden emblem and nothing else. Plat 1 95LP EUW

    didnt expect it to be good since all it does for malz is give him 30 ap but once i hit him 3 star (pandoras bench) won most of my fights and got 1st. had spike augment, shojin, nashors, and giant slayer + jeweled lotus 3rd augment. i can understand how naut 3/2 and lorus 3/2 frontline is strong with this augment but still dont understand how malz was doing sm damage. won against decent end game boards in diamond 2

      Which void mutation did you have? And did you hit 3 star on malz?

  8. Dennis

    Yea. this comp is bonkers 😀 Went to 8hp but then finally hit everything and just winstreaked to 1st ^^

  9. unimentil

    People on socials have been suggesting crash test dummies if it’s offered and Azir at 9 if you can make it there

    Let’s gooooo I got my first win on this!! Only plat 2 90LP and new players, but it’s so much fun. Loris 3-star was contested so I went 9 with 2 Ornns each holding a TG

  11. Anon

    Tried twice in the last couple of days when hitting double trouble, won both. Performs incredibly well once you hit 3* Malz.

  12. Cool

    Very cool comp, I’ve hit everything and almost went 1st but positioning got me in the last fight lmao

    I just played this into 2 Asols in 16.3 and it is legit broken, easy win

    If you try playing this without the Leeching Nucleus void mutation, you should build gunblade on your 3-star Malzahar. It looks better to itemize a Seraphine 2-star instead of the 2nd Malzahar. If you’re wondering what to pick for a combat augment (ideally on 4-2), choose generically good ones like Exiles, Makeshift Armor, Spirit Link, Soul Awakening, Hold the Line, or Giant and Mighty. Also might be worth considering taking 3 Threes

    Close enough, welcome back set 15 double trouble malzahar

    Just played it, 15 rounds winstreak. lost to riggs with wukong 3 in the end, but damn this shit was busted + no one will contest you on malz and nautilus after bilge nerf. Everyone trying to play asol atm, so dont bother with targon DT and just play this

      what rank?

      1. Mio

        This was in D1, all the voidlings from 2 itemized Malz + void mutiation that heals on main Malz and i gave the second Malz gunblade your frontline never dies. I was honestly really surprised how this shit steamrolled the lobby after 3-5

          if I get this augment I’ll def play this. ty for info!

      you just keep asol open and gg
