Tips & Tricks
- Roll for the 5 Ionia board versions instead of 7 Ionia usually on 4-2. If you are high HP and way ahead, can play 7 Ionia with Path of Enlightened but otherwise try and play around 5 Ionia even on 4-2 rolldown. Flex units include Skarner, Taric, Fiddlesticks, Senna, etc.
- Path of Prosperity (farm gold and AD/AP based on how much gold you farmed) is the best path and should always get played into Ionia if you have an Ionia opener. Heavily angle this line if you have this path.
- Path of Enlightened is also solid, but not as good as Prosperity. Path of Blades can be decent with Yunara and is solid for the Emblem on Aatrox

- 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.
is titans yunara real? seeing it couple times on ladder + tft academy has it as alt build
No idea why the 5 Ionia recommendation is a thing, nobody listen to that, I have pivoted into every single one at least twice and IMMEDIATELY when pivoted into the board the comp just starts freefalling to 8th place, all 3 of the 5 ionia boards are terrible. stay 7 ionia
Lol hate to say it, but you are definitely NOT supposed to do that. In fact, most people are not playing 7 Ionia even on level 8 and are just immediately playing 5 Ionia after their 4-2 rolldown with whatever units they find. You are free to play however you want, but I promise you it’s not 7 Ionia if you are serious about climbing.
this comp is so broken, went 1st twice, did hit lv3 yunara one game and lv3 wukong the next tho, the gold gen is so busted lmao.
Hi GM Blue, i’m really glad for all the work you’ve been doing here. Thank you for mapping this so precisely.
For my contribution: i’m not sure Fishbones positively impacts this comp.
I’ve tested it a lot, and honestly, it destroys the yunara”s focus and possibilities to destroy two carries (front + back) at the same time.
Thank you for everything !
Don’t like it. It got contested in such a weird way including players filling their board with Diana while griefing Ionia.
Can you include this other 5 Ionia board recently being played by junglebook and yby1 https://tftflow.com/team-builder/ed57661a
Added, thanks. Definitely one of the best of the 5 Ionia boards currently, should have been on site already so appreciate you pointing out the oversight
When you get to level 9 with yunara 2 and kindred 2. do you want the items on yunara or kindred? if you only have 1 set of backline items. i assume yunara since its 5 ionia
any answers?
Path of “Generosity” in the team notes should be “Prosperity,” right?
path of blade looks broken strong
wow i had darkin bow/flicker/kraken on Yunara. EZ dub. Still struggling to look for good carry until I find Yunara
Jhin 2 can usually hold out to yunara
gambler’s blade for yunara is great too
I had good success with Eternal Pact on 3* Ahri – Path of Transcendence
