Tips & Tricks
- Ideally play from Path of Spirits as both Yasuo and Ahri cast frequently
- For the level 7 board, can either play 7 Ionia or 6 Ionia + Neeko. Not sure which is better currently
- Ionia Emblem makes the Level 6 and Level 7 boards much better, but doesn’t do much for the Level 8 board which limits how impactful it is

Economy Strategy
- This is an uncommon econ strategy. Sometimes there are zero comps in the meta that use it.
- 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.
- Unlike 2-cost reroll, you generally cannot afford to dip below 50g this stage. If you have to due to HP, you’re likely going to end up in a bottom 4 placement. Slow roll to ~53g this stage, picking up your 2-costs and 3-costs.
- In some metas, this econ strategy levels to 7 here and slow rolls at 50g until stage 5. If you have high HP, you can defer going level 7 until 4-5.
- Level to 7 if you didn’t on 4-2 and continue to slow roll above 50g.
- Roll to 0g, trying to hit your key 2 and 3-cost 3 stars. You’ll want your carry and tank upgraded at a minimum.
- From this point onward, attempt to level to 8 and add any key remaining units to your board.




Did this with Path of Transcendent (magic damage and bonus from 3*). Also had Darkin scythe on Yasuo that you need to add to the Items here =D Also had Seraphim’s Staff and Ahri from orb. Finished 3rd
this is probably not s tier even with dawncore. move down to a or b. also, 7 ionia with path of spirits is not worth given that the ad/ap stack remains consistent across 3-5-7 ionia. for that alone, it’s worth considering dropping down to 3 ionia (even on lvl 8) for better quality units
I hit the comp’s requirements at 5-2 and now I don’t know how to cap it.
i feel like a level 10 comp probably looks something like sub in xin, add aatrox + ornn?
i had a game with 3 emblem (iona, bruiser, arcanist) by replacing shen by swain and thus having 4 arcanist i still only manage to top 3
Okay this comp is disgusting. I’m forcing it every game and always getting top 3. Its insanely versatile because of items – you can transition into diana, arcanists on 3-2 rolldown if contested/unlucky. It’s really easy to force because you can build either ad or ap items so it doesn’t matter what your starting hand is. It works with any path (the xp one is the worst but helps with auto-leveling/late game spiking).
Deadlier caps is broken with this comp. I beat fully capped void board with BIS Nashor 2 (didn’t even have Sett 2). Ahri just oneshot him. Definitely OP tier. Path of Prosperous and Jeweled Lotus definitely helped but I did not even have her BIS items.

Ahri with deadlier caps is pretty fire got it early and won.
would be worth holding for neeko 3 star too?
not ionia, no. if kennen is uncontested and u get lucky go for him instead.
I tried this with double trouble – drop down to 5 Ionia and replace 2 with an extra Ahri and Yas – was really good!
With path of spirits too, having two Yasuo/Ahris means it stacks up much faster than the other Ionians.
