Tips & Tricks
  • You can only play this comp if you unlock Bard, which requires rolling before the Stage 2 carousel. Augments that help you roll before carousel like Trade Sector are particularly valuable as they allow you to unlock him without giving up much econ
  • Mess Hall is only good if you are itemizing Aphelios
  • Bruiser Emblem allows you to play 6 Bruiser + Aphelios + Bard + Sett on level 8 which is convenient, but is not as impactful once you get to 9

Economy Strategy
  1. Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
  2. Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
  3. 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.
  4. After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Level to 7 if you haven’t already.
  9. Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
  10. Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.

    You should include hefty rerolls as A tier condition

  2. unimentil

    I think decently of the Seraphim’s Staff if you have archangel slam 2-1. With the augment, 2 archangels on bard gives him 4 mana regen at the start of combat if you pair them with another ap item like Void Staff or Jeweled Gauntlet. Before you get the 3rd bard item it’s still quite good because you get the bonus mana regen 5 seconds into the fight. With the bonus mana regen he only needs 3 autos to cast again

    lowkey good if u hit sion 2 early and win streak

  4. Anonymous

    ‘Alt Build 2’ for Sion is the same as his ‘Current’ build.

  5. Anonymous

    in comps like these, should we focus on itemizing 1 carry and tank, or 2 carries and later itemize tank with the leftovers?

  6. Anonymous

    Talisman shouldn’t be OP. Zilean exists.

  7. Thanks for your great website!

    How does 2-Roll work? I get to level6 and than do I roll until zero Gold? Or to keep economy, I only roll 10 gold down and wait for income next round? and repeat it with 10gold again and again? Could you write a short guide on this please? Sorry, I am a new player and would like to try it out

    1. Anonymous

      the econ guide is there: economy strategy 🙂

    2. Lei

      you roll on level 6 ideally while your gold is above 50😁

    Shouldn’t Spirit Link be a +1 for this one?

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Yes, might even be +2 but added it at +1 to be safe until I see some games with it. Thanks!

    it works pretty good with heavy is the crown as well

    hefty rolls is REALLY strong with this comp

    Wood Axiom should be +1 tier probably

      wood axiom is bugged rn and the 15% disappears at the start of combat

    Current and Alt Build 2 on Sion are the same thing.

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      It’s not actually the same — Alt Build 2 is Radiant Spirit Visage rather than normal craftable Spirit Visage. Why do they look the exact same? Because Riot recently changed how they handled Radiant and Artifact images. They used to provide the special framing in the image for the item. Now they don’t and instead programmatically add the frame based on item type. I haven’t coded the logic to do the same yet, especially since it is only done for newer items. Will have to get around to it at some point.

    Hefty Rolls seemed to work really well with this comp for me!

  14. Anonymous

    for 4* sion sunfire isnt necessary to get 4k+ bonus passive health, if you get worth the wait this comp is pretty nice

  15. Anonymous

    hellfire hatchet looks pretty good on the stats, but not on slayers or bel veth. Probably better to go bruisers and itemize voli instead of going slayers when getting this artifact.

  16. Jonathan

    crown of demacia pretty good with sion

  17. random

    +1 tier condition “heart of steel” so you gain a steadfast but you are not telling who you should use that steadfast wow

  18. Dark Lynx

    There are some obvious cases where this comp needs to be changed a bit:
    1) Caretaker’s Ally Sion or Worth The Wait II Sion
    2) Talisman Of Ascension, The Darkin Ages or Radiant Spirit Visage after the round 2-3 (as Bard can’t be unlocked then)

    As Wukong and Shen are both Ionians and Bruisers, we can replace Bard&Aphelios with Yunara and rush level 9 after 3* Sion. Kindred is Quickstriker with Yunara and Zilean is Invoker with Kobuko, so they are the most natural capped board.

  19. ray

    Zoe over aphelios might be more viable. You lose the potential one doot, but the shred is good. also zoe 2 > bard 2 in my testing so potentially a good item holder until bard 3

    Can’t use kobuko in opener. He’s not unlocked until level 7.
