Tips & Tricks
- Ideally play from spots where you have Qiyana, Rek’Sai, Yasuo, or Gangplank to itemize early. The best components for this line are Sword, Glove, and Cloak. The worst component is Rod. Try to angle this line when you have a strong opener with good components.
- Bel’Veth wants QSS + two damage items (ideally Kraken and GS). Can also build Rageblade + Titans (ideally only both together as they synergize). Avoid building Omnivamp items on Bel’Veth if possible.
- Note that Omnivamp items are weak on Slayers due to their innate Omnivamp. Artifacts and augments that help you reach the Omnivamp requirement for Aatrox without building items are excellent.
- If you can’t unlock Aatrox, play Gangplank instead.
- This is one of the more resource intensive comps in the game as it requires a lot of gold to hit the board, has many units to itemize, and benefits from combat augments more than most comps. As such, consider angling from high resource encounters.
- In Patch 16.6, Yone no longer requires 3-star Yasuo to unlock and therefore is playable in the standard Slayers line. He is a stronger unit than Ambessa and therefore should be played around if you are able to get a Yasuo 2 to unlock him by Stage 4.

)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 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.
it’s worth holding 1star kogmaw and malzahar if you think you can go 10 and got early winstreak
kog only cost 1g and hard to find later
you can move item item to kog on pve round to unlock kaisa (like 5-7 in example if you rich enough)
put kaisa and malzahar to board, level to 10 and sell them to play baron
it’s an anternative winout other than trying to 3star 4cost
I think late game scaling bumps this comp up from A to S. This comp is weak until belveth or ambessa with items so it needs level 8 ASAP. Once you hit 9 you add fiddlesticks which is three 5 costs so you get pretty good value all around.
Gilded Steel should also be a strong condition, not only he usually gives you fiddle, shiv or lucian/senna to cap the board but also gives a good amount of durability
who dafuq is suposed to hold the fking triforce?
Usually Ambessa
I think Bronze For Life II can be +2, feels significantly stronger than CB2 and Tiny But Deadly
In this comp I think Ambessa with the Darkin Scythe+HoJ+Gage is equal to if not better than Bel’Veth with the Darkin Bow.
Fun but players are now forcing Brock just to counter this
should be mentioned that 6 Slayers + BT unlocks Aatrox as well
> Prioritize building 2 Omnivamp items so you can immediately unlock Aatrox on Level 8. Part of why Death’s Defiance is so good in this line is that it is the only Omnivamp item you’ll need with 4 Slayer to unlock Aatrox.
Horrible in ASol meta
I found Prowler’s Claw pretty strong on Aatrox, another artifact option
got 5th with BiS 2star Belveth and everything else besides aatrox 2star. Just swap the darkin bow & augment to S+ instead of op
Nah bro Darkin bow is NOT OP!!! I got All main units with BIS items (belveth darkin and have pandora items) (Belveth+Atrox+Fiddle+swain tank items) And all board 2 stars get 4th place. So it’s not bad but actually not OP
stfu lmao
I keep wondering what would be the best line to play with an extra slayer emblem, any ideas?
Barely get top 4 each time I run darkin bow. Maybe I just have a learning curve, but I’m not feeling the “OP” rank
Darkin Bow Bel’Veth won’t win games. Let’s be clear about this patch: There are ONLY two ways to win a game: Bilgewater or Fast 9. Get any hope of winning a game without one of those two lines out of your head. What makes Darkin Bow Bel’Veth so good is the fact you get to play an easy, uncontested line (in most games) that is strong enough to guarantee top 4, possibly top 2 if you high roll. Just assume you are NEVER playing to win if you don’t have a spot to play Bilgewater or Fast 9
yea.. dont pick darkin bow aug if u alrd have bilge/yordle opener (just go straight f9 much stronger) . imo darkin bow just good with noxus opener with mel
What makes the Thieves’ Gloves augments (Band of Thieves, Rascals) good in this comp?
Is every single guide just “Play bilgewater until you can max this board out”?
This is not OP. Got BIS on both Aatrox 2 star and BV 2 Star and placed 2nd because a double Aurelion Sol Frelijord comp would one shot everyone.
I love the 1 game 2nd place sample size. Thanks for the comment brother – very insightful.
“op” with darkin bow my ass.
No chance this comp is still S, Aatrox feels really weak on live
f you no teaching how to unlock aatrox
Mate learn how to read
you stupid? it literally tells you in game
LMFAO
