Tips & Tricks
- This is a highly flexible comp for the roll down on 8. You can play around 4 Juggernaut if you hit Shyvana. You can play around Dr. Mundo + Wukong if you miss Shyvana. Swain + Vi + Neeko is also an option. Ekko + Seraphine is an option. Try and be open to these options during the level 8 rolldown.
- Ultimately, you’ll always want to play around the same three 5-costs on your final board: Shyvana, Kindred, and Lucian. These pair with Singed, Warwick, and Jinx respectively and are each strong units. Jinx 2 carries backline items until you hit Kindred 2.
- Since you always want to play these three 5 costs, you’ll almost always want to play Warwick + Singed + Jinx to pair with them. This leaves 3 flex slots on 9. Usually these flex slots are 2 Zaun units and a unit that pairs with those Zaun units, such as Wukong / Swain / Seraphine / Garen / Neeko.
- Zaun emblem allows you to drop one of the dead Zaun units (you’ll typically have at least 1 Zaun unit that provides zero other traits) and play a flex unit like Fiddlesticks or Taric instead on 9.
- You’ll want to play around a 4-cost tank that isn’t Singed next to your Warwick. The main options are Swain, Wukong, and Garen. Can also do Taric or Skarner technically, but this comp prefers the units with traits as it already struggles to fill out traits for each Zaun unit.
- Gunslinger Emblem is strong on Warwick because it allows you to easily play Gunslinger on level 8 (you don’t have space for a Gunslinger on 8) and its effect is strong on Warwick.

- 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.
Hey, could someone explain to me why the comp went down on all tier lists (and also avg. placement went down in stats)? Nothing got touched, jinx mundo got buffed. Should be less relying on Swain/4 Jugg/2* Wukong to be tanky and was already a decent comp before.
Iirc there was a bug during 16.4 where 5 Zauns and above would go shimmer fused for the rest of the combat. Since that is fixed, they seem to have loss a lot of power so technically zaun is considered nerfed
Comp’s pretty bad, even with Comeback Story
Ive been forcing this comp for a while, BIS is steraks, titans, gs. , like many people have said this board struggles against some ionia boards and freiljord, with the right positioning can beat slayers board but is quite unforgiving, you must cap around legendaries and the lvl 7 board is quite weak, i believe the real and quite consistent way of winning out with this comp is quite literally to roll for warwick 3 on 8 which seems to happen a lot if you have ther right econ
B-Tier? You lose like every Matchup against Ionia, Demacia or Slayers. I don’t get it, WW deals only DMG with BIS + Combat Augments. Even then he gets stuck at a 2* Garen, 2* Wukong or 2* Herald. This feels like a sage bottom 4 at Master Elo.
wouldn’t mess hall be good
No offence but after trying this item build on warwick. it feels so fcking ass….
Where does the defender emblem go on this board? It’s in the conditions for increasing comp value and the Main board is only 1/2 Defender so it makes sense how good it is. But who is the best holder? Warwick or Singed?
Singed
I’ve been playing this comp using 7 zaun with Mundo + Blitz + Seraphine (flexing in Garen Defender if I cannot find Seraphine) on level 8 before I can put in the legendary board on 9. Has been working well in Dia 1 Elo. 7 Zaun with 2 star WW and Singed seems to be quite stable for stage 4 and 5 depending on items. I feel like Jinx with LW + whatever AD items such as GS or rageblade does great work as a duo carry until you get Lucian or Kindred.
The alternative would be to play 5 zaun with Neeko + Swain but in my experience Swain is just too contested to reliably hit two stars and it is simply not stable enough with Swain one star. You really have to be able to go 9 if you want more than 4th and hitting Singed, WW, Sera AND Swain just tanks your economy. It’s been working better to just hold mundo and blitz to save the econ and go 9.
Radiant Last Whisper could be a +1 condition for Warwick, good if you dont have the Gunslinger emblem, Titan’s Sterak’s Radiant LW
I played this game with WW BiS items. My 2 star Ekko (no items) outdamaged my 2 Star Warwick in Stage 4-5.
Frontline looks like paper mache
