Tips & Tricks
- Ideally play from tempo AP opener with Ionia Ahri (Prosperous Path is ideal) or with a Teemo Yordle opener.
- In an ideal world, this comp skips level 8 and plays for Level 9 as early as 4-5 with enough econ. However, in reality, sometimes you will have to roll on level 8 before you can go level 9. If this is the case, check the Level 8 variations WITH and WITHOUT Kennen in the dropdown menu.
- Ideal augment distribution: Econ (2-1) | Econ (3-2) | Item or Combat (4-2).
- Making 1 Thief’s Gloves is high prio as otherwise you won’t have any items for Sett because you will want to prioritize items on Ziggs and Ryze. Ideal Stage 4 items would be 3 AP backline items, 2 tank items, and TG. Not possible to force, but this is how you should think about itemization.
- If you play from Ionia Ahri opener, it is typically not too difficult to unlock Kennen on 3-7 if you play around Shen + Ahri + Neeko + Defender units. If you can’t unlock Kennen on 3-7, then play around the no Kennen level 8 board and make sure to unlock him on 4-7 by holding units in Stage 4.
- Since the Level 8 Boards do not play around Caitlyn, make sure to hold a Caitlyn on your bench. It is not worth 2 starring her as she might cost you econ if you do that.
- One of the hardest parts about this comp is making sure that when you go level 8, at some point you will want to unlock Sett. The turn you go level 9, you MUST unlock Ryze + Ziggs. Ideally you held onto any units you needed to play 4 region traits + itemize a Yordle or Zaun unit that turn.
- Only roll on level 9 AFTER you’ve unlocked Ziggs + Ryze. If you made a mistake and forgot to unlock one of them, usually you must spend all your gold rolling that turn despite missing an unlock because you are too low HP. Only wait for the other unlock if you are high HP.

Economy Strategy
- Without econ augment, fast 9 is almost impossible without win-streak.
- 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, or 8 if you can stay above 30g.
- Level to 8. Main difference from Fast 8 is how much you roll on 8. Ideally you are high HP and don’t need to roll at all. Otherwise, roll for acceptable board and accumulate gold afterward.
- Level to 9 if you are rich enough to roll 40g+. Generally only possible with economy augment or encounter.
- Level to 9 if you can roll 40g+ or if low HP.
- Level to 9 and roll for important 5-costs. For the remainder of game, roll until you hit your 2 star itemized units. Can consider level 10 after hitting.
Insane if ionia is the gold path, ryze prints gold 🙂
Zaun emblem is a huge lategame cap by letting you get azir/renekton at level 10(drop mundo) to get the gold bonus from ryze.
Unlocking Ziggs during stage 4 can be pretty annoying if you aren’t itemizing Teemo
tank kennen unlocks him
Seraphine 2 is really strong to stabilize on 8. I found this way more playable than Ionia variants now since vertical piltover is giganerfed but Yunara is still high play. Also with this board, Jinx is a good sub for Yunara if a random guinsoo drops, but ad items are bad tbh.
Why are Sweet Treats good in this composition?
Sorry, what is TG in “Making 1 TG is high prio as otherwise you won’t have any items for Sett”?
TG = Thief’s gloves. Updated the tip for clarity.
Take out cait for seraphine ekko at 8 https://x.com/KhymTFT/status/2009112171813503435?s=20
Good transition til u get enough gold for 9
