Tips & Tricks

Needs early Graves to play (Stage 4)
Graves upgrades are not solved yet
This comp is absurdly expensive and can use many items so augments and boons that provide resources are helpful
Duo carry can either be Vex or Fiora. Both are strong, but Vex provides a source of backline damage. Fiora items are more flexible, but conflict with Graves items

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.
