Tips & Tricks
- Gragas looks slightly worse than Pantheon in the stats as a tank, but always itemize whichever one is higher star level
- Generally want to play from Pyke Psionic item, but Drone on Gwen is fine too.
- Goal is to position such that Pyke hits enemy carry early into fight which requires him to be opposite side and ideally with clean line of sight toward enemy carry.

Economy Strategy
2-Cost Reroll
- 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. Roll until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch, but generally 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.
- After your 3-2 rolldown, you should attempt to rebuild your economy to 50g.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Level to 7 if you haven't already.
- Level to 8 as soon as possible. This may not happen until 5-5 or in some games, stage 6.
- Level to 9 whenever possible. This is rare, but can happen in the games you have a chance of winning.

Two Much Value
Formula
Example



hey, i really think this comp should be B tier just because it’s totally uncontested (exept if someone else got pyke gragas aug), i reached diamond forcing this comp almost every game, always got top 4 and sometimes even got first. Every time i have drone or optic as the first item i just play it.
Idk how. But I did place 2nd with this comp. Anomaly went a long way, and Pyke + Gwen were doing 13k each until the last guy’s Conduit MF Viktor was the last one alive.
Even with Two Much Value this comp is 100% D tier
This comp is still B tier with Two Much Value, update the board for proper Pyke positioning (opposite enemy carry)
Retribution is amazing here
I think the positioning would be better if you lined the units on the corners
HOLY SHIT! This comp just gave me a free 1st, and I didn’t even have “Two much Value” or Pyke’s Hero Augment on it. I got a free Pyke 2 by the “Kick Start” augment and just got so lucky because I also got like 2 star Riven when I was level 7 and finished the other 2 cost to 3-star on stage 4-2 (except Meepsie and Millio), The gods in the game was Varus and Thresh. Kinda ironic that Varus is the reroll god but Thresh’s boon is what I got that game, I was snowballing like crazy, I was wondering how is this comp working because I was Mr.100 + 15 winstreak, till stage 5 :(( Then finished the game with 3-star Riven, 2nd placer was playing the Kaisa + Fizz reroll (he got Kaisa, Fizz, Rhaast, Ornn 3-starred) Last fight was close, almost lost with 3-star Riven, but pulled it off with a win. This game that I experienced right now is prolly the only game where I got so lucky, because every orb that I get or every time I rerolled there’s always 1 unit that I want in my board.
I took “An Exalted Adventure” as first aug and got Gwen, Pyke, Gragas so gave this a spin WITHOUT Two much Value. Got lucky with a Death Dance for Pyke and Infinity foirce for Gwen on the pay out. Was losing pretty consistently to bel veth/akali reroll once they hit but beating most other mid game boards consistently. Was an easy top 4 but no more. Came 2nd with some luck.
Just a suggestion. You could probably add an alternative unit layout with pyke on the opposite corner of the enemy backline carry.
Other units are positioned like you positioned golden ox graves comp in set 14. Pyke should always target the backline carry on the first cast.Only problem is against mecha where galio can taunt him and cancel the ability but given the mecha nerf it might be worth a try.
Just played this with “An Exalted Adventure” and no “Two Much Value”. I placed 4th.
Definitely wouldn’t force/recommend with the augment but it’s an option to consider.
got two much value and prismatic ticket 3 starred corki and riven :))
milio is a really good carry too with just random mana/ap items, void/red buff anything really
what other augments are good? u obviously want items and pyke positioning matters
100% D tier without Two Much Value
