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.

This rule of thumb only holds true if you can secure good items on Jax. Correct Jax itemization takes priority over everything else.

Evelynn’s Instincts and Seeker’s Armguard both feel very, very good on this comp. Like BIS probably. Can drop BT and take Quicksilver instead to guarantee the kills, stacks, resets. After like 2 kills Jax is already unkillable.
Thanks even though you classed this line as unplayable I managed to come second. I had 3 star max with the recommended items and he was doing between 15000 to 23,000 damage each round
Yassuo’s permanent HP hex is doing heavy lifting, just got second off of it
Esta composição também funciona bem ao usar Jax, Talon, Lulu, Phanteon, Riven, Ornn, Tahm Kench e Rhaast. Priorizando em colocar Jax, Talon e Phant com 3*, os demais fecham a comp pegando level 8. Até conseguir a Riven e o TK, pode-se usar Cho e Kaisa.
Published your comment, but for future reference I generally only allow comments in English since it is harder for me to moderate non-English comments and the majority of website users expect English. Maybe at some point in the future I’ll add some way to auto translate comments like YouTube does and it will be more viable, but don’t have that for now. Appreciate it 🙂
Thanks for explain. I’ really don’t know. But, you site is very usefull for non-english players. Waiting patiently for others languages on builds and comments. Thanks your effords on mantaining this site and builds very updated.😁👍
Seeker’s Armguard is definitely atleast +1 tier on this
i got the “fast but deadly” and the Baron Augment with normal Items on Jax and Aatrox. I won against “space groove Riven”, Viktor and against Leblanc with Karma. So maybe both Augment move this combo to A or S tier.
Played it with Gwen 3*, was not finding TFs, was losing some rounds to 3* Viktor near the end but once i hit 4 bastions at level 9 with Rammus & Shen it was really damn good
Got 1st
Wanted to mention to anyone who’s going for artifacts that Evelynn’s Instinct from the Apotheotic Forge is also acceptable
