Tips & Tricks
- Best played when you have an Arbiter that provides you Leona copies at the end of combat so you can have 3-star Leona while pushing levels or Combat Arbiter + Worth the Wait Leona.
- Understanding the midgame for this comp is important. The 3 primary carries you can play around are Zoe, Viktor, and Karma. Since you should be playing this from econ Arbiter, the best carry is Viktor 2 > Zoe 2 > Karma 1. The comp is better if your (2) Psionic item is Drone or Implant.
- The comp wants to play Vex + Bard duo, but it's difficult to fit Vex on Level 9. The best unit to drop is Pyke which means losing Psionic and a Voyager. It's a big tradeoff, but could be worth if you have Vex items.
- If you have a combat Arbiter, play LeBlanc over Meepsie. Do not play Arbiter on your final board if your Arbiter effect is getting Leona copies (the 1g a round is not worth the loss in combat power).
- Technically this comp can be played with Nunu instead of Leona, but the Leona line is much easier to winstreak with and get to Level 9.

Economy Strategy
Fast 9
- 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.
