Tips & Tricks

Roll for 2-stars on Level 7 since your carries are 3-costs, even if you are going to push levels. Ideally play for 3-stars, but in some games it is better to tempo level instead of reroll.
After the nerfs to Viktor in Patch 17.2 and its strongest augment, Bronze for Life, there are far fewer circumstances where tempo is correct (there are other lines to consider) so generally aim to reroll if possible.
The Sona boards are experimental. Most players are staying on the Illaoi boards instead even when pushing levels.

Economy Strategy

Level to 4 if strong.
Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
Level to 6, unless it places you below 30g.
Stay level 6, unless you can stay above 50g on 7 or you are below 40 HP and can stay above 30g on 7.
Level to 7, roll until board mostly upgraded. Never go below 10g even if missing tank or carry.
Build up to 50g, slow roll to 50g until 5-1.
If below ~25 HP, sometimes you must roll until you hit here. Not ideal.
Roll until you hit 3-star carry and tank. Can go to 0g. Only greed gold if you are above ~60 HP.
If you hit, you can level to 8. Otherwise stay 7. Holds true for every round for the rest of the game.

Tip added: Most players are prioritizing primary carry items on Viktor over Nami currently, even at 2-stars. Nami can hold Void Staff and Morello if you don't have frontline utility items.

Tip added: Rhaast looks like better tank than Illaoi. Itemize whichever one is higher star level, preferring Rhaast if both are equal star level.

Tip changed from This comp is not solved yet. Current theory is that it is better to play Fast 8 instead of 3-cost reroll (only exception might be Prismatic Ticket with high econ). Push levels, play around 2-stars, and try to get to the Max Cap board → The consensus building around this comp is that it is a good idea to roll for 2-stars on Level 7 since your carries are 3-costs, even if you are going to push levels.

Tip changed from Only play from Viktor Psionic item → This comp is not solved. It might be a reroll comp, it could just be a push levels and go for the max cap board. If so, you play Fast 8 econ strategy and play around 2-stars until you get to the ideal level 9 board. Most likely should push levels unless you have reroll augment like Prismatic Ticket

Wise Spending is sick with this comp, as you can play for both 3 stars and level 8, I’d say it’s an even greater econ aug than prism ticket for this comp.

ok i gona say it very strong comp i play fast 8 every time and it my main comp to play rank(but not play when Psionic item is not magic or tank it very hard to use AD item)
but is comp gona strong When Nami 2 star or you Level 9 i VERY recommand if you play fast 8 is comp have no tank if you roll level 8 and got Galio or Nunu 2 star you can swap Morde if level 8 and push you Level to 9 find sona swap pyke out use sona add Morde back and swap illaoi with Nunu or Galio (but Nunu is stronger than Galio) and use them to Main tank
if you rich or gona Max cap go level 10 use bard
a little tip by me i play is comp 20+ Augment item is VERY importan(but any Augment in Strong Conditions is very real it make is comp super stronger)
you need to know if you play for fast 8 you need a very game knowledge and tempo timeing it kinda hard but it very Stability to play AND NOT PLAY IT WHEN PSIONIC AD ITEM!(if play you borad gona very week it maybe go to tier B or C i guess)

I don’t understand, what is the gameplan if you do not go for three stars? Frontline seems weak without Rhaast or Illaoi 3.

I’ve recently had a game where I had Seeker’s Armguard on Illaoi 3, and HOLY was she going crazy, I believe this could deserve to be put in the “strong conditions” tab as a +1 !

there’s another version of this comp where you play around the ornn-aatrox-maokai-gragas core for the frontlane, how does it perform in comparison?
with MF as duo carry, holding any leftover AD items
