Tips & Tricks
- Void Staff is ideal because often you do not want to play Kog'Maw on either Level 8 or Level 9 as he is hard to fit on level 8 and several 5-costs are better on 9.
- Always itemize whoever is upgraded. If both Sett and Sentinel are upgraded, Sett is generally a stronger tank. However, Sentinel is strong against people who clump and let their carries get CC'd.
- This board is much easier to hit than the Blossom board which requires Ashe to perform well. This line can also use more AP items than the traditional Blossom line
- In the mirror match, make sure to position differently. This positioning is good for clumping enemies to the center of the board so Morgana and Ahri can kill them quickly, but is weak against other large AoE boards (such as the mirror match)
- In late game, look to drop Kog'Maw and Karma. Standard swap is Alune + Ashe, but can also play around Ivern and Blossom / Lunar Lux in these flex slots.
- Before hitting Taric, play around whatever upgraded Vanguard unit you can hit to pair with Sentinel or a random 5-cost if you have items on Sett 2 and don't need Vanguard as much.

Fast 8
- 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.
- Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. "Stable" changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
- If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
- If you are low HP and haven't 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
- If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can't afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
- Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
- For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.

Tip changed from Void Staff is acceptable even with Kog'Maw since both Ahri and Morgana hit the backline. Furthermore, the Level 8 board fits best if Kog'Maw is not played so Void Staff is better in this line than most Invoker lines. → Void Staff is ideal because often you do not want to play Kog'Maw on either Level 8 or Level 9 as he is hard to fit on level 8 and several 5-costs are better on 9.








How do you cap this board? Ivern/Lux? Without invoker emblem not sure my +1 on level 9.
