Tips & Tricks
- Rapidfire Emblem is mandatory for this line. The spike from 4 to 5 Rapidfire is huge and it is a strong item on Brambleback.
- Do not build Rageblade on Aphelios. 5 Rapidfire provides more than enough attack speed. Aim for items that give AD, crit, or damage amp such as Kraken, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Giant Slayer, or Striker's. Utility like Red Buff / Last Whisper or Gunblade are fine too.
- Note that this line plays Inferno, so Red Buff is not important on Aphelios like it is in the other Aphelios comps. Sunder is still important.
- Diana or Taric is played on Level 9. Can also drop Rakan for Maokai on 9 once you play either Diana or Taric. Taric is better than Diana if same star level. Diana 2 is probably slightly better than Taric 1. Do not drop 5 Rapidfire for 4 Vanguard.
- Prioritize itemizing whoever is upgraded first between Amumu and Sentinel. If both are upgraded or 1 star, prioritize itemizing Amumu.

Economy Strategy
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.

who to cut on lvl8? Diana?
This is a bait, even with bis including collector its at best high A
Who the fuck do you riftbeast buff please and fucking thank you.
probably the mama beak, since aph will be attacking the same target, melting through their main tank faster
It’s hard to see but there’s a green beast mark on the Brambleback icon on the board. You can also go over the build tab right next to the board and see “Alpha Mark” labeled above the items.
Mama beak mark sounds fucking OK but f****** marking red f****** buff synergizes with the f****** attack speed from rapidfire f****** emblem. Might be fun to f****** experiment. Have a good f****** day and you’re fucking welcome.
LMFAO I’m sorry, I censored this just because even as a joke I can imagine it getting on people’s nerves to see it that many times. But just know I laughed at it. Reminded me of this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKuOZ_c_nGE
Only got this thing online at 10hp but my god was it smooth sailing after that (especially since I had Gold Collector too!). Bramble just hip-hoppin’ around and aphelios attacking at mach-fuck just eviscerating every board I came across; very nice comp :^)
