Tips & Tricks
- Malphite and Rek'Sai are not mandatory, although it is the most common version of the board. Can also just play around upgraded frontline like Sett, Sentinel, or Taric
- Pick Tiger for Primal Blessing. Previous consensus was that Bear is best, but now Tiger is becoming more popular

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.

It feels a little awkward to take Tiger blessing when Nidalee has Silvermere Dawn – any thoughts on this?
Yeah you wouldn’t take it with Silvermere. With Silvermere you’d take Bear especially since you really need resets with Silvermere.
Thanks, it makes sense.
Should EoN still be in core items, considering her build has changed now? Ik it’s still good on her coz melee carry
Good call, updated thank you. Comments like this help me keep the site in a good state.
the level 8 blossom 3 with set ashe is pretty stable too
also a jugg amumu + crab at 8, tank is pretty flex with malphite out of the pool
If you get an early Ash, then instead of Krag you put Seth and instead of Cog you put Yui
this comp suck af, nidalee cast too slow and her jumping skill got delay
that’s so not true XD, i just made 6 top 1 out of 7 game
This comp feels like it needs some armor shred, or Nidalee can possibly get stuck on a tanky guy and never do her leap-assassinate combo. Unsure if it’s best coming from Sivir or a frontline tank.
Kogmaw…
