Tips & Tricks

Play 9 Lagoon as long as you can, but eventually you should transition down to 6 Lagoon with better units like Bard and Zoe.
Lagoon Emblem is strong because it allows you to play the comp more like Fast 8 than Fast 9. The reason it’s difficult to play this line with fast 8 econ is because the level 8 board does not work without the emblem. But with the emblem, you can play 9 Lagoon + Sylas which is much more stable.
Obviously consider playing this line if you get the encounter that provides you a dragon at the start of the game and it provides you Sohm as it makes the early game much easier.
Soraka can be played over Zyra late game as well

Economy Strategy

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 20g+. Generally only possible with economy augment or encounter.
Level to 9 if you can roll 20g+ 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.
