A.M.P Annie & Samira

Gameplan:

to play succesful vertical AMP you want to generate as much resources as possible. This comp is very expensive because it plays around Annie, Samira, Neeko, Zac, Viego and even Yuumi. Lose- or Winstreaking will allow you to hit and upgrade your Units easier.

Losestreaking with Augments like Calculated Loss, Good for Something or Upward Mobility for example are great for AMP togehter with Cypher. In Stage 1, Nidalee1 or Alistar1 can beat Stageround 1-2 and 1-3 alone if you place them next to the right minion. This will allow you to reach the first interest breakpoint of 10 gold very early. In Stage 2 and 3 you want to build up your economy to get to Level 8 or even Level 9 asap. You always want to playaround Cyper Units even if you would only cashout at 100 Intel. The more Gold you have at your rolldown at 4-1 or 4-2 the higher your chances are of hitting Samira on Level 8. 5 A.M.P with Samira is alot stronger than only having 4 A.M.P. To be stable, to be able to goto level 9 you want to have Annie2, Neeko2, Yuumi2 and ideally Samira or more upgraded lower cost Units. You also can build up the damageamp of Golden ox for Annie & Viego through Stage3. Do not underestimate the value of the bonus damageamp. (Annie2 > Yuumi2 > Annie1 if both have perfect Items. Yuumi has besides Blue Buff more flexibile Itembuilds while Annie needs specific ones.)

A very good opener to winstreak while playing into AMP is Nitro Elise. Elise can Itemhold very well for Annie or Yuumi. 5 Street Demon with Zyra Itemholding for Annie and Jinx Itemholding for Samira if you get early AD Items is also great.

Annie her strength comes from casting Tibbers this means Managenerating Items are very Important to her. She wants Blue Buff, Nashors with the new Void Staff. Void Staff works very well on Annie because she has low manacost while she is able to hit alot of Units with her spell in AMP. She is by far the best Void Staff holder of Set 14. Nashors can be replaced by Red Buff. Void Staff can also be replaced by Shojin which is her second best build. Samiras build consists of Infinity Edge her best Item, Hand of Justice and Strikers Flail. Ie for ability crit, HoJ for AD, crit chance and omnivamp while Strikers Flail gives her more damageamp. Warmogs is the best Item for Neeko and Zac. As second or third Item you can build Bramble against AD- or Dragonclaw against AP Boards. Protectors Vow, Steadfast or Spirit Visage are also great. Double Warmogs works also well.

Your winoutoptions are Annie2 & Samira2 with Zac2 with +30 Blobs. Yuumi3 itemized can win Lobbys too. (You can get 4 small dupes from the Cypher cashout 250). Her best Items are Blue Buff, Jeweled Gaunlet with Hextech Gunblade, Strikers Flail or Rabadons. You always want to look out for an Strategist Emblem (Spat + BF). Samira is a great Strategist-Emblemitemholder because it gives her damageamp aswell as durability.

Component Prio: Tear, BF, Belt, Crit.

Encounters:

Scuddle Puddle, Crab Rave, Loot Subscription, Component Anvil or any high resource Portal which allows you to fast 9. This Board can cap very high at Level 9 but needs many Items.

Augments:

Usually you want1 XP/Gold Augment, 1 Combat and 1 Item Augment. Only take Combat when Annie, Samira and Zac (Neeko) are going to be fully itemized. Golemify can be your Zac.
