Golden Ox Opener

Gameplan:

This Comp only works when having 6 Golden Ox which means you either have an Golden Ox Emblem or you hit Viego on Level 8. You want to take the Golden Ox Emblem on 2-1 if you have a Jarvan or your likely to win most of Stage 2 because you want to farm gold by killing Units and snowball into stage3. The Golden Ox Emblem early is weak without having 4 Golden Ox up. You can also get an Spatula or a Jarvan from Caroussel at 2-4 or 3-5. You can also play Gox from the Augment Golden Fleece which generates even more gold. Gold scales into dmgamp which means the Gold you have has more value compared to your enemys. It also allows you to hit your interest breakpoints earlier to generate even more money. Every round you want to increase the Golden Ox damageamp threshold without losing interest. You can also play Golden Ox from losestreak when you have the Augment Hedge Fund where you push to Level 9 fast and roll for 6 Golden Ox with Zac and Garen. Your best level 8 and level 9 board consists of legendarys. Zac is by far the best Unit to add in Golden Ox because since you have so much money your able to farm blobs while stacking up the dmgamp. This comp also lacks frontline. Garen provides the Golden Ox Mod which is very strong on any Unit. (Zac, Kobuko, Samira, Xayah, Garen)

Your best opener would be 4 Golden Ox with a Vanguard while Jarvan holds Tankitems for Zac/Leona and Graves holds Aphelios Items but any opener which allows you to winstreak and farm money can work. Your goal is to get to 4 Golden Ox as soon as possible. At level 5, 6 or 7 you can add another Vanguard and a Bruiser. For example Alistar, Graves, Jarvan + Gragas + Senna with Golden Ox Emblem + Rhaast. You want to be Level 8 and 9 as soon as possible.

Since Golden Ox provides high amount of Damageamp you want to add another multiplier to your carrys kit. If you play around Aphelios you want him to be able to crit which means you give him Infinity Edge but he also needs attackspeed this means you want Rageblade on him. His 3rd best Item is Krakens Fury which proides him with Attackdamage. Annie her strength comes from casting Tibbers this means Managenerating Items are very Important to her. She wants Blue Buff and Nashors. Her new best 3rd Item is Void Staff because she applies magicshred very well. Void Staff can be replaced with Shojin while Nashors can be replaced by Red Buff. Zac and Leonas best Tank Item is Warmogs depending on what the Lobby is playing you add Dragonclaw or/and Bramble Vest. Dont forget to build Armorpen or Healreduce in form of Sunfire or Redbuff. Annies Tibbers does healreduce (Wound & Burn) but its not reliable enough. Lastwhisper can be build over krakens if you do not have armorpen from Evenshroud or Piercing Lotus.

Positioning wise you want Annie to hit clumps with Tibbers same as Viego. Jarvan should always be in front of Aphelios because he has flat armor reduction whenever he casts.

To winout you want to have high dmg amp and 40+ Blobs on Zac2 with Golden Ox Mod. Aphelios3 and Annie3 are also an option but Aphelios is contested by marksman players or Gox Graves Rerollplayers

1 Reason why this comp is also weaker without Emblem is when you have Zac & Garen + 6 Golden Ox you dont have many additional Traits to roll Mods for which are not super useless.

Encounters:

Scuddle Puddle, Crab Rave, Gold Subscription, Loot Subscription or any sort of Gold and Item Encounter are great for 6 Gox.

Augments:

You really like Item Augments because they allow you to winstreak which should generate you more Gold. You also have multiple carrys lategame which can be itemized. On 4-2 you can take a Combat Augment since you will have many Carrys ready to go. High End Shopping is very good on Gox because you can roll on 8 for Viego and Zac.

Greater Moonlight 2 for Alistar4 where he is your Maintank.
