[Set 9] Noxus and Friends

There are several ways to play Noxus. One strategy is to stay at level 7 and roll for all your level 3 units. However, after playing several games, I realized that accessing the enemy backline could be challenging if you're not positioned on the correct side. Is is also important to focus for Augment's fight in order to stack the Noxus trait.

I would recommend using Noxus to fast level to 8 and find Kai'Sa, who is optimal for accessing the enemy backline. The decision ultimately depends on the specific game and circumstances you're facing.

• Total Domination - Attacks and Abilities of your Noxus units execute enemies below 6% of their maximum Health, increased by +2% for each player you've Conquered. Gain 3 Noxians.
• Tons of Stats! - Your team gains 66 Health, 6% Attack Damage, 6 Ability Power, 6 Armor, 6 Magic Resist, 6% Attack Speed, and 6 Mana.
• Unburdened II - Your units without items equipped gain 55% Attack Speed.
• Gargantuan Resolve - Gain a Titan's Resolve. Your Titan's Resolves can continue stacking to 35 instead of 25.

Indeed, the early game is crucial in Noxus compositions. It can be challenging to force it, but if you naturally hit the necessary units, you can easily stack and push aggressively. By doing so, it becomes easier to maintain a winning streak and farm the Noxus trait bonuses.

It will be crucial to roll aggressively if you're on a winning streak to find your Noxus (6) synergy at level 7 and aim for a 2-star Katarina. Again, you have the option to stay at level 7 and roll for your 3-star units, but I personally recommend stabilizing with full 2-star units first. Afterward, you can proceed to level 8 and add Kai'Sa while focusing on completing Katarina 3-star and Darius 3-star.

• Hand of Justice is an excellent item on Katarina. The critical strike chance and health regeneration make it a perfect fit for her.
• Jeweled Gauntlet is ideal for Katarina as it allows her to critically strike and deal massive damage.
• Ionic Spark is great for shredding the magic resistance of enemies, but Titan's Resolve is also a very good choice on Katarina.

1. I don't recommend forcing the composition as the early game is crucial.
2. If you have a good start with Noxus, it's important to play aggressively before reaching your Noxus stacks.
3. Don't hesitate to level up to 4 first round and push to level 5 on 2-2 if you have a high chance of winning.
4. Focus on slamming offensive items such as Hand of Justice, Infinity Edge, and Bloodthirster to increase your chances of winning.
5. At level 7, you want to roll aggressively to find Noxus (6) and maintain your win streak.
6. There are two ways to approach the game: either stay at level 7 and roll for your 3-star units or push to level 8 and add Kai'Sa.
7. In the first case, it can be very challenging to access the enemy backline, so I recommend pushing to level 8 and finishing the 3-star units at that point.
