Sorcerer (version 1)
Sorcerer (version 2)
Sorcerer (version 3)
Sorcerer (version 4)
How to play
Now we dont have 8x Sorcerer so Emblem is not required! so you take emblem and go for Elise carry or on front and can you too Mel!
Version 1/2 – Rolling at Level 8
📌 For this variation:
✅ Begin with a brief slow roll at Level 7 to enhance stability and secure key units.
✅ However, the key power spike occurs at Level 8, where you’ll have increased odds of hitting vital 3-cost units while also focusing on acquiring your main carry, Zoe.
✅ Your ultimate goal is to advance to Level 9 or 10 as quickly as possible to activate the 6x Sorcerer bonus and take strong champion LeBlanc 2 and active Black roses.
Alternative Backline Strategy – Elise
📌 With recent buffs, consider positioning Elise in the backline:
✅ Equip her with mana regeneration and an AP item to enhance her effectiveness, providing excellent utility while maintaining damage output.
✅ This alternative positioning can help diversify your strategy and catch opponents off-guard.
Version 3 – Rolling at Level 7
📌 In this version:
✅ Roll at Level 7 for optimal odds of obtaining 3-cost units like Nami and Swain, which are pivotal to this composition.
✅ Once you secure these critical units, push to Level 8 to finish your frontline with Garen and Ambessa at 2 stars.
✅ Finally, rush to Level 10 for maximum power and to fully implement your win condition.
Corki & Ekko
How to play
Optimal Composition Strategy: Versatile AP and AD Potential
Overview:
This composition is versatile, providing strong options for both AP and AD scaling. It can be tailored to fit your gameplay style and allows for significant growth at levels 9 and 10. You can enhance your board by swapping items between champions like Gangplank and Jayce or adding Form Swappers for additional flexibility.
Power Spike and Rolling Strategy:
-
Level 8: The Power Spike
-
Your main power spike occurs at level 8, where you’ll look to secure four crucial 4-cost units. Focus on these key champions:
-
Ekko
-
Corki
-
Elise (or Illaoi as your tank)
-
-
Your primary objective is to 2-star both Ekko and Corki while also upgrading at least one of your tanks (Elise or Illaoi) to 2 stars. Ensure that whichever tank you promote first is equipped with your tank items.
-
Item Distribution:
-
Corki:
- Build Infinity Edge and Last Whisper on Corki. Start with a B.F. Sword, which provides optimal value for your build.
-
Ekko:
- For Ekko, prioritize items that enhance his AP potential, such as Rod items.
-
Versatility:
- Adjust item builds according to the current match situation and available resources. Distributing partial items across your units ensures flexibility and maximizes each champion’s potential.
Emblem Allocation:
- When acquiring a Scrap emblem, allocate it to one of your tanks, ideally Elise or Illaoi. This enhances their survivability and will allow them to soak up more damage in critical moments.
Late Game Strategy (Levels 9/10):
-
As you reach levels 9 and 10, consider integrating powerful units like:
-
Jayce: For significant utility and damage.
-
Strong Legendary units or even 6-cost champions that fit well within your overall composition.
-
Conclusion:
This composition emphasizes adaptability, allowing for strong scaling in both AP and AD paths. Focus on achieving your power spike at level 8, prioritizing key units for 2-star upgrades, and effectively distributing items to maximize your team’s potential. With careful management of emblems and strategic late-game additions, you can secure a formidable presence on the battlefield.
Enforcers (version 1)
Enforcers (version 2)
How to play
Enforcer Composition Strategy
In this composition, the Enforcer Emblem is essential. Without it, your team significantly loses effectiveness. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to optimize this composition:
Key Components:
-
Enforcer Emblem:
- Prioritize acquiring the Enforcer Emblem to strengthen your team’s capabilities.
-
Augment Trait - Martial Law:
- This augment allows you to replace Vi as the secondary carry with Ambessa. Equip her with the Emblem to turn her into an effective partner for Caitlyn.
Rolling Strategy:
- Roll at level 8 to upgrade Vi to 2-star as well as other key units like Twisted Fate and Loris.
- After achieving these upgrades, focus on reaching level 9 as quickly as possible. This will enable you to acquire Caitlyn and fully activate the Enforcer trait. We can play too Loris & Twisted 3
Tank Options:
- Depending on your available units, choose either Illaoi or Elise as your tank. Aim to get whichever one you manage to elevate to 2-star at level 8.
Summary
By focusing on the Enforcer Emblem and effectively utilizing the Martial Law augment, you can build a robust composition centered around powerful duo dynamics with Ambessa and Caitlyn. Upgrading key units at level 8 and aiming for level 9 will ensure that your team is well-equipped to dominate the late game.
Zeri Reroll (version 1)
Zeri Reroll (version 2)
How to play
Version 1: Early Game Strategy 🌄
Start by focusing on building your economy 💵 while avoiding leveling up to 4 or 5 unless:
- You find Zeri early 🥇.
- You have strong items for her, like Guinsoo's Rageblade ⚔️, which provides great value for securing a 100% win rate 🌟 in the first 5 rounds.
Always evaluate the lobby 🏙️ to see if you can dominate the early game 💥.
Mid-Game Strategy 🕰️
At level 6, adopt a slow roll strategy 🎲 to upgrade:
- Zeri to 3 stars 🌟 (your main carry 🚀).
- Vander 🤖, especially when using the Hero Augment Gloves Off 🧤, which works perfectly with this composition.
If someone is contesting these units in the lobby 🚫:
- Prioritize building Zeri as your carry 💎.
- Focus on pushing to level 9/10 as quickly as possible to add high-cost legendary units 🌌.
Late Game Strategy 🌌
When using the Watcher Emblem 👁️, the best champion to equip it on is Ekko ⌛, as he benefits significantly and enhances the Firelight trait 🔥 for your team. This ensures your composition remains strong and adaptable in the late game 💪⚡.
Sentinel Zeri – The Strongest Version in This Patch 🏆✨
The most effective version of this composition right now is the Chinese Sentinel Zeri 🇨🇳✨, which performs exceptionally well in this patch.
Early Game 🌅
At the start of the game, you have two main strategies:
- Strong board 💪 – Focus on winning rounds to maintain high HP.
- Lost streak 😅 – If your start isn't ideal, you can lose rounds intentionally to build economy 💰 and secure better items 🛠️.
Mid Game (Level 6) 🌟
At level 6, the goal is to slow roll 🎲 for Zeri (our main carry 🚀) and Leona, who has received buffs in this patch 🔥.
Late Game & Final Board 🌈
- The core of the comp is 6x Sentinel ⚔️, which provides a strong power spike 💥.
- Once you reach level 9 or 10, you should add a powerful unit—typically 6-cost Viktor 🧪 or Mel 🌌.
- If you have a Sniper Emblem 🎯, you can replace Viktor with Kog’Maw 🐛 and give the Sniper Emblem to Rumble 🔥, which works extremely well. This allows you to run 4x Sniper 🎯✨.
- If you have a Sentinel Emblem 🛡️, you can drop a unit like Loris 🦊 and adjust the board accordingly 🔄.
Smeech Reroll
How to play
Edit for 300 Cashout Smeech🌟
In the early game, we aim to play with 3/4 Chem-Baron and go for a lost streak to quickly cash out 300/350 from them. Only then, at level 7, we slow roll for Smeech to reach three stars. This strategy is definitely better than playing with Camille at three stars or going for a win streak early on with 3/4 Ambusher. As second carry we can play Ekko and Jinx. It's worth keeping 3 chem barons until the end of the game just for the payout of 100
Composition Strategy Overview 🌟
This guide focuses on maximizing your early economy to reach critical levels swiftly, ensuring you can pivot into a powerful late-game team. Here's a structured approach to executing this strategy effectively:
Early Game Strategy 🏦
Economy Focus: 💰
-
Concentrate on gathering as much economy as possible in the early game. This means prioritizing a win streak where feasible and minimizing unnecessary expenses to ensure you can reach level 6 quickly.
-
Slow-Rolling for Smeech: 🐒
Once you reach level 7, begin a slow-roll strategy to collect Smeech and aim for a level 3 Smeech. This unit will be pivotal for your composition's strength.
Mid Game Options ⚔️
Pathways at Level 8: 🚀
-
Finish Ekko at Level 8: Focus on rounding out your board with other key units and enhancing your synergy.
-
Directly Level to 9: If you prefer a more aggressive approach, push straight to level 9 to search for a two-star Jinx, which provides a significant power spike for your team.
Tank Choice 🛡️:
-
Primary Tank: Loris
Utilize Loris or Renni as your primary tank for the composition. He is effective at level 2, providing sufficient durability for your team. -
Alternatively, you can transfer Loris’s items to Garen at level 2 if you prefer to leverage Garen’s capabilities in the frontline.
Secondary Carry with Augment: 🔥
-
Rumbke as Second Carry:
If you have access to the Ambusher emblem, consider using it on Rumble as your secondary carry. This can increase her effectiveness, allowing her to contribute significantly in battles. -
Augment Trait - Reunion:
This composition pairs well with the Reunion Augment Trait. Utilizing it can enhance your unit effectiveness, providing additional stats or abilities that help your carries shine.
Summary 📈
This composition strategy is centered around leveraging strong early-game economy and slow-rolling for critical units to ensure a powerful late-game presence. By focusing on Ambusher, Jinx, and Rumble while utilizing Loris or Garen as your tank, you create a solid team capable of dominating mid to late-game. Stay adaptable, and keep an eye on your economy and unit transitions for the best results!
⚠️ IN PATCH 13.3, DON’T PLAY CAMILLE 3! 🚫
Renata Reroll
How to play
Strategy for Building a Strong Composition around Sentinel and Visionary
Objective:
Our goal is to create a powerful team composition centered around the Sentinel and Visionary traits. This setup will allow us to maintain high health as we progress through the early game and set up for a strong mid to late game transition.
Phase 1: Early Game (Levels 1-6)
-
Focus on Strong Early Units: At the start, prioritize establishing a strong board by incorporating Sentinel and Visionary champions. The key units to look for during this phase are:
-
Renata: Great for her utility and synergy within the composition.
-
Rell: Provides essential frontline resilience.
-
-
Objective: Aim to reach level 6 while preserving as much health as possible. This will allow you to maintain your economy while positioning yourself for a stronger mid-game.
Phase 2: Mid Game (Level 6-7)
-
Slow Roll Strategy: Once you hit level 6, begin slow rolling to maximize your chances of finding critical units, particularly focusing on:
-
Renata (2 stars)
-
Rell (2 stars)
-
-
Goal: Achieve level 3 of these key units to enhance your board's power and stability.
Phase 3: Late Game (Level 8-9/10)
-
Final Board Composition: As you approach levels 9 and 10, start adding additional units to complete your final board. Potential additions include:
-
Viktor: Brings significant damage output.
-
Mel: Provides additional utility and support.
-
-
Optional Units: While you can also aim for a 3-star Morgana and Vex, they are not essential to the main strategy and can be deprioritized based on your current board and health situation.
Emblems and Synergies:
Utilizing the Sentinel and Visionary emblems enhances your board, providing increased durability and damage output. Focus on acquiring these emblems to solidify your strategy and reinforce your team's strengths.
Conclusion: By structuring your gameplay around the Sentinel and Visionary traits, you can create a formidable composition capable of reaching higher placements. Focus on strong early units, slow roll for key champions, and transition smoothly into a powerful late-game board with Viktor or Mel, adjusting as necessary for optimal performance.
Heimerdinger & Corki (version 1)
Heimerdinger & Corki (version 2)
Heimerdinger & Corki (version 3)
How to play
Composition Strategy Overview
In this strategy, we aim to create a strong composition focused on Academy and Sentinel traits while also allowing flexibility through emblems. Here’s a clear guide to executing this setup effectively:
Trait Strategy:
- Core Traits:
- Aim to build 4 Academy and 4 Sentinel. If possible, enhance your strength further with emblems to activate 5 Academy or 6 Sentinel. This flexibility allows for multiple build paths based on in-game circumstances.
Key Unit Placement:
-
Jayce as Frontline:
- Position Jayce at the front line. Equip him with items like Bloodthirster and Sterak’s Gage to maximize his durability and damage output. Despite being a frontliner, Jayce can also act as a secondary carry thanks to his versatility.
-
Backline Carry:
- Depending on your item availability and the flow of the game, you can further enhance Jayce's effectiveness by equipping him with damage items like Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, and Shojin.
Itemization Considerations:
- Flexible Itemization:
- Keep in mind that Academy champions may require different items in each match. Thus, it is essential to play flexibly and adjust your item choices accordingly, which can be challenging but is necessary for success.
Rolling Strategy:
- Rolling at Level 8:
- Focus on reaching level 8, where your primary objective is to get Heimerdinger to level 2. This upgrade is critical as it enables your team to progress smoothly to levels 9 and 10, granting you more options and flexibility.
Secondary Carries and Tanks:
-
Second Carry:
- At level 8, consider adding Corki as a secondary carry. His synergy with the composition and ability to deal damage can significantly enhance your overall team strength.
-
Tank Selection:
- Utilize Illaoi as your tank. She provides solid frontline capabilities while complementing the overall composition with her healing and crowd control.
Limitations on Visionary Trait:
- Trait Activation:
- Limit your use of the Visionary trait to either 8 or 4/2 configurations. This approach ensures that your focus remains on maximizing the effectiveness of your Academy and Sentinel units.
Summary
This composition emphasizes flexibility and adaptability, leveraging the strengths of Academy and Sentinel traits. By focusing on Jayce and Heimerdinger, while also considering secondary carries like Corki, you will create a well-rounded team. Stay vigilant about your item choices and unit placements to maximize your chances of success in each match!
[BONUS COMPOSITION] Heimerdinger & Malzahar
[BONUS COMPOSITION] Heimerdinger & Malzahar
How to play
With the recent changes, removing 8x Visionary and shifting the buff to 6x (granting Abilities heal an ally for 18% of damage dealt) could open up new strategies, especially for champions like Heimerdinger. Notably, Malzahar also received buffs in the previous patch, making this composition even more appealing. 🌟ON PBE IN LOBBY MASTER+ i take TOP1 and TOP4 Malzahar take 15k DMG and Heimerdinger with anomaly 15-20
In general, this change is too OP, only the front is missing, but at level 9 you can give it to Jayce or combine it with the Sentinet or Blackrose emblem.
Early Game Strategy
Start by using Morgana or Vex as your temporary carry. For frontline, add Rell with tank items for stability. 🛡️ Your main goal is to rush to Level 8, where you’ll decide on the exact direction of your comp based on the available options.
Key Compositions at Level 8
1️⃣ Core Setup: 6x Visionary + 4x Sentinel
- If you have an emblem, you can give it to Jayce and replace Singed. This setup ensures a balanced mix of healing and frontline strength. ⚔️
2️⃣ Popular Option: Blackrose Variant
- Focus on 4x Blackrose (avoid 5x unless you have an emblem for free activation, as 5x is underwhelming).
Mid Game Goals
At this level 8, aim to roll for Heimerdinger to 2⭐ and your primary tank (Elise or Illaoi) to 2⭐. 🧙♂️🛡️
Late Game Goals
After stabilizing at Level 8, push to Level 9 and add Malzahar (ideally 2⭐, or at least hit 1 copy) to activate 6x Visionary. For Level 10, consider adding a 6-cost unit or Jayce for additional power. 🚀
With this setup, you’ll have a strong, flexible comp that can adapt to the game’s needs. Good luck climbing! 🎉
