How to play Automata - Set 13

Let’s start with the fact that you shouldn’t play this composition without the Automata Emblem because you won’t be able to activate it at the maximum 6x level. Here’s a breakdown of the strategy and options for success:

Rolling Strategies

There are two main options depending on the lobby:

1. If no one is playing Kog’Maw:

   • Focus on leveling Kog’Maw to 3-stars at Level 7.

   • Blitzcrank serves as your main tank and should also be leveled up as high as possible.

2. If Kog’Maw is contested:

   • Play units at 2-stars and transition to Level 8.

   • Focus on stopping for Dr. Mundo and Twitch at 2-stars.

   • Rush to Level 9 to add Malzahar as your second main carry.

Level 9 and Beyond

• At Level 9, add Malzahar at 2-stars as your secondary carry.

• At Level 10, look to add powerful 6-cost units:

  • Viktor or Mell is the best option here due to his stun and high utility.

Late-Game Adjustments:

• You can replace Twitch and shift items to Warwick, but this is a risky move and should only be done when you’re ahead or need a final pivot.

Alternative Option: Nocturne 3

You can play Nocturne 3, but only if you have the "Artifactory" Augment. This setup is very item-dependent.

Must-Have Items:

• Rapid Firecannon

• Sniper Focus or Fishbones

Core Units

• Kog’Maw: Primary carry; focus on reaching 3-stars if uncontested.

• Blitzcrank: Main tank, critical for survivability

• Dr. Mundo: Mid-game tank option at 2-stars.

• Twitch: Secondary carry (can be replaced by Warwick late-game).

• Malzahar: Late-game secondary carry.

• Viktor: High-value unit at Level 10.

---

Summary

• Do not play this composition without the Automata Emblem.

• Roll for Kog’Maw 3-stars at Level 7 if uncontested or stabilize at Level 8 with 2-star units.

• Add Malzahar at Level 9 and Viktor at Level 10.

• Consider Nocturne 3 as a niche alternative with the right Augment and items.

Master your rolling strategies and transitions, and you’ll dominate with the Automata composition!
