Leveling Strategies

How to Reach Level 8

Key Knowledge:

• Managing health and economy is essential for effective gameplay.
• If you’re winning consistently, prioritize rushing levels. However, if health is declining, sacrifice 20 economy at Level 6 to strengthen your board.

Tips:

• Mid-Game Prioritization:
  • Don’t skip valuable units from other mid-game compositions (e.g., prioritize strong units like Kog’Maw, Swain, or Twisted Fate 2-star).
  • Avoid over-committing to a single strategy if your board requires diversity.
• Strong Start: If you start with a carry like Draven, prioritize traits like "Family" and build early items like Morellonomicon or Red Buff.

Pathways:

1. If you’re dominating until Stage 3.1, rush to Level 7 and evaluate opponents’ boards. Continue to Level 8 if health and economy allow.
2. If struggling, roll 3-5 times at Level 6 or 7 to stabilize with upgrades before pushing for Level 8.

How to Reach Level 9

• Strong Board: If your board is strong, save up to 50 gold and prioritize hitting Level 9 to unlock powerful units.
• Risk Management: Avoid going to Level 9 prematurely unless you’re confident in your ability to adapt and stabilize.
• Roll Strategy: At Level 9, roll strategically while maintaining a minimum of 10 gold to find impactful legendary units and upgrade core carries.

Final Push to Level 10

• Typically requires:
  • At least one main carry at 2-star (e.g., Jinx or Caitlyn).
  • A solid frontline of at least two units.
• Sacrifice health only if it allows you to create a game-winning board at Level 10.
• EXP Augments: Utilize EXP-enhancing augments to accelerate this process.

Augments and Their Impact on Leveling

• EXP: Place at least two characters on Level 3 to reduce HP loss.
• Cutting Corners: Spend less gold on leveling, allowing for strategic rolls to stabilize your board.
• Late Game Specialist: Use this augment to gain a massive economy boost for Level 9 transitions.
• Reach the Summit: Focus on skipping Level 9 by saving up and directly pushing to Level 10.
• Tiny Titans: Provides additional health to stabilize while building economy for Level 9.
• Epoch+: Gain XP and rerolls at every stage, enhancing flexibility.
• Cluttered Mind / Clear Mind: Adapt your playstyle to maximize these augments.
• Explosive Growth: Utilize for burst XP gains when needed.

Key Strategies for Winning at Level 9

1. Stabilize your board by upgrading core units and securing essential items.
2. Roll efficiently to find 2-star legendaries or other game-changing units.
3. If health is low but the economy is strong, consider all-in rolling to recover before stabilizing back to 30-40 gold.

Playing Around Meta

• Monitor the patch to identify which characters are currently strongest. This will influence your final board and item allocation.
• Explore up to six versions of the legendary board to adapt based on what’s available.
