FULL COMP (lvl 8)
The final comp at lvl 8 can have many forms. For instance, if you have a Shadow Isle (SI) emblem, you can play 6 SI.
The strength of this comp is that you can place many late game units to make your team scale and win the late game: Aatrox, Heimer, Ryze, Ahri, and Ksante are great choices.
Prioritize stuff for Kalista then Gwen then Senna.
GAMEPLAN
You have two ways to play this comp. Either you reroll Kalista 3 at lvl 7 or you play with Kalista 2 and you rush to the lvl 8 / 9 to find 5 cost units.
Stage 2
- Play strong board. This comp requires you to apply pressure with a strong board and is not a comp to play from behind.
- Always keep one bow to make guinsoo. Don't make statikk first or anything that requires a bow
- Ideally you want to play around Challengers because they'll help you have a high tempo (see early game example section)
Stage 3
- Push lvl 6 at 3-2 and roll a little bit if needed to find 2-star units.
- It's fine if you don't have Kalista yet, but you need to have many 2-star units if you want to win fights
- Stack up your econ to push lvl 7 at stage 4-1 (or 3-5 in an econ portal like Scuttle Puddle)
Stage 4
- Push lvl 7 at 3-1 and roll until you find the comp shown in the mid game section
- Make sure to have AT LEAST Kalista 2 and Gwen with some stuff on her.
- You can rely on the challenger tree to play strong board, but always keep one Maokai and one Viego on the bench just in case you highroll one Senna or a SI emblem.
Stage 5
- Either you decide to reroll for Kalista 3 but do it only if you are uncontested AND you already have 5 Kalista without rolling
- OR you keep Kalista 2 and decide to push lvl 8 to roll for Gwen 2 and potentially some 5 cost units.
EARLY GAME (Board lvl 5)
Make sure to play around challengers or ionia during the early game. Unfortunately the early game around SI is not that reliable unless you have an SI emblem.
MID GAME (Board lvl 7)
Kaisa can be an excellent item holder for Senna later
LEGEND: URF
URF is strong in this meta because there are many powerful emblems. However, you won't always get a SI emblem so you have to be able to play flexibly.
