How to play Built Different - Set 13

Build Different Strategy Overview 🌟

This strategy gives you an early advantage ⚡ and a strong late game 🌌, thanks to Ambessa, which is currently very powerful. It might be a bit challenging for new players due to its reliance on champion knowledge, but I'm here to help you!

Version 1/2

Early Game Strategy 🕒

• Build a Strong Board:
  • Focus on creating the strongest board possible while aiming to reach levels 4 and 5. 🚀
  • If you maintain a high win streak 🎉, you can level up to 6 after the golems to secure 30 economy 💰.
  • This tactic is only worthwhile if you’re strong enough in the lobby to win the next two fights. 🥇

Rolling Strategy 🎲

• Rolling at Level 7:

  • Start by rolling a bit at level 7 to achieve unit upgrades 🔄.
  • If you have a very high entry threshold, you can opt to level up to 9 due to the strength provided by the Built Different augment.

• Focus on Level 8:

  • Generally, concentrate on rolling at level 8 to find stronger units 🎯 that serve as your primary carries, such as Twitch 🐭 and Corki 🛩️, while using Illaoi 🐙 or Dr.Mundo 🩹 as your tank.
  • Double Vi 🥊 can be an interesting addition; although it may seem unconventional, her ability to knock back opponents adds significant value. Equip her with items like Thieves Gloves 🧤.

Late Game Strategy 🌕

• Building Carries:
  • As your last carry, develop Mordekaiser 🛡️ for additional strength.
  • Don’t forget to include Mel 🌼 or Viktor ⚗️. While they do not benefit from the augment, they are inherently strong units within the game.

Version 3

Core Items for Ambessa 🧰:

• Giant Slayer (GS) 🗡️ and Infinity Edge ✨ are typically strong choices, especially without "Build Different." However, with this augment, they can be even more viable.
• You can prioritize GS or Infinity if you’re able to slam them effectively.

Early Game Strategy 🌅:

• Build a Strong Board: Don’t hesitate to prioritize tank/bruiser or AD items early on. With "Build Different," you will frequently swap champions, so the strength of your board is crucial as you progress to 4 or 5-cost champions.
• Slam Items Wisely: Always equip these items on stronger champions (aim for at least 3-cost or higher star level) 🌟.

Itemization Philosophy 💭:

• No Bad Items: Most items have their value; focus on creating a strong board rather than perfect itemization. All champions will have items that suit them in "Build Different."
• Item Placement on Ambessa: Follow the item strategy outlined for Ambessa for optimal performance.

Champion Placement 🧙:

• Utilize Duplicate Champions: It's okay to have two of the same champions on your board. Normally not standard practice, but it’s effective here since you won’t activate traits! ⚖️

Stay Flexible 🔄:

• Retain Traits Without Activation: If you start with champions like Zeri, Camille, and Singed, keep those traits in mind (unactivated) and swap them with higher-cost champions when possible.
  • For example:
    • Zeri → Kog'Maw 🐛
    • Singed → Leona 🛡️
    • Kog'Maw → Twitch/Corki 🧨
    • Leona → Illaoi/Mundo 🐙

Power Spike Management ⚡:

• If you level up Jayce 🛡️ to 2-star, consider taking items off Corki 🎆 and placing them on Jayce for a significant power spike.

Leveling Up ⬆️:

• Aim for Level 10: While achieving level 10 is optimal, it’s often challenging to reach that point to deploy full compositions (including Viktor) ⚙️. If you obtain him earlier, replace Jinx or Illaoi with Viktor. 🌟
• If you acquire Mel 🌼 and have the opportunity for her to cast her ability 12 times (to activate her passive), be sure to utilize her effectively for a significant advantage.

Additional Item Placement 🧩:

• AP Items: Equip these on Malzahar 🐍 or Viktor ⚗️.
• Tank Items: Position these in the front line 🛡️.
• AD Items: Allocate these to Jinx 🎆 or Corki/ Jayce depending on their star levels 🌟.
