Hello! I'm Frobei and I've been Challenger multiple sets and in this guide, I will share the most important information if you want to optimize your economy depending on your comp.
Keep in mind this is meant to be a cheatsheet and you should watch my Youtube video to have the full context. Currently the video is being produced so don't hesitate to follow me here: https://www.youtube.com/@frobei
STAGE 2 STREAKS
TL;DR
- Your stage 2-3 fight should tell you what streak you want to aim (if you lose the fight, aim for 2 more losses and if you win the fight, aim for two more wins)
- If you can't streak: prioritize gold interest
- Do not push
- Sell your bench to reach the next interest threshold if needed
- Avoid most 3 losses and 2 wins situations, you'll have the worst econ of the lobby
HOW TO ECON TO PLAY FAST 8 COMPS
Use this strategy to play comps like Twisted Fate, Pentakill Exec, etc
STAGE 2
- Aim to maximize your econ and health at the same time
- Push lvl 4 at 2-1 and push lvl 5 at 2-5 IF YOU CAN WIN MORE FIGHTS
- If your board is weak, don't push and maximize your gold
- GOAL: Be level 5 with at least 30 gold after defeating Krugs
STAGE 3
- Push lvl 6 at 3-2 if you have at least 30g left after
- If not then push lvl 6 at stage 3-5
STAGE 4
- Push lvl 7 at stage 4-1
- Push lvl 8 at stage 4-5 then roll to find your 4 cost units
Note: you can push sooner if you want to defend a winstreak OR if you have more gold thanks to an augment or thanks to the portal.
1 COST REROLL COMPS
This is the strategy for 1 cost reroll comps like Annie, Yasuo or Olaf.
STAGE 2:
- Play with your champions, don't try to lose all fights, in fact, try to win as many fights as possible with your cheap board
- NEVER BUY EXP
STAGE 3:
- At stage 3-1, roll down to find your 3 star 1 cost carry
- Stay lvl 5 and make sure to win your fights
- With the winstreak you'll catch up the gold you spent earlier
Then follow the same strategy as the fast 8 comps
Note: NEVER PUSH if that puts you under 30g because it becomes too hard to rebuild your economy after
2 COST REROLL COMPS
This is the strategy for 2 cost reroll comps like Seraphine, Jax or Senna
STAGE 2:
- Aim for the loss streak and save as much gold as possible, even if it means you go low in health
- NEVER BUY EXP
- You should be lvl 4with 40 gold after defeating krugs
STAGE 3:
- At stage 3-2 you push lvl 6 and you roll to stabilize
- You need to find your headliner and a 2 star frontline
- you should win stage 3 fights so rebuild your econ to 50g
- if you are contested OR you are not looking for 4 cost units (like Ahri and Akali to play Seraphine KDA), slowroll everyturn for your 3 stars
- if not contested OR you need to find 4 cost units, slowly push lvl 7
Stage 4:
- push lvl 7 at stage 4-2
- slow roll to find your 3 stars and your 4 cost units
- once you find your 3 stars, aim to push lvl 8 and 9 to win the game
Note: NEVER PUSH if that puts you under 30g because it becomes too hard to rebuild your economy after
3 COST REROLL COMPS
This is the strategy for 3 cost reroll comps like Yone, Vex or Riven
You have 2 different strategies: the "come back" one and the "normal one"
** STRATEGY 1: THE COME BACK STRATEGY**
This strategy is good if you have early augments like What Doesn't Kill You or Vampirism, however it's riskier and can lead easily to an 8th place
STAGE 2:
- Aim for the loss streak and save as much gold as possible, even if it means you go low in health
- NEVER BUY EXP
- You should be lvl 4with 40 gold after defeating krugs
STAGE 3:
- Slowly buy exp if you are above 50g
- 3-5 Push lvl 7 and roll down to stabilize your board with the 3 cost headliner you need
- Once it's stabilized STOP ROLLING, you need to rebuild your econ to do another roll down
Stage 4:
-
do another roll down at 4-1 to find your 3 star 3 cost champions or your other upgrades so you can survive this stage and potentially go lvl 8 and 9 to win the game
STRATEGY 2: THE NORMAL STRATEGY
This strategy is less risky but you can get contested by someone who applies the first strategy
STAGE 2 & 3:
- Play as if you were going to play a fast 8 comp
Stage 4:
- push at lvl 7 and roll to find your 3 cost headliner
- stabilize your board without going under 30g
- build your gold back to 50g, expect to lose fights but you saved tons of HP earlier so it's fine
- slow roll for your 3 stars
Stage 5:
- if you haven't found your 3 stars yet, roll down to find them
Note: NEVER PUSH if that puts you under 30g because it becomes too hard to rebuild your economy after
