Stage-by-Stage Tips

Tips

Core units are Aphelios + Diana + Sentinel + Mama Beak. Red Buff is BIS Aphelios but you can also play Rageblade build. Play Scuttlecrab + Rakan over Brambleback if no melee items. Can duo carry Zyra or Morgana if extra AP items.

Stage 2

Open with a strong win streak AD tempo around Rapidfires. BIS is somewhat fake in this comp so slam aggressively to win.

Stage 3

Comp can use many items so take item augment if you don't have one yet. Mama Beak can be a strong carry here if you have Riftbeasts online.

Stage 4

Level to 8 and roll heavily for Aphelios and the 4 costs. Only push for 9 once you have almost all your 4 costs upgraded.
