Nami: Spear of Shojin / Jeweled Gauntlet / Void Staff (Note: "Void Staff" is a League of Legends term. If this was meant to be the Magic Penetration item, the Golden Spatula equivalent is Statikk Shiv or Ionic Spark. If it was meant for AP scaling, it would be Archangel's Staff).

• 3-6: Level up to 7 and gradually swap your champions into the composition.

• 4-2: Level up to 8. Refresh the shop to search for Nami, Aurelion Sol, and The Mighty Mech, aiming to upgrade them to 2 stars.

Comeback Story

Champion Unlock Requirements

In this specific game mode, certain champions must be "unlocked" through specific actions:

Diana: Have a 2-star Leona equipped with 3 items; requires Level 6.

Sylas: Sell a 2-star Jarvan IV, a 2-star Garen, and a 2-star Lux.

Renekton: Win 2/4/5 matches in a row while fielding Azir. (Note: Difficulty increases with every Shurima champion unlocked!)

Bard: Reroll the shop 4 times before the Stage 2 Shared Draft (Carousel).

Operation Strategy

The goal is to unlock Bard early to maximize value, then power-level to hit your high-cost units.

Early Game: Aim to unlock Bard before Round 2-3. It is often best to go on a loss streak early to save gold and accumulate the necessary shop refreshes.

Stage 2-1: Push to Level 4.

Stage 2-5: Push to Level 5.

Stage 3-5: Push to Level 7. At this point, find a 2-star Leona and give her 3 items to immediately unlock Diana.

Stage 4-2: Push to Level 8. Upgrade Diana to 2-star to stabilize your board.

Late Game: Save your gold to hit Level 9, then begin rolling for 5-cost Legendary units to cap out your board.

Team Build: 4 Juggernaut, 3 Noxus

Primary Carry: Bel’Veth

Unlocking Skarner

To unlock Skarner, you must field a non-Tank unit equipped with a Gargoyle Stoneplate during combat. This requires Level 7.

Operation Strategy

Early Game: Use a 2 Juggernaut, 2 Longshot, 2 Piltover opener to transition through the early stages. It is highly recommended to prioritize building Gargoyle Stoneplate early so you are ready to unlock Skarner as soon as you hit Level 7.

Mid Game: Once you reach Level 7, place the Gargoyle Stoneplate on Briar to fulfill the condition and unlock Skarner.

Late Game: Maintain your HP and push for Level 8 to find your essential 4-cost units.

Finishing the Comp: At Level 9, add Lucian & Senna, Kindred, or Shyvana to complete the final version of the board.

Unlock Conditions for Galio & Poppy

Poppy: Field in combat: a Demacian or a Yordle with 2 items equipped

Operation Strategy

• Suggested leveling pace: 3-2 → Go to level 6; 4-1 → Go to level 7.

• At level 7, if you find Teemo, you can transition into 2 Longshot + 2 Yordle.

• At level 8, look for Garen and Lux, then unlock Galio.

SET 16 Best Team Comps (Updated on 11/27 for SET 16)

Vayne & Nautilus

This build focuses on rerolling at level 6, with Vayne as your primary DPS and Nautilus as your main tank. Prioritize defensive items so Vayne can survive longer and continuously deal damage. Core items to prioritize before Sunfire include those that cut healing, enabling Vayne to secure kills quickly, while Guinsoo’s Rageblade accelerates her damage output.

Recommended start: If you acquire Vayne and Nautilus early, this build is ideal.

Ionia Assemble

This build focuses on assembling a full Ionia team, aiming to 3-star Xinzhao, Yasuo, and Yorick first. Yone serves as the main damage dealer, with a delayed-scaling strategy—perfect for players who enjoy slow-burn, late-game-focused builds.

Recommended start: Begin this build if you have multiple Xinzhao Augments or early copies of Yasuo, Xinzhao, and Yorick.

Viego, The Ruin King

This build revolves around building Viego as the team’s carry. The key is Viego’s Augment, which empowers him to carry the team even at 1-star, making this strategy simple and effective. It does not require leveling to 9, and games can be completed comfortably at level 8.

Recommended start: If you acquire Viego’s Augment early, this build is highly recommended.
