How to Play: Data Explorer

• Unlockables: T-Hex, Orianna, Graves, Fizz
  • T-Hex: Field 7 Star levels of Piltover and be level 8.
  • Orianna: Field a Piltover unit with 2 items. Complete this early if you intend on playing Orianna early on, if not try to delay it so you don’t have to hold 2 gold on your bench.
  • Graves: Field 2 item TF. Graves is a great item holder for T-Hex that you will naturally find with Bilgewater. Sometimes the bilge shop will give you Graves 3 and it’s worth playing for to eventually feed to the T-Hex.
  • Fizz: Field 5 unique BIilgewater or Yordle units on level 7. 5 Bilgewater is a key econ engine for this comp on Stage 4 as it is very expensive and Fizz is a decent unit. The extra bilge items serve as combat power on MF who is strong on the final board.
    
• Gameplan: Utilize Bilgewater to build a strong early mid game board. Bilgewater can either provide items or extra econ to hit with. Graves 3 is something you might natural just playing into Bilgewater and is a great target for the T-Hex to eat. Aggressively hold Piltover units for the T-Hex unlock. This is a very hard comp to play that is constantly transitioning around its strongest board until it can fully transition into 4 Gunslinger T-Hex.
  • Stage 1-2: Hold every Bilgewater unit and be ready to slam on TF at 1-4 if it means a 3 Bilge opener. The stronger you are, the more Silver Serpents you’ll farm, the more you’ll scale into late game.
  • Stage 3: Don’t be afraid to roll on 3-2 or 3-5 if you have pairs or are missing 1 unit to complete 5 Bilgewater. 5 Bilgewater is a great value engine in the mid game and should give you items and econ. If you can level for 7 Bilge on 3-5, do so. The amount of Silver Serpents you farm is worth it and the higher tier loot is valuable. Try to unlock Orianna on 3-7.
  • Stage 4: Toggle in and out of 7 Bilge to see stronger items on your turn. This is APM heavy and takes practice. Make sure to hold enough star levels of Piltover units for T-Hex unlock. Most of the time your board will be 5 Bilge + whatever is strong. This comp is constantly transitioning its board as it scales and reaches T-Hex. Try to unlock T-Hex on 4-7.
  • Stage 5+: Unlock T-Hex at the latest 5-1. Slowly make your way to the final board. There are a lot of targets for T-Hex to eat, Graves 3 is just something that you might natural into as the game progresses. Eating Ornn with bad Artifacts is a good alternative.
    
• Tips:
  • Teamplanner every Piltover unit to unlock T-Hex.
  • To access higher quality Bilgewater items, you must field 7 Bilge when you refresh the black market.
  • Golden Doubloon is very strong and worth picking up early. Requires 5 Bilge to see.
  • A lot of reps on this comp as toggling Bilge can be overwhelming in terms of decision making and APM.
  • Any high concentration of stats is good for the T-Hex to eat.
  • Hustler and Going Long allow you to hold Piltover and Bilge units without losing econ.
