Conditions:
- Sylas Unlock
- Lots of money
- Prefer Yordle start
- Item Augments
How to Play: Data Explorer
- Unlockables: Sylas, Shurimans
- Sylas: Sell 2 Star Garen and be level 9. This does not all have to be done in one turn but it is quite difficult to do if you do not have enough econ.
- Shurimans: Renekton is a great duo carry, Nasus is a great tank, and Xerath is the highest possible cap.
- Gameplan: This comp will require multiple source of econ, from either augments or traits. Many high level players pivot into this board from a 6/8 Yordle early-mid game. This board can win lobbies but it is hard to get to reliably.
- Stage 1-2: Play strongest board or hold Yordle units and try to play around 4 Yordles + Arcanist. Setting up a way to guarantee 6 yordle on stage 3 is very good.
- Stage 3: Try to slot in 6 yordle early in stage 3 to start farming rolls if possible. Otherwise play strongest board to save HP.
- Stage 4: If you are healthy and played into the Yordle opener, playing 8 yordle for value throughout stage 4 is very good but not strong. If you are low HP rolldown on 4-2 and hope to find an Annie and a frontline. The comp is very hard to play when missing either of those pieces as Tibbers is your main tank and Annie does a lot of damage.
- Stage 5+: Go level 9 as soon as possible for Sylas 2 and Annie 2. Prioritize 2 mana on Annie, Tank items on Tibbers and defensive items on Sylas.
- Tips:
- This comp is best played from a tempo Yordles opener. Having access to extra rolls from 6 Yordle and gold from 8 Yordle makes it easier to find Garen 2 to sell him.
- If you can’t go level 9 with this comp, pivoting is a good option. Playing this comp without Annie is very difficult as she is both your frontline and back line.
- Annie’s main goal is to get her first cast off, she needs at a minimum 2 mana items. Damage items are too slow on her. Tibbers is incredibly tanky and worth itemizing.
