Conditions:

  • Lots of items
  • Warmog’s Armor is preferred
  • Access to level 9

How to Play:

  • Unlockables: Volibear, Ryze, Kennen, Kobuko
    • Volibear: Field a unit with 3400 or more HP at level 8. A turn with 4 bruisers in is a great way to complete this.
    • Kobuko: Field 6 Star levels in Bruisers, Yordles or Invokers at level 6.
    • Kennen: Field 5 Star levels in Ionians, Yordles or Defenders at level 5.
    • Ryze: Play 3 region traits at level 9. Kennen and Kobuko are required to complete this unlock.
  • Gameplan: Take econ augments to go level 9 as quickly as possible for Ryze. Prioritize belts on carousel to unlock Volibear. The base board unlocks Ryze naturally and the available synergies are great for Ryze.
    • Stage 1-2: Play around AP or AD Bruiser item slams and be as strong as possible. Play around bruiser front line. Saving HP early game is key.
    • Stage 3: Continue to play strongest and click augments that enable you to go level 9. Ryze 2 is the gameplan.
    • Stage 4: If you can’t fast 9 roll on 8 and stabilize around Lissandra 2 with Ryze items and Voli 1. By this point you should have your 3 cost unlocks and be playing around their strength.
    • Stage 5+: Level to 9 and find Ryze 2 and Voli 2. If you manage to go 10 a second Ryze 2 is a great way to cap.
  • Tips:
    • Remember to hold extra bruisers for an easier time activating Volibear.
    • Remember to hold star levels for Kobuko.
    • Slam everything you can for tempo in this comp, your main advantage will be flexibility as this line can carry around most 5 costs you find.
    • Lifting Competition is the best augment for this comp as it provides frontline items and econ to go level 9.
