Leveling Pattern: 

Conditions:

• QSS components
• Evenshroud required
• Early Bilgewater
• Lots of items
• Artifacts are very strong

How to Play:

• Unlockables: Rift Herald, Mel (optional)
  • Rift Herald: Field 2+ Void for 2 player combats and be level 7. This happens naturally as you play this comp, the earlier the better as Rift Herald is very strong.
  • Mel: Ambessa dies in combat with an item equip. This is optional but a very easy to unlock and premium Noxus unit to give us 3 Noxus.
• Gameplan: Play around your strongest available melee carry and save HP while collecting items for GP and a duo carry, ideally Bel’Veth. Utilize the Bilgewater shop to buy dupes and GP copies. Do not roll on level 7 for GP 3, it will happen naturally at level 8 as you roll for Bel’Veth, Ambessa and Rift Herald.
  • Stage 1-2: Play around Qiyana or Briar 2 with a strong item slam for GP. It should be easy to be strong around Briar and Qiyana as they are premium early game units. If you have a Bilge opener play into that.
  • Stage 3: Get Bilgewater in as soon as possible to start farming serpents for GP copies. Briar and Qiyana will start to fall off around this point. You can considering rolling on 3-5 at level 7 to stabilize if you are lacking HP.
  • Stage 4: Level to 8 on 4-2 and roll for upgraded 4 costs. It will be easier to stabilize around Bel’Veth and Ambessa until you find GP 3 so itemize them until you reach GP 3.
  • Stage 5+: Continue to roll for GP 3 and all of your 4 costs. Leveling to 9 for a Fiddlesticks is very strong but expensive and not not as important as upgrading your board. Do not level until you’ve upgraded your 4 costs at a minimum. If you’re close to GP 3 find him before leveling.
• Tips:
  • If you have 5 bilge early but not a good normal bilge spot, this comp is a great alternative.
  • Do not buy anything from the Bilge shop other than GP, dupes and 15 serpent stat shards. Cycle through your shop efficiently as to not get stuck with 4 shop options you do not wish to buy.
  • Ideally you have 2 QSS, one for GP, one of Bel’Veth but if you only have 1 prioritize QSS Bel’Veth.
  • If it is not realistic to find GP 3, prioritize itemizing Ambessa and pushing levels instead. Ambessa is slightly less powerful than GP 3. If you are unable to play for GP 3 drop Bilge units for higher quality 4 and 5 costs.
  • Item Priority: GP 3 > Bel’Veth > Ambessa > Herald > GP 2
  • Evenshroud is much better than Last Whisper due all of our carries getting value from the AoE sunder.
  • Bel’Veth Void Mods: Spitter Spines > Leeching Nucleus >>> Adrenaline Modules
