Level to 4 on 2-1 if you are strong/have a copy of the unit you are rerolling + a slammable item

Level to 5 on 2-5 if you are strong, if not make econ (20)

Level to 6 on 3-2 and roll to stabilize. You just slowroll from here. 

Level 7 by 4-5 if possible (after you get 3*)

Conditions:

  • 2-1 Econ augment that ideally provides rolls
  • 3 Ixtal by 3-2 at the very latest, ideally 2-1 or 2-3
  • 2 sets of Ap items for either Milio 3, Nidalee or Ori 3
  • Strong frontline items on Neeko
  • Extremely Skill Testing and execution heavy
  • If you do not reach Brock you are likely bot 4

How to Play: Data Explorer

  • Unlockables: Bard, Orianna, Nidalee, Skarner, Brock
    • Bard: Roll 3 times before stage 2 carousel. This is best done by having an econ augment that provides rolls. Augments like calculated loss, epoch and trade sector are great direction for a Bard game.
    • Orianna: Field a Piltover unit with 2 items. Complete this as soon as possible as Orianna is a strong unit.
    • Nidalee: Field 2 star Neeko with 3 at level 7. Consider leveling for Nidalee if you are too far from 3 stars and need to pivot to normal Ixtal. Gives access to 5 Ixtal for healing.
    • Skarner: Field a Marksman or Caster with a Chain Vest item at level 7. Same as Nidalee. Heavily prio in AD lobbies.
    • Brock: Collect 500 Sunshards throughout the game. This should naturally happen as you play this comp.
  • Gameplan: This is one of the hardest comps in TFT history, one mistake in selecting your quest and you can set yourself behind in a massive way. Identifying if you need to cash out at 200 Shards for tempo to realistically hit Brock or if you can greed for a greater cash out is also a hard decision. Aim to unlock Bard on 2-3 and 5 loss for item priority and free rolls from Bard. Be strong at the latest 3-3 unless you have a loss streak Ixtal Quest. Prioritize your quest as they can be a huge win condition. Every 3 star you can greed scales up Bard.
    • Stage 1-2: Hold Ixtal units and roll for Bard on 2-3. Aim to lose the first 3 rounds of stage 2 for carousel prio on tears, rods and potentially Milio. Roll 3 times on 2-3 to unlock Bard.
    • Stage 3: Roll aggressively on 3-2 to find an upgraded board, Ixtal and unlock Orianna. It is important to be strong from 3-2 starting on as player damage has been increased in stage 3. Prioritize your Ixtal quest.
    • Stage 4: Slowroll for 3 stars to continue scaling Bard. Play around realistic Ixtal quest to not lock yourself out. Plan around unlocking Brock. Unlock Nidalee as soon as possible and itemize her with leftovers. Go 7 for after 3 starring Neeko and Bard for either 5 Ixtal, Swain, Taric or a random 5 cost.
    • Stage 5+: Level up and sub out lower value units for 5 costs/high value units like Taric and Swain. Brock should be unlocked by now. 5 Ixtal is fine to play if it involves playing Brock but Qiyana should never be on final board.
  • Tips:
    • This comp really spikes because of how strong econ from Bard is, Ixtal provides mid game value + scaling.
    • Nidalee is a great way to stabilize and should be played around.
    • Ideally lose the first 3 rounds of stage 2 to get carousel priority for tear/rod and potentially Milio.
    • We roll on 2-3 for Bard as we naturally level to 4 and have odds to see Milio.
    • Brock is the highest cap and should be played for. It is a very easy way to win.
    • Arcanist Bard is great as Arcanist spat gives a 20% mana refund on kill serving as both an damage and mana generation item.
    • The 200 Sunshard cash out table is good for how easy it is to achieve. Consider taking it if you are behind on tempo and HP. It is also the earliest acceptable cash out.
    • Alternating Win/Loss quests are very powerful but difficult to pull off. It takes a bit of practice to get right and a lot of scouting. If you manage to complete one you are likely to win the game.
