How to Play: Data Explorer
- Unlockables: Brock, Nidalee, Skarner, Ryze (Optional)
- Brock: Collect 500 Sunshards throughout the game. This should naturally happen as you play this comp.
- 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.
- Ryze: Play 3 region traits at level 9. Ixtal Ryze has one of the highest caps in the game.
- Gameplan: There are a lot of boards you can play from Ixtal Cashouts Annie caps out very high and gives you a strong backline and frontline at the cost of 1 unit. AP variants are easier to play than AD as Millio holds AP items decently.
- Stage 1-2: Play 3 Ixtal and ideally find a loss streak quest. If you miss on a loss streak quest pick the easiest to complete and look again.
- Stage 3: You will likely be weak so a loss streak quest is nice or something that can be completed without impacting your ability to make econ. Prioritize quest completion.
- Stage 4: Ideally by 4-5 we have Brock, at the latest 5-1. Cash out when you need to be strong. An easy way to be strong is to hold on to Targon units and to unlock Skarner.
- Stage 5+: Go 9 and roll for 5 cost, Lucian & Senna are very good, as is Kindred. If you need to play into AP consider Zilean or Annie.
- Tips:
- Often times your best quests early game will be loss streak ones as they allow you to greed.
- If none of your quest are good pick the easiest one. If none of your quest are realistically completable cash out and restart a quest. You don’t need to reach 500 concurrent Sunshards, just 500 sunshards earned total.
- There is a lot of flexibility on this board, the only static unit is Brock.
- Almost any AD items are fine on backline. Kindred prefers auto attack based items such as Guinsoo’s and Kraken. Lucian & Senna prefer caster items such as Shojin and IE. Most AP backline options like double mana.
- Combat tends to be better as your cash out will likely give you items.
- 3 Ixtal is not necessary post cash out, if you are able to unlock Sylas drop Neeko for him.
- If you are able to unlock Nidalee she is very strong and worth playing around.
- Ixtal Ryze caps very high.
