Conditions:

How to Play: Data Explorer
- Unlockables: Leblanc, Mel, Shurimans, Sylas (optional)
- Leblanc: Field 2 item Sion. Leblanc is the best early game AP holder and is easy to unlock if you find Sion.
- Mel: Have 1 item Ambessa die in combat. Complete this as soon as possible as Mel 1 is decently strong.
- Shurimans: An early Azir is game winning. Xerath is the highest cap. Nasus is a great tank. Renekton is good if you have excess AD items.
- Sylas: Sell 2 star Garen at level 9. Sylas is the highest cap and should be played for if your goal is to go level 9.
- Gameplan: Only look to play this comp if you can fast 9. The easiest way is from a Noxus opener as 5 and 7 Noxus are strong in the early mid game.
- Stage 1-2: Complete Leblanc’s Unlock on 1-4 if possible. Play around Leblanc and 3 Noxus ideally, if not any AP backline will do. Try to save HP.
- Stage 3: Continue to add Noxus units as you level and play strong, if your spot doesn’t look like it can go fast 9 look to pivot away from this line.
- Stage 4: Roll on 4-2 for 1 Ambessa. Mel 1 is good at killing units on stage 4 if you have an ok frontline. 7 Noxus is a cheap and easy way to be stable. If you find an Azir play for multiple Shurimans if possible.
- Stage 5+: Look to go level 9 for Mel 2 and upgrades. The version above is highest cap but there are many legendaries that can be flexed in such as Lucian & Senna, Kindred, Xerath and Zilean.
- Tips:
- 5/7 Noxus can serve as a pseudo frontline while you stabilize at level 9. Ideally the only 3 Noxians you play are Mel, Swain and Ambessa.
- It is essential to have enough money to roll for Ambessa 1 plus a few upgrades at 4-2 and still be able to go level 9.
- There are a lot of units you can stabilize around at level 9. The hard part is putting together a front line. Taric and Skarner are great units to flex in here.
- Mel needs a duo carry, Xerath is the best one but almost any other AP 5 cost or Seraphine can carry along side her.
- Sylas is the highest capping unit you can play for and should be chased with this set up.
