Main Carry: Lux
Secondary Carry: Karma
Tank Champions: Swain / Xin Zhao

Recommended Item

Lux: Nashor's Tooth / Jeweled Gauntlet / Blue Buff
Karma: Spear of Shojin / Void Staff / Morellonomicon
Swain / Xin Zhao: Gargoyle Stoneplate / Bramble Vest / Warmog's Armor

Augment

• Glass Cannon I

Power Snax

• For Lux: Shine Brighter

• For Xin Zhao: [left unspecified]

• For Swain: Round Two / Resistant / Stand Alone

Tips

How to find Power Snax: Socialite

• Power Snax can only appear in rounds 3 and 4.

• Recommended strategy: look for Xin Zhao in round 3 and try to roll for Power Snax: Socialite.

• If Socialite doesn’t appear, sell Xin Zhao and reroll for another chance.

• If you still can’t find Socialite, assign Power Snax to Swain instead and pick Round Two / Resistant / Stand Alone.

Effect of Socialite

At the start of combat, it marks an adjacent hex for 4 rounds.

• Allies standing in that hex gain +10% damage and +120 HP.

• The champion holding this Power Snax gains 200% of the bonus.

Notes

• Since Socialite can only highlight an adjacent hex and lasts for just 4 rounds at a time, to maximize the effect, rotate the champion holding the Power Snax between positions.

• This way, multiple champions can benefit from Socialite throughout the fight.

Recommended Rotation Order

(Adjusting the positions of the champion with Power Snax so others can benefit.)

Team Composition: 5 Sniper, 4 Protector

Operation Strategy

1. Start with a 2 Sniper comp early on. You can temporarily put items on Gnar before transitioning. Don’t rush leveling—prioritize finding Malphite first.

2. Before Stage 3-1, aim to get both Malphite and Sivir. Activate The Crew for one free reroll per round. Try to upgrade Malphite to 3★ before pushing to level 6 to look for Jhin.

3. At level 8, run either 4 Sniper 4 Protector or 6 Protector 2 Sniper. Position Jhin safely behind other Snipers so he survives longer, and keep Malphite in the middle frontline to tank damage.

4. At level 9, aim for either 5 Sniper or 6 Protector. Put leftover tank items on K’Sante or Neeko, and any spare attack damage items on Varus.

Full Soul Fighter (Recommended for SET15)

This comp is very straightforward. Just complete the Soul Fighter tribe and, at Level 9, add Shen to activate Bastion and Edgelord traits. That’s it—you’re good to go!

To unlock the Prismatic level for Soul Fighter, you’ll need to field 8 Soul Fighters and win 10 rounds against other players.

Recommended Item

• Samira: Infinity Edge, Striker’s Flail, Last Whisper

• Gwen: Jeweled Gauntlet, Void Staff, Hand of Justice

• Sett: Gargoyle Stoneplate, Spirit Visage, Warmog’s Armor

Full Star Guardian (Recommended for SET15)

This comp is perfect for players who enjoy a stylish and colorful playstyle. It's simple to execute and very consistent.

To complete the comp, you'll need to run 8 Star Guardians. And, at Level 9, add Kobuko for the Heavyweight trait. Kobuko is a durable frontliner, making him ideal for soaking up damage.

To unlock the Prismatic trait, the quest requires 8 Star Guardians on the board, and 20,000 total mana used during the game.

Recommended Item

• Jinx: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Kraken’s Fury, Infinity Edge

• Seraphine: Spear of Shojin, Jeweled Gauntlet, Void Staff

• Poppy: Warmog’s Armor, Gargoyle Stoneplate, Steadfast Heart

4 Edgelord + 4 Soul Fighter (Recommended for SET15)

This hybrid comp offers great balance between strong frontliners and high burst damage. It's a solid all-around build—but be aware, it requires a Fast 8 strategy to reach its power spike and secure your win.

Operation Strategy

1. Early Game Strategy: Aim to lose streak early to build economy. During carousels, prioritize Katarina’s core items.

2. Mid Game (Stage 3-1): Level up to Level 6. Focus on upgrading Katarina to 2★. Depending on your situation, slow roll at 30–50 gold to maintain interest and search for key champions.

3. Before Stage 4-1: Katarina must be 3★ before 4-1 or you risk falling behind. Once she is 3★, push to Level 8. Add Lee Sin to activate Stance Master. If you have an Academia Emblem, use it on Braum to enhance your frontline.

4. Late Game: At Level 8, aim to upgrade Jayce to 3★ as your secondary carry. Optimize positioning and item distribution for best synergy.
