Guide notes

Commit, level, adjust

When to make

  • Most-built: Guinsoo's Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Kraken's Fury

Leveling

  • 2-1: Level 4, 10+ - Slam direction-neutral items and play the strongest upgraded board.
  • 3-2: Level 6, 30+ - Add trait breakpoints and decide whether the opener supports this line.
  • 4-2: Level 8, 20-30 - Roll for carry plus frontline upgrades, then refine positioning each matchup.

Adjustments

  • Move carries away from the most dangerous board each round.
  • Solve the current fight problem before chasing a higher-ceiling line.
