Stage tips

General. Core units are Aphelios + Diana + Sentinel + Mama Beak. Red Buff is BIS Aphelios but you can also play Rageblade build. Play Scuttlecrab + Rakan over Brambleback if no melee items. Can duo carry Zyra or Morgana if extra AP items.

Stage 2. Open with a strong win streak AD tempo around Rapidfires. BIS is somewhat fake in this comp so slam aggressively to win.

Stage 3. Comp can use many items so take item augment if you don't have one yet. Mama Beak can be a strong carry here if you have Riftbeasts online.

Stage 4. Level to 8 and roll heavily for Aphelios and the 4 costs. Only push for 9 once you have almost all your 4 costs upgraded.
