Open in BuilderThe core, at the star level it was measured at and with the carry’s items, standing the way the board above does: by rule, and yours to move.
Final board
The core — the units on most of this family’s boards — at the star level and with the items they were measured holding. Flex slots sit under it.
Riot's match data records no positions, so this board is placed by rule from each champion's attack range: melee in front, ranged behind, and the carries holding the most items in the back corners.

Augments
Riot’s match-v1 data does not report which augments a player took, so there is no augment number on this page and none anywhere else on the site. The augment reference lists what each one grants.
