Final board

The whole board at level 8, where most of its games end. The core — the units on most of this family’s boards — at the star level and with the items they were measured holding; then the flex slots, dashed, with the unit its boards put there most. A slot no unit holds on a quarter of its boards is open.

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. The level buttons show the board at each level: the dashed ones are planned by rule (see How it’s played), the rest measured.

How it’s played

Where this comp’s games end, and its board at every level from 4 — a unit marked + is new since the level above. Level 8 and up are measured: the boards its games ended on, all ranks, the last 14 days (298 games). Riot’s match data keeps only that last board, so the levels below are planned by one rule from this comp’s own units and traits and Riot’s shop odds, and marked plan — how the rule works.

Augments that fit

What each augment grants, set against what this comp measured: the same rule the overlay uses when it reads the three on offer. A measured line is the comp’s own placement at a trait level; a line by rule is a fact about the comp, such as the damage its carry is built for.

Works against it: Not a reroll comp (14)

Riot’s match-v1 data does not report which augments a player took, so no augment has a number of its own on this page or anywhere else on the site. The augment reference lists what each one grants.
