Final board
The whole board at level 8, where most of its games end. A dashed slot is one its games fill differently; an open one, no unit holds on a quarter of them. Under a unit, or: who its games play there instead.
Positions are our rule, by attack range: melee in front, ranged behind, the most-itemed carries in the back corners. Riot's match data has none. Dashed level buttons are planned, the rest measured.

How these rows are made
Level 7 and up are the boards this comp’s games ended on, all ranks, the last 14 days. 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. Hover a trait badge for what it does.
Items
The three items this comp’s carry was measured holding most often, the placement of the boards it held them on, and the difference against the comp’s own average. Every board of the family, all ranks.
| Champion | Item | Avg Place | vs comp | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aphelios |  Guinsoo's Rageblade | #5.46 | -0.24 | 2,293 |
| Tristana | Guinsoo's Rageblade | #5.54 | -0.15 | 1,638 |
| Aphelios |  Kraken's Fury | #5.33 | -0.36 | 1,428 |
Variations
Other boards this comp ends on, over the last 14 days. Each row is a version’s usual final board and what it plays instead of this comp’s own board at that level.

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.

U.R.F
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.
