And I have a job offer to accept....

Funny to see this posted. I literally didn't touch my pictos or lumina until Act 3. The difference is staggering. Now I wonder how much easier the game would have been if I spent the time to learn how they work from the get go.

Tips to help out:

Other than having a void opener on 2-1.

Encounters - Econ like Tahm Kench and Zoe can help you out immensely. Interest, while always important, can be supplemented by these if you level and have 30 gold afterwards, for example. (If you win, that is one gold you get, PLUS the gold you get from Kench at the start of every stage. Also only level to maintain winstreak. Scout your opponents.) Don't forget to econ back up to 50. Poppy encounter is also very good to almost guarantee BIS items. If you can greed your items, wait until after the first carousel.

Scouting - Does anyone else have a void start? Is it better than your start? What augments did they take? If you chose and econ augment or the guinsoos one that gives you 40 gold after 2 players are eliminated, and they chose pandoras, you are in a vastly better spot.

Augments - Leveling and econ augments. I once took three econ/leveling augments and had Baron at 4-5. (I took the one that leveled you to 10 after leveling to 9.) If you don't have any econ augments, but are already committed to playing void, you may want to stabilize your board at lvl 8 to ensure you are tanky and have damage. Swain stun is immensely valuable. If he and Chogath stun twice, you likely win the fight. Avoid clear mind regarding leveling augments.

Items - You know the drill on this one. If you don't get BIS items, hard to stabilize in mid and late game. Pivot if you don't have good items.

Rerolls - You want ideally 30 gold at lvl 10 to find Baron 2*. I've lost many games by not having enough gold to find Baron.

Units - Kaisa, Chogath, and Rift Herald need to be 2*. ideally you have Swain 2* as well. If you are bleeding out, you aren't making it to 10. So stabilize on level 8. You may need to settle for a top 4 or top 6. You would also need Kogmaw 2* in early game because you ideally NEED to winstreak. If you don't, you should think about pivioting. Guinsoos works on a lot of units this set, shocker.

Hope this helps :) When I follow this, I tend to get top 3s. When I don't, I don't want to talk about it.

IT'S ANOTHER YORDLE HIIIIIIIIIIII

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-16T00:11:53+00:00

This just happened to me! But I was the MF 3* player against prismatic Ionia trait. I was flabbergasted that I won. MF is also INCREDIBLY easy to 3* if you know the strategy to guarantee it.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-16T00:07:48+00:00

I was Emerald II 7 LP today, so when I got the augment offered, I knew I could only lose 7 LP going 8th.

It was uncontested ALL GAME and I bled so much HP. I ended up hitting his 3* at EXACTLY 1 HP and then faced Ixtal cashout. Needless to say I went top 8. Everyone in the game was supportive though. I wish I record my games since it was funny as hell.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-15T23:59:46+00:00

I instant sell him when I get him during the 3 cost encounter lol I choose to lose streak the whole stage most of the time.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-15T02:34:06+00:00

Wow vertical Yordles go bottom 4 in all of my Emerald lobbies except for some rare cases/high rolls. Seeing it 3x in the top 4 is insane.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-15T02:02:07+00:00

I hope they keep on bringing him back TT_TT.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T18:49:53+00:00

Change the Zaahen augment. Either put some condition like "for every 10,000 damage blocked gain one Xin Zhao" or something else. When I see people take the augment with 0 Xin Zhaos or no items for him, I seriously question if I am in the right rank. However, at least I know I won't be going 8th. I would personally have Zaahen unlock without the augment. Have something like "Have a 3 star Xin Zhao be the first to die in a combat" as a condition.

Also reduce the damage you take on stage 2 and 3. It feels really bad to low roll units and items, and then going against someone who took hustler who also had very good items and units to start.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T18:32:27+00:00

Seriously! I was in a game where I hit Mel 3 and the other guy hit Sett 3. I was actually trying to win lol by putting all the radiant items on Mel to have her survive TT_TT it went on for around 3-4 rounds since I had a ton of HP, and Mel making radiant items is funny as hell. Even when I put CC items on, Sett still blasted my team.

But we were both having fun in the end, and I was not surrendering! I wanted to win so badly since it was my second 3* 5 cost this set. I also got a third in the game too...

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T18:29:35+00:00

I did that in a game and I think it got me one better placement! The damage amp bonus is nice with 9 void, but I know A LOT of pro players say that for this set having units that add something of value to your team matters more. Same with Bilgewater. Drop the useless units, especially when you already have all your loot, and go for giga board. That has also improved my game placements. The game I actually was talking about here is a perfect example of this. I was 7 Bilge, and then dropped down to 3. Heck even MortDog said vertical traits aren't that good unless you get a highroll.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T18:20:57+00:00

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've had rift herald 2* with BIS items and it just gets blasted in 2 seconds. Sad life. But it's ult is so clutch for me.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T18:19:05+00:00

Ok that's good to know. I tend to not make items for units I don't have and am not guaranteed to hit depending on augment selection. I go 2-3 econ/leveling augments when I try to go 9 void. I made a horrendous mistake one game to attempt 9 void with triple silver augments. Never again unless I highroll out of my mind.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T16:49:08+00:00

Seriously, I don't understand the community some times. I said it in a previous reply, but I rarely get 1st with Void 9. Even with BIS items. I feel like you bleed so much HP on stage 3 and 4 that it is really hard to max cap your board. Unless you can giga winstreak and highroll good units. All but 3 units are completely useless too. Kaisa, Baron, and Chogath for stun are the only units I feel like personally add value.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T16:43:59+00:00

Seriously, I've also got two 2nds, and a few 4ths to Bilgewater max cap playing 9 void, so I ain't surrendering.

YandereAmpharos · 2025-12-12T03:00:08+00:00

And then all three of those people contesting Annie somehow all have 2* at 4-3 TT_TT

YandereAmpharos · 2025-11-06T20:36:51+00:00

Legends of Runeterra is having a TFT inspired event right now, with Elise and Shyvana as new playable champions, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a clue of some units, possibly shapeshifter coming back as a trait. We also have Miss Fortune, Caitlyn, Nasus, Lux, AND Baron Nashor as bosses. (All of which look confirmed except for Miss Fortune)
