Stage-by-Stage Guide

Understanding when to level, roll, and transition is crucial for maximizing your success with Bastion / Protector / Rosemother / Stance Master / Crystal Gambit / The Champ. This guide breaks down the optimal play pattern for each stage of the game.

Stage 2Early Game
Loss streak if weak
Save for 50g
Preserve HP carefully

Prioritize economy above all else. Loss streak intentionally if your board is weak — the extra gold and carousel priority will help you hit your late-game power spike faster. Aim for 50 gold by Stage 3 if possible.

Stage 3Transition
Stay at level 5-6
Maintain 50g
Find temp carries

Continue building economy while maintaining a playable board. Level to 6 at Stage 3-2 only if you're taking too much damage. Otherwise, stay at level 5 and save gold. Look for Swain and K'Sante as temporary carries.

Stage 4Power Spike
Level to 7 at 4-1
Small rolldown to stabilize
Push to 8 at 4-5/5-1

Stage 4 is when you commit to the fast 9 strategy. Level to 7 at Stage 4-1 with a small rolldown (10-20 gold) to stabilize. Then save everything for level 8 at Stage 4-5 or 5-1, and push to level 9 at Stage 5-2 or 5-5. Your 5-cost units (Braum, Zyra) come online at level 9.

Stage 5+Late Game
Push to level 9 if healthy
Roll for Braum
2-star legendaries to win

At level 9, roll for your 5-cost legendaries: Braum, Zyra. Each 2-star legendary significantly increases your win probability. At this point, you should be one of the strongest boards in the lobby. Position to counter the remaining 2-3 players.

Economy Summary
87gTotal Cost
HighInvestment

This is a high-cost composition that requires excellent economy management to reach level 9 with enough gold to roll for your legendaries.
