Understanding when to level, roll, and transition is crucial for maximizing your success with Heavyweight / Mentor / Protector. This guide breaks down the optimal play pattern for each stage of the game.
Build the strongest board possible with your available units. Rell and Kobuko are good early game options. Level to 4 at Stage 2-1 or 2-2. Win streak if strong, or loss streak cleanly if weak.
At Stage 3-2, level to 6 and roll down to stabilize if your board is weak (below 70 HP). Otherwise, save gold and level to 7 at Stage 4-1. Start collecting your key units: Rell, Kobuko, Xayah.
At Stage 4-1, level to 7 and roll for your core 2-stars. Look for Neeko, Jinx, K'Sante. At Stage 4-5 or 5-1, push to level 8 and roll for 2-star Jinx and K'Sante. This is when the comp reaches full power.
Look to push to level 9 if you have gold and HP remaining. At level 9, search for Seraphine to complete your board.Scout the remaining players and adjust positioning to counter their carries.
Maintain interest thresholds when possible, and avoid panic rolling unless your HP is critically low.
