Stage 4Power Spike

Add high-cost units

By Stage 4, you should be close to or have already hit your 3-star Ezreal. Once you 3-star your primary carry, stop rolling and begin leveling. If resources allow, continue rolling for 3-star Cho'Gath and Milio. Transition to leveling at Stage 4-5 or 5-1.

Stage 5+Late Game
Add remaining upgrades

Find legendaries if possible

Your 3-star carry should be online and dealing massive damage. Focus on adding your remaining high-cost units and finding optimal positioning against the remaining players. If you find Jhin or Shen, add them for extra power. Scout remaining players and position to counter their carries.
