Stage-by-Stage Guide
Understanding when to level, roll, and transition is crucial for maximizing your success with Replicator / Rogue / Dark Star / Brawler / Timebreaker / Eradicator. This guide breaks down the optimal play pattern for each stage of the game.
Focus on building economy while collecting Cho'Gath and Kai'Sa and Lissandra copies. Play your strongest board with any 2-star units you hit naturally. Look for Cho'Gath and Lissandra as early game frontline. Aim to have 30-40 gold by the Stage 2 carousel.
Stage 3 is your key decision point. If you've collected 5+ copies of Cho'Gath by Stage 3-2, commit to the reroll strategy. Level to 5 at Stage 3-2 and begin slow rolling. At level 5, 1-cost units have the highest appearance rate.
By Stage 4, you should be close to or have already hit your 3-star Cho'Gath. Once you 3-star your primary carry, stop rolling and begin leveling. If resources allow, continue rolling for 3-star Kai'Sa and Lissandra. Transition to leveling at Stage 4-5 or 5-1.
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, add them for extra power. Scout remaining players and position to counter their carries.
This is a high economy investment that requires disciplined gold management during your reroll phase. Slow roll above 50 gold until you hit your 3-star targets.
