Stage-by-Stage Guide
Understanding when to level, roll, and transition is crucial for maximizing your success with Shepherd / Oracle / Dark Star / Voyager / Brawler / Psionic / Commander. This guide breaks down the optimal play pattern for each stage of the game.
Focus on building economy while collecting Pyke and Gragas copies. Play your strongest board with any 2-star units you hit naturally. Look for Lissandra and Pyke 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 Pyke by Stage 3-2, commit to the reroll strategy. Level to 6 at Stage 3-2 and begin slow rolling. At level 6, 2-cost units have the highest appearance rate.
By Stage 4, you should be close to or have already hit your 3-star Pyke. Once you 3-star your primary carry, stop rolling and begin leveling. If resources allow, continue rolling for 3-star Gragas. 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 Sona, 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.
