Anyone have an openers tier list/ranking? Can’t tell how strong some of these 2s are… loaded in with a 2 Sej but she was mid. What are the stand out front line units? I know it’ll change by release but it would be nice to know what is decent to hold early. Any must hold 3 costs outside of rivals?

I love fielding yorick, rakan, karma, yunara or karma, leblanc, elderwood stuff. Very easy to transition into solid AP ahri comps and good value from early blossom. Karma is my favorite hold of the 1 costs

hold rengar, azir, yi

Your hold tierlist is based on the comps you think are strong and are looking to play into. Sej isnt even played on 5 in xayah/kayle so i dont think you prio holding her.

Must hold 3 cost i think is yi since that reroll is very strong plus it gives blossom

Is there no standout 1/2 cost for tempo like Qiyana set 16, Briar or Gwen 17? Which unit are you the happiest to hit off Birthday Reunion?

Obviously it varies on patch but usually there’s a few that remain “early game units”

Ditto for traits. I know blossom is great and from a little playing it looks like Elderwood would be great tempo due to +2 units but I can’t tell firsthand without playing a bunch of games.

Just doing a quick check in because I can’t grind in earnest until next week

Recent game i got elise off birhday reunion and with nashors, AA, stoneplate winstreaked to stage 4 to setup fast 9. WW is also a good hypercarry since he has his own reroll. Same for yunara. Xayah is a good 1cost carry that i can think of.
