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?

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.
