Why it works

Adaptors change their ability depending on whether their Attack Damage or Ability Power is higher, and the trait gives them extra AD or AP (35% at 3 Adaptors). With AD items, every third Master Yi attack is a Double Strike that grants 15% stacking attack speed, so Guinsoo's Rageblade and Edge of Night let him snowball through a fight; 18.5 also raised his AD-form base Attack Damage from 60 to 63. Kog'Maw hits his target and the next nearest enemy, deals more damage to enemies below 50% HP, and brings Sunder and Shred to the board. Vi heals on every attack and, when she casts, gains attack speed and becomes unstoppable, which makes her a strong 3-star tank.

Game plan

2
Stage 2
Play around a Master Yi or Rengar opener that can win streak. Blossom units are a strong early option, either for gold or for item wisps.
3
Stage 3
Add Adaptors and front line, and finish Master Yi's items by the end of the stage. Level 6 at 3-2 and 7 around 3-7 (or early in stage 4).
4
Stage 4
At level 7, roll for Master Yi 2-star, Kog'Maw 2-star and a Juggernaut tank, then rebuild gold and slow roll above 50 gold for 3-stars of Master Yi, Kog'Maw and Vi.
5
Stage 5
Once your main 3-stars are done, level 8 around 5-5 and add Gromp or another flex unit; level 9 comes around 6-2.

When to pivot

If Vi is contested, make Krug your main tank – Vi 3-star is stronger, but many players use her, so she is harder to hit. For the second carry you can play Kog'Maw or Rengar; another option is to keep Kog'Maw until you find Nidalee. Only drop Kog'Maw if the board still has another source of Sunder and Shred.

Flex options

Tips

Item order: Master Yi first, then the tank, then Kog'Maw, then Nidalee. A Brawler Emblem or an artifact on Master Yi makes the whole comp noticeably stronger.
Vi goes front-left with Master Yi behind her; Sett goes front-right with Krug behind him. Kog'Maw and Nidalee sit in the left back corner, Yorick in the right one.
Nidalee changes form with her items: AP (Guinsoo's Rageblade, Rabadon's Deathcap) or AD (for example Hand of Justice and Infinity Edge) both work.
With 2 Primal, take the Phoenix blessing only if you are ahead; otherwise choose the execute or healing blessing.
