Play it when

You find Azir early and have Needlessly Large Rods.
Nobody else is collecting Rammus, Teemo or Fiddlesticks.
You get an AP item augment such as Wand Overflow or Deadlier Caps.

Game plan

Stage 2

Look for an early Azir; a Blossom opener helps because upgraded Wisps speed things up. Take Needlessly Large Rods from the carousel – the comp needs several – and prefer item augments. If your board has no upgrades, lose streak instead of bleeding gold.

Stage 3

Level 6 at 3-2 and start adding final-board units. If you hold several pairs of Azir, Rammus, Teemo or Fiddlesticks, roll a little at 6 for 2-stars; otherwise save and go 7 around 3-7.

Stage 4

Have Azir and Rammus at 2 stars by 4-1, then slow roll on 7 above 50 gold for the 3-stars: Azir, Rammus, Teemo and Fiddlesticks.

Stage 5

Once the 3-stars are done, level 8 around 5-5 for Kennen (3 Executioner), and 9 for Blackthorn Lux if the game goes long.

Why it works

Azir's ability gives him Attack Speed and summons soldiers: for his next attacks he commands them instead of hitting himself, and each soldier deals magic damage. That is why he builds Guinsoo's Rageblade, Rabadon's Deathcap and Hextech Gunblade, a mix of attack speed and AP. Summoner (Azir, Zyra) gives his soldiers 20% more damage and Zyra's plants 4 extra attacks. Rammus at 3 stars taunts enemies, gains a shield plus Armor and Magic Resist, and damages everything around him when the shield breaks; with 3 Sprykin (Rammus, Teemo, Veigar) he rides the Big Furry Friend as its Rider for bonus stats. Blackthorn (Azir, Veigar) sacrifices the ally on the Blackthorn hex before combat to give your team Health, and Azir and Veigar gain extra stats based on what was sacrificed. Fiddlesticks and Soraka add 2 Flora Fatalis – mana on takedowns and a heal for your lowest-Health ally – and 2 Executioner gives Azir Precision and 15% Critical Strike Chance.

When to pivot

Blackthorn Lux is a strong win condition on her own – play her whenever you find her. Teemo and Veigar overlap with the Invoker Teemo and Veigar reroll comps, so you can switch carries if those copies come faster. Mama Beak can take Kennen's slot for 3 Summoner.
