Play it when

You find Kayle copies early and can slam Guinsoo's Rageblade.
You also hold pairs of Leona or Varus.
You are fine skipping early levels to save gold.

Game plan

Stage 2

Open with Kayle and whatever upgraded frontline you hit. Don't buy XP at 2-1 – the comp wants gold. Slam Guinsoo's Rageblade for Kayle as soon as you can, then put the next components into tank items. Level 4 at 2-3 and save the rest.

Stage 3

Level 5 at 3-1. If you already hold several Leona and Varus copies, you can roll a bit at level 5 for these 1-cost 3-stars. Level 6 at 3-2 and slow roll: keep gold above 50 and spend only the interest. 3-star priority: Kayle > Sejuani > Leona > Shen / Varus.

Stage 4

Once Kayle is 3-star – or you have three 3-stars and are far from the rest – stop rolling and start leveling. Add Diana and Aphelios, and give Varus the Lunar Emblem if you have it, to reach 3 Lunar and switch on Eclipse. Go level 7 around 4-7.

Stage 5

Level 8 around 5-7. Cap the board with Lux (Lunar or Solar version) or Alune, and keep adding tank items if fights are close – Eclipse needs time to work.

Why it works

Solar (Sejuani, Leona, Kayle) gives your team a shield worth 5% max Health and 8% bonus magic damage, and both grow with every unique 3-star champion; at five 3-stars, 40% of that bonus magic damage turns into true damage. That is why the board aims for five 3-stars: Kayle, Sejuani, Leona, Shen and Varus. Kayle's passive ascends with her star level – at 2 stars her attacks Shred 20% Magic Resist, at 3 stars every attack fires a wave that hits all other units in its path, so Guinsoo's Rageblade comes first. Diana, Aphelios and a Lunar Emblem on Varus give you 3 Lunar, which together with Solar turns on Eclipse: after a few seconds of combat it kills the lowest-Health enemy and keeps repeating, so every extra second your frontline survives is worth damage.

When to pivot

If other players are also rolling for Solar units, don't fight for copies: push levels earlier and make 4-costs such as Aphelios your main damage. Lux (either version) is a good late upgrade to cap the board. A Lunar Emblem saves you from having to find Alune for the third Lunar.
