Game plan

Stage 2

Collect early copies of all five 1-costs and don't buy XP. Wisps that give gold are worth buying. Put the first tank items on Ornn – the damage he blocks fills his Forge Power and earns Artifact Anvils. Level 4 at 2-3.

Stage 3

3-1 is your last round with the better 1-cost odds: roll down to about 30 gold on level 4 for extra copies. Then level 5 at 3-2 and slow roll above 50 until you have your five 3-stars; level 6 around 3-7.

Stage 4

Keep your economy strong – you need level 7 to fit the three Solar units next to the five carries and tanks. Go 7 around 4-5 and add Sejuani and Kayle.

Stage 5

Level 8 around 5-2 and 9 around 6-2 if you are stable. Only chase 3-star Kayle or Sejuani when you have a lot of spare gold.

Why it works

The comp is built around Solar's 3-star bonus. With Leona, Sejuani and Kayle on board, your champions get a max-Health shield and bonus magic damage, both growing with every unique 3-star – and at five 3-stars (Ornn, Akali, Camille, Leona, Varus) 40% of that bonus magic damage becomes true damage. Akali and Varus activate Inferno, whose Burn and Wound give the team built-in anti-heal. Akali and Camille are also Ravagers: 10% Omnivamp and bonus damage that doubles against enemies below half Health, which keeps both melee carries alive in the front line. Leona and Ornn give 2 Defender for extra resists, and Kayle at 2 stars Shreds Magic Resist with her attacks, so you don't need a dedicated shred item.

When to pivot

Ornn can be swapped for Yorick or Rakan if he is contested. The comp shares its Solar core with the other Kayle and Karma rerolls, so if someone else is collecting Leona and Sejuani, keep the Inferno and Ravager carries and drop Solar for flex units like Amumu.
