COMBAT
6 Scholar is very strong, but need good frontline so be flexible. Core units: Ryze, Taric, and 4 Scholars. Can also play Arcana frontline if you hit Tahm Kench 2 + Galio. Once you stabilize frontline, you can play Xerath over Rakan.

Stage 2

Play around Portal opener. Ahri can hold items for Ryze. BIS Ryze = Red Buff + AP, but slam whatever helps winstreak.

Stage 3

Start building tank items and play a strong frontline with Portal and Scholar backline. Roll for upgrades on 6 if paired up.

Stage 4

Level to 8 and roll for Ryze 2, Milio, and upgraded frontline. Push to level 9 for 5 costs. 6 Scholar is very powerful but need upgraded frontline.
