Playstyle: 2-Cost Reroll (HARD)

Play only with very strong reroll augments. If you can't find Neeko 2, look to tank Skarner or another 4 cost instead. Avoid picking quests that are too hard to achieve because you will be locked out. Late game transition out of 5 Ixtal towards 5 costs.

Stage 2
Lose streak early. Roll 4 times before Stage 2 carousel. Generally better to do it on 2-3 so you can build your first interest gold. Prioritize Bard items.
Stage 3
If you are contested Bard, consider an alternate carry like Orianna 3 or even Milio 3. If you sense yourself needing resources, cash out Ixtal before 500.
Stage 4
Finish your 3* and push levels. 5 Ixtal is okay for a bit to finish quests, but try to play better units. You can win without Brock, but Brock 2 is very strong.
