Piltover Pilot
Playstyle: 4-Cost Fast 8 (MEDIUM)
Put the lowest value unit on your board in the pilot hex, often an Azir sand soldier, or Orianna. Pilot scaling isn't worth it anymore so it's easier to just go full 2 star. 2 Piltover Prio: Overload > Blast Shields >> EMP > Capacitors > Nets 4 Piltover Prio: Coil > Ray > Gate 6 Piltover Prio: Drill > Nullifier > Upgrade

Stage 2
Ideally play from cait 2 + Vi/Loris opener. Can roll for bard if it doesn't cost much to get him like with epoch or trade sector.
Stage 3
Collect piltover units, we need to 2 star all of them to reach t-hex. We don't go for cait 3 anymore after the 3 star caster pilot nerf.
Stage 4
Ideally unlock t-hex and play 6 pilt + gunslinger and warden. We want mining drill to get to 9 fast. If you miss mining drill, drop down to 4 piltover when you find stuff like azir and other upgraded wardens.
