Stage 2
Look for an econ engine: Primordian > Timebreaker. Slam items for Akali. Use Primordian to generate Akalis.
Stage 3
Level to 6 and roll for Akali 3 and Jax 3. Always play 5 NOVA if you highroll early Kindred. Once you finish Akali / tank items, make Kindred items.
Stage 4
Finish your 3* and push levels for 5 NOVA. Ideally duo carry Kindred with bow items but you can also play around 5 costs.
