Comp 6 Star Guardians / Sorcerer

The composition 6 Star Guardians allows you to generate a lot of mana for your spellcasters, coupled with 4 Wizards to boost their damage. This composition can now be played in different ways: by remaining 7 level for slow roll and find syndra, neeko et Ahri levels 3, or passing quickly 8 level to go get some legendary units very powerful. This second choice is the most recommended, especially if you get your hands on a Spatula.

When to Play This Comp and Victory Conditions

These two versions of the Sorcerer composition are not extremely versatile, and therefore require rather specific conditions to be considered: 

• You have a lot of Chopsticks too big and Tears of the Goddess to make the ideal objects.
• Nobody else (or another max player) don't play the same composition, leaving the units available.
• You got your hands on a Spatula relatively early in the game.

Indeed, this composition will be effective to get a top 4 when it is not contested, but it will really highroll to win the game:

• Have an object of Spatula to play 6 Star Guardians + 6 Sorcerers or change a powerful unit to Guardian of the stars (Urgot, Viktor...).
• To have some legendary champions tier 2 (Urgot, Xerath, Janna) in carry at 9 level with your Sorcerers.
• To have neeko, and Syndra levels 3 with the perfect objects.

Preferred items

Spatula and other objects

Le  Star Guardian Charm ( + ) is extremely potent in this composition and achieve a Spatula should be a top priority if you find one on a Carousel. Indeed, it allows you for example to play 6 Wizards et 6 Star Guardians au 8 level if you equip it on a Wizard (often Viktor).

It is also possible to put it on a Protective (Rakan, Urgot...) to play 4 Protectors + 6 Star Guardians and have more frontline. In this last perspective, you can finally make a  Protector's Breastplate ( + ) On syndra for example to also allow you to have your 4 Protectors at level 9.

At the end of the game, you can use one of your legendary units and carry : Xerath with  Mercury et  Guinsoo's Raging Blade can replace Viktor, the objects of this one then going on syndra.

Course of the game

Early game (levels 3/4/5)

The beginning of the game of this kind of composition is rather simple: you can quickly have a combination of 2 Wizards and 3 Star Guardians with Zoe, Ahri and Poppy for example, adding a second Initiator (Leona, Mordekaiser ou Jayce) in temporary frontline at 4 level. In this kind of situation, you can start donating your items of neeko à poppy for example, by selling it once you have found Neeko niveau 2.

Au 5 level, you will usually try to switch to 4 Sorcerers + 3 Star Guardians, using Annie and often Twisted fateOr syndra if you have already found it without needing to roll. You should be pretty strong, especially if you have Ahri, TF ou Annie level 2. For the latter, she will act as a tank with your defensive items and the important shield of her ultimate. Remember to keep aside your Ahri, neeko et syndra : these champions will be interesting to have at 3 level.

Midgame (levels 6/7)

Le 6 level will usually be a pivotal moment in your composition which should usually happen around the round 3-4 where you will be taken to roll a little to stabilize yourself if you are rather weak. In this case, look for some upgrades on your particular carries. Try not to no roll below 30 gold, you will need your gold to pass 7 level quickly.

When you play the version 6 Star Guardians, you'll usually want to try and fetch the level 7 in round 4-1 before slowroll : you will increase your chances of finding syndra, neeko et Soraka, but you can also switch to 6 Guardians + 4 Sorcerers.

Indeed, at 7 level you will usually want slow roll if you are not challenged on your composition: roll interests above 50 gold each round to try to find champions 3 level. Your targets will almost always be Ahri, syndra et neeko depending on your version. Generally, you'll want to slow roll until you've found them or there aren't many missing, in which case you should roll a little more until you get your upgrades and then level up to level 8.

Another possibility is simply to get level 8 (or even 9) as soon as possible, especially if you are challenged.

Endgame (level 8+)

Note that if other players take your units, or if you have a Spatula allowing you to make stronger compositions, it may be more important to spend 8 level quickly, in 4-3 or 4-5 round for example.

At the moment, assess the situation instead : if you only need a few champions to have syndra, neeko ou Ahri niveau 3, try slow roll a little more. If you are already very strong and you don't need it, consider saving up to level 9 and add a legendary champion.

Your best choice if you decide to pass 9 level you will have a choice to make between adding a legendary champion tier 2 (Aurelion Sol, Thresh, Gangplank...) or one Sixth Wizard. It is also possible to add a Mystique (usually Lulu, in which case you will want to change your Jarvan IV by Rakan ou Xin Zhao for celestial beings).

Different possible transitions

It is important to note that while this composition seems very fixed, there are several alternative versions.

Positioning Tips

The key to good positioning with this composition is to regularly scout the enemy boards, especially to prevent your neeko be the victim of a Zephyr. This will very often mean a lost round if it happens, as the rest of your backline is so fragile. If you are facing a Zephyr, don't hesitate to shift Neeko at the last moment and put Rakan instead for him to tank control.

What about neeko, she is very effective alone in the frontline because it forces opponents to come around her, thus pushing them all to take the area stun.

The rest of your units are usually positioned on the back line, trying to put your most important units in the corners (if there are no Blitzcrank) so that they are targeted last.
