summary

This article is a real-world guide to the “Fan Service” configuration, which showed a high degree of stability on the competition scene.

The author, Mr. Norikurusu, advanced to Day 3 and placed 32nd in the final table at the Tactician’s Cup I, Set 15.
He used the fan service configuration in 8 out of 12 Day1/Day2 rounds, averaging 2.75 places!

Although this configuration has been weakened by the B-patch dated 9/16, there is a possibility that it will emerge as a meta configuration again in the future, so it is worth knowing!

Contents

This article is current as of patch 15.4.

2-step scouting

The most important playing condition for the reroll configuration is ” no competition!”

If there is a competitor, it is better to switch to other configurations honestly, because the decisions to be made and the risks are greatly increased compared to when there is no competitor.

Check the possession of Zaya/Rakan and item and augment tendencies during the 2-step (preparation time during battle or losing progress) to check for target coverage, and if you are covered, make a decision early on whether to avoid it or complete it before your opponent does.

item

Top priority: Lacan > Zaya.
Lacan’s Ark Angel Staff is the highest priority.
Zaya’s Guinsaw is not essential. Make it “only when your handholds are neatly organized”.
Rod + Bow” can be used for Lacan’s Ark Angel Staff and Titan, so it is not as valuable as using it for Guinsaw.

Material Management Tips

• Preservation: Rod/chain vest (for Lacan’s Ark Angel Staff and Gargoyle Stone Plate)
• Use up: make surplus (BFs, bows, gloves, belts, etc.) “as soon as you can make them”.

Craft Guidelines

• Zaya: Don’t stick to ideals. Make from weapons you can make” → leads to early power spikes & preservation of HP
• Lacan: Aquen top priority + gargoyles are a must

Subcarry/allocation to tank

• Tank items: Ca sante > Neeko > Yasuo
• Carry items: Jinx > Yasuo > Janna
• Once the late Zaya ideals are in place, temporary items until then will be turned over to Jinx, etc.

Priority after creation of Zaya and Lacan items

1. Decomposition system: Raswis, Ibshura
2. Inhibiting system: Morello / Sunfire / Red Buff
3. Next to the above, secure bandit’s gloves “first priority”.
4. The rest of the items are created according to the situation.

Above is a tier list of items to be carried by Zaya or Lakan.

Within the tiers are side-by-side evaluations, which take into account the importance and versatility of the materials used, as well as the strength of the individual item on its own.

If you want to know only the ideal item, check the statistics.

augment

Basically, priority is given to money, rerolls, and augments for items.

Below is a list of tiers
The same tier is evaluated with the same strength.
　Exclude augments that cannot be acquired in the first place (heroes and crests).
　Augments such as silver protector’s attendant, rainbow waiting value, and sublime are set to a higher tier because they will only go to this configuration if you can pull off Lakan or Zaya

stroll (in Noh, an action piece involving circling the stage)

Stage 2

• Progression policy can be either win/lose. Losing progression + 2-4 to secure the items you want is the most stable.
• Conscious of playing with the highest priority on interest and avoiding unnecessary expenses when making a winning progression.

Stage 3

Level 6

• The theory is to set up the board once at 3-2
  If you have enough gold to win a series of games → it is OK to reroll to lvl 6 at 3-1
  At this time, aim to complete Zaya 2/Lakan 2
• This configuration is very important to win well in Stage 3.
  Do not save money halfway through the stage, but spend money to strengthen it.

making more powerful

• To get the “fanservice,” we select carefully in Lacan, where the odds are a little higher.

How to assemble Lv6

• Replacement when withdrawn
  • Ca Sante: replaced by Kenen
  • Jinx ↔ Yasuo.
    Priority = Jinx★2 >>> Yasuo★2 > Jinx★1 > Yasuo★1
  • If you’re taking a mini-mini team, hiring a jinx priority even if the yasoos overlap.
• A small trick when employing a mini-mini team
  If there is an opponent who unreasonably drops the rear guard (e.g. Fishbone Kai-Sa/Zak Hero ), there are situations where you can win by replacing Jinx with Rell to give Zaya about 700 shield -> increased survivability.
  → Keep one Rell recommended.

reroll

• After setting the board at 3-1/3-2, go to a slow reroll with a 50G hold.
  • If you have a good collection of Zaya/Lakan in 4-2 or if you lose in stage 3 and have no HP to spare.
    → OK to use gold at this time to get to ★3
  • If you are taking money/re-roll type augments, both Zaya & Lakan will be ★3 by 4-5.
    After completion, go to level up.

Level 7

Level 7

• Add a Strategist/Star Guardian unit if no Jinx/Ca Sante
• Once the configuration is completed to this point, most of the time, the top
• From here, we’ll save our gold and aim for level 8, level 9 if possible, and add units such as strategists and zylas to aim for first place.

Level 9

In case of double trouble

double trouble

• After level 7, select from the units in the lower left corner to add

Finally.

The key points of this composition are

• Avoiding Competition
• Items are flexible.
• Prepare early to win in three stages.
• After completing the configuration, save up enough gold to strengthen the board and go for first place.

Now you are the King of Fansha!

impression

It was a very practical guide that carefully visualized the ” winning reproduction procedure” backed up by actual competitions (tournaments), down to the decision-making criteria at key points.
In particular, the three points of ” scouting for the second stage,” ” item management, ” and ” winning the third stage” clearly show what criteria should be used for decision-making, greatly reducing hesitation.

While it is true that the 9/16 B patch has weakened the product, the value of this article lies in the “type” of the product.
(1) Determine conflicts → avoid them or complete them first
(2) Be flexible with items → “make what you can make first” (3) Zaya & Lacan ★3 by 4-5
Zaya & Lacan ★3 by 4-5
This universal procedure works beyond the average ranking up or down and composition.

Let’s use this pattern as a guide to achieve kings in other reroll configurations as well!
