summary

The “Socialite x Mentor” configuration is very stable and has a very high potential if operated correctly.

On the other hand, there may have been times when the unit was not able to show its full potential and felt like a weak configuration because of a wrong standpoint or build.

Koiwajaku’s commentary details the optimal “mentor” configuration utilizing Socialite, including how to get up and running, augment selection, item distribution, and placement.

Contents

Final Composition and Basic Policy

• Composed of 4 “Mentors” + “Executioners” + “Mighty Robots”.
• The basic game plan is to complete the composition at level 8 to secure the top position, and further strengthen it at level 9 to achieve first place
• If Lee Shin cannot be drawn, substitute Akali.
• Composition that is competitive even against 5-cost configurations
• A mine play that you should never make is a senario roll at level 7
  (because the tempo is slow and the return is not commensurate with the high risk)

making more powerful

• The core idea of this configuration is to attach “Socialite” to Eight Rocks to make the reinforced squares appear.
• When the second power-up appears at 3-6, look for it until the “Socialite” appears.
• The ideal power-up for Rise is “Ice Bender”, but if you can’t pull it off, compromise with “Eradication”.
• Taking a “storm vendor” is deprecated.

Note: ” Socialite” power-ups appear only in stages 3 and 4.

item

• Rise: Arc Angel, Striker Flail, Labadon, magic defense penetration system
• Yasuo/Cobco/Udia: “Thieves’ Gloves” multiple uses
• Jarvan IV: 1 “Protector’s Oath”.

Item Selection Points

• Items should have as much firepower as possible, not half-assed items.
• The “Mentor” is composed of multiple carries, so the theory of concentrating items on specific units is difficult to apply.
  The “Thieves’ Gloves” should be made and equipped in the order of Yasuo > Kobuko > Udia.
• Jarvan IV should have only one “Oath of Protector” and no more.
  At the end of the game, if Jarvan IV, now at *2, has three “Oath of Protector” or two and “Adaptive Helm”, he will shoot two skills stably.

augment

• Item-based augments can basically be acquired (prisms in particular are given top priority).
• The “radiant factor” is weak, so it’s a no-go (since the number of items is paramount).
• Avoid economic system of gold augmentation, but silver augmentation is acceptable.
• For combat systems, priority is given to overall reinforcement systems (e.g., “Rescue,” “Rise and Fall,” and “Protagonist Correction”).

deployment

• Socialite” squares last 5 rounds and can be patterned.
• Second from the left in the front row at 3-6 → After neutral, second row → Third is given to Senna & Lasse.
• Thereafter, repeat clockwise.
• If you want to put Carrie on the left side, flip the Lise Sena Eight Rocks left or right.
• Kobuko + Jarvan IV aim at the lower right corner of the enemy and place Rise & Sena at the bottom corner square to concentrate firepower.
• If you want to aim at the lower left corner of the enemy, flip the third placement of Lasse Senna Eitrox left and right to accommodate.

Composition transition at the beginning of the process

1. Lucian + Mighty Robot Axis -> Add “Heavyweights”, “Snipers” and high level “Sorcerers”.
2. Syndra Axis Star Guardian → Add Prodigy or Star Guardian

summary

• Mentors” are more about the completeness of the team as a whole than their individual strengths.
• If you utilize the socialite squares correctly, you can stabilize at the top & aim for 1st place.
• The key to victory is not to misbehave, but to distribute and place items correctly.
• Mentor composition is not “quality over quantity” but “quantity over quality” = number of items is most important.
• Carry is multiple carry dispersed rather than rise single carry.

impression

What I felt when I actually tried this composition was that the points emphasized in the commentary really did lead directly to the results.

When I calmly tried to achieve Level 8 based on this commentary, the composition naturally approached completion, and I experienced a much greater sense of stability throughout the match.

In addition, the amount of work involved in rearranging socialites is large, and this article allows us to put the effort we put into making decisions into other areas of our business. We feel that these small innovations add up and will definitely affect the win rate and rankings.

I found the mentor configuration to be a solid option to consistently achieve higher ranks if the correct progression and awareness is followed. It is a very dependable configuration, especially when you want to consistently boost your rank.
