Overview

The theme of this issue is about the 95 strongest configurations in the case of obtaining 11 emblems with the crystal gambit.
In addition, we will also discuss the 84 configuration for those who cannot reach level 9.

The opportunity to enhance the crystal gambit and earn 475 stacks of rewards occurs several times in a single night of play.
Therefore, we will show you how to utilize the crests, which can be used in different situations.

Contents

Basics (8 levels and 4 costs)

• No resynthesizer → Just imitate the configuration of the diagram
• Synergy not activated crest → Strategist, Juggernaut, Duelist, Executioner (have 3 of them in the rel, and if there is a resynthesizer, resynthesize them together)
• The goal is not to pursue the utilization of the crests, but to produce Edge Road 4 and Bastion 4.

Chemical reactions of the crests

Some crests can cause significant chemical reactions when given to certain champions to hold.

• Bolivare’s sniper’s sigil -> extends his range and transforms him from a fighter to a marksman.
• Poppie’s Protector ‘s Crest -> Poppie’s skill generates shields, and since she herself is a heavyweight, the amount of shields she gains from the Protector’s effect is also very large.

If Poppie’s Protector Crest x “Maximum Defense” can be attached, her firepower may even surpass Jinx’s.

SUPPLEMENTARY

• Seraphine is not put out at level 8 if not equipped, but at level 9.
• Putting Braum in at the same time will strengthen the board

A powerful sigil even without activating synergy

• Strategist → “Mini Solari’s Rocket”, always in the vanguard
• Juggernaut → +30% attack speed, good to have for now if you don’t have all carry items
• Executioner → “Mini Striker Flail”, good for critical carries
• Sorcerer → “Mini Lavadon Death Cap”, good with Seraphine

Even before the synergy is activated, these are excellent as a bridge item until the carry equipment is ready.

Composition for Sorcerer’s Equipments

• Mentor + Strategist combination
• High utilization of crests, only 3 crests are unactivated.
• If you can draw Yone, Duelist + Sniper crest Yone is the strongest class of carry.

95 Composition

Required Units

• Ka Sante
• Jarvan IV
• Eight Rocks

These three units are fixed; the rest are filled with cost 5 units.
In particular, Braum, Lee Sin, and Valls are fixed members.

Optimal holders of the crest

• Edge Lord → Twisted Fate: (Twisted Fate is very efficient in lowering physical defense, as it has three damage judgments in one normal attack.)
  Braum: (also very efficient in lowering defenses, as it deals 4-6 damage with one skill)

• Sniper → Yone Gwen: (explosive synergy when given to certain characters)

• Executioner → Gwen, Valus (very effective bleeding effect for champions with high damage frequency, slow and steady type of damage)

• Duelist → Twisted Fate (activates 3 attack effects), Yone (but synergy required)

Re-synthesis priority.

• Duelist, Juggernaut, and Prodigy are candidates for resynthesis.
• If resynthesizers are available, the flexibility of the composition is further expanded

Summary

• 84 configuration → Stable plan when level 9 is not reached
• 95 configuration → Overwhelmingly powerful if you reach level 9 and have 11 crests
• More flexible if you have a resynthesizer

Impressions

What was particularly impressive in this commentary was the idea of using emblems as a substitute for items and synergies, rather than just digesting them.

The explanation of using the strategist and juggernaut emblems as “mini-finished items” is very practical and a great reminder for players who tend to have too much of their own emblems.
