Back to Team Comps6 Chem-barons Silco Carry. Chem-Barons is a high risk high reward comp that centers around lose streaking to accumulate Shimmer for cash-outs
Chem-Barons is a high-risk, high-reward comp that centers around lose streaking to accumulate Shimmer and cash out either 300-500 Shimmer shop to cap the board.
Aim to play this comp when you’re able to activate Chem-Barons anytime before 2-5, otherwise it will not be possible to build enough Shimmer to have a big enough cash out.

Early Game
In the early game, aim to lose streak. You can be greedy and slam an item to kill a unit and save some HP but most of the time it’s not worth to slam items in the event you accidentally win a round.

Mid Game
During Stage 3-2 Level up to 6 and continue lose streaking, if you don’t have 4 Chem-Baron at this time it is worth to roll a little bit of gold to find the 4th Chem-Baron that you are missing.
At this time scout the lobby and note if any board seems weak, if no board are weak, build AP items onto Renata Glasc to kill a couple units each round.
Make sure to not build 3 AP items for Silco as you will most likely be given a strong Chem-Baron item for him after you cash out. Building 2 AP items during the mid game is optimal. The same logic applies to building AD items for Smeech.

At this stage, start saving gold for Level 9
Late Game
Level to 8 on 4-1 as you will probably have enough gold from the loss streak. Roll until you find Silco and activate the 5 Chem-Baron break point. At this stage of the game, depending on your health, decide if you want to cash out either the 300 or 400 shop. But if you’ve been able to save a good amount of Tactician Health or have an augment that heals your Tactician, It is worth to aim for the 500 Shimmer Shop.
After cashing out your shop and stabilizing your board. Push to Level 9 and do not buy any of the Shimmer shops. Your next goal is to continue saving Shimmer until you can cash out another 300-400 Shimmer shop and win out.
