Team Planner Code


Team Comp Overview

Shadow Isles is a strategy that should be played only with a strong early game board that includes a 2* Viego. Shadow Isles units gain additional stats based on the amount of ally and enemy champions that die in player combats. So plan to build items early, push levels, and play your strongest board with any upgraded units you find throughout the game.

Early Game Overview

Unlockable Units

-Yorick: Field a Viego with 1 item equipped

The early game board for Shadow Isles is extremely flexible. The two core units are Viego and Yorick paired with any Quickstriker and Warden units. Souls are dropped by any champ death, so your items can be held by any upgraded unit you think will kill the most units. Ideally, prioritize melee fighter items that will eventually be Thresh’s items as melee units in the early game are typically stronger than ranged units.

Mid Game Overview

Unlockable Units:

–Gwen: Collect 10 Shadow Isles souls + Level 5

In the mid game, continue your win streak by playing upgraded units and slamming items.

During stage 3 carousel round, begin to prioritize AD items for Kalista as she will be your main carry during stage 4.

The mid game board is flexible, play the 3 core Shadow Isles units with other supporting units that share traits with them. Additionally, look to transfer the AP fighter items onto Gwen as she’s a stronger item holder than Viego.
