Explains the meta operation method after achieving 2nd place in Challenger this season. Due to the B-patch, existing operation decks (Strategist, Animal Squad) have declined and shifted to the reroll deck meta. Currently, in ranked games, the more you play reroll decks, the more your score increases. Value decreased due to 5-cost unit nerfs, so it's important to set the direction from the build-up. It's good to look at the reroll deck angles broadly and try even forcibly depending on the empty house and item situation. Reroll decks and Cipher decks are currently strong in the meta.

Recommends the Veigar reroll deck that people don't play often. Unlike Twisted Fate, it's less dependent on Guinsoo's Rageblade, allowing for flexible responses. The only unit that can utilize Blue Buff after Annie's retirement. The best item setup is Blue Buff, Nashor's Tooth, Shojin's Spear, and if mana is lacking, Hand of Justice instead of Shojin. Recommends level 6 reroll deck, level 7 composition (remove Techies and add Cybernetic). Prioritize 3-starring Veigar and Shyvana, then provide sub-items after 3-starring Seraphine/Zyra. Add Cybernetic synergy at level 9.

Changed the data-based optimized composition (use Rell instead of Skarner). 3-star Twisted Fate and Darius at level 6, and ultimately try to 3-star Braum as well. Collect Braum without selling and provide tank items. Add Shaco and Miss Fortune at level 8 to activate 5 Crime City Nightmare synergy, use Jinx instead of Kog'Maw. Distribute tank items to Twisted Fate/Miss Fortune when Miss Fortune has full items in the late game.

Changed to a level 7 reroll deck, must complete the level 7 composition and 3-star Senna. Whether or not you 3-star Senna is a crucial factor in success/failure. Reroll at level 7 to get Leona and Zed. Manage health in round 3 with level 6 reroll at 3-2, finish 3-starring with level 7 reroll at 4-1/4-2. Vayne's items are Guinsoo's Rageblade, Giant Slayer, and Bloodthirster, Senna's are Infinity Edge, Runaan's Hurricane, and Giant Slayer. Add Renekton at level 8 to provide Senna with food (Senna has innate omnivamp).

Despite the B-patch nerf, indicators are rising (indirect buff effect). Similar mechanism to Smite from the previous season. Recommend the Rengar deck if you acquire Rengar from the round 1 creeps. Level 7 reroll deck, aim to 3-star Rengar, Varus, and Graves. Provide the Executioner emblem to Viego if available. Rengar's items are Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel, and Hand of Justice, recommend Assassin's Claw artifact, Dawn/Duskblade is also good.

Recommended when choosing Artifact Encounter portal, Artifact/Bruiser emblem. Recommended general items are Bloodthirster, Giant Slayer, and Archangel's Staff. Recommend Jeweled Gauntlet and Plague artifact items (Jeweled Gauntlet is better based on double Archangel's Staff). Chogath Ascension is also a good choice (high probability of Ascension when providing tank items). Fiddlesticks' skill has built-in magic resist reduction effect. Remove Mundo and add Kobuko and Garen for Bruiser/Augment synergy, add Renekton/Poppy for Fortress/Cybernetic synergy, add value champions such as Aurora/Urgot.

Strongly recommended when activating early 3 Nitro and Exotech items (Fluid Condenser, Pulse Stabilizer). Upgrading is more efficient than rerolling, Dynamo/Amplifier combination is possible besides Zeri. Up tempo when activating early 3 Nitro or acquiring Elise, can place in the top 4 when acquiring Zeri at level 8. Aphelios can replace Zeri (handle Guinsoo's Rageblade and Sharpshooter synergy), Techies/Ox Force synergy when adding Viego.

Miss Fortune deck that utilizes Xayah items after the Animal Squad Xayah nerf. Utilize value champions or Dynamo synergy instead of 5 Crime City Nightmare. Two-way threat with Xayah, decide based on which one appears first at level 8 after Infinity Edge build-up.

Tier 1/Tier 2 determined by item situation, high Aphelios/Xayah item dependency. Composition selectable when there are many AD items. Basic 4 Sharpshooter 4 Vanguard, utilize 6 Vanguard when Transcendence augment or frontline is weak. Need flexible composition changes to maintain damage/tank balance.

Add Brand/Zyra after removing Annie/Yuumi from the existing Strategist deck. Changed to an AP ultimate roll composition after the Annie nerf. Prohibit item investment in Annie, invest in Brand/Ziggs. Add Kobuko at level 8 to activate Bruiser/Cybernetic synergy.

Zeri+Zed deck is overwhelmingly the GOAT operation when selecting Cipher. Guaranteed 2nd place or higher when Cipher reward is 400 or more, can place in the top 4/1st place even with 200~300 reward. Cipher is a bonus, can copy scores when mastered. Zed placement tip: Adjust Zed's position according to the opponent's ranged dealer's position (place in the third row), hit the opponent's ADC with the first ultimate.
