2. ✨ Early Game Build-up and Core Synergies: Nova & Star Care
· Started with the 'Expedition' augment and built a strong early board with 2-star Akali.
· Nova synergy is similar to the old Guild synergy, granting synergy effects to the entire board. It activates with 2 units, and special effects trigger at high synergy levels.
· Akali's characteristic is that she moves and casts her skill if you have multiple copies.
· Star Care synergy activates set effects when champions are placed in specific hexes, similar to KDA or True Damage.
· In this game, we gained attack speed increase and health restoration for our bears upon killing specific enemies, with the synergy owner gaining additional attack speed.

3. 🚀 Graves Appears and First Upgrade Choice
· We leveled up quickly to trigger the 'Expedition' augment as soon as possible.
· Obtained an item augment as the second augment, and chose 'Implant' from the carousel, which increases health and size.
· After successfully hitting 80 damage, the 'Expedition' augment triggered, and Graves appeared.
· Since we had an A-tier item, we immediately equipped it to Graves, but we regretted it, thinking it would have been better to give 'Implant' to a frontline unit since it increased health, not attack speed.
· Graves' first upgrade could be chosen from melee dealer, skill dealer, or auto-attack dealer. We chose the auto-attack dealer option, which has a 22% chance to strike twice.

4. 🌟 Maximizing 'Misfits' Augment and Unique Trait Synergy
· Graves isn't strong early on, but he becomes very powerful as he accumulates upgrades.

· For the third augment, we chose 'Misfits'. This augment increases the health of all champions on the board by 65 for each active unique trait.
· With a 5-cost champion received from 'Expedition', 'Misfits' was the best augment.
· Last and Miss Fortune, obtained through 'Misfits', have unique traits despite being 3-cost.
· Last increases team-wide attack speed and armor/magic resist by the number of unique traits, and Miss Fortune's unique trait effect is choosing one of three synergies.
