Demacia Slayers Patch 13.17

Demacia has undergone a lot of changes in Set 9.5, the most important one is that if a unit receives a free Radiant Item from the trait, then this item will be specificially tailored to that unit. Before the items would reset every round and select one item from a fitting selection, but this is not the case anymore. For Example Fiora will currently always receive a Radiant Sterak and if you give Mordekaiser a Demacia Emblem he will receive a Radiant Nashor's Tooth.

While you can fit 7 Demacia without an Emblem, it is much easier to only commit on vertical Demacia if you find the Emblem early. This way you can aim for 7 Demacia with 4 Slayer in late game and have Mordekaiser with powerful items as a tanky AP Carry to support your Fiora. If you can't find the Emblem and want to play Fiora/Morde you can cut down to 3 Demacia and fill up your board with more Slayers instead.

You can open with Demacia/Slayer but it's not required. Your overall goal is to rush for Level 7 in Stage 4-1 and roll down to stabilize. From here you can either stay Level 7 and finish Quinn*3 or push for Level 8 to include 4 Slayer and look for Aatrox.
