In the Battle of the Golden Shovel, there have been several versions without a strong assassin lineup, and there are even some seasons where the assassin fetters have been completely eliminated. Rogues in the S9 season can be regarded as assassins. However, compared with previous assassins, they are still inferior because they no longer jump to the back row at the beginning, but wait until the health value is lower than 50%. Will jump to the back row.
There are four stalkers in the S9 season, the highest are three-fee cards, namely Ekko and Katarina. Here is an introduction to the lineup and gameplay:
This lineup has a population of seven, and the matching bonds are 3 Freljord, 3 Noxus, 2 Rogues, and 2 Oracles
Some early-stage lineups are easy to form, but they require many three-star heroes to score points. Without three-star heroes, the blood cannot be locked. Such a dog-fighting lineup is actually unstable in gaining points. Because once you can't get three stars quickly, it's easy for Lao Ba to be eliminated. There are also some lineups that require eight or even nine people to form. The score is also unstable because the operational requirements are relatively high. If there is too much blood loss, it will not last until it is formed.
In contrast, Kalilina's lineup can easily lock in blood with two stars in the early stage, and can easily enter the top three with three stars. It can be regarded as a relatively stable lineup.
If you're looking for stability, Drizzt's is better because you can get the right equipment. Otherwise, even Kalilina and Ekko have three stars, and they don't have much output without equipment. Moreover, if you combine the equipment in the early stage, the blood lock will be more stable and it will be easier to achieve a winning streak.
Before Visin, you could use Archer + Fighter, both costs one and two, and it was easy to take shape in the early stage. If you make Katarina's equipment, you can use a mage to transition. Swain is a mage. If you add a mage in the back row, Katarina's equipment can work for him.
If everything goes well, you can brush cards with seven people. If you can't lock it in the early stage, you can also use six people to increase the quality in a small D wave to avoid too much blood. Generally speaking, if there is a two-star Swain and a set of defensive equipment is given to him, it will not be a big problem to lock the health to seven people.
After seven people, give priority to chasing out three-star Swain, three-star Katarina, an early main tank, and a main C.
Katarina's skill burst damage is very high and can easily kill enemies instantly, so the equipment must be violent enough. One piece of Hand of Justice is unstable in blood-stealing and easy to die suddenly. If you want to use Hand of Justice, you can use two pieces.
This version of Stalker has a very big nemesis, and that is Piltover Rez. His skill can generate an isolation zone. In this isolation zone, Stalker cannot jump out at all and is completely trapped.
