Tempo is the currency of Vanguard Aphelios: race to level 8, then spend everything finding Sentinel and the rest of the four-cost core. Patch 18.2 numbers put it at Tier C: 4.85 average over roughly 16,500 lobbies.
Zoom out and it is the 36th-strongest of 54 tracked comps and, as 6th among 14 Tier-C comps, 0.04 better than the Tier C median of 4.89. Middling popularity: 1.3% of tracked games, with the median comp at 0.91 percent.
