Best Items for Elderwood Emblem Comps · Patch 18.5
On Patch 18.5, 4 of the 36 comps on the Set 18 tier list are built around an Elderwood Emblem — it unlocks a new tier on 2 of them and deepens a line the board already runs on the rest. Their carries’ recorded builds use 10 items at least 1,000 times each. The most built is Guinsoo's Rageblade (mostly on Draven and Aphelios), and the one most specific to these boards is Kraken's Fury, built 5.3× as often here as across the whole tier list.
