Best Items for Inferno Emblem Comps · Patch 18.5
On Patch 18.5, 14 of the 36 comps on the Set 18 tier list are built around an Inferno Emblem — it unlocks a new tier on 13 of them and deepens a line the board already runs on the rest. Their carries’ recorded builds use 24 items at least 1,000 times each. The most built is Guinsoo's Rageblade (mostly on Draven and Caitlyn), and the one most specific to these boards is Bloodthirster, built 2.9× as often here as across the whole tier list.
