 Blackfeather Ez to kill with Agent of Wrath

 Kestrel Ez to kill with Agent of Wrath

 Ozo SAW has more lifesteal than Ozo, so you should be able to win this trade.
1
 Rona Rona is a mid-game hero, so you should have the better items by then, or you should've won the game.

 Skaarf Early game = sitting duck.

3
 Ardan Ardan was at point a jungle carry due to his high attack speed, and low basic attack cooldown (Blood for Blood). Expect to lose lots of health when he has a Stormguard Banner.
4
 Adagio Check his build, it matters
4
 Catherine Annoying but can't do much to you.
4
 SAW SAW vs SAW you should have the better items, since you've been farming w/ Adagio and Ardan.
5
 Celeste Early game is easy, just be careful.
5
 Krul Can't do much to you until mid-game.
5
 Phinn Crystal Phinn can wreck pretty hard, use a Vanguard to give SAW a boost out of Quibble.
6
 Glaive If tension bow is purchased, make sure to grab an Oakheart or Dragonheart.
6
 Reim Fortified health is super annoying. Partnered with Phinn will drive you crazy.
7
 Joule Jump is cancer, and opens up a opportunity for her teammates to attack you. Especially annoying when paired with a Catherine and is the jungler.
7
 Ringo Low health, but high damage.
7
 Taka Make sure to grab flares and scout traps.

Intro Top

What's the push comp?

The push comp (usually) is SAW, Adagio, and Ardan.

Why's it so good?

This is a very strong early comp, and is able to finish games in <15 minutes.

How do you do it?

All 3 players must stay in lane for as long as possible, with Ardan having an Ironguard Contract, and Adagio having a Energy Battery/ Crystal Bit. (This comp is especially effective when you're in a party and you have communication.

Sidenote: I will be writing SAW's information in Red, Adagio's information in Blue, and Ardan's information in Yellow; to indicate their corresponding roles.

Early Game Top

SAW Pick up a Book of Eulogies to prolong your farming session. You should be farming for a few minutes at a time. Don't go home to shop unless you absolutely have to. Remember: Your teammates should be helping you stay alive so don't be afraid to turret dive weak targets.

Adagio Start with a Crystal Bit or Energy Battery. If you get an Energy Battery, go start in lane. If you get a Crystal Bit, do ONE jungle rotation and head to lane. Heal your leading lane minion and buff SAW (preferably near the enemy turret).

Ardan Buy an Ironguard Contract and head to lane with SAW. Remember: This is called the push comp for a reason, so help SAW push the turret, and give him a Vanguard when necessary. Consider replacing your potions with a scout trap in the enemy bush.

Mid to Late Game (~5 - 15 Minutes) Top

SAW You should now have 2 damage items, and Travel Boots. You should also have destroyed at least a couple turrets. Keep farming and getting the items listed.

Adagio The most common mistake of the push comp is that the other players start regularly farming in jungle. Whatever you do, DON'T farm if SAW is in lane. A missed chance buffing SAW is a missed chance at killing a turret or enemy.

Ardan Same as Adagio (see above).

Reasons for Items Top

SAW
Sorrowblade increases your basic attack damage, which helps you kill enemies and turrets. Tyrant's Monocle increases Crit Chance and Crit Damage, which pairs extremely well with SAW's heroic perk, as this greatly increases the chance of a crit because of the attack speed.
Tornado Trigger increases Crit Chance and Attack Speed which allows you to do more basic attacks. Pairs very well with said items. Serpent Mask lets you stay in battle longer because of the lifesteal, and with the other damage items, it's very easy to get kills.

Adagio
Shatterglass greatly increases your Crystal Power which makes your heal and buff VERY strong.

Ardan
Because Adagio and SAW are slow (Adagio literally means slow...) When the enemy uses a stun/ultimate.
In case Adagio runs out of energy. Because SAW's chase game is too weak!!! Also more health. Health is good for you.

Conclusion Top

The push comp is very strong and is even used at high level gameplay. It's also very fun to have fast games and just wrecking your opponents. I don't do builds often, but when I do, I make sure they're long as hell... Please give me feedback about whether you like in-depth guides or not. Have fun and hope to see you on the Fold!
