To align with this team composition, seasoned players often employ a rush to Level 8 strategy to swiftly complete their team and gain the full benefits of the class and origin synergies.

Duelist - Marksman Composition
The reason why top players often rush to Level 8 early to use this team composition is because this composition only truly shines when it has all the class and origin synergies, especially the Duelist origin when having 6 duelists doubles their strength. Moreover, most units in this composition are 3-4$ cost, so rushing to Level 8 first will increase the chances of obtaining these crucial units.
Guide on how to build the Duelist - Marksman Composition.
- At the beginning of the match, you can pick any unit that can reach 2 stars to maintain health, prioritize selecting Warwick, Tristana, and Lucian to potentially form an early Marksman set.
- Once you have a basic team composition, start selling unnecessary units to accumulate gold.
After acquiring a Level 6 team composition, focus on saving gold and upgrading whenever possible. Do not hoard too much gold; prioritize upgrading when your team composition has enough units. At Level 7, you can consider replacing 1 Marksman with 6 Duelists to maximize their strength. Complete the Level 8 upgrade and acquire the Marksman set as early as possible, then start rolling to complete your team composition.
Note:
- JinX serves as the primary damage dealer for this lineup, so prioritize items like Infinity Edge or Giant Slayer for her.
- The Duelist composition plays extremely agile, Blade of the Ruined King should be prioritized for this lineup as it deals a substantial amount of standard damage to the opposing team.
- Items with effects such as Runaan's Hurricane, Last Whisper, or Quicksilver should be prioritized for Lucian and then followed by Miss Fortune.
- If you have Thief's Gloves, Vi is a solid choice for utilizing this item effectively.
- If you have multiple items boosting spell power, consider letting Cho'Gath utilize them to make the most of his wide area damage, and potentially even standard damage if Void buffed correctly.
