Annie
- Capture any Super Star, regardless of their class.
- Capture when equipped with AP items or a Tear of the Goddess.
- Ability: Shoots a fireball at the target. If used at least 4 times in combat, fires an additional fireball and increases damage by 50%. The Super Star effect boosts AP by 20%.
Annie is currently the best 1-cost Super Star, offering high damage with single-target focus. Consider her as a more sophisticated version of Cassiopeia, and in the early game with limited options, her single-target damage is crucial. Capture Annie regardless of the Super Star's class, as both Artisan and Emo synergies are potent. Use Annie as a frontline mage initially and later transition into a KDA Ahri or Vex reroll composition.
Jinx
- Only capture if you have at least one Recurve Bow or a B.F. Sword.
- Capture before round 2-2 with a Punk unit; concerning Jinx, the Super Star's class is not crucial.
- Ability: Mini-gun innate accelerates attacks, rocket launcher increases damage. When activated, switches between the two gun modes. The Super Star effect enhances attack speed and damage for both gun modes.
Jinx is currently the strongest 1-cost ranged attacker. The Jinx reroll Punk strategy is a relatively straightforward and easy-to-develop tactic. The advantage is that you can assemble Punk from the Golden Shovel, making it effective later on when giving the emblem to 5-cost champions. When playing Jinx, consider losing streaks to gather Golden Shovels from the shop and have the gold to roll for Punk's innate ability.
Corki
- Capture regardless of the Super Star's class.
- Capture when equipped with AD items such as Recurve Bow, B.F. Sword, or Sparring Gloves.
- Ability: Deals damage to a surrounding area and reduces their healing. The Super Star effect increases AP by 20%. The Super Star effect adds an extra 20%.
If you get Corki early, it will help accumulate high scores for 8-bit, setting the stage for Caitlyn later on. Moreover, Corki's damage is also single-target focused, making it easier to score points and maintain a winning streak. Any Super Star synergy with Corki is excellent, similar to Punk; you can build 8-bit from the Golden Shovel, ensuring late-game strength without worries of falling behind.
Bard
- Only capture if you have a Tear of the Goddess or can immediately assemble Shojin.
- Capture if you have multiple AP items.
- Ability: Plays 4 random notes, dealing damage/healing allies or a gold. Super Star effect: every 10 skill uses add 1 Meep; on the first use, each Meep plays an extra note.
Bard is advantageous early on as it helps you accumulate economy; the drawback is only capture when there are items boosting energy quickly. Bard's actual damage is potent and aids healing; it often synergizes with Disco and later transitions into Virtuoso, following the Twisted Fate late-game path. Bard's items like Shojin can also be used for Twisted Fate, making it an eco strategy to reach level 8 and then spend gold.
Katarina
- Recommended to capture if the Super Star is Fervor.
- Capture if you have multiple AP items.
- Ability: Throws a dagger that bounces three times, dealing damage with each bounce. Super Star effect: the last bounce deals an additional 66% damage.
In Season 10, Katarina has evolved into a ranged DPS dealer rather than an assassin. When playing this strategy, commit to slow-rolling both Katarina and Samira. In the late game, add Rural to build tankiness. Katarina Super Star is virtually unrivaled in damage among the 2-cost champions, so capturing her early ensures a long winning streak, snowballing into the mid-game, completing the 3-star champion for a top 1 finish.
Here are some Super Star champions you can capture early on. Additionally, notable mentions like Evelynn, Aphelios, Kayle, or Jax are also viable, though not as powerful as the mentioned champions. Be cautious of falling for Yasuo, as the Yasuo reroll strategy has been significantly nerfed on the PBE, making it challenging to play in the current meta.
