How to be the best support
What is support / Turtle
In games where team composition plays a key role, the support position often demands dedication and strategic thinking. As the shopkeeper, your primary goal is to bolster your strongest teammate, known as the carry, by rolling the item shop. While the best items may be rare, acquiring them is crucial, even if it means sacrificing your character quickly each round. That’s where the turtle’s strength lies – remaining in the shop to optimize item acquisition for your carry. This guide delves into the specific items you should prioritize to ensure your team’s success.
Start Small, Dream Big: ROUND 1 - 10
Your journey begins as the humble Little Turtle, a master of the shop and unsung hero of the team. In the early rounds, prioritize economic items for your carry. Think investments, trees, and anything that boosts their gold flow. Any lucky finds your carry doesn’t need? Snap them up for yourself! Remember, rolling is key! Aim for at least 5 rolls each round, even if your teammate’s pockets are bare. You can always lock down those juicy rare items and send them over next round.

As the mid-game unfolds, your focus shifts to your carry’s specific needs. Are they lacking defensive muscle? Prioritize items that shield them from harm. Craving raw power? Unleash the offensive arsenal! Unsure of their desires? Don’t be shy, ask! Communication is key.

End-Game Evolution: ROUND 17 – 20
The final rounds are your moment to shine! Shower your carry with top-tier damage items, transforming them into an unstoppable force. But remember, pacing is crucial! Don’t blow your entire budget in the last round. The reroll cost spikes, leaving you with fewer chances to find those game-winning items. Instead, spread your rolls across the final rounds, maximizing your reroll potential and securing your team’s victory.
