Hey, I don't play Set 15 anymore, but thanks to the new game mode, we can experience Set 7.5 again. In the past, there used to be an interim set until the next set came out, with some champions and mechanics changing. Now, they're bringing back old sets so people don't get bored.

You can watch the gameplay here without commentary:
This game mode also has universes. There was a crab party in this game too. The crabs drop extra items and gold.
I chose Prismatic Ticket as my first augment. I didn't want to commit to any particular composition. Hopefully, I'll know which composition I'll be playing by the time I choose my next augment.
Early in the game, I won 3 games and lost 2. Not bad, and I know which composition I'll play. I'll play Gnar as a carry.
I chose Stand United as my second augment. This augment grants you 1.5% attack damage and 1.5% ability power for every non-unique active ability on your team.
Even though I was on a winning streak, I didn't want to mess up my economy, so I didn't rush to 3-star Gnar. Apparently, my opponent didn't rush either, but they were very lucky. They managed to 2-star Graves lol. That ruined my winning streak.
I managed to get Gnar to 3 stars at the beginning of phase 4. I think Gnar's best three items are Bloodthirster, Titan's Resolve, and Guinsoo's Rageblade. But finding all three of these items isn't easy. I currently have two Guinsoo's Rageblades and one Hand of Justice.
I chose Belt Overflow as my final augment. This augment is one of the best tank augments. It grants you 5 Giant's Belts, and this item provides an additional 60 health.
There are no power fruits in this game mode. Instead, there is a treasure round at the end of the fourth stage. You are given options, and you can either select one directly or refresh it for 1 gold. Sometimes, emblems can also appear in this treasure round.
I actually have a very powerful composition, but it's not good enough to beat a completed Mirage composition. I'll level up after a few rounds, and once I activate the 4 Shapeshifter traits, everything will be complete.
I eliminated two people in two rounds lol. I must admit these weren't strong teams. By the way, while every composition can be played in Set 7.5, some are stronger than others. For example, the Gnar carry composition you see right now is an S-tier composition, meaning it's a composition that can consistently place in the top 4 in every game.
This time, I also defeated and eliminated a Darkflight composition. I guess I'm the angel of death in this lobby. Everyone I face dies. I hope I can finish the game in 1st place too.
Now my composition is complete. I activated 7 Jade and 4 Shapeshifter traits. I think this is the strongest level this composition can reach. Because activating 10 Jade with 4 Shapeshifter traits is almost impossible. You need to put 2 dragons, and they take up 4 slots. For 10 Jade, you need 2 emblems and to put all Jade champions on the board.
We ended up with another powerful composition for the final two. Mage is really overpowered in every set. I guess the people who designed the set really love playing Mage.
I tweaked my lineup a bit, and I think it worked. I almost lost without killing any champions earlier, but this time Shyvana and Gnar survived. This duo is also my two carries. Shyvana's best items are Bloodthirster, Jeweled Gauntlet, and Rabadon's Deathcap. This allows her to deal maximum damage.
I managed to get Shi Oh Yu to 3 stars before the final fight. Finding 9 of these 7-gold dragons and buying only them costs 63 gold. The problem is that it didn't feel that powerful. In fact, it almost died. If it can die that easily despite having two health regeneration items, it doesn't deserve to be in the title :P
It wasn't an easy first place, but it was a fun game. I don't know if I could have won without Shi Oh Yu being 3-starred. My opponent also made a 2-star Aurelion Sol into a Mage, and he was extremely powerful. Anyway, GG!
