Best comps for Silco
3. MAGICAL VOID
Image
Synergies:
6 Sorcerer
2 Multicast
3 Void
2 Strategist
This comp is one of the strongest teams in terms of dealing damage, as it revolves around the sorcerer trait.
You will need a sorcerer emblem for Jarvan IV.
Best team for this comp:
1. Silco is the main damage dealer from the backlines, sharing the sorcerer trait.
2. Vel’Koz is a great pick as he shares the sorcerer trait with the team, the Void trait with Malzahar and Kassadin, and the Multicaster trait with Taliyah.
3. Malzahar shares the sorcerer trait and the Void trait.
4. Taliyah will be activating the Mutlicaster trait, which allows her and Vel’Koz to cast their abilities twice. She will also be stunning 2 enemies instead of 1.
5. Kassadin is your bastion and a Void member, making him a great tank.
6. Taric is a must, as he shares the sorcerer trait with the team and the bastion trait with Kassadin.
7. Swain will be your 5th sorcerer, sustaining a lot of damage on the front lines while sharing the strategist trait with Jarvan IV.

2. TONS OF HEALTH
Image
Synergies:
6 Bruiser
2 Sorcerer
3 Void
This comp is one of the strongest comps in Set 9.5 so far as it’s perfectly balanced with unbalanced champions such as Cho’Gath.
The comp revolves around having huge tanks with the bruiser trait while being able to deal massive amounts of damage.
This is a slow reroll in the early game until you get Cho’Gath, Renekton, and Malzahar to level 3, then a fast reroll to level 8 with a strong economy to get the rest to level 2 at least.
Try having a slayer emblem or heart, as it will greatly increase your stats as Rek’Sai will be able to deal extra damage.
Best team for this comp:
1. Cho’Gath will be the main tank and damage dealer, sharing the Void and bruiser traits, as he will be consuming champions to gain more health, and the more health he gets, the more damage he deals.
2. Rek’Sai will be the second damage dealer, as he shares the bruiser and void traits as well.
3. Silco will be the main damage dealer in the backlines, sharing the sorcerer trait.
4. Malzahar is the 3rd Void member and the second sorcerer.
5. Renekton will be sharing the bruiser trait.
6. Vi will be the 4th bruiser, sustaining a lot of damage with her shield.
7. Sion is the Tier 5 bruiser member, which makes him a beast.
8. Sejuani is the tier 4 bruiser member, freezing enemies.
1. TACTICS
Image
Synergies:
4 Strategist
1 Darkin’
2 Sorcerer
2 Juggernaut
3 Noxus
2 Shurima
This comp revolves around the strategist trait, which greatly increases the backlines’ ability power, and the frontlines are provided with a huge shield.
Azir and Silco will be the main damage dealers, so it’s a fast reroll to level 8 with a strong economy as most of the team is a Tier 4 or 5 champion.
Best team for this build:
1. Silco is a great damage dealer from the backlines, sharing the sorcerer trait.
2. Azir is the main damage dealer, sharing both the Shurima and strategist traits, which make him ascend and deal huge amounts of damage.
3. Miss Fortune is the 2nd strategist, dealing some good damage.
4. Nasus is the 2nd Shurima to activate the trait while being a Juggernaut member with Aatrox, which makes them tanks.
5. Swain is the 3rd strategist and 2nd sorcerer.
6. Jarvan IV is the 4th strategist, greatly increasing the AP of backlines and shields for frontlines.
7. Aatrox is your 2nd Juggernaut, dealing a lot of damage as a Darkin’.
8. Sion is a great tank while sharing the Noxus trait that requires a Noxus emblem for the team to be activated.
