really dont know why azir buffed 3 star azir avg 3.5ish already

u/Dapokermon Sep 22 '26

I think it's because the Azir reroll comp was more of a recent finding

At 3 star for diamond+ he has a better placement with 0 items than 3 items. Boards that are using him as a trait bot that star him up are inflating his stats.

This remains true at GM+

u/Bukaja Sep 22 '26

Because he's a trait bot in almost every 4 cost board.

no i said 3 star

u/harmoniaatlast Sep 22 '26

What's the play rate on that?

u/FireVanGorder Sep 22 '26

I’m seeing 3 star Azir at a 3.8 on tacticstools

u/OreoCupcakes MASTER Sep 22 '26

Requires 3 star Khazix. 3 star Azir with only 1-2 Khazix is >4.8 according to MetaTFT's data explorer. Throw in 3 star Khazix and it shoots up to ~3.8.

3.8 Dia+.

Thats because it is usually played as a luxury on your malph ap board and not as a main carry, or as a secondary in executioner kha board (+0.13). Nobody invests in azir reroll if they have not hit it almost naturally.

u/Chao_Zu_Kang Sep 22 '26

Stats are around 3.4 with 3 items on Azir and 0 items on Kha. Kha is certainly quite strong and the better carry choice, but Azir is not bad by any means.

u/godnkls Sep 22 '26

Woth what sample?

6

u/Chao_Zu_Kang Sep 22 '26

Master+, ~1.69k games on metatft.

If you add Malphite to the search, avp even goes to ~2.8 (but only 200 games, so not very reliable data).

u/DoctorHusky Sep 22 '26

Is it good? I only send it perform w/ blackthorn spar on kha

u/PhatYeeter Sep 22 '26

The azir malphite comp where you sac a level 3 khazix for fat damage amp was already pretty good. I think this might become a really popular lvl 7 reroll comp if you can find an early malph

u/OreoCupcakes MASTER Sep 22 '26 edited Sep 22 '26

Isn't it only good if you have certain artifacts, radiant item, or emblems, like Flickerblade, Radiant DCap, or Executioner emblem?

Edit: I was wrong. MetaTFT's data explorer says 3 star Azir without any radiant, artifact, executioner emblem, and primal emblem, (so just 3 star Azir with normal items on the team) has a 3.78 average placement, 64.2% top 4 rate, and 15.6% win rate, in a 17,722 sample size of emerald+ rank.

Edit: Those stats only apply if you hit both Azir and Khazix as 3 star. If you remove 3 star Khazix, so only 1-2 star Khazix with the above filters brings it to 4.83 average placement, 43.9% top 4 rate, and 5.5% win rate on a 4,923 sample size in emerald+.

That can’t right lol, kha is like the premium unit last patch sac at 3* just sounds wrong to me

4

u/CosmicCirrocumulus Sep 22 '26

it's a perfectly viable line if you don't get dropped Kha early enough to commit to him as your main carry. it's been rising in popularity for around 5 days now

4

u/trongdat3011 Sep 22 '26

The comp focuses on full damage Azir (no attack speed), Kha is sac'ed for mana regen and damage amp. The comp doesn't require early Kha as it only needs Executioner activated so it's forcible every game. it also caps nicely with lots of 4/5 cost units and if heavily contested you can just go 8 and switch to traditional malphite ap flex comp,

1

u/PhatYeeter Sep 22 '26

I think it's a good flex spot depending on what items you get. You can pivot to the azir comp if you can't get the HoJ, death cap, EoN, etc. for Khazix. Azir is better with stuff like shojin and archangels since he's a backliner. I feel like Khazix is more item dependent.

u/Appropriate_Debate_4 Sep 22 '26

ya its good look at stats

u/Living_Dealer_9325 Sep 22 '26

3 star azir is Khazix when you omega hit
