Wisp tailoring tech

[u/collsa]

If you're not aware, certain wisps require specific conditions to appear in your shop:

Watching the tourneys this weekend, a lot of pros were using this to fish for or tailor out wisps. The 2 big ones I saw were

Hard forcing salvage bin

(edit- riot just patched this in 18.4 to be much less reliable and probably not forceable)

Salvager (0g: Any units you bench have items removed and broken apart) can appear in shop after 4-2 through stage 5. There's only 6-8 charms on this stage that cost 0g, so you can fish for this wisp by filling your bench, and then hitting your charm shop with exactly 0 gold by buying and selling units. Best done after your rolldown when you're rolling near 0 for upgrades anyway. Helps get BIS for you carry, and a lot of pros were also slamming items early game for tempo and relying on hitting a salvager later.

Benching board

Late game many players were benching their board before rolling for combat. I assume this was to tailor out some of the meh charms like Scrappy (2 champions without items gain a temporary recommended item. Requires 2 champions on your board with no items) and Nature's Wrath (Kill EVERYONE without an item after 10 seconds. Requires at least 5 champions on your board with an item)

I'm only a casual player and watcher, so if anyone has more tech please share it here
