Stage 2
Ideally play from Cait 2 + Vi/Loris opener. Can roll for Bard if it doesn't cost much to get him like with epoch or trade sector.
Stage 3
Play around 4 Piltover and prioritize strongest board. Don't chase 3* -- we don't go for Cait 3 anymore after the 3 star caster nerf.
Stage 4
Ideally unlock T-Hex and play 6 Piltover + Gunslinger and Warden. Look for Mining Drill to Fast 9. If you miss Drill, only play 6 Piltover until you find stuff like Azir. 2nd T-Hex with items is another win con.
