VanBard Vex 9-5
Playstyle: Fast 9 (HARD)
The strongest AP Flex Level 9 board. 4 Vanguard is shown but frontline is quite flexible. Ideally played from a win streak with lots of resources, an augment / situation that guarantees Vex (ex: Aura Farming), or transition from Leblanc Karma comp.

Stage 2
Play a standard AP win streak board ideally with an econ engine online such as Timebreaker or Primordian. Take econ augments if you can.
Stage 3
Continue leveling and win streaking. Look for upgraded 2 and 3 cost units to hold items. Vanguards and Shepherds into LeBlanc is a good core to play towards.
Stage 4
If far ahead in HP / win streaking, you can sac Stage 4 to get to 9. Otherwise, roll on 8 to stabilize first. At 9, always prioritize itemizing whichever upgraded units you hit first.
