Ionia Flex

S-TierFast 8

Ionia Flex adapts to one of five random paths each game, making it incredibly versatile. The composition can pivot between AD carries (Yone, Yunara) and AP carries (Ahri) depending on items and the Ionia path rolled. Sett provides massive disruption and damage when he returns Pumped Up. The flexibility makes this comp hard to counter.
