Item Priority

Vayne wants Hextech Gunblade and two copies of Kraken's Fury, a hybrid AD and AP on hit build that lets her shred through the enemy frontline. Lux takes the familiar Jeweled Gauntlet plus double Nashor's Tooth crit AP line. Garen and Galio both tank, sharing Gargoyle Stoneplate and Warmog's Armor, with Spirit Visage on Garen and Dragon's Claw on Galio for magic resist against heavy AP lobbies.

Augment Priority

Demacia trait augments are strong given how many Demacia bodies naturally fill this board. Otherwise take econ early, then prioritise whichever of Vayne's or Lux's item lines you're already halfway to completing. Don't split resources evenly between both carries once you know which one your items favour.

Flex Slots and Early Placeholders

Annie can be swapped in over a weaker Demacia body once her items line up, and is otherwise flexible depending on the lobby. Poppy, Xin Zhao, Jarvan IV, and Sona are all cheap enough to hold items early before Vayne and Lux come online.
