How to Play
Rocket Claws was recently renamed by Mobalytics from its previous name; it's the same slow-roll shell as Fae and Furious but built around Rengar with a Sprykin Emblem instead. Put the rider augment charge on Tristana if you have one.

Early Game
Xayah, Ornn, and Vi are cheap frontline pieces to hold from the start. Play a normal econ opening while banking toward level 7.
Mid Game
Hold at level 7 and slow roll for Rengar, Sivir, and Tristana copies. If a Fae Emblem shows up, pivot straight into the Fae and Furious version of this shell.
Late Game and Final Board
Ashe becomes a viable fourth damage source once you push to level 9 if your econ allows the extra push.
Best Items
Rengar wants Guinsoo's Rageblade and Edge of Night, plus a Sprykin Emblem if you find one; Sivir runs Red Buff and Last Whisper; Tristana takes Hextech Gunblade and Kraken's Fury.
Best Augments
Building an Army I and Slightly Magic Roll suit the early game; Heroic Grab Bag and Ascension II support the mid game; The Baron's Lair and Golden Ticket close it out.
Positioning
Rammus, Xayah, Ornn, and Vi wall the front. Keep Rengar, Sivir, and Tristana in separate backline corners.
Flex Units and Alternative Carries
This shares its core shell with Fae and Furious; pivot toward that version if a Fae Emblem drops instead of a Sprykin one.
Strengths and Weaknesses
One of the easier reroll comps in the current meta, rated Easy across the board. Its ceiling depends heavily on which emblem you find, so treat it as a flexible starting point rather than a fixed plan.
