Azir: share Star Gems and flood the board with champions

Azir · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14

At six stars, shared Star Gems make successive champions cheaper while Chosen by the Stars supplies the combat keywords to finish.

Build

Needs 6★Champion level 30

Overview

Azir changes sharply at six stars, when his items and relics are shared with the other champions in his deck and hand. Stacking Star Gem is the popular core; this version adds Chosen by the Stars as the third slot. The older three-star sacrifice build is a different plan from this six-star champion discount engine.

The build

Two Star Gem slots

Each equipped gem supplies an in-play aura that gives allied champions +1|+1 and reduces their cost by two. At six stars the other champions receive the relics too, so each champion you deploy makes the next cheaper. These are champion auras, not a global Power that works before a champion enters play.

Chosen by the Stars

Fated and Augment help the champion grow; at ten Power, Empowered supplies Overwhelm, Regeneration and Challenger. The shared copies let the whole champion board benefit. The relic does not immediately give every keyword to an unbuffed champion below the threshold.

How to play

Draft an affordable support champion and prioritize champion upgrades on Azir, whose items are shared at Game Start. Start with the champion you can afford, then use the stacking discounts to deploy the remaining champions. Keep enough draw to find them; the discount does not tutor cards from the deck.

Unit and Landmark summons advance Buried Sun Disc at three stars, and restoration refills mana. At six stars, added Renekton and Nasus also help complete the Ascended plan. Compare actual Power with the ten-Power threshold before relying on the keyword relic to push through blockers.

Drafting and alternatives

Oath of the Guardians with two Star Gem gives more leveled champions, and Crownguard Inheritance adds level-up Rallies. These need the same six-star sharing upgrade to become a team plan.

Below six stars, run Corrupted Star Fragment / Death's Foil / The Beast Within: consume a disposable supported ally, preserve your champion while attacking, and give the team Overwhelm. Below six stars the choices differ: don't copy the Star Gem loop without the sharing star power.

Star-power checkpoint

Glory of the Sands II

Game Start: Summon a Buried Sun Disc. Advance it 1 round whenever you summon a unit or Landmark.
When you Restored Sun Disc, refill your mana.

Shurima's Legacy

At six stars this creates two additional Ascended champions in your deck and grants the main champion's items to other champions in deck and hand at Game Start. This is the sharing effect the two-gem plan needs.
