Ixtal Units
Milio
- Ixtal
- Invoker
Qiyana
- Ixtal
- Slayer
- Rogue
Neeko
- Ixtal
- Bastion
As Riot Mort has previously mentioned in his Horizonbound PBE Rundown video, Neeko although she’s a Bastion champion can deal significant amounts of damage so she can easily play out as a carry. This means that we might see a full Bastion team. In addition, Millio as an Invoker can create interesting team comps with the Ixtal use while Qiyana can utilize the Slayer and Rogue traits which went underused in the previous set.
