아칼리

아칼리 is a 2-cost N.O.V.A. and 습격자 champion that usually plays as a melee damage frontliner. Its main job is to stabilize the frontline and complete traits, so avoid leaving it as the only first target. 아칼리 appears in Swarm-Storm and NOVA YI lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

Consider playing around 아칼리 when you naturally upgrade it between Stage 2 and Stage 3 and can afford to slow roll. For items, 밤의 끝자락 and 정의의 손길 are strong signals that 아칼리 can stay on the board. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward Swarm-Storm and NOVA YI. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

밤의 끝자락, 정의의 손길 and 무한의 대검 are recommended. 밤의 끝자락 drops aggro once to protect a fragile melee carry, 정의의 손길 gives flexible damage and healing and 무한의 대검 increases physical burst through stronger critical strikes. The point of the setup is to keep it alive long enough to cast and hold the frontline.

When the perfect setup is not available, use 수은, 피바라기, 거인의 결의 and 마법공학 총검 as substitutes. For frontline substitutes, prioritize durability, sustain, and opening damage reduction without stealing every carry item. If 아칼리 is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.

Early: a two-star 아칼리 can stabilize well when N.O.V.A. and 습격자 is already active. Mid game: decide between slow rolling for upgrades or using it as a bridge while leveling. Late game: keep it when the items and traits still point toward it; otherwise upgrade into a higher-cost carry or tank.

Place 아칼리 in the first row on a side, or in the second row when it needs protection. It should enter combat quickly without eating every enemy attack at once. Its mana bar is short, so surviving lets it cast repeatedly.
