Solomon

Board-control caster

Choose a coherent path

The reviewed default is board-control caster. An alternative is barrier support. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.

The latest patch favors some Bishop and Queen scaling while reducing Rook scaling. A generic marksman core ignores his piece interactions and reduced headshot damage.

Ability targets

The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 1, Setup Bishop. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.

Item direction

Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.

Playing against Solomon

Leave threatened squares and deny long setup zones; control and spirit protection have different roles.

A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
