The Dominant Power of the U Linh Tribe
At the launch of Season 11 of TFT, the U Linh tribe did not receive much attention as compositions like Sử Gia and Thần Thoại were proving to be too strong. However, after a heavy nerf to the Thần Thoại composition (specifically Bard), the U Linh tribe has gradually revealed its “overwhelming” strength. The most noticeable point of this tribe is that it possesses a very strong frontline with Shen and Aatrox, which can easily combine with the Brawler or Giant systems.
Moreover, most U Linh champions have the ability to deal multiple hits in a short time and activate this tribe’s effect very well. This provides an incredibly terrifying damage amplification for the composition. Therefore, with just 1-2 invested carries, the U Linh composition is more than enough to sweep the battlefield and secure victory. As a result, U Linh has quickly risen to S rank (very strong) in most TFT statistics.
Building the U Linh Composition
At the early game stage, Caitlyn and the unit are very important as they contribute a significant amount of damage to the composition. Players can pair this champion with Kog’Maw to activate the Sniper system. For the frontline position, players can flexibly switch between the Brawler (Aatrox) or Giant (Shen) systems depending on the game situation.
By level 6, players will need to reroll a bit to upgrade Aatrox, Shen, and look for Illaoi to complete the 4 U Linh threshold. If many Senna are obtained during the roll, players can consider using this unit as a carry. Then supplement Jax to reach the 3 Shadow level for high-value tattoos. Otherwise, players should consider saving gold to level up to 8 as quickly as possible.
In the late game stage, the duo of Morgana and Kayn will be the most valuable addition to the U Linh composition. Besides activating the 6-unit threshold, they also bring damage and annoying effects over a wide area. If there’s a winning streak and players can reach level 9, they should aim for strong and versatile 5-cost champions like Udyr and Wukong…
Items and Technology Core
If playing with Senna as the main carry, Death’s Sword and Green Bow will be extremely strong items for this champion. In case Kayn is used as the main carry, players should aim for Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, and Giant Slayer to ensure damage output. For the Technology Core choice, upgrades that increase the tankiness of the frontline or provide additional items are very suitable for this composition.
