Taric
Although he lacks crowd control or high damage output, Taric is currently an extremely strong counter-meta piece. With the Mystic trait, Taric helps melee units avoid being crowd-controlled to death without casting their abilities. This creates a significant advantage for players by reducing the impact of strong crowd control units like Viego, LeBlanc…
Not stopping there, this champion’s ability heals a large amount of health over a wide area and provides significant defensive stats. It can be said that Taric is the strongest unit in maintaining a snowball advantage in the late game of Teamfight Tactics season 5. The weakness of this champion is that he does not deal significant damage. However, providing such powerful defensive effects is reason enough to invest in Taric.
Rell
Although she has just appeared for the first time in Teamfight Tactics, Rell is already proving to be a terrifyingly perfect champion. Previously, frontline champions were known for their strong crowd control abilities to control fights. The role of buffing shields and protecting carries would typically be assigned to a support-oriented unit. However, Rell can effectively fulfill both of these roles with her ability, Field Link.
Furthermore, with the Knights’ ability to dash forward, Rell can always buff shields for the team’s carry, as long as you position them in a corner of the battlefield. Just with her ability, Field Link, players have more than enough reason to purchase Rell. She is also a very strong counter to Assassin compositions and creates enough time for the team’s carry to eliminate these troublesome units. If you need a strong tank that can be deployed immediately, Rell is the perfect choice.
Volibear
It’s not an exaggeration to say that thanks to Rell’s popularity, Volibear has become a highly favored champion among players at the moment. The reason is that this bear god possesses an ability capable of removing all shields on the opposing side. In fact, Volibear can use this skill more than once with the resurrection effect of the Spirit trait. Having Volibear in your composition gives you a high chance to quickly eliminate the opponent’s frontline.
The two best compositions currently utilizing Volibear are Celestial – Sorcerer and Dark Mystic – Assassin. With the Dark Mystic – Assassin composition, Volibear allows assassins like LeBlanc and Nocturne to eliminate opponents quickly. For the Celestial – Sorcerer team, this composition excels in dealing damage over time, making it wary of the large shields from Rell. Therefore, Volibear is the perfect choice for this team comp to deal effective damage in the late game.
