Sharpshooter – Spirit
The weakness of this composition is that you do not have a true frontline, as both the Sharpshooters and Spirits have relatively low health. Therefore, to help your composition survive, Teamfight Tactics players must combine Iron Solari’s Mandate for Diana. It will help your Sharpshooter champions avoid being taken down too quickly and have enough time to deal damage. Combined with a hyper-roll strategy, the shields that Iron Solari’s Mandate generates are enormous.
Without Iron Solari’s Mandate, this composition can be easily defeated, even if you hyper-roll successfully. This makes all the effort you put into upgrading champions like Tristana, Teemo, or Diana to 3 stars meaningless. The advice is that when you play the Sharpshooter – Spirit composition, prioritize combining Iron Solari’s Mandate before any damage items. If possible, a Zz’Rot Portal for Diana is also an excellent choice.
Frontline – Legend
The annoyance of the Frontline – Legend composition lies in its excessive toughness with a large amount of armor and magic resistance. The downside is that the Frontline – Legend team only has one damage dealer named Neeko. To enable this unit to perform its role as the “carry,” you must equip Neeko with a Gemstone Gauntlet. This item allows Neeko’s skill to deal a massive amount of area damage.
Besides the Gemstone Gauntlet, you should combine 2 defensive items to help Neeko cast her skill multiple times. Guardian Angel is the best choice as it ensures Neeko can still deal significant damage even after being taken down the first time. Hextech Gunblade with its strong healing effect is also an extremely good choice in the late game. Additionally, you can choose between Quicksilver, Trap Claw… but Gemstone Gauntlet is always the most important item that players must combine.
Assassin – Ninja
In the current version, the strong roll strategy at level 7 is proving to be extremely hot as you have a very high chance of obtaining a 3-cost Chosen. This directly benefits the Assassin – Ninja composition as it possesses 2 strong 3-cost units, Akali and Kennen. As for Akali, she will play the role of the main damage dealer in the mid-game. Therefore, the Assassin – Ninja team relies heavily on having Infinity Edge and Blue Buff, as Akali will be very “weak” without these 2 items.
Akali in Season 4 has a very interesting interaction where her skill range will always match her attack range. Therefore, when equipped with Infinity Edge, Akali can cast her skill from a very safe distance. As for the Blue Buff, this item helps Akali recharge her energy very effectively and can continuously cast her skills. In summary, these 2 items will significantly boost Akali’s power, and players need to complete them early if they do not want their carry to lack damage.
