Demons – Gunner
It seems the allure of 4-star carries like Aphelios, Lucian, and Draven is so strong that many have forgotten that Tristana has also been significantly buffed in patch 11.19. With increased base damage, starting mana, and most importantly, improved positioning from her Rocket Jump ability, Tristana can deliver an incredibly high amount of damage. When combined with Gunner units, Tristana becomes even more potent in “cleaning up” the enemy team.
Essentially, the playstyle of this composition is still to slow roll to find a 3-star Tristana in the mid-game. However, if you can’t purchase enough Tristana at levels 6-7, leveling up and switching to Lucian is the most reasonable choice. Additionally, a very important unit to have in the late game is Galio. This unit not only strengthens the whole team with the Knight trait but also allows the carry to deal more damage by activating the 3 Guardian trait.
6 Celestials
The Celestial composition currently has two main playstyles depending on how Teamfight Tactics players start the game. If you get Kha’Zix and a 2-star Gragas early on, you will aim to upgrade these two units to 3-star to become your carry in the mid-game. If not, players will opt for a more traditional playstyle by saving gold, leveling up steadily in the mid-game, and then playing around Karma at the endgame. Both of these playstyles have proven effective in the current meta, with top 4 placement rates above 50%.
The biggest weakness of the Celestial composition is its extreme fragility before reaching the 6-unit threshold. This is when your opponents are gradually completing their compositions, and their carries have items while you are still struggling to find Karma or Garen. To mitigate this weakness, you should choose one of the 3-cost units, Nidalee or Riven, to push up as a carry in the mid-game. Items like Infinity Edge and The Collector are excellent choices for players to craft early on to maintain as much health as possible.
Miss Fortune – Reapers
In a meta where Draven is currently very powerful, acquiring this champion is extremely challenging for players. If you already have units like Hecarim and Thresh but can’t find Draven, switching to Miss Fortune as a carry is an excellent choice at this time. Miss Fortune’s ability to deal area-of-effect magic damage is significant, making her a potentially dangerous carry.
Moreover, the strength of Miss Fortune is that she already has built-in healing reduction from her ability, Make It Rain. Therefore, you can avoid crafting a Quicksilver for tank units and instead opt for better defensive items like Thornmail or Warmog’s Armor. The final advantage of this composition is that players can activate the 4 Reaper trait early and can snowball the game quite easily in the mid-game with a 2-star Miss Fortune.
