Although it was introduced that there would be 5 Galaxies in the game, in patch 10.7, Riot has only released 3 Galaxies so far. According to the shares from Riot Mortdog, the lead designer of Teamfight Tactics, the probability of each Galaxy appearing is 15%, meaning that 45% of current “auto chess” matches are influenced by some Galaxy. Each universe offers players a certain advantage, and players need to make good use of this.
Neeko’s Galaxy: All players start with 2 Neeko’s Help
In Neeko’s Galaxy, you will often see 3-star champions appear, most of which are carry units responsible for carrying the team. Therefore, the most common playstyle in this universe is to play normally until level 7 or 8, then choose a reasonable team composition direction to push Neeko’s Help to 3 stars.
If you choose 4-cost carries like Jhin, Kayle, Jinx, Irelia as your main carries, aim for level 8 and try to upgrade them to 3 stars. With a specific team composition like 6 Dark Star, Pilot – Spy, and needing a 3-star Shaco, roll at level 7 to get this clown at the highest level. Another extremely strong playstyle, which also depends on “luck”, is to get a 5-cost champion and immediately use 2 Neeko’s Help to upgrade them to 2 stars.
Basically, in Neeko’s Galaxy, matches will progress quite normally, but the endgame will come a little earlier as players start acquiring powerful 3-star units.
Purple Nebula: The first shared selection round only has 4-cost champions
It can be said that in this galaxy, you need to choose your playstyle and team composition very early, right from when you have the first 4-cost unit. These units are extremely strong and important for certain team compositions, so you need to maximize their potential. Absolutely do not sell these units early unless they have terrible items or you are too low on gold.
The top 3 units to acquire in this universe are Jhin, Kayle, and Irelia. Jhin needs no introduction; he is currently the strongest carry with massive damage. If you get Caitlyn early, winning streaks with Jhin become extremely easy. Kayle and Irelia are quite similar as they both have very stable damage output, and their first strength thresholds are easily obtainable, allowing you to win early in the game.
Big Beast: The Beast has an additional 25 health and increases in size
Although it’s just an increase in health, the strategic aspect of this universe is extremely significant. With the adjustments in Season 3, you will lose less health early on, but as time goes on, your health will drop more quickly. Therefore, with an additional 25 health, you have more time to “sell health” to earn gold and build a strong team towards the end of the game to turn the tide.
The playstyle is not too affected, but you should not use strong mid-game teams in this universe because if you attack strongly in the mid-game, your opponents will also find it hard to die early. Instead, focus on strong late-game compositions at levels 8/9 like Cybernetic, Vanguard – Marksman, Brawler – Cannoneer, or even Rebel if you are confident in the items for Aurelion Sol.
This universe is a battle of long matches, and those who are more patient will achieve victory. With the current situation of staying home for a long time to avoid the pandemic, players in the Big Beast universe will learn patience, endure hardship, and possibly become less toxic than usual.
