The Rise of the Recycler Composition in Teamfight Tactics Season 13
In recent versions of Teamfight Tactics Season 13, Riot Games has given significant buffs to the Recycler tribe. Specifically, the ability to create shields based on the amount of equipment from this tribe has received a substantial boost, and key Recycler units like Corki and Powder have seen considerable power increases. As a result, the Recycler has emerged as a powerful tribe from the start to the end of the match, boasting both high durability (thick shields) and strong damage output from multiple sources.

Not stopping there, the Recycler is also an extremely flexible composition, which many top players trust to use. This is due to the fact that this composition can utilize all types of equipment, from Attack Damage (AD), Ability Power (AP) to tank items. This allows players to build their compositions comfortably, aiming for victory in the late game regardless of poor starts or receiving unfavorable items from the monster rounds.
Building the Recycler – Artillery Composition in Teamfight Tactics Season 13
In the early game, Trundle and Powder are considered crucial units to activate the 2 Recycler trait early on. Additionally, the inclusion of Steb or Camille also helps players activate important traits like Brawler, Ambush, and Marksman. This composition ensures both frontline durability and excellent damage output in the early game, helping gamers aim for a winning streak.

The main task for gamers in the mid-game will be to build the strongest composition possible while aiming for consistent level-ups. Champions like Gangplank and Ziggs will activate the 4 Recycler trait and help players gain a thick layer of shields in the mid-game to ensure durability. Urgot is also a good addition to activate the Ironclad effect with Gangplank, and can synergize with Corki if players are lucky enough to obtain this unit early.

In the late game, players will aim for level 9 and complete the 6 Recycler trait with units like Corki, Ekko, or Rumble. Additionally, Elise or Sevika will increase the frontline’s tenacity and provide additional crowd control effects for the composition. Players should also consider replacing Urgot with Tristana, as the effect from this unit helps the entire composition deal damage much more effectively.

Some Tips When Building the Composition
Given the characteristic of power scaling with equipment, upgrades such as Buried Treasure and Recycler Master are very suitable for this composition. For Corki, Infinity Edge and Giant Slayer will be the “signature items” to help this unit deal maximum damage. Players should also consider crafting a B.F. Sword or a Giant’s Belt for Corki to maximize the effectiveness of the Recycler effect.
