Redemption
Since patch 4 was updated, there has been no champion in Teamfight Tactics that can instantly heal the entire team. We should remember that Vladimir only heals allies within a small radius; distant units do not benefit from this ability. Therefore, the ability to instantly heal 800 health to all allies from Redemption is extremely valuable. It helps your carries withstand fights much better.
Moreover, this is also a very good tool to counter compositions or champions that deal heavy burst damage. You should use Redemption on frontline champions that have strong crowd control abilities; they only need to use their skill once and then can be taken down. You should never equip Redemption on Braum, as this champion is too “tanky” to be taken down early, thus not maximizing this item’s effectiveness.
Silence Cloak
In the current meta, having your carry use their skill early is extremely important. It gives your team a significant advantage in health and can lead to a quick victory in the late game. To prevent dangerous spells from your opponents, Silence Cloak is the simplest and easiest option to use. The components of this item are just the Fighting Gloves and Chain Vest, which are very easy to obtain in the shared draft round.
To use Silence Cloak effectively, you need to equip this item on a champion that can reposition comfortably. Then, closely observe the remaining players to ensure the energy gain effect from this item impacts the opponent’s carries. You may also opt to counter champions like Aatrox or Sejuani if you’re wary of their crowd control abilities. Essentially, Silence Cloak is one of the items you should definitely build in the late game.
Trap Claw
While the first two items can be built into many late-game compositions, Trap Claw depends heavily on which carry your opponent has. This item can hard counter Aurelion Sol or Veigar because these champions will be stunned and lose the effect of casting their spells twice from the Sorcerer trait. Therefore, if your opponent has a strong Sorcerer composition, equipping Trap Claw on your carry is the best option in the late game.
Additionally, Trap Claw is also an item that can counter Assassin compositions by interrupting the opponent’s strong attack rhythm. Of course, in most cases, Quicksilver remains a safer choice since it has an effect right from the mid-game. However, as the game progresses towards the later stages, the ability to disable a skill from Trap Claw proves to be much more useful.
