“The Ultimate Secret Technique” from TFT Masters
In recent versions, the “AP Flex” playstyle has emerged as an extremely powerful force in TFT. The reason lies in the fact that magical carries in TFT are proving to be incredibly strong and diverse. Players have too many choices such as Lux, Teemo, Zoe, Syndra… to use depending on the situation of the match. This makes it difficult for opponents to find a complete counter to this playstyle.
The downside of this playstyle is that magical carries must possess energy regeneration items. It is important to note that the Spear of Shojin and Blue Buff both have certain weaknesses, which somewhat limits the power of magical carries. To overcome this, masters at the LPL Super Server have discovered an extremely powerful combo: the Adaptation Hat combined with the Super Technology Intelligence core.
The outstanding feature of this combo is that it regenerates energy automatically and does not require any conditions from the champion who possesses it. This is a significant advantage compared to the Spear of Shojin or Blue Buff. With the Spear of Shojin, the champion must have a good attack speed to utilize the energy regeneration effect on hits. Meanwhile, the Blue Buff requires the champion to participate in takedowns to gain the energy regeneration effect.
Take Zoe as an example, the Adaptation Hat proves to be significantly more effective compared to the Spear of Shojin or Blue Buff. According to statistics from Tactic.tools, Zoe using the Adaptation Hat has an average placement of 3.37. In contrast, the average placement with the Spear of Shojin is 3.55, while the Blue Buff stands at 3.50. In one match of the TOC season 6, Zoe with this combo demonstrated incredible power and helped player 60second secure a victory.
Team Compositions Leveraging the “Secret Technique” Effectively
In general, team compositions with multiple magical carries will maximize the use of the Super Technology Intelligence core. A typical example is the Spirit composition with the duo Zyra and Zoe being champions that effectively utilize the Adaptation Hat and the Super Technology Intelligence core. Even frontline champions like Galio or Riven also benefit significantly from this combo.
Additionally, the composition using the duo Lux – Teemo is an extremely strong choice. This duo already has a powerful capability to attack the opponent’s carries due to their skills reaching the backline. Combined with the significant energy regeneration from the Adaptation Hat – Super Technology Intelligence combo, the opponent’s ranged carries will have little opportunity to deal damage.
The Mage composition with carries like Alune and Lillia is also very strong when equipped with the aforementioned combo. With the ability to eliminate opponents from the Shadow Clan, Alune can quickly “blow away” the enemy formation when using skills continuously. Moreover, the potential for this composition to scale is incredibly impressive with valuable 5-cost champions like Azir and Sett towards the end of the game.
Conclusion
In conclusion, with the Super Technology Intelligence core and the Adaptation Hat combo, magical carries will possess an abundant energy source. Consequently, the damage output of these carries will become incredibly powerful, helping gamers secure victories. Therefore, TFT players should maximize the use of this “secret technique” in the upcoming period to effectively climb the ranks.
