Zeri – Enforcer Composition in TFT Season 13
Right from version 13.5, Zeri – Enforcer was already an extremely powerful composition in TFT Season 13. Zeri’s strength lies in her ability to deal AoE damage to multiple targets and easily take down the enemy backline. When combined with a resilient frontline (Enforcer champions), Zeri has plenty of space to deal damage and eliminate opponents. In fact, this composition is even easier to play as players can upgrade both Vladimir and Vander to 3-star during rerolls since they both cost 2 gold, just like Zeri.
However, in the newly released patch 13.6b, the basic damage increase effect of the Sharpshooter system has been significantly nerfed, making Zeri not as strong as before. Furthermore, the Enforcer system has also been heavily nerfed in terms of tankiness with 4 champions, making it suddenly very “fragile” in the mid-game. Combined with Vander’s direct nerf to his basic defensive stats, the Zeri – Enforcer composition has become much weaker and struggles to maintain a safe health pool during rerolls. It wouldn’t be surprising if this composition “disappears” from the meta of TFT Season 13 soon due to its greatly diminished power.
Ironclad Brawler Reroll Composition in TFT Season 13
At the beginning of patch 13.6, Draven received a significant buff to his attack speed, allowing him to become a very strong carry. This somewhat brings back the Ironclad Brawler reroll composition, as players can harness tremendous damage output from both Violet and Draven. This playstyle proves extremely powerful in the early and mid-game, creating immense pressure on health for players looking to preserve their health and level up.
Perhaps after about a week of implementation, Riot Games felt that this composition was too strong, so they nerfed Draven’s attack speed. It’s worth noting that Violet had already been weakened before, and this composition only returned when Draven suddenly became too strong. Therefore, when this formidable Axeman is nerfed, the early game strength of the Ironclad Brawler composition also decreases significantly. Players should only consider this composition if they can acquire a lot of Draven and Violet early on and quickly upgrade these units to 3 stars.
Conqueror Composition in TFT Season 13
Not only the Ironclad Brawler, but the heavy nerf to Draven also greatly impacts the Conqueror composition in TFT Season 13. Essentially, the Conqueror composition needs to participate in as many eliminations as possible to accumulate stacks for rewards and defeat opponents with superior resources. However, Draven’s significant nerf will reduce the early game damage output of the Conqueror composition, slowing down the pace of stacking and potentially leading players into a losing streak.
It’s important to note that before acquiring Ambessa (a 4-cost champion), Draven was virtually the sole physical damage dealer for the Conqueror composition. Therefore, players can easily find themselves lacking in damage when playing this composition, leading to significant health loss in the mid-game. Hopefully, Riot Games will soon find a solution to make Conqueror stronger and more viable in the future. Otherwise, this composition could easily “sink” in the current meta as its early and mid-game power has been heavily nerfed.
