Shen
Considered the perfect front-line champion, Shen boasts a strong stat line and the annoying attack speed reduction effect from his ability, Master Yi. Shen’s “tankiness” is further enhanced by his ability to use skills and generate numerous shields. This allows Shen to shoulder the responsibility of tanking for your entire team on his own. Consequently, players will have more positioning options on the battlefield to deploy other key champions into their composition.
Not stopping there, Shen is a champion that does not require specific items, and you can equip him with any item. Typically, players focus on acquiring damage items for their carries, so Shen’s characteristic is a significant advantage. With just a few items, Shen can already tank exceptionally well.
Yone
If Shen plays the role of a tank, Yone will help your team deal extraordinary burst damage. This is because Yone’s skill reduces the armor/magic resistance of all enemies hit by 60%. Therefore, this champion can amplify the damage of all types of carries in Teamfight Tactics to an extremely high level.
Furthermore, if sufficiently invested in items, Yone can become your team’s carry. Yone’s skill deals damage based on the target’s lost health, so this champion can eliminate opponents very quickly. If you intend to promote Yone to carry status, Blue Buff along with 2 defensive items is the best item build for this unit. As long as Yone can freely cast his skills, your team is almost guaranteed to win.
Azir
Once considered a weak champion, Azir is now shining in version 11.1 thanks to his versatility. Teamfight Tactics players are trending towards building the strongest possible mid-game compositions and utilizing individual 5-cost champions late game. Therefore, a champion that provides good crowd control and has a significant impact on the game even at 1-star level, like Azir, is highly favored.
Azir’s Sand Soldiers not only provide tanking abilities but can also counter several strong units like Sett, Shen, Yone, etc. Additionally, Azir’s strong crowd control ability fits well with all team compositions. If you are unsure which champion to use to close out a match or complete your composition, Azir is the best choice.
