Space Jam – Cosmic Pirates
Although it appeared in patch 10.8, the Space Jam composition only shone when the Hyper-roll storm arrived. Not relying on 1-cost champions, this setup has Darius as its main carry, delivering devastating blows that can be executed in succession to swiftly finish rounds.
The frightening aspect of this composition is its ability to partially counter other Hyper-roll setups, especially while they are still rolling for 3-star champions. With power spikes occurring early, right from level 6 and with 2-star champions, dominating players who are stuck at level 5 trying to roll for 3-star 1-cost champions is a given. With ample gold, snowballing the game becomes incredibly easy.
Candyland – Immortal 3-Star Poppy
Kicking off the trend of everyone rolling champions, the Candyland composition is based on the simplest principle of Teamfight Tactics – not losing means winning. Buffing the Vanguard trait at 2 stars to increase armor by 125 makes Poppy and Leona extremely powerful, especially when they reach 3 stars and become nearly unkillable.
The Candyland composition is fairly easy to play and a great introduction for newcomers, as using multiple 3-star units is incredibly satisfying. It’s strong in the early and mid-game but gradually loses power in the late game; however, in a meta where everyone is rolling, the late game arrives much sooner, which happens to be when Candyland is at its strongest.
Hyper-roll Xayah
Xayah has arguably received the most buffs recently, with both her base attack speed and bonus from her ability significantly increased. However, it was only when the Candyland composition, also known as 3-star Poppy, emerged in the current patch that Xayah started to see more use as a direct counter option.
Sharing a power level and gameplay style with Candyland, when opponents focus too much on defense, the Hyper-roll Xayah composition concentrates on the attack strength of the Bladesingers. With specific items to counter tanks such as the Giant Slayer and the Green Bow, Xayah can easily take down Poppy and Leona.
Willy Wonka – Sona HP Pump
Willy Wonka is the name of a fictional character in the novel “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, which is also the name of the largest candy factory in the story that operates continuously and non-stop. The name of the Willy Wonka composition is inspired by this ever-operating factory, centering around Sona with her ability to heal (from her skill) and restore energy (from the Chalice of Blessing) continuously.
While Sona provides energy and health, Twisted Fate is the champion responsible for dealing damage in this composition. With damage buffs at 3 stars, his Card Toss is extremely potent. Unlike other compositions that focus heavily on the mid-game, you can perform well in the late game with the Willy Wonka setup. Since the basic composition already has the Star Guardians, transitioning to play 6 Sorcerers is quite easy.
