The first regional qualifier of the TFT APAC Circuit 2023 has gone smoothly with the participation of many famous players. Currently, 96 players are in a resting phase before continuing to the second qualifier held on July 27. To prepare for the upcoming competition days, practicing is essential to improve skills and find the optimal solutions for achieving the best ranking. In just a few short days, YBY1 – the Vietnamese player who reached top 3 in the world – has quickly discovered many interesting aspects of the current gameplay (meta).
During his testing sessions, he discovered that Zeri is a reliable powerhouse that gamers can definitely trust to use in ranked matches. Just by reaching 2 stars and equipping two items such as: Death Sword, Rageblade, and a random situational item, the damage that she can deal is immense. This choice is particularly suitable when combined with the Freljord composition – a tribe currently favored for its overwhelming strength.
Moreover, by fully utilizing the newly discovered mechanism, Zeri proves to be even more effective against popular formations like Marksman, Exodia, and Noxus. This mechanism originates from leveraging the passive ability of the champion Sejuani – dealing true damage whenever enemies receive the Frozen effect. Combined with the skill that inflicts Frozen from another Freljord champion, Ashe, the Freljord formation featuring Zeri can deal continuous true damage in a short time.
Overall, Em Kiên’s discovery is not overly novel. However, at this moment, with both Freljord powerhouses and Zeri receiving strong buffs, this composition proves to be extremely effective. Hopefully, he will continue to explore even more exciting strategies to make this year’s TFT APAC Circuit season even more interesting.
