Note: I completely forgot that akshan's mana got nerfed meaning that what I said about lining up his ult with freljord with 1 bow doesn't apply anymore! I misremembered and riftwalk itself didn’t get buffed, but the comp is way better this patch as the supporting units(soraka and taric) got buffed
Lux also got a mana buff, so that she has 40 Mana. isnt BB therefore preferable to Shojin, since its better mana gen (2 autos aufter kill > 3 with shojin)? or do the higher Shojin stats make it better?
I think blue is good on lux, although shojin is a better item in general after it got buffed to give rly high stats(you’ll be a lot stronger early game with shojin and it’s better on velkoz). The two are probably somewhat comparable on lux, although shojin is better on most other things which is why I prefer it as it keeps me stronger throughout the game
Man thanks for your work, I discovered you very recently and I'm loving what you're doing it looks like an enormous amount of work to get that as quickly after the patch went live.
I must say thank you, I rarely type to people but this guide and help is really good. I love ranged so swapping between Akshan, Aphelios and gunners are so much fun and easy now. Thanks once again! :D
I've tested the Cho'Gath and Malzahar reroll with a Renekton 3 instead of Orianna 3 (tho nothing is stopping you from getting all 4 of those, we used to run Tristana, Maokai, Poppy and Viego all at 3 stars at some points earlier this set) I'd park at 3 void with Rek'Sai and instead look for 4 bruisers, trying to stall the fight with Renek and Cho being melee carries and Malz being more of a support unit. Late game I'd also look to itemize Rek'Sai if I'm running Ezreal, but if I'm running Lee Sin I normally just push levels to secure top 4. I also had a ridiculous immortal Nasus today with 5 Shurima and just two Juggernaut, the secret sauce was Harmacist + Cybernetic Leech with Titan's and Redemption. He literally couldn't die to a Darius 3 with giantslayer. That got me inspired to do a set 5 Jax type of build on Nasus, let's see if I get somewhere with it.
5 shurima 4 bruiser akshan reroll is heavily underrated. Sej getting massive HP buffs from the teamwide shurima at 5 makes her not only extremely tanky, but also often deal 2nd carry amounts of damage too from her passive. Heavily underrated if u can get shurima emblem with a spat to put it on sej
too many bad units, on paper it’s tanky but lux comps can shred tanks easier, it’s more impt to put in better units that can provide better utility or dmg
@@GoldenMechaTigeright, but the issue is the 2 cost tanks are so far outclassed by the 4 cost that running them past 4-1 is throwing imo. Biggest example is 2 Bastion being SO good that boards will just run Shen Taric and be fine with solo Sej. Bastion sustains an insane amount frontload damage every fight meanwhile if you wanted even half of that survivability you would need to play 4+Bruiser because 2 bruiser is an absolute joke. Juggernauts have a tank trait on units whose ults are centered around damage vs. Survivability (outside of Nasus). If you don't think the imbalance of front line units is an issue then I have to question if we are playing the same game. The idea of playing something like 2* Vi over 1* Taric is going fast 8th, even though as units they are supposed to be comparable in strength.
Yeah, but you can go a less high roll version of the line until you get needed units. And just beat the ones that are contesting, and get at least a top 4. I find a lot of ppl look at a list and only hunt those units.
Need some tips about fast 9 lvl with lvl up, when to lvl up, how to play board etc Usually when i hit 9 lvl i got less than 20 hp so for sure im doing something wrong
Thank you for all the info and your hard work. I'm having a rough time this patch and I'm not sure if it's cause I haven't study the patch that well or cause I climbed from like gold 4 to diamond 2 in one patch and I've reached my cap before refining my game
To anyone trying to climb. I went from d4 to d2 forcing various aphelios/gwen comps. maokai kalista challenger, into late game deadeye is how I've been able to do it. ornn legend. when you have the core units, you just pivot around whatever 4 and 5 costs you hit until the boards complete.
Targon ryze is pretty good, I’d def put frel/Ionia above it for sure and probably noxus/demacia/shurima as well, but it’s def a solid ryze especially in some matchups where you can throw a key frontliner
the akshan ult the same time as fre proc is now with the mana nerf, it so much more easier to do that and akshan will get full of the armor shred. pre nerf akshan even if he only have 1 bow, he still only get like 30% ult while shred. btw if you get spat, make sej shurima. make the comp fit perfect. with 4 deadeye, 2 braw, 3 shurima, 3 fre at 7.
you don't want to do double rageblade aphelios? Had a game with the classic rageblade, ie, gs items and thought that akshan felt stronger when I just had rageblade, ie and both were 2*. My impression is he wants a lot of attack speed. I was on the freljord board just with vi instead of sion.
@@garchompro Yeah that sounds interesting. I've been meaning to try titans more with rageblade units but haven't gotten around to it. I do also generally like more frontline compared to 4 deadeye but haven't played the comp too much yet
You can do taric! I just had swain cuz he’s easier to find as you’ll be rolling for Cho and malz at levels 4 and 5 but feel free to replace swain if you hit taric 2
Am I the only one that noticed he over does that weird intonation sentence thing for example at 0:55 ".. I'll be talking about that TODAY" and 1:26 "... so I prefer to play that INSTEAD"

19:28 why do you not make the taliyah3 to start the combat? Is there a tech that lets you find more of a unit when you haven’t hit the 3star? Because i thought it’s all the same pool anyway

Does having a HOJ on akshan lines up him now ?

@@simsim4910might have to do with the starting mana since lux wants to cast asap
Yeah akshan probably lines up with a bow and a tear, but I wouldn’t worry about it too much

Best TFT creator out there for sure! Very informative and quick updates.
aphelios gwen great comp, earning me a lot of LP and keep up the good work bro, your videos are very substantial
As always, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this guide! Is there any way to enable a "dark mode" on your google doc? It can be quite blinding when playing at night.

for the malz cho comp do you recommend going lee sin for more re rolls to make it faster to hit all 3 star units?
@@johnotanez2746 don't take advice from a plat player, but I think Lee Sin isn't worth it in general. Lately I've been focusing on Vlad.

Needs a spat and level 8 with a level 7 roll tho, bur it works indeed

Seems like very front line is Shen/Taric/Sejuani. I feel like every build is contested AF right now
Same man
Well yeah of course every frontline uses the 4cost tanks

I can't play Invoker anymore EVERYBODY is going After Taric/Shen/Soraka

You don't want ionic still on your frontline with the parting gift sorc?
For the fast 9 bel/ahri what do you recommend for mid game stabilization ?
Considering everything is contested, I hit fast 9 always with 6 void 4 sorc
@@boyceog4317 i'll keep this in mind, usually the only comp thats stable enough mid game for fast 9 is ionia/freljord
Is kass augment needed for the reroll comp kass/soraka?
thanks for your vids
Nope! It’s a lot better with riftwalker but I’ve seen the comp I showed do well without it
Need some tips about fast 9 lvl with lvl up, when to lvl up, how to play board etc
Usually when i hit 9 lvl i got less than 20 hp so for sure im doing something wrong
good sh1t as always, thank you for getting these out there so quickly
will we see a early board comp video coming out?
great video! my honest opinion is that me in tiggle..
isn't the kassadin soraka comp played exclusively with the Riftwalker augment?
Thank you for all the info and your hard work.
I'm having a rough time this patch and I'm not sure if it's cause I haven't study the patch that well or cause I climbed from like gold 4 to diamond 2 in one patch and I've reached my cap before refining my game
It’s very common to climb a bunch then hit a wall, just work on improving your game play and you will eventually get over it and climb again!
hey can i play these comps in soul brawl aswell ?
you are awesome!!
Thank s for this piece of art (y)
Frejlord is too OP
To anyone trying to climb. I went from d4 to d2 forcing various aphelios/gwen comps. maokai kalista challenger, into late game deadeye is how I've been able to do it. ornn legend. when you have the core units, you just pivot around whatever 4 and 5 costs you hit until the boards complete.
So you pivot out of Kalista challenger into aphelios Gwen with maokai? Any more tips? Do you play with freljord or no space? Targon for gwen?
Is targon not a good ryze region? i always felt like it is top 3
Targon ryze is pretty good, I’d def put frel/Ionia above it for sure and probably noxus/demacia/shurima as well, but it’s def a solid ryze especially in some matchups where you can throw a key frontliner
which zauns are best for zeri and urgot?
Zeri-Robo Arm
Urgot-Explosion one (if itemized) or Exoskeleton.
the akshan ult the same time as fre proc is now with the mana nerf, it so much more easier to do that and akshan will get full of the armor shred. pre nerf akshan even if he only have 1 bow, he still only get like 30% ult while shred. btw if you get spat, make sej shurima. make the comp fit perfect. with 4 deadeye, 2 braw, 3 shurima, 3 fre at 7.
Oh yeah I completely forgot that the interaction got changed, will make a comment about that
POV: watched robinsongz vid and become the akchually guy.

I think double rb aphelios is quite good as well! If you have a really frontline heavy comp double rb titans is a really strong build
@@garchompro Yeah that sounds interesting. I've been meaning to try titans more with rageblade units but haven't gotten around to it. I do also generally like more frontline compared to 4 deadeye but haven't played the comp too much yet
My man
You can mention next time a zaun spat ashe with plague, she is decent duo carry
Why dont taric in stead of swain at cho malz reroll
You can do taric! I just had swain cuz he’s easier to find as you’ll be rolling for Cho and malz at levels 4 and 5 but feel free to replace swain if you hit taric 2
@@garchompro thanks , i will spam that comp KEKW
I dont think warwick needs a qss if u have the rfc augment u can go for a other item over qss
need these swain and sett carry augment builds to drop
Swains is pretty sick, the Boss just feels turbo high roll at times. Neither are even comparable to WWs though.
They definitely have to rework Frejlord. It does way too much for how easy it is to fit in.
I actually do not like invoker karma, Idk, I've never really done well with her, but I'm quite bad so oh well
Am I the only one that noticed he over does that weird intonation sentence thing for example at 0:55 ".. I'll be talking about that TODAY" and 1:26 "... so I prefer to play that INSTEAD"

i tried the aphelios gwen and ended up with a gwen 3, its hilarious how uncontested gwen is
Just play Taric, easy win.
Dont try reroll soraka thats complete trash
First finally!

When you hit a 3 star and the round is over , the game thinks you have enough of that champ and doesn't show it in pool anymore .
