TFT Comp, Patch 13.14b #1: Akshan Carry

A popular meta composition from last patch is still at the top of the meta. Akshan carry has multiple variants that can be successful depending on your items. However, in some games you may find yourself contested, so be careful when committing to playing it.

Standard Variation

Above is what your board should look like at levels 7 and 8. The most important synergies to maintain are 3 Freljord, 3 Shurima, and 2 Deadeye, so you will always be fielding Sejuani, Lissandra, Ashe, Akshan, and Renekton as your core units.

After that, you will want another Shurima unit, which at level 7 and 8 should be Azir. Until you hit the Azir, any Shurima unit can slot in as the third Shuriman. Renekton can eventually be replaced with Nasus or K’sante, especially if you need to move tank items to Sejuani. Jarvan can be another tank unit, especially if Azir is not able to be itemized in your situation.

Teamfight Tactics

At level 8, adding in another Akshan if you have another two-star Akshan may be your best unit to fit in. If your lobby is rerolling 3-cost carries, this is likely your level 8 while you chase Akshan 3 and Lissandra 3.

4 Deadeye Variation

The 4 Deadeye variation is tough to fit in without emblems or without being level 8. But, if you find yourself in a position with extra AD items, an Aphelios 2, Urgot items/Urgot 2, or contested on Shurima units, it may be in your best interest to play a 4 Deadeye variant. Your strongest board could feature Shurima or drop Shurima altogether for other upgraded units.

Late-Game Cap

Your ultimate late-game cap boards that still feature Akshan depend on what you hit, what the Ryze variation is, and what Heimerdinger upgrades you select. These are just two example ways to cap out your board with Akshan carry. you’re able to cut Freljord if you invest gold into the Shrink upgrade for Heimerdinger and build out a capped board in that way. You may not reach this stage in most of your games, but this is just something to keep in mind if you are able to go 9 and fully cap out.

Itemization

Your main carry is Akshan and your main tank is likely Sejuani in most cases.

TFT Comp #2: Noxus Reroll

Noxus reroll is still a very strong composition in the current meta. When given the opportunity to play Noxus reroll, you should definitely lean in its direction. The composition is rather simple to execute, but does require early and mid-game tempo because of the way reroll compositions and Noxus as a trait functions. Your board at level 7 should look something like the example, and you will reroll for Darius 3 and Katarina 3 simultaneously as your two carries.

Late Game Cap

you may get even stronger and more creative with a Noxus emblem, but without the emblem here are a few examples of some late-game capped boards.

For items, you prioritize Darius items first and then Katarina items second.

TFT Comp #3: Lux Carry

Sorcerers without Emblem

Without sorcerer emblem, you want to be playing for Ahri and Heimerdinger as secondary sources of damage. It is difficult to play vertical sorcerers without the emblem because you have to play a bunch of weak units that get outscaled in order to reach 6 Sorcerer.

Vertical Sorcerers with Emblem

With sorcerer emblem, your game becomes a lot simpler as you can chase the 6 and 8 sorcerer breakpoints for your late-game composition. In the examples, sorcerer emblem is on Sona, but if you’re able to get it onto Shen or Jarvan, it’s very strong. Ideally, Jarvan is stacked with tank items and the sorcerer emblem goes on Shen.

Strategist Azir Duo Carry Variant

This variation is the previously S-tier Lux/Azir duo carry board. With good tempo, this composition is still very strong. However, the composition is expensive and Azir is weaker than he used to be, so if you fall behind aiming for this variant, it is likely you will lose a lot HP in the mid-to-late game.

Your main carry is Lux and your main tank varies depending on the version of sorcerers you play.

With Demacia active, you want your radiant item on your lux, but if you have excess carry items, verify your Jarvan is your stacked tank so he gets the radiant item. If there is a tie in items, the tiebreaker is now the last played unit on the board. you’re able to bench and re-field the unit that you want to receive the radiant item for the following fight.
