These items below hold an incredibly strong average position in the current meta of Teamfight Tactics.
Silencing Robe
If you pay attention, many core champions or backline support units in Teamfight Tactics Season 6 possess extremely high maximum energy stats. This is a reasonable trade-off because champions like Viktor, Janna, Orianna, etc., have incredibly powerful abilities that can change the course of the game. Therefore, preventing such champions from casting their abilities early is crucial to securing victory, making the Silencing Robe a very strong item in the current meta.
Not only does the Silencing Robe stop opponents from casting their abilities, but when combined with the Thunderbolt, it also helps you deal a significant amount of damage. Essentially, the effect of the Silencing Robe is to increase the maximum energy when the target casts a skill. Meanwhile, the damage from the Thunderbolt depends on this stat. When these two items are combined, the target can be annihilated very quickly. It's recommended to use this combo in a Katarina-centric team composition.
Cup of Strength
There's an intriguing fact about Teamfight Tactics: Riot Games always allows their champions to scale their power based on ability damage stats. Even when a unit is known for physical dominance (like Jhin, Samira...), their abilities still have the potential to scale with this stat. This is understandable because the pressure to build items early in this game is immense, sometimes requiring unconventional item choices to sustain.
This inadvertently leads to an issue where the Cup of Strength suddenly becomes an incredibly powerful item in the late game. Essentially, at this stage, your carry champion already has enough items, and improving their damage output becomes challenging. By using the Cup of Strength and buffing ability damage for your carry, you'll immediately enhance their damage output instead of swapping items on them.
Iron Solari Chain
This is perhaps the most underrated item in Teamfight Tactics currently, as many believe it to be weak. However, the Iron Solari Chain is actually a very strong item if you can maximize its potential. At the beginning of the game, it's an incredibly powerful defensive item on the frontline, providing your tanky units with extra shield and durability.
Moreover, with many compositions only using 1-2 tanky units in the late game and prioritizing backline units, the Iron Solari Chain becomes even more valuable. It helps your carry survive longer, avoiding getting burst down before casting their skills. This is a very strong late-game item, but the advice is not to build it from your existing items, but rather to pick it from shared carousel rounds or swap from the Magic Hammer only.
