Overall Team Strength Assessment
The strength of this lineup comes from the ability to enhance power over time for each Challenge. Any champion on the team can carry if built correctly. However, in this guide, we'll opt for Fiora, a new 4-gold carry with the Thieves' Gloves. With high damage and abundant healing capabilities, Fiora can freely roam from the frontline to the backline, taking down carries along the way.
The resilience of this lineup may be slightly lacking, so you should use tanks that are not overly reliant on tribe synergy, and Jarvan will be the top choice. Warwick is also a very worthwhile consideration if you have too many defensive items.
List of essential champions
This won't be a pure attack lineup with all Darkin cards. We'll combine to create stable strength for the team with secondary tribes including Demacia, Artificer, Vanguard, and especially Darkin. Here's the list of champions in this lineup:
- Top row: Warwick, Naafiri, Fiora, Aatrox, Jarvan IV
- Bottom row: Quinn, Kai'Sa, Azir
Darkin has the ability to increase the strength of adjacent allies when defeated. Therefore, having Naafiri and Aatrox at the front will help your main carry, Fiora, quickly benefit from the Darkin weapons. Quinn and Kai'Sa can both become secondary carries depending on whether you need mixed damage or pure Physical.
Guide to building the Darkin Challenge lineup
Success with the Darkin Challenge lineup in TFT 9.5 heavily relies on how you manage your team throughout each phase. You need to balance between health loss and resource accumulation to prepare for the decisive phase:
- Early game phase: Most Darkin champions are relatively cheap except for the main carry. You can start building your composition in this phase and focus on maintaining health, accumulating resources to level up early, and searching for essential pieces.
- Mid-game phase: At this point, you must search for more expensive champions capable of dealing with the dominating meta where Aphelios, Nilah, and Xayah are extremely powerful. Having Fiora in this phase will help alleviate a lot of pressure.
- Late game phase: Complete your composition with the remaining pieces, upgrade stars, and optimize suitable items for your main carry, secondary carry, and tanks. Fiora will handle everything for you with her physical damage, true damage, and incredible healing abilities.
That's all you need to build the Darkin Challenge lineup in TFT 9.5. Don't forget to follow Mytour for the latest updates on our new guides!
