DTCL Season 10: Shake up the Lobby with the Enthusiastic Fanatic Lineup
If you're looking for a counter-meta lineup, give the Enthusiastic Fanatic lineup from S-Games a try!
The Fanatic champions are known as the brave warriors of DTCL Season 10 because every time they get knocked out, they 'hug the bomb' and jump towards the farthest target. Therefore, Fanatic is considered the nemesis of carry lineups in the current meta. In addition, the Fanatic champions also provide quality bonus damage per second for prolonged skirmishes. In the current meta, Fanatic proves to be extremely powerful when paired with the Enthusiastic synergy, as both of these tribal effects are excellent support for carries.
In addition to continuously updating the hottest metas and providing in-depth guides to the players of the game Teamfight Tactics, S-Games is building a Discord community to create a fresh playground and gather true 'red dogs.' If you're a player facing challenges in ranked matches or simply struggling with low morale, don't rush to press the 'D' button; instead, join the S-Games Discord community right away.JOIN THE S-GAMES DISCORD NOW!
Prioritized Items
Due to the increased damage from the Fanatic synergy, you only need to focus on Zed's defensive items. There are several options, but the optimal damage output towards the end of the match is still the trio of Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, and Guardian Angel. If your lineup lacks damage, consider adding a Thief's Gloves to provide a secondary carry. In case of insufficient durability for your lineup, Warmog's Armor for any champion will help you address this situation.
Superstars and Upgrade Cores
The Enthusiastic Fanatic lineup primarily relies on the Fanatic synergy. Therefore, you should choose an inexpensive Fanatic Superstar to trigger many milestones early on. There are 3 optimal choices: Evelynn, Katarina, and Yone. S-Games often chooses Katarina because this champion is very strong in the mid-game.
As for Upgrade Cores, prioritize pure damage options such as Guardian Angel, Poisonous Embrace, Persistence's Jewel, and so on. In case the lobby has many strong opponents, you may consider the Trading Post or Titanic Hydra cores to reroll a budget Fanatic carry.
Enthusiastic Fanatic Lineup
- Early and Mid-Game Lineup: Start with a composition of 2 Fanatic and 2 Duelist units, including Fanatic Superstars Tahm Kench, Olaf, Katarina, and Evelynn. This composition will help you defend health in the early game, so you don't need to spend gold rolling for 2-star champions or leveling up early. When reaching level 6, replace Fanatic Superstar Tahm Kench with Fanatic Superstar Katarina. At the same time, add Urgot to activate the Duelist synergy, calling Hecarim to guard the mid-game.
- Late-Game Lineup: Since Katarina is already dealing damage, focus on leveling up to 8 as early as possible. When reaching level 8, start spending gold to find a 2-star Zed and the final Fanatic piece, Qiyana. If possible, go to level 9 and consider adding Ziggs for additional damage or Illaoi to strengthen the overall toughness of your lineup.
That wraps up the complete guide to the Enthusiastic Fanatic lineup, a top-quality strategy in the current 13.23 meta. Overall, it's a strong lineup that truly shines when reaching level 8 or obtaining a 3-star Katarina early on. Therefore, in the early game, make the most of every champion in the shop to defend your health before completing the lineup. We hope this article has provided you with valuable information, and we look forward to seeing you in the next seasons!
