Mage-Summoner Ensemble
With both Taliyah and Sona receiving significant damage boosts in their skill sets, players can confidently reintroduce the Mage-Summoner Ensemble with a fresh approach, pairing them with Summoners instead of relying solely on Void synergy. A complete team comp at level 8 will include: Galio, Swain, Taliyah, Twisted Fate, Sona, Vel'Koz, Azir, and Jarvan IV.
Taliyah and Sona will serve as the primary damage dealers in the backline, while Jarvan and Swain will act as frontline tanks. Recommended item combinations for these champions include:
- Taliyah: Blue Buff, Guardian Angel, and Giant Slayer.
- Sona: Shojin's Spear, Guardian Angel, and Rabadon's Deathcap.
- Jarvan: Spear of Shojin, Redemption, and Sunfire Cape.
- Swain: Rabadon's Deathcap, Thornmail, and Warmog's Armor.
Demacia's Kayle Squad
Instead of relying on a 6-Noble setup to protect Kayle as usual, the Demacia's Kayle Squad allows us to deploy all 7 champions from this origin. With additional damage support from Fiora and Quinn, reaching level 9 is no longer a necessity. A complete team comp at level 8 will include: Kayle, Poppy, Galio, Quinn, Sona, Fiora, Shen, and Jarvan IV.
Below are the recommended item builds for the champions:
- Kayle: Giant Slayer, Infinity Edge, and Rapid Firecannon.
- Jarvan IV: Guardian Angel, Redemption, and Sunfire Cape.
- Fiora: Giant Slayer, Bloodthirster, and Sterak's Gage.
Nilah's Bilgewater Formation
Though quite challenging to assemble, this team comp truly stands out as one of the strongest contenders in the current TFT 9.5 meta. Leveraging mostly 4-5 cost champions, Nilah's Bilgewater can be seen as a mid-season Exodia. The perfected lineup to harness the full potential of this comp includes: Ashe, Nautilus, Jarvan IV, Nilah, Sejuani, Aatrox, Gangplank, and Sion.
Below are the recommended item builds for the champions:
- Nilah: Giant Slayer, Bloodthirster, and Giant's Belt.
- Sejuani: Guardian Angel, Redemption, and Sunfire Cape.
- Gangplank: Spear of Shojin, Guardian Angel, and Giant Slayer.
Ionian Canine Alliance Formation
Despite experiencing some power reduction, champions from Ionia once again make it into the top 5 strongest team compositions in this patch when combined with Canine and Ixtal origins. While the Ionian Canine Alliance is challenging to build, it possesses formidable strength when executed correctly.
Eight champions to complete this lineup include: Milio, Soraka, Karma, Neeko, Taric, Shen, Arhi, and K'Sante. The suggested item builds for the primary carries are:
- Neeko: Spear of Shojin, Quicksilver, and Guardian Angel.
- Taric: Guardian Angel, Redemption, and Sunfire Cape.
- Arhi: Blue Buff, Infinity Edge, and Guardian Angel.
Shuriman Strategist Formation
Both Shuriman and Strategist origins received significant buffs in the recent 13.20 update, keeping the Shuriman Strategist formation competitive and securing its spot in the top 5 strongest team compositions. The suggested eight champions for deploying this lineup include: Renekton, Naafiri, Taliyah, Miss Fortune, Jarvan IV, Nasus, Azir, and K'Sante.
With his revamped abilities, the Desert Sage Nasus can now serve as a damage support asset for Azir in the frontline. Below are the suggested item builds for the primary carries:
- Azir: Nashor's Tooth, Guardian Angel, and Giant Slayer.
- Nasus: Sterak's Gage, Bloodthirster, and Infinity Edge.
- Jarvan IV: Redemption, Spear of Shojin, and Sunfire Cape.
