These are the top 3 Tribes that Faker extensively uses in his exploration journey of TFT Season 6.
In the final days of the 2021 season, most players were on a break before gearing up for the new season. T1 players, after finalizing their future with the team, started enjoying their well-deserved break. Among them, Faker is undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing figure. After a series of games, he decided to go all out in Teamfight Tactics Season 6.
In just 39 matches, Faker climbed to Platinum 4. This is a quite rapid pace, and he even achieved a win rate of up to 92.3%. While not using a wide variety of Tribes or compositions, Faker is proving his prowess in TFT, not just on Summoner’s Rift. And here are the top 3 Tribes that the 'Demon King' uses the most, with the most effectiveness in TFT Season 6.
Artificer
Artificer can be considered one of the versatile Tribes in TFT Season 6, with the ability to buff the entire team or disable opponents. In addition, champions like Orianna and Janna have wide-area control abilities, causing a significant impact in battles. Moreover, Artificers, when combined with other compositions, are also powerful because they have access to currently popular secondary Tribes: Taric (Celestial), Orianna (Mech-Pilot), Lulu (Yordle), Janna (Reclaimer, Scholar).
Faker utilized Artificer in 9 out of 39 matches, achieving a 44% win rate and a 66% top placement rate. Faker often pairs Artificer with Celestial or engages in a duel with Kai'Sa for primary damage.
Guardian
In general, when it comes to the Tribes Faker selects, the emphasis is largely on defensive capabilities, typically with only 1 - 2 champions dealing primary damage. In some matches, Faker even used only 1 primary damage dealer, reinforcing the defense with carefully chosen high-quality pieces.
Guardian is the second most frequently used Tribe by Faker in his climb through 39 ranks. Possessing a variety of champions with diverse functions such as Darius (dealing damage and healing), the tanky Leona, Galio, and Braum with wide-area control abilities, and Blitzcrank able to attack the opponent's backline... With numerous abilities to provide a solid frontline for the team while disabling or damaging the opponent's composition, it's no wonder Faker favors Guardians.
The 'Demon King' played a total of 11 out of 39 matches with Guardians, achieving a win rate of 36% but an impressive 81% top 4 placement rate. Faker combined Guardians with many compositions, and the most effective, perhaps, is the Guardian - Assassin synergy, ensuring the best damage output.
Divine Taric
Faker's most favored Tribe is Divine, and within this Tribe, the champion he extensively uses is Taric. Making a comeback in TFT Season 6, the Shield of Valoran remains a highly valued asset, not only buffing champions within the Radiant zone (as described by the Divine Tribe) but also providing healing abilities and a certain resilience to avoid being taken down too early.
Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, Taric also belongs to the Artificer category, meaning he can be paired with other compositions like Reclaimer - Artificer or Artificer - Mech-Pilot. Specifically for Faker, he used Divine in 12 out of 39 matches, achieving a win rate of 33% and a top 4 placement rate of 66%. Among these 12 matches, Taric was present in 11 of them.
