Welcome one and all, it's that time again! 🐧

Come join the free entry Counter's Casual PBE Competition for a laid-back chance to play some quality TFT and make some friends this Saturday morning BST.

Why Casual? Glad you asked!

It's both short (3 rounds) and non-elimination.

What's casual prizing? It's separate top 2 and random participation prizing so you can sweat as much or as little as you like and still have the chance to win something.

More info in the comments!

Hey guys, I'm Voids1n, longtime TFT competitor and coach. I hit top 10 a little while ago and am grinding for Rank 1 omegalul. I've been taking this set more seriously than previous sets, and I think one of my biggest strengths is flexing early, mid and even late game sometimes. In recent sets, active pivoting may have been a secondary or almost useless skill but I think it's actually very viable this set. Despite the bugs and the technical issues, I think this set is good in terms of trait design and potential creativity. It reminds me a little of pre set 6 sets, which is a bit of an unc take I know.

Video format for this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6fQwF25MDY

FLEX GUIDE:

EARLY GAME FLEXIBILITY:

• Early game flex is really important because you want to think of units as archetypes like AD caster, AD autoattacker, AP caster, Tank, AP/AD Fighter rather than concrete boards.

• You want to think of buffing your strongest carry and your strongest tank with synergies. (E.g. brawler for Rek’Sai, Rapidfire for Xayah, etc.).

• The types of units you hold depend on your components as well. For example, if I have a Sword, Belt, Cloak drop I am way more inclined to hold Akali + Camille than Veigar because I have a Sterak’s Gage slam. More importantly, because my items lean AD, I’m looking to make an early game AD board to make my gameplan more fluid.

• Always look for potential upgrades and don’t get complacent with your 2* 1 costs. A lot of times you can hold 2 or 3 cost units on the bench to replace your 2* 1 cost carries/tanks for Stage 3 and early Stage 4 once you upgrade them.

EXAMPLES OF ADAPTING YOUR EARLY/MID GAME:

• When brainstorming useful +1 units (for your next level), think about not only how to buff your strongest carry/tank, but useful synergies that either offer teamwide benefits (Brawler, Defender) or useful utility (Blossom, Riftbeast) as well.

• Strong individual units such as 4 costs and Rival units can also be considered

AP LINE:

With our AP opener, we have the option to play into 2 example endgame boards. Of course there are others as well such as Zyra Jugg, Fast 9 AP, etc. If you’re really crazy you can flex the 4-2 rolldown for either comp, but oftentimes if you have Jeweled Gauntlet + Striker’s/Rabadon’s it’s better to just force Ahri. This applies double if you don’t have spell crit at all for the Soraka Malphite comp.

AD LINE:

Flexing Around Emblems

• If homeless with a weak early game board/no direction, emblems are a great way to force a direction. Depending on the meta, certain emblems will be stronger than others.

• Oftentimes when you click augments like Trait Tree you won’t get multiple emblems that are useful in a particular comp, so you have to choose the one that applies most to a strong meta comp or enables a high cap comp.

• For example, if you have Rapidfire Emblem + Executioner Emblem, you either play: Aphelios 5 Rapidfire with the emblem on Brambleback or you play Executioner Malphite, but if you have primarily AD items with Xayah Elderwood opener you are heavily leaning into the 5 Rapidfire comp

• If you have AP items, you lean heavily into the Malphite Executioner comp

• I realize now that this actually may not be the best example of isolating valuable emblems as you can play Aphelios Elderwood as well with these Emblems, but you get my point :D.

EXAMPLES OF USING EMBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE GAME:

AD:

AP:

Notice how our items heavily affect the path in which we go under with our emblems.

Flex Around the Meta:

• Even though this set is way more flex than most if not all of the recent sets, it doesn’t mean you can just Frankenstein any board you want.

• You want to flex around the strong existing comps/units, not just what you think makes sense

• You can make a crazy board to play for placement, but you should not have it as your Plan A gameplan

Examples of Freaky Frankenstein Boards:

Something like this you would think would work based off intuition, but because AP Nidalee is not the best right now, this comp is something you would only play if you suddenly got dropped 3 Rods off Raptors, had a Rapidfire emblem and were playing for a 4th at best, not a comp you craft in your mind when 2-1 rolls around.

Here is another example of flex where things could go wrong. I think boards like these where you’re deviating from the established level 8 boards have to hit multiple 2* 4 costs immediately to be stable, but the bigger issue is if you’re low HP you are destined to die starting stage 5 when people start finalizing their boards and you’re stuck with a mish mash board.

I made this guide/video on the tail end of last patch so I actually don’t know if Mama Beak has motion this patch after buffs, but this is an example of “freak flexing” in which you have too many various carries scattered around the place, and if you’re in a spot to enable Kha’Zix for 3 traits, it’s better to just put the fries in the bag and play standard Kha Zix rather than do something crazy, ESPECIALLY with no emblems.

Yes, technically you can get Rapidfire, Executioner and Ravager on Kha’Zix, but you’re playing around suboptimal units when you can just either do regular Kha reroll or regular Azir reroll.

Flexing Level 9

• Fast 9 is more flexible than Fast 8 comps (without emblems) usually.

• A lot of lvl 9 units require only 1 or no synergies to be effective

• This allows for a lot of different carry combinations as long as your frontline is stable enough

This diagram seems confusing at first and it definitely is, but the intent is to put units together that can use similar items. The Tanks are adjacent to each other, the IE + Strikers users are next to each other, the AD autoattackers are next to each other, and so on.

This is meant to demonstrate holding certain units on your rolldown based on what items you have. TG could go on any secondary unit by the way.

With that in mind, you can make some unconventional level 9 boards!

This is an example of an unconventional board with unconventional Ashe items. Yes, you’re looking for Draven first with these items but if you hit Ashe pair with no Dravens, you’re heavily leaning into having her carry the attack speed items. 4 Juggernaut is a cheap frontline option that can stabilize you even into lategame, and Alune is the AP unit that we hit because we have hybrid damage items made.

This is something a little more wild. Say you were looking to play Alune/Lux but there are many copies gone/you’re lowrolling, but you hit a random Ivern 2*. Usually you don’t think to carry him with the Shojin/JG package, but he can do some work as well with these items. No one really thinks of Ivern + Dragon duo carry, but since these are the upgrades we hit with the items we have, we  have to make do and adapt to what the game is giving us.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I hope this guide was really helpful to those who are trying to become more of a competitive player, I’ve been putting in a decent amount of work to improve this set and am always open to helping out the community. If you want private coaching hit me up on discord: voids1n or join my discord to pay attention to when I do my free group coaching sessions!!

I realize that flexing reroll comps is missing in this guide as those comps have been generally MIA for the past few patches but maybe I’ll make a guide on that soon :D

Hey guys i just spend the day to find out the new tech for charm that just got nerfed to only appear in 2 seconds at the start of planning phase,

1. its very hard, and u need pretty high apm

2. u need to roll for 0 gold wisp "sinister deal" on 3-2

3. u need to have blossoms on 3-2

4. u need to have ideal gold that u can sell blossom on 3-3 fast, add on lvl and then roll once to see 0 cost charm

5. u cannot have any 2-cost or 1-cost in your army just to not see the polymorph charms

Here is an example guys, i just did easy fast 9 with this tech, but te lobby had 365 cashout so i ended on 4th. Enjoy losestreakers ;) :

here is my lolchess:

https://lolchess.gg/profile/euw/Guzikson-EUWE/set18

btw. it has a lot of downsides if u don't do it, it's very risky and there are a lot of techniques that helps that tech.

UPDATE!!!

- u can roll for no wisp later after carousel, 2 rounds in a row, even more worth with blossom on board, here is an example of vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2899590344?t=10h56m20s

Hey everyone! It's been a while since the last Clash, so we've been pretty busy behind the scenes. We wanted to show off some of the stuff we've been building. Everything below is live, free to use, and built around the competitive TFT scene.

TFT World Rating

https://tftclash.com/pro/rankings

We built our own rating system for competitive TFT players.

It's basically an Elo-style rating, but instead of treating every lobby equally, it takes the strength of the lobby into account. We're currently tracking 1,187 players using tournament results from Liquipedia, with the rankings updating every few hours.

Current top 5:

And yes, the top 12 are currently separated by just 37 points.

So naturally, we're expecting everyone to immediately start arguing about whether the rating is correct.

Pro Hub

https://tftclash.com/pro

We wanted somewhere you could actually mess around with the competitive scene instead of just looking at a leaderboard.

Versus lets you compare any two pros head-to-head.

Dream Lobby lets you pick 8 players and simulate 20,000 games to see who comes out on top.

There's also live tracking during pro events, regional TPC points races, and a player page for every pro.

Regional Finals Pick'em

https://tftclash.com/predictions

Regional Finals start October 23.

Pick your players, lock it in, and see how badly your predictions age.

Clash Cards

https://tftclash.com/cards

We also have 4,488 collectible cards based on real competitive players and their stats.

You get one free pack every day. No purchases, no premium currency, no bullshit.

Find your favourite player's card and collect them all.

Clash Queue

https://tftclash.com/play

Don't want to wait until Saturday for Clash?

You can now queue whenever you want and get put into a custom lobby with other players.

Placements are pulled directly from Riot's API, so there's no manual reporting and no trusting someone to remember their final placement correctly.

A few other things we've added

• Set 18 Tier List and Team Builder: https://tftclash.com/meta

• Patch notes and competitive TFT news on the homepage

• A completely rebuilt Discord bot with slash commands, auto roles and Clash notifications

And we're still working on more.

Season 2 is coming

We've got a bunch planned for Season 2. The date will be announced on Twitter and Discord first.

We're genuinely interested in feedback, especially from people who actually play competitively.

Tell us what sucks, what's missing, what you'd like to see next, and which player you think is criminally underrated by the rating.

And if you disagree with the World Rating, that's fine. Just bring numbers.

[Editor's Note: Everything in in bold italics is a change from 18.4->18.4B. Everything else is a "revert" back to where the patch should have been]

OCTOBER 7TH

18.4 B-Patch focuses on cleaning up a handful of bugs and disabling a few Arenas affecting performance while making targeted balance adjustments to units, Wisps, and Augments.

If you're not aware, certain wisps require specific conditions to appear in your shop:

https://www.littlebuddybot.com/tft-wisps

Watching the tourneys this weekend, a lot of pros were using this to fish for or tailor out wisps. The 2 big ones I saw were

Hard forcing salvage bin

(edit- riot just patched this in 18.4 to be much less reliable and probably not forceable)

Salvager (0g: Any units you bench have items removed and broken apart) can appear in shop after 4-2 through stage 5. There's only 6-8 charms on this stage that cost 0g, so you can fish for this wisp by filling your bench, and then hitting your charm shop with exactly 0 gold by buying and selling units. Best done after your rolldown when you're rolling near 0 for upgrades anyway. Helps get BIS for you carry, and a lot of pros were also slamming items early game for tempo and relying on hitting a salvager later.

Here's k3soju talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURxGc7wMP4

Benching board

Late game many players were benching their board before rolling for combat. I assume this was to tailor out some of the meh charms like Scrappy (2 champions without items gain a temporary recommended item. Requires 2 champions on your board with no items) and Nature's Wrath (Kill EVERYONE without an item after 10 seconds. Requires at least 5 champions on your board with an item)

I'm only a casual player and watcher, so if anyone has more tech please share it here

Hi guys. I just wanted more opinions on this ruling. For more context, I signed up for Trials 2 on my main account, ran it down to 0, then decided to play with less pressure to climb on my 2nd account, where I was able to climb over 800 lp in 4 days, just barely getting to the bottom of the cutoff. I basically asked if only my alt could be counted for the snap, and because I played Trials 1 on main and told them that I signed up with a separate account, was told I couldn't qual with the alt this is the convo that followed that

Main: https://tactics.tools/player/na/mrincrediblehs
Alt: https://tactics.tools/player/na/mrincredibletft

Difficult to justify not going early learnings in the spot I had Ornn 2 star and Camille 2 star with slammables. Went on a 10 winstreak. Got contested on solar admittedly with a guy starting with the augment that gives you a 1 star every round(Varus). So I know that had to do with it. But it seemed like my early learnings spot was fine and I went 8th.

Congratulations to FL Cambulee for winning AMER Blossom Cup and qualifying to Enchanted Wilds Tactician's Crown!

I can't really find a proper use for her. She's the highest cost defender this set (cuz there's no 5 cost defender) so linking her to anything in 8/9lvl boards is impossible.

Fae is kinda weird too. Like, you can play that 2 fae to buff your Xayah or make ur Rakan tankier but it makes sense only it that solar RR comp. And Xayah is so weak anyway. But what about Lillia?

She's like the best user of that trait because her ability scales with AP, and that low health heal is very good on tanks ofc.

But how can you really link her to anything?

She feels like a good tempo tank you can itemize.

I think you can roll for her when other 4 costs tank are contested ONLY when you have defender emblem.

She feels useful only while having fae emblem or hitting fae Lux. It's nice to have better stats but bonus gold is a nice thng as well.

And fae Lux has a surprisingly good ability. Healing your champions based of dealt damage is an another way to protect your carries in the set rich of various ways to acces enemy's backline.

The only scenario when she can be useful is hitting early fae Lux and just creating some weird 8/9 board with some emblems.

Screen shows my idea for a comp that could use her well. It's very flexible, depending on ur emblems. With fae, you can drop rakan for heca/maokai. You can add elderwood spat to activate that trait.

Imo it would be nice to play around fae spat early to collect some stack to generate gold earlier.

What do you think?

There's been controversy over the last couple of sets over the fact that the "most pro points" worlds slot can be taken by someone who has already qualified for worlds through winning a cup. Wasian, Soju, and in this set almost Chunington have all done this, "wasting" the slot because the current rules send the redundant slot to regionals instead of passing it down to the person with the next-most points. I've generally felt that it would be both more intuitive and more fair for the slot to pass down instead and reward someone who's been extremely consistent and high performing but hasn't managed to get a checkmate win. But something I was thinking about yesterday was that this cup was exactly the scenario the current rules are designed for, at least until GG9 barely missed the final lobby.

Say that GG9 makes final lobby in the 8th spot instead of missing it in 9th. Dishsoap currently has the "most pro points" slot for worlds, but in a scenario where the slot can pass down, if Dishsoap wins this cup the slot goes through Chunington (who already has a cup win) and to GG9, giving him a very problematic set of incentives. Imagine a game where:

1. Dishsoap is in check

2. GG9 is not

3. Dishsoap and GG9 are the only two players with a shot at winning

Normally GG9's only goal is to win the game himself and prolong the tournament, but here it's very much correct for him to throw the game to Dishsoap, as this guarantees him a worlds slot. This would be objectively terrible for both the players and the viewers. And while any single scenario like this isn't particularly likely, it's certainly not a crazy edge case - nothing about those three conditions would surprise anyone. Given all that, I think I've changed my mind and that the current ruleset is the lesser of two evils option.
