Team Composition Tier List 12.19
Patch 12.19 brought a lot of changes, yet the strongest compositions mostly remained the same. Here are the best compositions in the latest patch:
- 6 Ragewing, 3 Guild
- 6 Lagoon, 3 Mage
- 4 Dragon, 3 Monolith
- 7 Mage, 3 Astral
- 6 Guild, 4 Mirage
6 Ragewing, 3 Guild
Key units: Xayah, Shyvana
Key items: Recurve Bow, Needlessly Large Rod, B.F. Sword, and Brawler's Gloves (aim to create Guinsoo's Rageblade, Giant Slayer, and Infinity Edge)
Key augments: Guild Crown, Guild Crest
This composition focuses on building a strong frontline with Xayah as the carry safely sitting in the backline. You want to work towards the key items by putting them onto an early ranged unit that can hold its ground while you level up to get Xayah.
The plan early on should be to picking up the cheap units that will make this composition unstoppable while also working towards the key items. Once you have Xayah, sell the unit with items and put all the carry items on her and watch her demolish the opposing team. The main tactic used is 'Fast 8' for this composition, with the aim to reach level 8 in early stage 4 to pick up the 4 and 5 cost units before your opponents and funnel your items onto them.
6 Lagoon, 3 Mage
Key units: Sylas, Sohm
Key items: Tear of the Goddess, B.F. Sword, Sparring Gloves, Needlessly Large Rod (aim to create Blue Buff, Jeweled Gauntlet, and Infinity Edge)
Key augments: Mage Crown, Mage Crest
This composition focuses on using the powerful economy trait of Lagoon and getting a powerful backline carry in Sohm who will take over the game while also filling up your composition with other strong units such as Bard and Zoe.
During the carousel, try to pick up Tear of the Goddess to build towards a Blue Buff as soon as possible and then use it on an unit who can spam abilities to get loot from the lagoon trait. Once you have Sohm, move the items on him and watch him demolish your opponents. The main tactic used is 'Standard' for this composition, ensuring a healthy balance between levels and scouting for units to upgrade them to a higher tier.
4 Dragon, 3 Monolith
Key units: Terra, Ao Shin
Key items: Negatron Cloak, Needlessly Large Rod, Tear of the Goddess, B.F. Sword (aim to create Ionic Spark, Hextech Gunblade, and Archangel's Staff)
Key augments: Age of Dragons, Guardian Crown
This composition is focused on stacking up Dragons with Terra as the core frontline and Ao Shin as the core damage-dealing threat. The Monolith trait when activated will give an 18 percent damage reduction to 3 hexes, making your already hard-to-kill Dragons even harder to kill.
Your main priority with this composition is picking up required item components and strong early game units to quickly transition into your comp which requires a lot of expensive units. The main tactic used is 'Fast 8' for this composition, with the aim to reach level 8 in early stage 4 to pick up the 4 and 5 cost units before your opponents and funnel your items onto them.
7 Mage, 3 Astral
Key units: Nomsy, Sylas
Key items: Tear of the Goddess, B.F. Sword, Sparring Gloves, Needlessly Large Rod (aim to create Blue Buff, Hextech Gunblade, and Spear of Shojin)
Key augments: Mage Crown, Mage Crest
This composition works out great with Nomsy as the primary carry in the backline. She will devastate your opponent's board with the proper items while the opposing units will be busy dealing with your strong frontline.
Aim to pick up the required item components to build Blue Buff to empower your Nomsy once you pick her up. Until then, use the items on any carry you encounter in your shop or the carousel. The main tactic used is 'Slow roll' for this composition, with the aim of rolling all excess gold to get 3-star units by level 7.
6 Guild, 4 Mirage
Key units: Zippy, Daeja
Key items: Recurve Bow, Needlessly Large Rod, B.F. Sword, and Chain Vest (aim to create Guinsoo's Rageblade, Giant Slayer, and Titan's Resolve)
Key augments: Guild Crown, Guild Crest
This composition focuses on stacking Guild and Mirage units to build a powerful composition with Daeja and Zippy as carries. Both of these units are able to take down the opposing board if upgraded and are stacked with good items.
Aim to pick up the cheap units in Twitch and Leona early on and then build towards your core items. As soon as you level up, try to fish for Nunu and Zippy before you pick up Jayce and Daeja to round up the composition. The main tactic used is 'Standard' for this composition, ensuring a healthy balance between levels and scouting for units to upgrade them to a higher tier.
