In this part of the video, the creator discusses strategies for climbing ranks in Patch 14.8 B of a game. He notes that the Nar and Kaisa compositions received significant nerfs, making four-cost units extremely strong in the current meta.

Flexibility in compositions is also critical; players should incorporate strong four-cost units even if it breaks existing synergies. Additionally, the effectiveness of certain strategies like three Exalted or early Lissandra and the benefits of “giga fat Fortune cash outs” are highlighted, with Lissandra being particularly dominant due to her ability to spike quickly and farm essential items.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for strengthening the board in a game, focusing on the ‘for cost’ meta and various openers depending on item types. They explain that in the AD meta, key openers include Story Weaver, Ink Shadow, and Fortune. Each opener plays into different champions and compositions, with suggestions on item placements. The speaker also talks about options when using Bruiser items, such as playing into Ronar Kindred or vertical Heavenly comps, and notes the importance of hitting two-star forecost units. In the AP meta, strategies include rerolling for Jenna and using openers like Faded and Cogma K to flex into Porcelain or Invoker comps.

In this part of the video, the creator provides an update on their streaming and YouTube activities, encouraging viewers to check out their stream and secondary channel. The focus then shifts to discussing strategies for “playing Flex at level eight” in a specific game. The advice emphasizes the importance of understanding unit combinations rather than just aiming for certain trait breakpoints. Multiple examples of effective combinations are provided, such as “alawi, amumu, and landra” for a Warden-Porcelain-Arcanist combo, and “two invoker and two dryad” that pair well with Kiser. The creator explains that these units can be mixed and matched to create flexible and effective game boards. Several other combinations, including Dragon Lord and Mythic combos, are detailed to illustrate how players should structure their gameplay at late stages.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses optimal level 8 team compositions (comps) in a game, focusing on combinations with strong 4-cost units. They highlight the strength of Ash due to her easy access to critical items and her synergy with recently buffed units like Annie and Nautilus. At level 9, the recommended comp includes 4 Invokers with Azir, providing a strong frontline and boosting damage for Ash. Ideal items for Ash are Ginsu’s Rageblade, Last Whisper, and Gunblade. The presenter emphasizes variations of the comp, stressing that Ash can perform well with different setups, such as swapping out Invokers for other useful unit combinations like Udir and Azir. The goal is to maintain a strong frontline while maximizing Ash’s damage output.

In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on the strategic use of champions and itemization in a game. Key points include the importance of integrating Landre into your composition as she can generate valuable items due to her mana-generating abilities. Specific items recommended for Landre are Adaptive, Shogun, pure AP, and GA. The video also explains flexible strategies involving Ash and Lilia comps, suggesting that you can lean into either Snipers with Ash or make Lilia the primary carry.
The Heavenly board strategy involves using Heavenly units like Kane, Leon, and Morana, each with specific item preferences. Kane is best with GA, healing items, and L Whisper, while Leon should carry tankier items like Titans due to his self-shield ability. The positioning of these units is crucial; placing both on one side allows them to break through the frontline effectively. Flexibility is highlighted as an essential aspect of this comp, allowing substitutions based on available units, like fitting in Landre for additional item generation when possible.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for achieving high placements with specific team compositions in a game. They explain that a top-tier composition involves itemizing Wukong and utilizing units like San, Diana, and Heavenly. The comp typically secures second place but struggles against Ash comps that have more early game items.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of combat augments for this comp, highlighting Darius and Kiana as particularly strong units in the early to mid-game. They advise transitioning items from Darius and Kiana to other units at level eight and mention some beneficial combat augments.
Next, the focus shifts to a Kaisa composition, which remains strong despite a recent nerf. The speaker outlines three effective openers for transitioning into this comp and describes the default level eight board. They discuss different variants of the comp that can be adjusted based on available units and items, such as dual-carrying Kaisa and Sylas with specific item setups. They also mention alternative strategies incorporating Udir, Azir, and additional invokers for stronger setups.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the comparative strengths and strategies of various high-level Teamfight Tactics (TFT) compositions. The “trick shot” board is highlighted for its late-game advantage due to multiple high-cost units, specifically mentioning threats like Azir and Annie, and the synergy with the Dragon Lord combo. The “faded comp” is mentioned next, which remains strong from previous patches, utilizing units like Yasuo, Thresh, and Aphelios. The speaker advises pushing to level 9 for better units rather than focusing on three-star upgrades. Another variation includes using flexible units like Syndra and Ashe for greater synergy. Finally, the “Nar Kindred” comp is examined, which, despite nerfs, offers a reliable top-four finish if uncontested due to its early-game strengths with units like Nar and Kindred.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on building the strongest board possible early in the game to farm Dr. Stacks effectively. At level six, the player should aim to roll for a specific board, targeting two-star units like Gnar, Kindred, Rek’Sai, Illaoi, and Aatrox, with a two-star Aatrox being particularly advantageous. The best items for KRA include Morello, Blue Buff, and a third damage item such as Deathcap or Gunblade. Gnar benefits from two healing items and one damage item, with options like Bloodthirster, Hodge, Sterak’s, or QSS depending on the situation. At level eight, the optimal board flexes around four Dryad and four Ghostly, with tank items on Ornn and potential carry options in Kayn if you have a Dryad +1. The guide also explains how to incorporate Lissandra into the comp by utilizing Illaoi and Azir, ultimately aiming for a strong level eight board for late-game success. The segment concludes with a summary of the flex guide for patch 14.8 B and a call to action for viewers to subscribe and follow the creator’s Twitch and YouTube channels.
