In Teamfight Tactics, the new Set 3 was released a few weeks ago. Two champions are particularly strong if upgraded accordingly. They can wipe out an entire enemy team.
Which champions are so strong? The two champions are Ekko and Gangplank, both of which are among the expensive 5-gold units. When upgraded to level 3, they can single-handedly defeat an entire enemy team.
An example is shown by the user Isgate on Reddit. There he sold all champions except Ekko, who also did not have the perfect items.
Nevertheless, he eliminated his opponent, who had placed 10 champions on the field. Ekko only needed to use his special ability once.
The same works with Gangplank, as Reddit user Matthausss showed. He sold all other champions and let Gangplank face 8 enemies alone. Here too, the ability took out all enemies.
Why does this work? The 5-gold champions in the new Set 3 are all strong. Therefore, there is a general strategy to level up early to level 8 and then look for the expensive champions.
Since the damage to players has also been slightly reduced, there is more time and opportunities to upgrade these 5-gold champions. While in previous sets it was very rare to get such expensive champions to level 3, it is noticeably happening more frequently now.
However, the situation is expected to change with the upcoming update, as Riot Games has now announced. In Patch 10.7, some nerfs will be implemented.
Nerfs, Buffs and finally the new Galaxies
What changes will be made to the champions? The new update is expected to bring nerfs to nearly all 5-gold champions. The following will be weakened:
- Gangplank
- Ekko
- Aurelion Sol
- Lulu
- Miss Fortune
On the other hand, buffs are coming for the two sorcerers Zoe and Vel’Koz, as well as for their origin. This makes one of the combos we recommended at the start of Season 3 even stronger.
What new content does the patch bring? Patch 10.7 is expected to activate the galaxies. These are game boards with special rules. They will appear in 15% of games.
The following boards could appear:
- Neekoverse – Every player starts with two Neeko’s Help items
- Lilac Nebula – The first carousel contains only 4-gold champions
- Medium Legends – Every player starts with 25% more health points.
The many new features are also a reason why we can recommend you Teamfight Tactics as one of 5 special online games for April.
When is Patch 10.7 coming out? The patch is expected to be released on Wednesday, April 1.
At the same time, a new update for League of Legends will be released, bringing the changes to Fiddlesticks and the adjustments to Nasus, the new giant champion.
