Hello, my friends! Hive Gaming's TFT tournament is tomorrow and I'm very excited about it. I've already told you that I'll be using secret carries in the tournament, so let me share a test run with you!

You can watch the video without commentary here:

The universe of this game is The Dreaming Pool. I don't think I've ever shared this with you before, where at the beginning of each stage you get a champion that fits your team. This allows everyone to strengthen their own composition. For example, if you play Ioina, you'll have a hard time finding Ahri, but this universe gives you her for free!


Until the first augment pick, I already knew I was going to play a mage composition, so my champions were geared towards that. Stellacorn's Blessing Targon allows your units to gain 45% attack speed after receiving a shield or heal as long as it is active. There are many champions with shield or heal in the mage composition, and Orianna is no exception. Or should I call her Carryanna?


In the early game I managed to make two-star Taric so I didn't take a lot of damage and I managed to win some battles. All I need is more damage. As I complete my items, I will have more damage.


For the second augment pick I hoped to find something better, something that would give my champions mana or increase attack speed would be great. Instead I found an augment that gives them health. Thanks to the Cybernetic Bulk augment, my champions with the item will gain 350 health. So I need to distribute items to as many champions as possible.


I can't say I'm very unlucky. In stage 3 I managed to make Orianna 3 stars and look at the damage! This is incredibly powerful. She gives a lot of shields to her teammates and she does a lot of damage. Orianna is my main carry in this composition and her items are Guinsoo's Rageblade and Spear of Shojin. As a 3rd item, I would like to give the second of one of these items. The important thing is that Orianna uses her ability as much as possible.


For the last augment, I could have chosen the first augment to give my champions attack speed, but I chose Gifts From the Fallen. This augment gives your champions 4% attack power, 4 ability power, 4 armor and 4 magic resistance. You regain these stats when a teammate is slain. I might have made the wrong decision here. It would have been better to give my champions attack speed.


I managed to defeat a strong opponent easily. He was also called a 3 star Cho'Gath carrier, but he was not as successful as me. I always make sure to place Orianna and Lux next to each other in the lineup. Because Lux's ability breaks the magic resistance of the opponents. This will allow Orianna to deal more damage.


I don't know what my opponent used as a carrier, but it was really strong. He also made some of his champions 3 stars. I'm sure she will beat a lot of people in the game, but all he needs is to choose a carrier and give the items XD


Interesting Demacia composition but I beat him too. I've been winning for about 8 rounds in a row and it looks like I will continue to do so. Because my opponents haven't saved their gold or don't have a good composition. All champions I use have shields and they use my first augment very well. That's why my frontline is almost impossible to pass.


It's funny that I got beaten so heavily after I said my frontline is impenetrable haha. We played two rounds in a row and he beat me both times. Taric being very tanky doesn't hinder him because he easily infiltrates the backline and does a lot of damage. I wasn't expecting that.


Even though I was overpowered, this Demacia composition managed to beat me. I was surprised at first but then I realized why he beat me because he managed to activate 9 Demacia traits. She has a lot of radiant items and armor magic resistance. So much so that 3 star Orianna can't deal enough damage. Jarvan is also a very strong crowd control champion. He never lets Orianna get enough attacks. You can only congratulate him if you have such an opponent. In any case, I think 2nd place is a very good result. If they offered me second place every game, I'd probably take it XD

General Thoughts About Composition

You can play this composition in any game, but you have to be careful because it's a very common composition of the sorcerer in general. If several people play together you might not be able to make your champions 3 stars, which sucks. You should at least 3-star Orianna and Taric so you have a good frontline and backline. I already told you the best items for Orianna, the best items for Taric are Gargoyle Stoneplate, Ionic Spark and Redemption. You can also use Sunfire Cape instead of Redemption. This is a choice up to you. You will already see how I play in the video. I will not explain this for this.

Thank you very much for reading, I hope you liked it. Don't forget to join the tournament tomorrow. It's almost 24 hours away. You can see the announcement about the tournament in the pinned posts of the Hive Gaming community. Take care and have a day full of gaming!
