When playing TFT, sometimes you feel very confident that you will win the game. You are much stronger than your opponents, but then there comes a moment when you play against someone and see that they have something much more powerful, and you feel disappointed. I experienced something like this in the game and would like to share it with you.

You can watch the gameplay here without commentary:
In this game, at the end of the 4th stage, we will choose a golem. This golem could be a tank, an attacker, or something random.
Golden Ox is a composition I couldn't resist from the start of this set because there's no limit to how strong it can get. Plus, it's so much fun to play because you can keep getting loot. That's why I got the Golden Fleece augment. This augment ensures your gold accumulation reaches 70 and makes Golden Ox champions earn 1 gold after two turns of battle.
A win, a loss, then another win and loss. My least favorite thing. Earning gold from series is important, and it's even more important in the early game. Actually, this could have been a winning streak, but a crazy player had already reached level 6 in the second stage.
I chose Pandora's items. I won't explain why I chose them this time, as I've explained it every time before—if you know, you know.
started building the win streak I couldn't achieve in the early game during the mid-game. My economy was very good, and I upgraded a few of my champions to two stars. Graves becomes a good item carrier if he reaches two stars in the mid-game. I gave Aphelios' items to him.
Glass Cannon is a good augment. Your backline champions start the fight with 90% health but gain a 15% damage increase. It's a good deal.
Since I thought my composition had enough damage, I chose the tank Golem.
Even though my Aphelios is still a one-star champion and I occasionally suffer defeats, I'm in a pretty good position. If I can reach level 9 soon, find Viego, and activate the 6 Golden Ox trait, that would be fantastic. I think everything will fall into place after that.
Of course, as I get stronger, my opponents get stronger too. I finally managed to get Aphelios to 2 stars, but my opponents in the lobby are so strong that I'll need more. My main carries will be Aphelios and Xayah. Annie will be my secondary carry, and my main tank will be Leona. The best items for Aphelios are Guinsoo's Rageblade, Kraken's Fury, and Last Whisper. You can also opt for Hextech Gunblade instead of Last Whisper.
Leveling up from level 9 to level 10 is not easy in this composition, especially if you're in a tough lobby. That's why I spent my gold trying to get my champions to 3 stars. Annie would have been my last choice, but she was the easiest to get to 3 stars.
A 3-star Annie deals a lot of damage and the bear she summons is an excellent tank. My team wipes out the opponents until she is killed.
Do you remember what I said in the first paragraph? I was defeating my opponents so easily that I didn't even look at what they were doing. I was very relaxed, and that was a mistake. I was caught off guard.
My opponent made a 3-star Vex. If I had realized that, I could have stopped her. I had a good economy, but by the time I noticed, it was too late for everything, lol. Still, I managed to defeat her in the first fight.
I don’t know what changed in the second fight, but I can say I didn’t play perfectly. I could have come into this fight much stronger. Another one of my champions could have been three stars, but I can’t roll as fast as I used to.
Second place isn’t a success for this game because I had a three-star Annie. Lessons learned—I need to be faster next time. Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments. See you next time!
