Overview of the Dominant Build in TFT Set 14
The build in TFT Set 14 can be considered quite versatile, featuring champions with strong long-range attacks, physical damage, or powerful spells. However, the general characteristic of the build is its high damage output and vulnerability when caught off-guard for a few seconds. Therefore, the TFT Set 14 build needs to be combined with other traits that can provide good defense to sustain in fights, such as Windrunners and Guardians.
Additionally, due to the build’s extreme versatility, the build also requires many items to enhance its combat prowess. Therefore, the mid-game phase will be crucial if players want to utilize suitable items for their build.
How to Effectively Utilize the Dominant Build
In the early phases, players can activate a 2-Unit build with Mundo and Shaco. However, the core of this build should be Shaco and Senna. Therefore, players can combine both rerolls and leveling up to have a chance to get Senna. Vayne is also a strong long-range damage source, and players should consider her if they have the right items.
Moving into the mid-game phase, at level 6, players can activate a 2-Windrunner, 2-Guardian, and 4-Dominant build. Given the importance of this phase, it’s essential to have items that include Shaco, Senna, and defensive items for Jarvan IV and Alistar. Other synergistic champions might include Vayne and Braum.
Finally, players can activate a 6-Dominant, 2-Windrunner, and 3-Super Thief build with a Zed and Leona combo. However, Zed should only serve as a supplementary unit instead of replacing Shaco’s items.
The complete build at level 8 includes: Leona, Dr. Mundo, Jarvan IV, Shaco, Zed, Senna, Vayne, and Aurora.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The Dominant build is fundamentally strong and can deal substantial damage to enemies in the backline. However, its weakness lies in its vulnerability to crowd control and the need for many items. Therefore, if players do not build a strong frontline and maintain a high damage output, the risk of “getting caught off-guard” is quite high.
