Hello to all of you! I've been focusing on posts where I share my personal thoughts rather than game posts for a while, but that doesn't mean I stopped playing games. Set 9 wind continues to blow in TFT and I got caught in this wind. Although I can't play games all the time because I'm working hard, I try to play 1-2 games a day. Let's move on to the game without further ado!

This game takes place in Targon's Summit universe. The speciality of this universe is to gain a normal or small champion replicator at the beginning of each stage. This means that reroll compositions will be played more. Or we might see some interesting 3 star champions.
I'm so used to playing with Twisted Fate in every game, and with the augment it offers, I can adjust my items as I want and play the composition I want, which I think is a very nice option. I don't have to choose any composition at the beginning of the game and I can play flexible.
Rek'Sai is a very strong champion in the early game and when he has good items, even his 1 star state is enough to destroy opponents. Most of my champions are fighters anyway, and when I found Rek'Sai I didn't hesitate to play him. All I have to do is put all the bruisers on my board and then have fun.
After having a great early game thanks to Rek'Sai, the 2nd augment choice was going to decide the course of the game for me. I could either continue to play flexibly or choose a composition. Obviously I wanted to see the limits of Rek'Sai, so I chose the Bruiser heart augment, which allowed me to activate 6 fighter buffs early on. All I need is to find 1 Sejuani. Then Reksai will have a lot of health and will bite the opponents one by one!
I'm so strong that I was able to easily defeat this opponent who has 98 health and has only lost once before. Of course, using the right items played a big role in this. The best items for Reksai are Hand of Justice, Titan's Resolve and Bloodthirster. Thanks to these 3 items, Reksai can regenerate his health and at the same time deal high damage. He is already quite tanky thanks to his 6 bruisers buff.
The last augment choice was also very good for me because all my bruisers would gain attack power in proportion to their health. There is only one thing I missed here, my only carry is Reksai and the AD of other bruisers will not strengthen me. I think I could have found a much better augment that strengthens the whole team here. We will see the results of this decision in the future. For now, I should say that it was a good choice for me to continue my winning streak.
Losing the previous round had a very bad effect on my economy as I was very unlucky. Despite spending all my gold, I couldn't get Reksai 3 stars or any other buffs. Even Kaisa 2 stars, Sejuani 2 stars, Lissandra 2 stars could have helped me win here, but none of them materialised. I barely found 1 Sejuani, but on the bright side, even Reksai 2 stars is strong enough.
Holy Shit! Look at the damage! Reksai 3 stars is a real monster! My opponent Katarina had 3 stars and I had already accepted that the battle was lost, but Reksai killed Katarina with one bite. I didn't know he could do that.
I don't think Reksai is that strong when it comes to the late game. If you get a little lucky and complete this composition early, things might be different. Because your opponents can also be strong enough to beat you when they make all their champions 2 stars. Also, another mistake I made is not thinking about making my champions 3 stars. I should have thought about this in a game where I get a champion replicator at the beginning of each round. If I had a 3 star Kaisa or Yasuo, I could have won this game 100%.
Speaking of composition, this is a really simple composition. You use 6 bruisers + Lissandra + Kaisa. Your carriers are Rek'sai and Kaisa. All your champions are tanky enough, but your main tank should be Sejuani. The more 3-star champions you have, the stronger you will be, but your main goal should always be to make Reksai 3-star. Without him, the others don't matter.
By the time I tried to 3-star Kaisa, it was too late. My opponent had already 3-star Nasus and Reksai stubbornly tried to kill him. I could have won if he could infiltrate the back lines, but strangely he didn't. Even weirder, my opponent with Karma 3-stars defeated my opponent with Nasus 3-stars and won the game. What a game lol!
As I said I think this composition is very strong in early and mid game. It can also be strong in the late game depending on the situation. Maybe I didn't play it right. Who knows? If you know, don't forget to mention it in the comments. Thank you very much for reading. Take care and have a great day!
