Hey, today I'm going to share with you a composition that never left the meta after entering TFT Set 14. It's hard to find a composition that can be played consistently in this game, but the Aphelios Xayah duo has achieved this.

You can watch the gameplay here without commentary:
This game had one of the hacks in the new set. There will be another augment selection at the end of stage four.
Healing Orbs is one of my favorite augments. Especially if you have a strong early game, your winning streak is guaranteed because your opponent usually doesn't have a burn item. Every time you kill an enemy champion, the champion closest to them gains 400 health. This is massive for the early game!
Thanks to this augment, I managed to complete the entire early game with a winning streak. Getting five wins in a row not only keeps your health high but also ensures your economy is better than your opponents'. It's a win-win situation. The only downside is that you can't choose the items you want from the carousel.
If you've watched a few of my games, you know how much I love Pandora's Item Augment. In my opinion, winning this game is all about having good items, and Pandora's Item Augment lets you customize your items however you want.
Unfortunately, my winning streak didn't last that long. In the mid-game, my opponents played very aggressively, and since I couldn't strengthen my composition, I lost. It's not a problem because I have a good economy.
As my final augment, I chose Cybernetic Bulk. In this composition, you can face tanking issues in the front lines, so having the champions I equipped gain an extra 300 health is a good thing.
I said it was the final augment, but as you know, this game has an extra augment selection. I chose Malicious Monetization. I like this augment because if I can get a winning streak, it will earn me a lot of gold. It grants 2 gold for each enemy champion killed over the next 3 turns.
My composition is almost complete. I just need to upgrade Aphelios to 2 stars. The main carry champions of this composition are the two Marksmen you see in the title.
Aphelios' best items are Guinsoo's Rageblade, Last Whisper, and the newly added item Kraken's Fury. Xayah's best items are Infinity Edge, Striker's Flail, and Giant Slayer. The two champions complement each other very well. Our main tank will be Leona. If you can strengthen the side tanks, that would be good. Jarvan will take on this role.
I reached level 9 and completed my composition. The Aurora I placed on the board will solve my tanking problem by pulling a champion from the back. Choose Zac or Kobuko. These are currently the best 5 gold-tier champions in the game.
Rhaast the carrier is normally quite powerful, but since he can't kill Leona, he can't defeat me. Currently, there's not even one opponent who can challenge me, let alone defeat me. While you're this far ahead, all you need to do is prevent your opponents from upgrading their champions to 3 stars, i.e., block them.
I was talking about how strong my full composition is and how no one can beat me, but then I lost two rounds in a row lol. I never expected something like that to happen.
After this point in the game, I got a bit frustrated because the matchmaking system never matched my opponents against each other. If they had been matched, one of them would have died, and I would have at least come in second. Or if I could have found an Aphelios, I could have made a 3-star Aphelios and easily won the game. I gave up.
In the end, third place isn’t too bad. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments. See you in the next post!
