summary

This article is a translation by Scilla and abridged by this website of a 5-cost unit commentary video in Set15 by Aoko Kiramoto.

Focusing on the rear carry, including Yone, Gwen, Twisted Fate (TF), and Seraphine, the video thoroughly explains equipment, artifacts, power snacks (Powersnacks), and operation methods!

This is a must-see to get started with Set15!

Contents

Yone: avant-garde marksman

*Priority of equipment is from left to right

• No recovery items are needed. The ideal set of three items is “Night’s Edge,” “Quicksilver,” and “Kraken’s Wrath.”
• The most important is “Kraken’s Wrath,” which brings out the overwhelming normal attack performance of Yone, who has a high number of normal attacks.
• The artifact is “Sniper Focus” ranked S. Increased range of 2 squares makes Yone a marksman.
• Pawasna is highly rated for “Finalist”, “Rustic”, “Extending Arms”, and “Crimson Veil”.

Gwen: high firepower AOE caster

• Wounding and shredding items such as AoE “Morellonomicon” and “Void Staff” are essential; third, firepower equipment such as “Labadon Death Cap” and “Jewel Gauntlets” are recommended.
• The artifacts are “Manazane” and “Sniper Focus” S rank. The Sniper Focus is particularly powerful because it allows Gwen to attack from a safe position and maximize the range of her skills.
• Pawasuna’s “heavy bleeding” is overwhelming; the 30% damage increase is uniquely powerful

Braum: Skill-based support fighter

• Not a tank, but a skill-intensive fighter. Mana recovery equipment required.
• Blue Buff” and “Even Shroud” are also effective during carry operations.
• The combination of “Protector’s Oath” & “Suspicious Trenchcoat” ranks S for artifacts. Infinity Edge” & “Spectral Cutlass” are also powerful depending on the situation.
• Pawasna is an “efficiency” choice. Compatible with Blue Buffs ◎

Lee Sin: Fighter with both durability and firepower

• Juggernaut is the strongest of the three forms. Duelists use it when Yone cannot be drawn.
• Like Braum, it is extremely versatile and can be used with any equipment, including “Shozin no Koko” and “tank items”.
• The artifact “Dawn of Silvermere” is exceptional. The item effect restores mana when hit by a bullet, making it a true Set14 garen
• Pawasuna’s “On the Edge,” “Fusion Dance,” and “Transcendental Stance” are powerful

Twisted Fate (TF): unfortunate status monster

• Unparalleled performance in terms of status, but synergies do not mesh well, making it suitable for sub-carriers and supporters (basically deprecated as a main carry due to lack of stability).
• Thanks to normal attacks that hit four targets, utility items such as heavy wounds and defense drops can be used effectively.
• Striker Flail” + “Giant Slayer” or “Hextech Gunblade” is the best choice for carry operation.
• For artifacts, “Wit’s End” is recommended, cooperating because it activates the effect on 4 attacks in one attack. Also, Powersuna “Fingertip of Ice” + “Horizon Focus” combination is also powerful
• Basically deprecated as main carry due to lack of stability
• Pawasuna recommends “Cyclone Rush” when operating as a support and “Sky Piercer” when operating as a main carry
• The combination of “Spirit Sword” + “Critical Item (Jewel Gauntlet, etc.)” is powerful because it effectively increases damage by 40%.

Vals: Legendary Tough Guy #1

• The basic equipment for Vals is one mana item and two damage increasing items. The ideal configuration is “Shozin’s Spear,” “Infinity Edge,” and “Striker Flail.”
• Artifacts are “Sniper Focus” and “Manazane.”
• Pawasuna has two choices: “shadow alteration” and “doom barrage”.
• Weak against fighters equipped with recovery + durability equipment and highly dependent on the environment

Seraphine: all for her.

• Built on “Star Guardian (8)” or “Bastion (6)
• The benefit from defensive status for seraphines is exactly the same as the benefit from magic, and Bastion has a higher status benefit, optimal configuration
• Two mana items and one damage item are recommended for equipment (because you want to cast skills during Bastion’s 10-second bonus at the beginning of the battle). Shozin’s Spike, Quicksilver, or Jewel Gauntlets will work just fine.
• The artifact “Sniper Focus” is rated S, and “Infinity Force,” which has all the stats compatible with seraphine, is rated semi-S
• Pawasna recommends “mage”, “shadow alteration”, and “keen eye”.

Zaira: Set14 Viego in Set15

• Can spread offensive and speed buffs to the entire team, but lacks firepower due to status nerf
• Supporter operation is realistic
• Mana-based equipment is a priority; Ark Angel is the best equipment.
• PowerSnapper recommends “Mind Battery” and “Mana Rush”.

(extra) Executionerly Singh: Legendary Breakdancer

• The unit targets the enemy with the lowest physical strength, but most of the time it jumps on the vanguard loaded with items. Furthermore, Executioner Sin has low firepower, so he can’t take down the tank and he can’t target the rear guard!
  So what does he do?
  　 =>He’s justbreak dancing in the middle of the enemy line.
• The ideal equipment is mana, survival, and firepower, specifically Blue Buff (or Shozin), Night Edge, and Striker Flail.
• Since it lacks stability, it is more realistic to use it as an auxiliary part in a reroll configuration rather than in a 95 configuration.
• Artifacts such as Prowler Crow, Spectral Cutlass, and Manazane work well together.
• Power snacks such as “On the Edge,” “Fusion Dance,” and “Transcendental Stance” are recommended.
