Although it has only been released for a few days, the Teamfight Tactics (DTCL) season 8 has begun to be explored by the community. Many playstyles and formations have been invented and widely used. Some strong clans are being appreciated by many players, such as God Armor, Hackers… Recently, another name has appeared in the list of effective squads that players should try: Zed Than Armor – Guard Army.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The biggest strength of this squad is providing great damage and strong defense. Generals like Zed or Leona are the mainstays that are popular in season 8. Meanwhile, the defense from the Guards and Gladiators will help this squad stand firm in combat.
However, this squad possesses the biggest weakness that is the main generals are quite expensive. But in fact, players do not need to upgrade Zed or Leona to 3 stars to maximize the power of these pieces.
How to operate and equip
In the first rounds, players can easily pass with a lineup of names like Fiora, Lee Sin, Yasuo. If you can own Jax, Vi or Riven early, players should use it immediately to increase the health of the squad. Not to mention, generals like Jax or Riven possess good attack ability, which will help players create an advantage early in the game.
Players need to reach level 5, 6 or higher in the mid game to be able to upgrade the quality of the squad. Sett and Zed are two names that need to be in the squad in the mid-game to ensure attack power. In addition, players should rotate the Shop to bring back Sejuani – a very important name in the squad at the end of the game.
Players will be able to consider upgrading to level 9 for a complete squad or keeping level 8 and using gold to upgrade the squad. However, Leona is a must-have champion in this phase. Leona will be the best barrier as well as providing strong attack power by activating the Divine Armor race.
Complete lineup at level 9: Nunu – Zed – Leona – Alistar – Sett – Jax – Riven – Sejuani – Fiora.
Equipment needed: Warmog Blood Armor, Infinity Gauntlet, Justice Glove, Statikk Electric Knife, Sun Armor.
Conclude
Zed Guard Squad – Than Giap is not too difficult to operate but requires the right equipment and the ability to rotate the player’s squad. It will be difficult to own Leona early when this champion is popular. However, if it can be operated effectively, this lineup will help players to effectively rank up at the beginning of season 8.
