The changes in DTCL 12.18 have made the return of Ngoc Long extremely impressive, especially when combined with new elements.
In the first version of DTCL season 7.5, Shi Oh Yu and the generals Ngoc Long were almost put in the corner because they were too inferior compared to other squads. Therefore, Riot quickly increased the strength of this squad in 12.18.
At the present time, Shi Oh Yu has increased her resistance as well as Damage significantly, so the lineups revolved around quickly. And one of the unique combinations used by Korean players is Shi Oh Yu + Jayce.
With the ability to deal large area damage and create good effects, Jayce interacts quite well with Shi Oh Yu as well as taking advantage of the ability of the Jade Statues. Therefore, this duo is really strong in the mid and late game, helping players easily gain an advantage over many other lineups.
How to build
Start with the familiar Jade Dragon frame, in which Gnar and Jax are important champions from beginning to end. Try to hit Gladiator, Transfiguration to keep health in the early stages before Jayce or Shi Oh Yu. Nidalee or Wukong are champions that keep their equipment quite well, in some cases it is possible to reroll to 3 stars these champions.
With a main squad of 4 gold, try to level up as soon as possible to take advantage. Depending on the match situation, the player will start rolling at level 7 (around 3-5 to 4-2) to gradually stabilize the squad frame. In any case, the main frame is always Shi Oh Yu, Jax, Gnar (5 Jade Dragon) and Jayce, along with Warrior and Transformation generals that can be flexibly combined to complete the Tribe.
