The significant adjustments in the update DTCL 12.18 will make the strength of the squads will change significantly.
Team Thuy Long – Mage
After being outdone in the first version of DTCL season 5, Thuy Long was significantly increased in strength by Riot in 12.18. The first is that the main champion Sohm gets an increase in Damage at all milestones, until Nilah has a lot of bugs fixed and helps to launch attacks more smoothly.
Of course, in order for the Water Dragon Sohm to exert its power most effectively, the combination with the Mage is indispensable. Sylas and Malphite will play a defensive role in this squad, while Sohm deals A wide area of damage, and Nilah is also an indispensable card when dealing Secondary Damage and has a very good finishing ability.
Squad at level 8: Sylas, Malphite, Zyra, Seraphine, Zoe, Nilah, Sohm.
Fantasy Dragon – Knights lineup
Daeja has just been buffed in the ability to deal physical damage, so this champion will now be very easy to combine with the effects of Illusion Dragon. Therefore, the traditional Huyen Long squad will come back strong and it is not difficult to build.
The main damage in the squad will be Daeja while the Knight generals will play a pretty good tank role, especially when the Blue Bow and Armor Piercing Cores have just been nerfed. Nunu will now return to her true role with stamina and healing on the front lines. Meanwhile, Yasuo will be a Damage and control machine at the end of the game if there is more Knight’s Seal, which is not difficult to match in games.
Lineup at level 8: Daeja, Nunu, Yone, Yasuo, Hecarim, Sejuani, Rell.
Shang Long lineup
The value of Vien Thuong Long has improved significantly in 12.18, so the lineup around this Tribe is slowly making a strong comeback. In addition, the fact that Lux is smoothing the move is also a plus point in this version.
The way to build a squad of Thuong Long is extremely simple when taking advantage of the ability to hack money from Vien Thuong Long, thereby slowrolling all champions to gain an early game advantage. With Lux’s Magic Damage and Varus’s good crowd control, this squad can survive well into the late game and make use of the large amount of gold to increase its power.
Squad at level 8: Nidalee, Skarner, Vladimir, Lux, Varus, Sylas, Aurelion Sol.
Graves – Seraphine lineup
The extremely hot lineup in 12.17b does not have much change in 12.18, so the Graves and Seraphine combo will continue to stir with strong interaction, especially when adding Pantheon towards the end of the game.
The fact that the Blue Bow is slightly reduced in power will not affect Graves too much when other satellites like Zeri, Zac even have Damage and Health buffs.
Squad at level 7: Seraphine, Graves, Zeri, Zyra, Rakan, Pantheon, Zac.

Olaf Warrior lineup
Without relying too much on expensive champions, cores or impressions, the squad with the main Olaf is really easy to build for players with the goal of preserving the top 4.
Pantheon will be placed next to Olaf to allow this champion to deal maximum Damage. With the main champion 3 gold, players can flexibly slowroll at level 7 or go straight to level 8 for a full card and then roll Olaf 3 stars. In addition, the secondary factors like Sylas, Zoe, Lillia are also very important in helping the squad achieve a high ranking in the late game.
Squad at level 8: Pantheon, Olaf, Sylas, Zoe, Lillia, Yone, Yasuo, Hecarim.
