The Front Page of TFT

Meta Check (TFTAcademy, updated today)

• No S-tier — flat, open meta. A-tier: Nami Space Groove, LeBlanc Shepherd, Vex 9.5 (w/ Bard), Mecha Sol, N.O.V.A. Kindred
• Rising: Xayah/Jhin Stargazer fast-9, Master Yi Marauders · New: Akali Reroll · Falling: Samira knock-up

Nuggets

• Akali Reroll corroborated on r/CompetitiveTFT: guide from rank-29 NA "Jia Na Da E" (dual 1000 LP on CN + NA), made by Happy Kevin — matches TFTAcademy adding it to A-tier this patch

Set 18 Spotlight — Wasianiverson: "How to Play the Early Game in Set 18: Enchanted Wilds" — first substantive Set 18 gameplay content

• ⚠️ Grounding: PBE isn't out until Jul 28 — this is theorycraft from spell/trait reveals, NOT hands-on play (his own words: "from reading their spell… we'll have to wait and see"). Treat all of it as informed speculation.
• Openers he likes: Ravager (two 1-cost holders: Akali + Camille), Rageblade/Rapid Fire scaling into 4-cost Aphelios, Blossom→Spellweaver (Karma/Ahri), vertical Riftbeast (5 RB overruns shops with Riftbeasts = printed upgrades, big stage-3 spike)
• Skeptical of: early Eldritch sacrifice (a real body beats a small team-HP buff) and early Solar (pure greed line — play it for 3★ Kayle scaling late)
• Macro claim: Set 18 openers should be way more varied — no mandatory econ traits like Set 17's Primordian/Timebreaker; Blossom (upgrades Wisps) is the only econ-ish opener trait

Set 18 status

• Wisps = Set 12 Charms rework bought from shop; carousel RETURNS; first set on Unreal Engine (why PBE slipped 2 weeks). PBE Jul 28 → live Aug 12
• CommunityDragon check: tft18 assets = 0 — nothing datamined yet

From the favorites

• No uploads in the strict 24h window. Recent: Robinsongz "They Made Shen a Timebreaker... It Was a Mistake" (Jul 16 — title-level signal he thinks the 17.7 Shen rework is misdesigned) · Wasianiverson's 17.7 solo-q VOD (Jul 16)

⚠️ Reddit RSS mostly rate-limited tonight — only r/CompetitiveTFT hot came through, so Reddit signal is thin.

Meta Check (17.7)

• TFTAcademy live tier list has no S-tier comp — flat meta. A-tier: In the Groove (Nami), Shepherd Pie (LeBlanc), Akali Reroll, Fast 9 Jhin Stargazer, Vex 9-5 (Bard), Mecha Sol, Nova Kindred, Yi Marauders, Samira Knock-up.
• Stargazer Vex is still the patch-defining flex piece — now being splashed onto N.O.V.A. boards (Vex/Jax/Nunu hits Stargazer 3).

Busted Right Now

• Akali Reroll — Wasianiverson in his 17.7 VOD: "Akali is like the best comp… you can play Stargazer on the Nova board now. That's insane."
• Nami In the Groove — top of A-tier; the premier 4-cost flex line this patch.

Tips & Nuggets

• Baron Slayer is NOT busted — "good if you need a tank item, the damage is not that crazy," and it's anti-synergy with Space Groove (built-in better version) — Wasianiverson
• Board-building fundamentals guide by GouGou (4x Challenger) hit r/CompetitiveTFT: build to fix what your board LACKS (frontline vs damage), not to max trait synergy — applies to augments too.

New Videos from Favorites

• Robinsongz — "This New Bebe Drama Is Hilarious!" → reacts to Bebe872's retirement-manifesto Reddit post (see below)
• Wasianiverson — "Solo Q Then Slaying Spires | 17.7 VOD" → the Akali + Stargazer takes above; second half is Slay the Spire
• Mortdog — react video on why big studios don't make small games; only TFT tie-in is TFT's own origin as a 6-month incubation project. Not meta-relevant.

Community News

• Bebe872 dropped a nuke on Reddit — a deadpan "manifesto" telling NA Challengers they have "no rizz, no skill expression" and to quit TFT until they have real careers, plus personal messages to Emily, Soju ("be frugal") and Setsuko. Robinsongz and half the scene reacted; nobody's sure how serious it is.
• Competitive Ruling #2: Jedusor — $2,000 fine (docked from Tactician's Crown winnings) for an offensive in-game chat comment during game 5 at TC. Robinsongz: "Fair punishment."
• Tactician's Crown drew 179K peak viewers — 2nd-highest TFT peak of 2026. Huanmie took the crown with a 33% win rate across 57 games.

Set 18 "Enchanted Wilds" (PBE Jul 28 → Live Aug 12)

• CDragon check: still 0 tft18 assets on PBE (baseline tft17 = 101). Nothing datamined yet.
• Kayna released Set 18 flashcards (Quizlet) — champions done, traits/items/augments coming after PBE. Shop-card art courtesy of MetaTFT's morbrid due to the Unreal engine change.

(48h edition: covers Jul 15–16)

Patch 17.7 Meta (live Jul 14)

• Small patch, meta mostly stable. Headliners: Shen reworked into a Timebreaker (AS-stacking high-cap carry) and Vex joins Stargazer (spell 140/210→130/195 as offset).
• S-tier signal from aggregators: Stay Groovy, Two Tanky Takeover, Feed the Stars, Astral Meep, N.O.V.A., Capped & Loaded, Mirror Mayhem, Turbo Doomer.
• Rising: Ezreal/Cho'Gath reroll — Ezreal buff + new Shen/Aatrox lets you splash 2 NOVA + 4 Timebreaker.

Busted Right Now

• 5 N.O.V.A. Jax/Akali reroll — Masters LP-printer, not on TFTAcademy yet. Level 6 reroll: Jax 3 solo tank + Akali 3 carry (both 2-cost), hit Kindred (4-cost) for NOVA 5 — Akali's nova upgrade DoTs the whole board. Prowler's Claw Akali is prime. Guide

Tips & Nuggets

• Golden Remover + Salvage Bin: break a Thief's Gloves, remake it — the items reroll.
• Nova tech: the nova counts as an ability cast — Yasuo stun boon on Akali = board-wide stun.

New Videos

• Robinsongz — "They Made Shen a Timebreaker... It Was a Mistake." First 17.7 look: Timestream augment into Timebreaker reroll, board capped with new Shen.

Reddit chatter

• GOAT debate thread: Huanmie #1 (2x Worlds + Paris Open), Dishsoap #2.

Set 18 Corner — Enchanted Wilds

• PBE Jul 28, live Aug 12. No Set 18 assets on PBE data mines yet.
• Reveals so far: Wisps (Charms rework — buy 1/round, combat-only after stage 5), first set on Unreal Engine, the old carousel returns, and jungle monsters as playable units (Elder Dragon, Raptors).

Patch 17.7 — LIVE NOW (shipped July 14)

Riot's notes are stamped 7/14 and creators are already playing it. All four rundown headliners shipped:

• Shen → Timebreaker origin — 5-cost rework into an AS-stacking high-cap carry; Timebreaker (4) nerfed to compensate. Ezreal's drone also buffed (8→7 takedowns) — Riot is clearly pushing this line.
• Vex → Stargazer — joins the roster with an offset nerf (spell 140/210 → 130/195 AP). N.O.V.A. Vex fast-9 was the #1 board in 17.6; Stargazer flavors now open up too.
• Anima 6 → 5 — top breakpoint easier to hit, gold rewards trimmed across tiers as the tax.
• Heart of the Swarm BUFFED — Apex resists 60→75, mana 30/90→30/70, sword damage 50→75. Riot's own words: possibly "too consistent and too strong."

Also: Graves armory upgrades all cost 1g now, Master Yi mana 30/70→20/60, Zed clone HP penalty 45→40%, buffs to Talon/Zoe/Diana/Urgot/MF, Birthday Reunion gutted (3g→1g), and Set 16 is back as the Choncc's Treasure side mode.

Day-one clicks

• Heart of the Swarm — the sleeper is now sanctioned. Robinsongz has called it broken since 17.5 ("it just needs to be Varus") and Riot buffed it anyway. Test-click before your lobbies catch on.
• Shen Timebreaker — the designed winner of the patch; the trait feeds him Attack Speed so itemize damage or survivability. Check MetaTFT/Tactics.tools once day-one stats settle.
• Graves Factory New — 1g armory upgrades is a real buff to an already-strong 5-cost.

Watch out

• Old Ezreal Timebreaker boards pay the Timebreaker (4) nerf tax.
• Vex's cap is slightly lower even with the new trait.
• Birthday Reunion 3g→1g — no longer a free click.

Scene

• K3Soju made the final lobby at Worlds — finals are tomorrow. His words: "I made final lobby in every single tournament this set."
• MILK is retiring — big r/CompetitiveTFT tribute (3x Worlds, 3rd at Set 5 Worlds, Set 6 Regionals champ). One last run at EWC next week.

Nuggets

• Robinsongz Anima tech (Jul 10 video): you can commit Anima as late as 3-1 — sack 4-1, roll down 4-2 with Anima still on board, win 4-3 and still cash out. He got in at 2-6 and still cashed a 400.
• K3Soju on Kappa Juice: "You can legit play anything. It doesn't even matter" — comp-agnostic click (17.6-era video; augment untouched in the 17.7 notes).

Set 18

PBE launch is delayed per STheHero on r/CompetitiveTFT — his early complist doc is already out.

(Sourcing note: Reddit was mostly rate-limited tonight — thin sample. YouTube RSS came back undated, so creator takes above are labeled by their patch era, not assumed fresh.)

️ Patch 17.7 Rundown is out (patch lands July 15)

Official rundown dropped today (Riot Truexy). Post-Tactician's-Crown patch: small, buff-heavy, aimed at content that never got to shine. The big swings:

• Anima 6 → Anima 5 — biggest miss of the set per Riot; now reachable without an emblem (gold rewards trimmed to compensate). Expect it forced week 1.
• Shen becomes a Timebreaker (keeps Bastion) — huge flex piece; slots ~40% AS onto Ezreal/Riven boards. Timebreaker 4 nerfed 15%→12% AS to pay for it.
• Vex becomes a Stargazer — bound to Nunu now, small Vex nerf attached, but 5 Stargazer finally looks like a real endgame (Xayah + Vex + Lulu core).
• Buffs: Ezreal (big — more drones), Talon 3★ +10%, Zoe 3★ pass-through damage, Diana, Urgot transform autos, Zed 2★ HP, Graves armory upgrades now FREE.
• Augments: Heart of the Swarm buffed "quite a bit" — Riot said it may end up "too consistent and too strong." Priority test-click on patch day. Nasus base AS 0.75→0.8 (Bonk! + Rageblade), Birthday Reunion gold nerfed (the 2-1 level-to-5 tempo line), Aatrox Stellar Combo + Poppy augment buffed.

Worlds wrap — Tactician's Crown

• Huanmie (CN) is the Set 17 world champion — took Game 6 under the Checkmate-20 format (Jedusor out-pointed him 38–31 but couldn't convert).
• K3Soju finished 6th in the final lobby (26 pts) after making it through Swiss.

Meta check (17.6, final days)

• TFTAcademy has zero S-tier comps — flattest the meta has been all set, right before the shakeup. A-tier: Samira knock-up, Nami Space Groove, LeBlanc Shepherd, Stargazer fast-9 (Xayah/Jhin), Graves/Vex flex, Mecha Asol (rising), Jinx, N.O.V.A. Kindred, Yi Marauders (rising).

New from creators

• Wasianiverson — "I Explained Every Champion in TFT Set 18: Enchanted Wilds" — Set 18 reveal season is rolling (PBE July 28).
• K3Soju — Worlds final-lobby VOD: "I Made It To The Final Lobby..."

Worlds: Space Gods Tactician's Crown — Finals were this morning • Huanmie (CN) is your Set 17 World Champion — his 2nd Tactician's Crown, joining Dishsoap and Title in the two-time club. (r/CompetitiveTFT results thread + event coverage) • K3Soju made the final 8 (finalists: Huanmie, steelo of bora, A Long, Jedusor, bensac, Tianlong, LiShao, k3soju — Checkmate-20 format). His exact final placement isn't on Liquipedia yet; standings tables still show TBD. Will follow up when they post. • A Long (VN) and Jedusor (FR) topped the Swiss stage at 40 pts apiece.

Set 18 "Enchanted Wilds" — full reveal dropped • New mechanic: Wisps (Charms comeback) — buyable 1/round from the right-most shop slot, 7 categories (combat, econ, XP, items, risky deals...), scale up as the game goes, combat-only after Stage 5. • New traits: Riftbeasts, Elderwood, Blossom (empowers Wisps at 3/5/7), and the Sunbeam/Moonbeam/Eclipse trio (Eclipse executes lowest-HP enemy when sun+moon overlap). Ivern's unique "Greenfather" trait terraforms hexes into biomes; Draven farms loot via objectives. • Dates (updated — both pushed back 2 weeks): PBE July 28, live Aug 12 with patch 18.1. (Official Dev Drop / Mobalytics / esports.gg)

17.7 lands Tuesday — final Space Gods patch • It's the end-of-set "for fun" patch and full notes aren't out yet — will cover the rundown when they drop. • Reddit's grumbling: the fun patch runs ~a month until Set 18, and Vegas Open ladder snapshots (Sept 6 cutoff, Aug 12 launch) give under a month / ~2 patches to climb.

Meta Check (17.6, TFTAcademy) • No S-tier this patch — genuinely balanced end-of-set state. A-tier spread: Samira knock-up, Nami Space Groove, LeBlanc Shepherds, Fast 9 Xayah/Jhin, Graves+Vex legendaries, Jinx reroll, with Mecha Asol rising.

Tips & Nuggets • K3Soju (Worlds VOD): never contest the player holding an econ augment on a 5-streak — "fundamentally incorrect." He dropped his LeBlanc line and pivoted to Nami the moment he scouted Cluttered Mind + streak on the LeBlanc player. • K3Soju: "Uncontested Corki — that's what makes this comp good." Late-set lobbies reward taking the open line over the stat-best comp.

New Videos from Favorites • Wasianiverson — K3Soju Worlds VOD Reviews (Day 1 + Day 2) → game-by-game breakdowns of soju's run on 17.6. • Mortdog — "Walk the Dog — Post Sabbatical. What's been up?" → he's back from sabbatical as of Thursday. • Robinsongz — variety weekend (Odd Mob DJ collab + a party-game video with TFT friends) — no strategy uploads. Heads up: "Meccha Chameleon" in his title is a hide-and-seek game, not a Mecha comp.

Source note: 3 of 4 Reddit RSS feeds rate-limited (429) tonight — Reddit coverage is from r/CompetitiveTFT hot only. No clear augment verdicts in tonight's sources, so no new augment takes captured.

SET 18 REVEALED: "Enchanted Wilds"

• The Dev Drop aired during Worlds Day 2 today. Set 18 = fantastic creatures, primal magic, forest/nature theme.
• Set mechanic: Wisps — forest spirits that appear in your shop as one-time purchases (charm-style, à la Hextech charms). Trade them for resources, XP, gold, or riskier pacts; they scale in power and cost as the game goes on, color-coded by spirit type.
• First trait teased: a jungle-monsters trait where you place an "Alpha" mark on a creature at game start to buff it.
• PBE: Monday July 14. Live: August 12. Dev video

Tactician's Crown — Day 2 (finals lobby is SET)

• K3Soju made the final 8 — climbed from 11th after Day 1 (32 pts, worst placement a 5th) through today's cut. Only AMER rep in the finals.
• Final lobby: A Long, steelo of bora (APAC) · Jedusor, Bensac (EMEA) · Huanmie, TianLong, LiShao (CN) · K3Soju (AMER). A Long + Jedusor carried the lead in.
• Dishsoap eliminated (27th after Day 1). Grand Finals: July 12, 4 AM PDT on twitch.tv/teamfighttactics.

️ Patch 17.7 — Tuesday July 15

• Full notes not out yet. Known: it's a 3-week patch (Riot break week) — the last big balance word of Set 17, so whatever's strong Tuesday stays strong a while.

Busted Right Now

• Anima cashout (ASol/Mecha board) — AlexeTFT posted a Master→Challenger-in-one-day climb (300→780 LP) hard-forcing it: 400-cashout reliably top 4s, uncontested tempo, every component fits the lvl-8 ASol/Mecha board. His rule: "NEVER 6 Mecha." Second full guide on it this week (G_Ree). Robinsongz also dropped "Secret Anima Tech" — the comp is fully solved-meta now.
• Jinx reroll — Robinsongz farming pro lobbies with it ("1v9 Jinx Reroll").

Tips & Nuggets

• Anima forcing: any gold augment/portal raises your odds of hitting the cashout by 2-5; hold Maokai/TK/Kindred on rolldowns in case you cash into Jinx 3 (AlexeTFT, r/CompetitiveTFT)
• K3Soju at Worlds on Blood Offering (post-17.6 buff): "How is Blood Offering even in the game? 16 gold for one belt" — cost him a Blitzcrank 2. Skip it.

New from the creators

• K3Soju — "LOCKED IN AT WORLDS" (3.4 hr Day 1 POV) → full tourney brain: lose-streak augment lines, Anima-vs-Anima lobbies, ends the day 11th at 32 pts

Sources: r/CompetitiveTFT, Liquipedia, official TFT channels.

** The Big One: Mortdog has left Riot**

• His "Walk the Dog — Post Sabbatical" video (recorded July 9) confirms the announcement he posted ~July 7: he's not returning to Riot. Weighing "designer at another company" vs. going indie/content full-time.
• He spent ~50% of the sabbatical building his own small indie game (8-12 hr scope, targeting a Christmas–February release, art/sound hired off Reddit, ~14 testers so far). Not a studio, no Kickstarter, no Metroidvania.
• On AI-balancing TFT: "No, no, stop. That is not what AI is remotely good at" — but sees it for data tooling/shop-distribution algorithms.
• Fitting timing: Robinsongz joked mid-game today, "If I lose, they need to rehire Mortdog."

** Tactician's Crown (Worlds) — Day 1 done**

• 40 players, Swiss format; bottom 8 cut after 6 games. Leaders: A Long (VN) and Jedusor (FR) at 40 pts; steelo of bora (KR) and BruhbruhbruhWHO (CAN) at 37.
• NA check: Darth Nub 8th (34), K3Soju 11th (32), Dishsoap 27th (24) — Dishsoap squeaks into Day 2 (cut line was ranks 33-40). Day 2 tomorrow (7 games, field of 32); Grand Final Sunday runs Checkmate-20.

️ Patch 17.7 — Tuesday July 15

• Official notes not out yet; it's the post-Worlds "Rioters on break" patch, expected light. One rumor via Robinsongz: Heart of the Swarm "getting buffed next patch is what I heard."

** Set 18 Dev Drop expected TOMORROW (Sat) on the Tactician's Crown broadcast**

• Confirmed via official @TFT: Set 18 PBE pushed back two weeks to July 28 (live ~Aug 12 with 18.1).
• Reported/secondary-source so far (treat as unconfirmed until the Drop): carousel returns reworked with low-HP priority, "mysterious forest" theme, Unreal Engine migration beginning with this set.

** Meta Check (17.6, TFTAcademy)**

• Flat meta, zero S-tier comps — A-tier spread: Samira Knock-Up, In the Groove (Nami + Space Groove emblem), Shepherd Pie LeBlanc, Fast-9 Jhin/Xayah Stargazer, Graves Vex, Jinx reroll. Mecha Sol (Aurelion Sol) and Yi Marauders flagged rising.

** Tips & Nuggets**

• Robinsongz "Toby tech" (Anima cash-out): commit to the loss-streak early — Anima in by 2-5/2-6, stay level 5 and roll for Illaoi/Aurora (3-cost Anima tanks) to control the sack — he still cashed 400 Tech. Late window exists too: in by 3-1 → sack 4-1 → roll down 4-2 → win and cash 4-3. [Robinsongz, "Secret Anima Tech," today]
• Heart of the Swarm watch: Robinsongz doubling down — "it's broken, it just needs to be Varus [god] + some copies." Still one one-trick's word vs. a 5-source avoid wall, but with a 17.7 buff rumored, keep an eye on it.
• r/CompetitiveTFT signal: players report 3-cost reroll at L7 out-capping standard L8 four-cost play this patch — consistent with the no-S-tier flat meta.

** Hot Takes on Reddit**

• K3Soju on Worlds qualification (r/CompetitiveTFT): his 2 cup wins pushed extra slots to regionals, and the final regionals lobby had zero stakes on day 3 — "the current system doesn't reward the best performing players."
• Riot updated Tactician's Gauntlet rewards after feedback: Esports Pengu for all entrants, Mythic Medallions for top 8/4/winner, and winners get priority access to a TFT Vegas Open Competitor Pass.

** New Videos from Favorites (last 24h)**

• Robinsongz — "They Thought I Was Throwing the Game… Secret Anima Tech" → the Toby tech above, plus a mecha-flex cash-out endgame (Urgot/Asol 9-trait board).
• Mortdog — "Walk the Dog — Post Sabbatical" → the news up top.
• Dishsoap — "This Was a 1 in a Million Game" (July 9, short) → held 8 Caitlyns on bench off an Anima opener into a Recon Bob read. He's also live at Worlds (advanced to Day 2).
• K3Soju's channel quiet since July 5 — he's busy playing Worlds.

Source notes: Reddit RSS partially rate-limited today (only CompetitiveTFT/hot came through — no vote counts). 17.7 notes and Set 18 Dev Drop will headline tomorrow's digest if they land.

Augment takes captured today: 1 new take (Heart of the Swarm — Robinsongz, 17.6 re-affirm + 17.7 buff rumor)

TFT Daily — July 9, 2026

Big News • Mortdog is back (sort of) — first Walk the Dog since announcing his Riot departure (Jul 7). He's spent 50% of sabbatical building a small solo indie game ($8–12, targeting Christmas–Feb release), explicitly NOT starting a studio. Next step undecided: designer job at another company vs. going indie/content full-time. • Set 18 PBE delayed 2 weeks → July 28. Set 18 Dev Drop coming Saturday during Tactician's Crown. • Tactician's Crown (Set 17 worlds) starts tomorrow — Jul 10–12, 40 players, snake-draft lobbies, 6AM Central on the official TFT Twitch channel.

Meta Check • Final week of 17.6 (3-week patch) — meta still flat, no S-tier outlier. Pro scene heads-down on the Crown.

17.7 Preview (PBE — lands Jul 15, subject to change) • Buffs: Ezreal, Talon, Zoe, Diana, Aurelion Sol, LeBlanc, Master Yi, Nami • Nerfs: Vex; Zed clone durability trimmed (Invader Zed line) • Traits: Replicator 4 + Rogue 4/5 up; Anima 6 loot, Mecha 4, Timebreaker 2 AS down • Augment nerfs: Birthday Reunion, Forward Thinking, Two Tanky

New Videos from Favorites (last 24h) • Mortdog — "Walk the Dog – Post Sabbatical" → life update above, plus an AI take: it makes people already great at their jobs better; long-term harm for the mediocre. • Dishsoap — "This Was a 1 in a Million Game" → short clip: holding bench Caitlyns on an Anima board to hit a double Recombobulator. • Robinsongz: nothing in the last 24h — latest is "Jinx Reroll Is Free LP" (Jul 6), still calling 2-cost Jinx (Anima/Challenger) reroll free LP.

️ Esports Chatter • The Rolldown podcast ranked all 40 Crown competitors: Darth Nub (reigning champ) S-tier, live debate on whether Soju's style holds up vs Vietnam's tempo players, APAC hyped to overperform.

(Reddit new-feeds 429'd today; hot feed OK. No augment takes worth capturing.)

Meta Check

• TFTAcademy's 17.6 board (updated today) has zero S-tier comps — flattest meta of the set. A-tier is a 9-way spread: Samira knock-up, Xayah/Jhin Stargazer fast-9, Nami "In the Groove," LeBlanc Shepherd Pie, Mecha Asol, Jinx, Master Yi Marauders, and Vex/Bard legendary boards. Play what your opener gives you — no forced line right now.
• Patch 17.7 lands in one week (July 15) — 17.6 was a 3-week patch. No official preview posted yet; the PBE datamine direction remains Anima 6 / Mecha / Two Tanky nerfs plus Master Yi and AP-carry buffs. Treat as subject to change until the preview drops.

Hot Takes on Reddit

• Tactician's Gauntlet backlash — new $10-entry event where even top-8 of 32 doesn't break even on prizes (top prize: 2x mythic medals, 2500 crystals, 300 tokens). Thread's stinger: "I'm a bit worried this is the first product we see after Mort's departure." First real monetization flashpoint of the post-Mortdog era.
• Set 17 Worlds Pick'Ems are open — official thread live; lock in picks before the field starts playing.
• Meta-community gripe thread: why can't TFT maintain a proper wiki vs other games — the usual "too many sites for info" sentiment.

From the Streamers

• No uploads in the last 24h from tracked creators. Freshest recent drops:
• Robinsongz (Jul 6) — "Jinx Reroll Is Free LP" — his second Jinx-reroll video in a week; he's clearly on the Jinx (2-cost Anima/Challenger) train for 17.6 ladder.
• Dishsoap (Jul 7) — "I Hit Caitlyn 3 Into DOUBLE Recombob in Tournament" — chaos tournament game: Caitlyn 3 held through an Anima loss-streak opener, double Recombobulator flips it into a Space Groove/Nami+Blitz endgame. Fun VOD, not a blueprint.
• K3Soju (Jul 5) — "Going For a 100 HP Win at Regional Finals" | Broseph (Jul 5) — "How to Actually Stack Cho'Gath" (long-form fundamentals on the Dark Star/Brawler stacker).

️ Big News • Mortdog is officially out at Riot. He announced today that his ~10-year run (7 on TFT as designer/lead) has ended following his sabbatical. He's ~2 months into building his own indie game and weighing what's next. Top story on both subreddits. • Set 18 + the Unreal Engine migration will NOT support macOS — official Riot announcement + FAQ posted. Mac players lose the client with the engine swap.

Meta Check (Patch 17.6, final week — 17.7 lands July 15) • Anima is the defining line of 17.6's last stretch — the front page is wall-to-wall Anima cashout highrolls (3-star 5-costs, 6-Anima boards). Enjoy it while it lasts: 17.7 PBE has Anima 6 nerfs incoming (covered yesterday). • Counterpoint thread: rush-9 5-cost flex (Vex/Graves, Bard/Sona) has lobbies feeling samey — 4+ players per lobby racing to level 9, per a r/CompetitiveTFT complaint thread.

Busted Right Now • Jinx reroll (2-cost, Anima/Challenger) — Robinsongz's newest upload is literally titled "Jinx Reroll Is Free LP." • Cosmic Hex (augment) — Robinsongz's mid-game math: ~35 HP/round (~100–175 HP/stage). "Cosmic Hex Morgana is probably broken" — and he relayed that Cho'Gath works with it too.

Tips & Nuggets • g_ree hit NA Challenger (730 LP) hard-forcing Anima every single game — detailed guide on r/CompetitiveTFT. The blueprint: sell your opener and win stage 1 with one unit (banks 10g + interest), full lose-streak stage 2, level 5 + roll on 2-5 to get 3 Anima in ("the anima gambit"), first augment = econ. His exceptions worth taking over econ: Treasure Hunt, Double Trouble (if uncontested — "instant win con"), Forging Strength ("insta pick"), Tiny Titans.

New Videos from Favorites • Dishsoap — "I Hit Caitlyn 3 Into Double Recombob in Tournament…" (today): chaotic tournament game — Caitlyn 3 (1-cost) plus a double Recombobulator highroll out of a "weirdest spot of all time" opener. • Robinsongz — "Jinx Reroll Is Free LP" (last night): source of the Cosmic Hex take above; Jinx/Primordian reroll board farming scrim-level lobbies.

Hot Takes on Reddit • The Checkmate format debate rolls on post-regionals: "People who support checkmate should try watching PUBG esports" — argument: cumulative-point formats still make players fight for 1st, while in checkmate "after 20 points, placements stop mattering." Lively r/CompetitiveTFT thread.

Augment takes captured today: 4 new takes across Treasure Hunt, Forging Strength, Tiny Titans, Double Trouble (all from g_ree's Anima guide — Tiny Titans now carries a logged Robinsongz-vs-g_ree disagreement on lose-streak value).

Note: Reddit RSS was partially rate-limited today (2 of 4 feeds 429'd); both subs' hot feeds came through.

TFT Daily — July 6, 2026 (Patch 17.6)

Post-Regionals • Kaiweng wins AMER Regional Finals — k3soju 3rd, Dishsoap 6th. Guillosko takes EMEA, steppy APAC. Worlds field is taking shape. • K3Soju's regionals VOD: won a game on "C-tier" Corki Meeple — "I was told you can never play Corki... when the spot's good for a comp, you can play it." (His 15th Corki game of the set, first win.)

Meta Check (17.6 — BunnyMuffins) • S tier: Vex Fast 9 (Graves cap) + Samira Reroll (Two Tanky variant). Fast-9 and select rerolls revived; "Morgana is OP." • A tier: Stargazer Xayah, 6 Mecha Asol, Brawler Yi, Primordian Jinx, Dark Star Liss reroll, Space Groove Riven, Shepherd LeBlanc.

Busted Right Now • Cosmic Hex Morgana — Robinsongz: "probably broken" — ~35 HP/round (~100-175 HP/stage) on a unit already rated OP. Cho'Gath also playable with it. • Jinx Challengers + Primordian reroll — Robinsongz farming pro-lobby LP with it. Two 1-cost Primordian openers = you print units and barely need econ.

17.7 Watch (lands July 15 — PBE datamine, may change) • Nerfs: Anima 6 loses after-combat loot, Mecha 4 45→40%, Two Tanky 400→375 HP, Birthday Reunion 3→1 gold. • Buffs: Master Yi (mana 30/70→20/60 + 15% omnivamp), Nami, Zoe, Diana, LeBlanc, Asol, Rogue 4/5, Replicator 4. Brawler Yi + AP flex look like early 17.7 winners. Tips & Nuggets • Broseph (Cho'Gath coaching): don't solo-frontline Cho — position him mid so he lives longer and casts more. "You don't care about winning, you care about stacking the Cho." Run 4 Brawlers to buy stacking time; a chain-vest item double-stacks the HP gain. ~278 stacks by mid-game = on pace. Bonus: it's a hard comp for others to steal. • Robinsongz: Sword Overflow > Wise Spending on Jinx reroll — Wise Spending stays a trap in 1-2 cost reroll (converts roll gold into XP you don't want); Sword Overflow let him BiS the entire board.

Regional Finals Grand Finals — all three regions wrapped today

• AMER: Kaiweng (Citadel Gaming) is your champion — hit Checkmate 20 in the finals lobby. Full lobby: Dishsoap, Kaiweng, Darth Nub, Dankmemes01, k3soju, k0nda1, Upsetmax, VCLF.
• k3soju finished 3rd, Dishsoap 6th — both still headed to Tactician's Crown (whole AMER finals lobby was already qualified).
• EMEA: Guillosko (ES) took it, over Safo20, HoroX, Hypno, Bensac (all 5 to Tactician's Crown).
• APAC: steppy (SEA) won; Maris & Milo (Virtus.pro) 2nd/3rd; top 7 qualify.
• Sources: Liquipedia + r/CompetitiveTFT results thread. VODs: PlayTFT (official) or FrodanVods co-stream.

Meta Check (patch 17.6 — 17.7 lands July 15)

• 17.6 is a fast-9 patch with a reroll revival. BunnyMuffins S-tier: Vex Fast 9 (Doomer) and Two Tanky Samira Reroll (Space Groove/Sniper).
• Mobalytics also rates Stay Groovy, Turbo Doomer, Transformers, Snipin' & Vibin', Feed the Stars high. Fast 9 needs tempo + econ augments — and usually at least 1 combat augment to actually win out from the lvl 9 board.

New Videos from Favorites

• Broseph — "How to Actually Stack Cho'Gath" (today) → Standard plan: Cho'Gath items + stacking augments, stack him ASAP. Interim board = 4 Dark Star w/ Karma + Illaoi while Cho stacks. Flat-HP items are the payoff on Brawlers.
• Wasianiverson — Regional Finals Day 2 VOD (17.6).
• Robinsongz: nothing new in the last 24h. K3Soju & Dishsoap were busy... playing in the Grand Finals.

Tips & Nuggets

• Broseph on econ: don't over-hold a loss streak — the 40g-vs-30g interest breakpoint next stage matters more than a marginal streak reason.
• Broseph: "If you see the Warmog's augment, you probably win the game" (in a Cho'Gath HP-stacking spot).

Regional Finals (Set 17 "Space Gods")

• AMER Week 2 wrapped July 4: 32 players cut to the final 8. Grand Finals July 5, Checkmate-20 format — winner takes $14k + Tactician's Crown seat. Setsuko (Team Vitality) confirmed in the field.
• Across regions: 7 AMER / 5 EMEA / 7 APAC seats at Tactician's Crown.

Meta Check (patch 17.6 — MetaTFT / BunnyMuffins)

• Both Fast 9 AND reroll got revived this patch — flexible meta. Morgana flagged as "OP" in BunnyMuffins' snapshot.

Busted Right Now

• Vex Fast 9 — Guinsoo's/Giant Slayer/Gunblade on Vex, Graves holds items until 5-2. Needs level 9 by stage 4-5.
• Samira Reroll (Two Tanky) — Samira 3 + Ornn 3 + 7 Space Groove. Sword-hungry. ⚠️ Infinity Edge is bugged on Samira right now — don't slam it on her.
• Stargazer Xayah (A-tier) — 2x Kraken + Red Buff, but very BiS/constellation-dependent (wants Serpent/Boar/Altar rolls).

Falling Off / Traps

• Meeple econ got a targeted 17.6 nerf — the Gnar reroll consistency engine is weaker.
• Mecha Asol: he does NOT auto-attack in Mecha form — mana items are dead weight on him.

Patch 17.7 PBE Preview (lands July 15 — numbers may shift)

• AP carries buffed: Asol, LeBlanc, Nami, Master Yi ability damage all up.
• Mecha (4) nerfed 45%→40% stats; econ augments trimmed (Forward Thinking, Birthday Reunion, Two Tanky −25 HP/copy).

Source status — holiday weekend, thin night: Reddit RSS mostly rate-limited (3 of 4 feeds 429), YouTube fetch returned nothing. Community-thread and streamer-video sections will catch up tomorrow.

Meta Check

• Quiet holiday-weekend day on 17.6 (17.7 lands July 15). No shift signals — Vex Fast 9 / Samira reroll reads from earlier this week still stand.
• Regional Finals Week 2 are LIVE: Day 1 July 3, Day 2 July 4. 32 players per region, top 4 advance to Grand Finals. AMER games 1PM PT on the official TFT Twitch — best live read on what pros trust in 17.6.

Tips & Nuggets

• Tech of the day (r/CompetitiveTFT): Two Tanky opener + Arbiter 3 with the "gain a Leona on 3rd auto" law = a free Leona every round, and Two Tanky procs on all the printed copies — poster hit two 4-star Leonas. "These types of tech are discarded in favour of the TFTAcademy build" — the game isn't fully solved.
• Robinsongz on reduced-XP portals: it's only ~2 XP per level (~4 XP total from 6→8) — don't warp your comp choice around the portal; it's smaller than it looks.
• Robinsongz: with a double 1-cost Primordian opener you barely need econ — "you just print everything." His Rek'Sai 3 tanked at ~6,300 HP.
• Unverified: Robinsongz mused a boon/law he called "Cosmic [garbled]" (~35 HP/round, ~100–175 HP/stage) might be broken, especially with Cho'Gath or Morgana. Exact name unverified — flagging, not asserting.

New Videos from Favorites

• Robinsongz — "Farming Pro Lobbies With 1v9 Jinx Reroll!" (only new upload in the last 24h) → weighs Jinx (2-cost Anima/Challenger) reroll vs Master Yi per portal, ends up printing Primordians into a giant Rek'Sai 3. He's scrimming for regionals.

Reddit

• Design debate: do per-game adaptive traits (Stargazer-style) actually make games feel fresh? OP says no — "wrong Stargazer for my comp 9 of 10 games." (Scores unavailable — 3 of 4 Reddit RSS feeds rate-limited tonight.)

TFT Daily — July 2, 2026 (Set 17, Patch 17.6 — 17.7 lands July 15)

Meta Check • 17.6 has two clear S-tiers per BunnyMuffins/MetaTFT: Vex Fast 9 (Doomer) and Samira 3-cost reroll (Space Groove). Everything else is a wide A-tier — good patch for playing flex.

Busted Right Now • Vex Fast 9 — hit level 9 by stage 4-5, 2-star the 5-cost Doomer and she caps most lobbies. Needs a real frontline tank to buy cast time. • Samira reroll ("Two Tanky") — Samira 3 + Ornn 3 (both 3-costs) with 7 Space Groove is a top-2 machine from a strong Space Groove opener with items.

Comps Worth Knowing (A-tier) • Stargazer Xayah — standard fast 8; very BIS-dependent (Red Buff + Kraken's) and wants the right Stargazer constellation (Serpent/Boar/Altar). Don't force without them. • 6 Mecha — conditional: 3-item Aurelion Sol + Mech online by 4-2; Radiant/Artifact items swing it a lot. • Dark Star Lissandra — 1-cost reroll, emblem-gated; make-or-break on stage 3 tempo to reach 6 Dark Star. • Trap watch: 7 Space Groove vertical without the emblem is overrated — BunnyMuffins says the vertical is "overstated" unless emblem-condition is met.

New Videos from Favorites • Robinsongz — "This Combo Should Not Be Allowed…" (Jul 1) → Arbiter game scribing the Leona-print law (Leona per interest), pivots into Zoe carry + vertical Conduit with Asol; calls Zoe "broken" with the setup. Also flags post-17.6 Best Friends as possibly busted now that it gives Armor AND MR ("you just get a giga tank"). • That's the only genuinely fresh upload — K3Soju/Dishsoap/Setsuko had nothing new in the last day (verified upload dates manually; the --since filter can't).

Reddit • Reddit RSS was mostly rate-limited tonight (3 of 4 feeds 429'd) — thin signal. What came through was ladder-advice chatter plus a "best comp to spam this patch?" thread; the stat-site answer is Vex fast 9 or Samira reroll if you want one comp to grind. • July coaching megathread is up on r/CompetitiveTFT if you want a free game-review pairing.

Augment takes captured today: 1 new take (Best Friends — Robinsongz: possibly busted post-17.6 Armor+MR change)

Meta Check

• Patch 17.6, week 2 of a 3-week cycle (17.7 lands July 15 — extended for Riot's break week). BunnyMuffins calls it one of the healthiest metas in a while: Fast 9 lines dominate but multiple A/B-tier comps compete.

Busted Right Now

• Vex Fast 9 — S-tier on BunnyMuffins; strongest level-9 cap, flexible items
• "Two Tanky" Samira Reroll — 2 Ornn + 2 Samira + 5 Space Groove; ~57% top-4 rate on MetaTFT, the other S-tier
• Morgana (4-cost) — flagged as flat-out overpowered in the 17.6 meta commentary

Solid A-Tier

• 6 Mecha (Asol + Mighty Mech) — needs BiS + pieces, big payoff
• Brawler Yi — best emblem user right now; Edge of Night is priority (aggro drop keeps Yi alive)
• Primordian Jinx, Meeple Veigar, Dark Star Lissandra reroll, Vanguard Fast 9 all playable

New Videos from Favorites

• Robinsongz — "This Combo Should Not Be Allowed…" (July 1) → Arbiter god hex printing free Leonas per interest held; snowballs econ into a fast-9/10 Zoe + Asol Conduit board. His verdict on Zoe: "this unit is broken."

Community

• The Rolldown S17E8 — AMER regionals breakdown w/ Dankmemes & UpsetMax: regionals meta = Fast Nine, Anima, Vanguard vs Vex AP; Brazil up to 6 Tactician's Crown spots; Double relegated from EMEA for the first time ever
• r/CompetitiveTFT discussion on pros overvaluing stats/deltas — argument that low-sample, context-free stat lines add more bias than signal

Meta Check — 17.6 is a light pre-tournament patch (3 wks, 17.7 Jul 15): small buffs, a Gnar/Meeple-7 reroll nerf + big augment sweep. Vex Fast 9 still the S-tier benchmark; Mecha/Asol, MF reroll, Stargazer Xayah & Vanguard flex all live.

Busted Right Now • Aurelion Sol / Mecha — Dishsoap: "new patch Asol is unbelievably broken" (Conduit/Asol buffs). • Miss Fortune reroll (buffed) — MF3 + Lulu, Replicator; Void Staff "legit broken" on casters. (K3Soju/Dishsoap) • Altar Xayah / Stargazer — K3Soju won the Stargazer Cup (2nd Worlds slot) on Altar-constellation Xayah. • Rhaast (Redeemer) — K3Soju: "Ras is so OP," scales AS/armor off active traits. • 6-Vanguard LeBlanc/Zoe — Robinsongz: "this comp needs to be removed." Blitz 2 + LeBlanc 2 = over. • Twisted Fate — Dishsoap: "best 1-cost in TFT history" after the 17.6 buff.

Falling Off — Time Breaker ("trash now" post-nerf), Gnar reroll & Meeple 7 (nerfed), Aurora ("not even good anymore"), Corki/Riven loss-streak ("win rate is a fat zero" but over-contested). (K3Soju/Robinsongz)

Tips • IE is good on Samira again — old bug fixed, stop skipping it. • Nami (SG carry) needs Shojin or "does no damage"; 7 SG barely beats 6. • Morgana = no-item unit, field her only for the Dark Lady durability passive. • Xayah on the same side as her feather recall; Kraken/LW/DB/Guinsoo.

New from Favorites • Robinsongz — "Anima Items Beyond Busted" (upgrades overtuned) + "Got Coached" MF-reroll clinic. • K3Soju — "Most Capped Xayah Board" (L9 Xayah + Jhin/Bard, Morgana+Vex endgame). • Dishsoap — Asol + "TF Best 1-Cost."

Reddit — feeds mostly 429'd, thin. New trait tool (tftraits.com); Qs on Pyke positioning + missed-econ recovery.

Augment takes captured: 4 (Boxing Lessons, Trade Sector, Warpath, Min Max)

Meta Check • Patch 17.6 is the current live patch (3-week patch; 17.7 lands July 15) — a small, balance-focused patch deliberately stable ahead of regional tournaments. Meta is diverse/flex-heavy; ladder players note a shortage of hard-vertical comps. Stat-site S-tier signal: Vex Fast 9, Mecha/Asol, Bonk! Nasus (6 Vanguard), Two-Tanky Samira reroll, Brawler Yi, Primordian Jinx, Dark Stars.

Busted Right Now • Bonk! Nasus (6 Vanguard / Space Groove) — Robinsongz farmed ~2000 Bonk stacks today and was one-shotting boards. Reroll Teemo/Leona/Nasus on Stage 3, level for 6 Vanguard (biggest spike), flex Blitzcrank/Nunu/Sona/Nami. Established top-tier comp on TFTAcademy/Mobalytics. • Charge Transfer (combat augment) — rare combat aug that's actually busted this set. Robinsongz: "Charge Transfer on Nasus is broken." A r/CompetitiveTFT climber calls it "the best combat augment" for TF reroll. Grab it on a frontline carry or reroll board. • Mecha / Aurelion Sol — sitting top of stat-site tier lists; a Radiant/Artifact/Anima item on Asol or the Mech is a big placement swing.

Falling Off • Meeple / Veigar & Gnar — 17.6 nerfed Gnar and Meeple (7) (gold-per-2-cost-clone 5→3). Meeple econ engine is weaker. • Augment sweep — Expedition, Birthday Reunion, and Self-Destruct (Gragas) got "overdue" nerfs; Restart Mission lost its open-fort combo; Critical Success disabled. Loot Singularity (Dark Star) was reworked to pay out components earlier.

Tips & Nuggets • Bonk Nasus: Nasus 3 is luxury, not required — 6 Vanguard is the real spike. Tank items on Nasus early, transfer to Blitzcrank/Ornn late (TFTAcademy/Mobalytics). • Combat augments are mostly skippable this set — Charge Transfer is a genuine exception. Don't auto-pass it if you're on a tanky carry or reroll. • Post-nerf Expedition is "open tier" only now (Robinsongz) — stop forcing it; it's a situational open-spot pick, not an autopick.

New Videos from Favorites • Robinsongz — I Farmed 2000 Bonk Stacks... ONE SHOT EVERYTHING! (today) → Bonk! Nasus 6-Vanguard; Charge Transfer on Nasus is busted; one-shotting boards. Also lukewarm on Expedition post-nerf. • K3Soju & Dishsoap — no new uploads in the window (latest were June 10 / May 30, already covered).

Hot Takes on Reddit (RSS heavily rate-limited — only 4 cached r/CompetitiveTFT posts, no scores/comments; r/TeamfightTactics down) • "It's genuinely so hard to climb right now" — set feels short on vertical comps; players with strong early boards struggle to stabilize on 4-2. • "Is anyone happy to get a combat augment" — community consensus that combat augments are mostly unclickable this set (~5 exceptions), which is exactly why Charge Transfer standing out is notable.

Augment takes captured today: 3 — Charge Transfer (new), Nasus Hero "Bonk!" (new), Expedition 33 (Robinsongz post-17.6 take)

Meta Check — Patch 17.6 (live since Jun 24) • Augment-focused balance pass + Gnar/Meeple nerfs. Riot kept the set deliberately stable ahead of regional tournaments. 3-week patch (17.7 lands Jul 15). • Top of the board: Vex Fast 9 is the strongest cap right now.

Strong Right Now (MetaTFT / BunnyMuffins 17.6) • Vex Fast 9 — S-tier ceiling • Eradicator (Jhin) leads all traits at ~65.8% WR; Bulwark (Shen) & Dark Lady (Morgana) right behind • A-tier flex pool: Mecha, Two Tanky Samira reroll, Brawler Yi, Primordian Jinx, Lissandra reroll, Meeple Veigar, Vanguard/Dark Star Fast 9, Space Groove • Stargazer Xayah climbing after its A-patch buff

Nerfed in 17.6 • Gnar (base AD 50→48) + Meeple-7 econ (clone gold 5→3g) — Veigar/Meeple reroll got tapped • Augments: Expedition (cashout ~20→15g, now exclusive), Self-Destruct/Gragas, Birthday Reunion, Restart Mission (open-fort combo removed); Critical Success disabled

17.6 Augment Pass (goal: make augments less lobby-specific) • Buffs: Best Friends now Armor+MR; Blood Offering now AD+AP (great for AP comps); several Thief's Gloves augs up; Treasure Hunt 16→18g/chest • Loot Singularity cashout reworked — components arrive earlier, should finally be usable in vertical Dark Star

Streamer pulls — degraded today • YouTube tool's null-date bug + cross-ref vs our knowledge base shows the pull is dominated by already-processed uploads (several May-dated; Dishsoap's "broken augment" vid was in yesterday's run). No confidently-fresh <24h streamer content to surface. (Two Robinsongz items were non-TFT: a charity DJ set + a horror game.)

Reddit — mostly down • 3 of 4 RSS feeds 429'd; remaining CompetitiveTFT/hot posts were low-signal help threads (stuck in Gold, getting contested, Deadlier Blades direction). No meta/controversy thread.

Augment takes captured today: 0 new creator takes (streamer pulls were stale dupes). KB maintenance: logged 17.6 patch changes to Expedition, Loot Singularity, Restart Mission.

Bottom line: light on fresh community chatter (Reddit down, YouTube stale), but the real story is patch 17.6 (Jun 24) — augment-focused pass, Gnar/Meeple nerfs, and Vex Fast 9 leading the meta.

Meta Check • Patch 17.6 is live (since Jun 24, runs 3 weeks). Big buffs to Twisted Fate, Aurelion Sol, Miss Fortune + the Anima / N.O.V.A. / Arbiter / Shepherd traits; Gnar reroll got hit (Meeple-7 nerf). Creators are speed-running the new strong spots.

Busted Right Now • Aurelion Sol (Mecha) — Dishsoap: "New patch Asol is unbelievably broken." Snowballs hard post-buff. • Twisted Fate reroll — Dishsoap calls 17.6 TF "the best 1-cost in TFT history." No-scout Stargazer line, pairs with double Jax. • Miss Fortune reroll — buffed in 17.6; Robinsongz "walked over a pro tournament lobby" with it; K3Soju + Dishsoap also grinding it. Corki a strong contested carry too. • Graves — Robinsongz "1v9 nuclear Graves": 6-Brawler Graves carry + double Visage + Group Hug "broke the game." • Anima — Robinsongz: "they made Anima items beyond busted on the new patch."

Falling Off • Gnar reroll — Meeple-7 gold-per-clone nerf (5→3) + Gnar AD trim targets its dominance. • Veigar — nerfed; Prince Veigar 3 still wins for Dishsoap but no longer free. • Teemo — Dishsoap thinks he got over-nerfed.

Tips & Nuggets • Exalted Adventure (prismatic) is Dishsoap's "most broken augment this patch" (buffed ~15%) — BUT you have to commit rolls to 3-star the three 2-costs; don't take it expecting a free cashout. • TF line: don't go Time Breaker unless you're committing forever — Dishsoap runs no-scout Stargazer. • Win-out spot: Cryogenic > Evelynn durability per Robinsongz (double-Warmog highroll = "infinite value").

From Favorites • Robinsongz — MF reroll + Brawler Graves are his 17.6 picks; "Anima items busted" wave. • Dishsoap — Asol broken, TF best 1-cost, Exalted Adventure broken augment, perfect-game run. • K3Soju — learning MF reroll, most-capped Xayah board, grinding the TPC tournament.
