Malzahar is a wizard left in the middle of nothingness. He was actually a good person once, but he was cursed, and now he uses his curse to kill his enemies. He has no other choice—he will either poison them or die.
You can watch the gameplay video here:
In this game, the augment choices will be made earlier, I think it was the same in the previous TFT game. This allows the course of the game to be determined earlier. Sometimes you know you'll be 8th right from the start of the game XD
I chose Survivor as my first augment. This augment allows you to earn 92 gold when your 3 opponents in the game are eliminated. It's an augment you can't use at all at first, but if you have a good early game and a strong composition, 92 gold is a lot! According to many websites, choosing this augment isn't logical, but I like it. The return is much higher than the risk.
The second augment was chosen right after the first, and I chose Crown's Will. This augment grants your champions 10 ability power and 8 armor, and gives you a Needlessly Large Rod.
My goal was to win the first 5 fights. I just told you why—three people needed to be eliminated for me to get 92 gold. I succeeded, and this also benefited me economically. 4 Wraiths are very powerful in the early game.
We chose the final augment in the middle of the third phase. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't choose Piercing Sight, but my main carry is Malzahar, and Malzahar is a champion that deals constant damage. This augment also causes enemies to take an additional 1% true damage, which can increase up to 20%.
Surprisingly, I managed to get through the mid-game with a winning streak. This was crucial because after the 6th win streak, you start earning +3 gold, and you also get 1 gold for every fight you win.
Interestingly, despite spending a lot of gold, I couldn't get Malzahar to 3 stars, not even close. Moreover, I had a small champion duplicator, so finding 8 Malzahars should have been enough. This ended my winning streak, but at least I managed to achieve a 13-win streak.
At the start of Stage 5, I managed to get a 3-star Malzahar, but I was extremely unlucky, and my economy got really bad. I was almost out of gold. Three people needed to be eliminated ASAP XD
I wish I had wished for something else lol. At that stage, three people were eliminated, and I got 92 gold. It's raining gold!
The best items for Malzahar are Jeweled Gauntlet, Adaptive Helm, and Void Staff. He's actually a very strong champion as a secondary carry, but he can also be a solo carry. Especially with the buff to his Wraith ability, this composition has become more popular.
Whoops, my opponent is trying to build a 3-star Yuumi, so I need to block them to stop that. By the way, the best power fruit for Malzahar is Mage, which allows him to use his ability twice.
I don't know why, but this game ended sooner than I expected. I defeated and eliminated my opponent at the start of the 6th stage. I managed to finish the game in 1st place. But it wasn't easy. You need certain things for this composition to be strong. For example, a 2-star Varus. He kills opponents whose health has been reduced by Malzahar's poison.
Thanks for reading. If you play TFT, I recommend trying this composition. See you in my next post!
