You forgot Bronze for Life & Freestyling Theoretically, in 4 emissary + 9 bronze trait, you can get 27 + 45 from both the augment and anomaly for a total of 72% (92% on emissary units). Belt / Sword overflow is also wonderful if you're pivoting and lacking in items. I often pivot into 4 emi instead of hard forcing bcs of item economy (multiple sword is very reliant on rng. You're also unlikely to get swords from carousel when winstreaking). I don't recommend Subscription Service bcs you'll be baited to holding multiple 4-cost, losing econ and being down 1 prismatic. Also i believe its easier to find anomalies for Ambessa > Garen > Corki.
@nathanw7016 obviously it depends on how much unit you can fit & presence of emblem. If you look at the core gameplay section, most of the time you want to go the normal corki or the sentinel variant 9: corki-gp-swain-vi-tf 10: corki-rumble-rell-vlad-malz-noct on the other hand, without BfL or freestyling, i'll just swap lower cost unit with 5/6 costs
thank you brotha, I used it after being stuck in d4 for a couple of days, played it 4 games after skimming the video, diamond 4 to 3 realquick all top 4, I got 2-3-1-2
I was spamming this comp on live release and always thought it was so good, im glad its finally gained traction, I got to plat and stopped playing TFT but its nice to know I knew how to play the game and figured out a good comp and understood good anomaly choices
I struggle to correlate which comps need which types of augments. Like some fast 8 comps dont need econ but some do. A lot of the time ill go for comps that dont fit my augments or augments that dont fit the comps
You need to clarify your comp is default 8 or fast 8 example is rebel and experiment when rebel hit 8 they roll to fit 7 rebel use only 2 zoe and illaoi will good to go. Experiment to hit good tempo they need mundo twitch elise vi upgrade this unit cost 48 gold not count for roll down. So for me if your comp need to use more than 3 4-cost unit and 5 cost in your comp you need good econ.
This game the units came way too natural, the hardest part is to know what to pivot when not getting the units needed. An 8th will lose a lot of progress.
Idk, it's so contested, always have it in mind but when noone seems to go for it i'm like ok, we can hit. suddenly 6 garens aout of the pool and i get none. absolutely fucking up my stage 4, so xd
I think this is one of the highest skill capped boards because of how flexible it is. Still trying to learn it and the units that can be flexed in, didn't do as well as I could have.
Great explanation and guide overall for this comp! One thing wasn't clear tho', how do you build Emissary Ambessa when leaning towards AP? Perhaps backline Swain + Nami? Is there any other options?
if you have all ap items 1stly dont force an ad comp 2ndly if the game looks like its turning to shit, cut your losses and reroll early, stay ahead of the curve with lives and take a 4th
scrap it or gunblade for ambessa guinsoo is not ideal but can be an option too morello for tf/antiheal spreader. if you have way too many rods consider going silco
Best uses for rods are to make morellonomicon for anti heal. You can put it on tf and he procs anti heal quite well. There has been games where i have lots of ap left over items and found morderkaiser 2 on lv9 so replacing swain for mord 2 with ap items can really help you cap out.
Out of curiosity what is soju known to be good at? I believe I've heard dishsoap is good at consistent top 4, setsuko is good at fast 9 comps, but what sets soju apart? Flexibility? Bitching? I haven't heard much talk about this topic which is so weird to me considering he's the most popular tft streamer.
I'm plat 2 and went 7th and 6th with this comp (I had early emissary start too). It's just really hard trying to beat meta comps like nocture and kog auto. I feel like this arcane set is much less flexible compared to other sets... either spam blackrose, family, sorcerer, quicsilver and now auto lol
Emissary tends to be a lot more flexible with high Econ because you often just end up throwing 2* 5 costs with few or no synergies. If you’re playing the default lvl8 corki ambessa board, it unfortunately won’t beat the rest of the meta, but if you can go 9/10 to find Jayce morde rumble sevika, it’ll cap much higher
why tf would you play eon/hoj/gs on ambessa? those items are terrible. eon and hoj combined is just bloodthirster and gs isnt for a unit that changes target (its a tank shred item)
Everyone plays this comp wrong you play around tristana 4 emissary 4 artillery lol it’s so obvious Tristan’s stacks fucking attack damage on kill she’s a monster in the late game
I am not sure if this comp is as reliable as described. Ambessa and Corki both have some targetting funny business and have seen, especially Ambessa, leave low HP units to go somewhere else and basically waste time (Supposed to be fixed, but still happened today). Jayce 1 also has the "can't reliably kill a unit" problem. Also, while it does have a high cap, the amount of gold required is too much. Equivalently strong boards can be accomplished for considerably less, making them a lot more reliable. If he had a lux on bench at 2-1 here for example, with the academy emblem augment it becomes an easy Top 4 from vertical academy with a Top 2/1 potential depending on later items and when you can go 9 for Jayce/Rumble/Malzahar.
This comp ain’t it chief, you would rather just pray for rebel or auto spat and turbo outcap this board. I am traumatized (I played 4 2 star 3 item carries ad flex corki vi ambessa gp and 3 item 2 star Garen, ALL BIS or close to BIS, got railed by a kog 2 malz 1 2 item Garen 1 automata 6) G
Which can be a good thing aswell because you can be flexible towards the units you need. With aut you NEED to hit or you end up losing, with emissaries you just need to hit your 4 champs and from that you can prioritize what suits best or counters best. May not always be a W, but it’s realiable and consistent
You forgot Bronze for Life & Freestyling
Theoretically, in 4 emissary + 9 bronze trait, you can get 27 + 45 from both the augment and anomaly for a total of 72% (92% on emissary units).

What’s the best combination of units to maximise bronze for life?
@nathanw7016 obviously it depends on how much unit you can fit & presence of emblem. If you look at the core gameplay section, most of the time you want to go the normal corki or the sentinel variant
9: corki-gp-swain-vi-tf
10: corki-rumble-rell-vlad-malz-noct
on the other hand, without BfL or freestyling, i'll just swap lower cost unit with 5/6 costs
i just started playing this comp a ton nooo now everyone in my games is gonna be playing this more frodan grrr
I felt that grrr so hard.. 😭
RAGEY
its forcedd in every lobby since 1 weeks what you on about ? x)
in diamond lobbies there’s like 2/3 players since i’ve seen k777soju spam it on stream
Pivot to blackrose silco for free top 4
Really good analysis, love these types of videos where you go in depth
thank you brotha, I used it after being stuck in d4 for a couple of days, played it 4 games after skimming the video, diamond 4 to 3 realquick all top 4, I got 2-3-1-2
2 3 1 2 and +100? Jesus fucking christ your mmr
the production of these videos are getting better and better
i've been looking for an emmisary flex guide, thanks really on point, the image with the packages helped me understand how pivoting was
Whenever I see this videos its just spammed in my games.
thankyou frodan, you explaining everything. keep doin!
great video!
I was spamming this comp on live release and always thought it was so good, im glad its finally gained traction, I got to plat and stopped playing TFT but its nice to know I knew how to play the game and figured out a good comp and understood good anomaly choices
NAH U BAD
U T R A S H
i was 4 way contested with this comp , damn i never thought this is the hot comp bow
I struggle to correlate which comps need which types of augments. Like some fast 8 comps dont need econ but some do. A lot of the time ill go for comps that dont fit my augments or augments that dont fit the comps
my advice is that you got it backwards you should pick your comp based on items and augments you get, not trying to force a comp and make augments fit
You need to clarify your comp is default 8 or fast 8 example is rebel and experiment when rebel hit 8 they roll to fit 7 rebel use only 2 zoe and illaoi will good to go. Experiment to hit good tempo they need mundo twitch elise vi upgrade this unit cost 48 gold not count for roll down. So for me if your comp need to use more than 3 4-cost unit and 5 cost in your comp you need good econ.
K3soju, the one trick rank one!
6:54 Smilers
i learned that family still playable :D
family/scrap is god tier early game
I need a video on how soju scammed a jackpot at Macao
This game the units came way too natural, the hardest part is to know what to pivot when not getting the units needed. An 8th will lose a lot of progress.
I just finished a game using emissary, i got 2nd. Lux is too op 😭
Do you think Flying Scimitar is a good option so you don't have to be so close?
If you mean Prowlers Claw the artifact, then yes its quite good on Ambessa
can this win against renata reroll
You could also play ekko which is pretty good and I find to be underplayed
yes, Ekko Scar works too and Rumble replaces Ekko when u find it
Idk, it's so contested, always have it in mind but when noone seems to go for it i'm like ok, we can hit. suddenly 6 garens aout of the pool and i get none. absolutely fucking up my stage 4, so xd
Yep, garen and illaoi so contested
Yeah, garens always contested but you should be good with just corki and embessa 2
Family RR players are just being the most disgusting in this set 😂
They guarantee top 4 but really cant cap out as good as other comps so i never play it.
I think this is one of the highest skill capped boards because of how flexible it is. Still trying to learn it and the units that can be flexed in, didn't do as well as I could have.
This comp is insane. I got 2nd on gold 1 (yes am still noob) trying to learn how to flex. Even with ap items it still manages to hold out.
Great explanation and guide overall for this comp! One thing wasn't clear tho', how do you build Emissary Ambessa when leaning towards AP? Perhaps backline Swain + Nami? Is there any other options?
just play sorc vertical atp
if you have all ap items 1stly dont force an ad comp 2ndly if the game looks like its turning to shit, cut your losses and reroll early, stay ahead of the curve with lives and take a 4th
You pivot into an AP comp if you don't have AD items
How do you know the average placement of a comp (18:54)? I thought stats were removed
augment data is removed, but unit/comp stats can still be mined from riots api
With item are best for killing the rod?
scrap it or gunblade for ambessa guinsoo is not ideal but can be an option too morello for tf/antiheal spreader. if you have way too many rods consider going silco
Best uses for rods are to make morellonomicon for anti heal. You can put it on tf and he procs anti heal quite well. There has been games where i have lots of ap left over items and found morderkaiser 2 on lv9 so replacing swain for mord 2 with ap items can really help you cap out.

I feel like this arcane set is much less flexible compared to other sets... either spam blackrose, family, sorcerer, quicsilver and now auto lol
Nah u can for sure beat noc and kog with emissary 😅
unless the nocturn get 6 auto and a really strong orn item, it is not that broken
Emissary tends to be a lot more flexible with high Econ because you often just end up throwing 2* 5 costs with few or no synergies. If you’re playing the default lvl8 corki ambessa board, it unfortunately won’t beat the rest of the meta, but if you can go 9/10 to find Jayce morde rumble sevika, it’ll cap much higher
@@flamevenomspider exactly!
Embessa does such little damage wtf
ik im a genius, i always push conq emisarry
thats a contradictory sentence lmao
I thought K3soju was you at first; you look alike
what to do with rod?
If you get excess rods, make stuff like Morello, Deathcap, Spark and play duo carry Twisted Fate / Nami until you hit Rumble
he just rank 1 cause he was luck all of us know
I always lose to this comp. 😂
real
if i get free rerolls early is it better to hold them or use them to spike hard early and conserve hp
This is complete bulshit. My ambessa never deals damage, complete nonsense
Trueee
Skill issue
Ambessa never betrayed me with gloves.
Thumb de Batalha de Rap kkkkkkk
If you get AD items play this and if you get AP items play Silco Morde Dominators, that's all you need to go master this set.
you contested my friend one game and now we all dont like you
A G
why tf would you play eon/hoj/gs on ambessa? those items are terrible. eon and hoj combined is just bloodthirster and gs isnt for a unit that changes target (its a tank shred item)
Everyone plays this comp wrong you play around tristana 4 emissary 4 artillery lol it’s so obvious Tristan’s stacks fucking attack damage on kill she’s a monster in the late game
Ikr I played it yesterday I got 2nd with almost a noob team just cause the tristana with a lot of stacks
I am not sure if this comp is as reliable as described. Ambessa and Corki both have some targetting funny business and have seen, especially Ambessa, leave low HP units to go somewhere else and basically waste time (Supposed to be fixed, but still happened today).

yea idk why he thinks giant slayer is bis for either of those champs when they cast they change target and both have next to zero ap scaling
dude delete this
0 likes, 1 minute. You really fell of Frodan
This comp ain’t it chief, you would rather just pray for rebel or auto spat and turbo outcap this board.
I am traumatized (I played 4 2 star 3 item carries ad flex corki vi ambessa gp and 3 item 2 star Garen, ALL BIS or close to BIS, got railed by a kog 2 malz 1 2 item Garen 1 automata 6)
G
Its not for noobs for sure
It's good, keep trying it, will get better eventually
automata 6 is currently a tad op.
4 emissery flex is strong, and has a strong cap, but it doesnt have a "I hit this, so now i win the game" thing
Which can be a good thing aswell because you can be flexible towards the units you need. With aut you NEED to hit or you end up losing, with emissaries you just need to hit your 4 champs and from that you can prioritize what suits best or counters best.
