This is a typical level 8 reroll with solid economy to ensure that you level up your primary characters so you can win.
In order for the noxus members to endure enough damage, Katarina and Azir serve as the key damage producers in this composition.
Best setup for this comp:
1. Azir, a Shurima who gains increased attack speed and healing and shares the strategist trait, which gives the frontline greater tankiness and the backline more damage, is one of the key damage dealers in the game.
2. Katarina is your second primary damage dealer since she possesses the noxus trait, which gives her extra stats that increase her resistance to damage and make her blades a deadly weapon.
3. Sion makes a fantastic front-line tank because he can take a tonne of damage without dying, and if he does, he will simply reappear and deliver more damage.
4. Darius is one of the best frontlines in TFT since he can take a lot of punishment while still doing more harm.
5. Nasus is a fantastic frontline player who shares the Jaggernaut trait with Darius, making them both stronger tanks.
6. In order to buy time for the backlines to inflict the necessary damage, Kled will be bolstering the noxus trait and taking a lot of punishment.
7. Swain should be chosen because he can strengthen both the Strategist and the Noxus qualities.
8. Cassiopia is a fantastic choice for the backlines, particularly early on in the game when she can deliver a ton of damage from there.
