High-Tech is an exciting new origin in the Teamfight Tactics Season 14 roster, notable for its unique item mechanics exclusive to champions belonging to this origin.
The High-Tech team composition offers flexible gameplay, combining tankiness and powerful damage thanks to buffs that increase health and attack speed. Without needing other origins, High-Tech can completely handle tanking and damage on its own; just add one or two other champions and you'll have a solid team for climbing the ranks.
In this article, we will explore how to build an effective High-Tech team composition, from champion selection and equipment to gameplay strategies.
Characteristics of the Tribe
The Technocentric trait in TFT Season 14 allows players to equip special items to champions belonging to this trait. These items not only increase base power but also stack Health and Attack Speed based on the number of Technocentric champions activated.
- 3 High-Tech Items: 30 Health, 2% Attack Speed + 1 first High-Tech item
- 5 High-Tech Items: 110 Health, 3% Attack Speed + a second High-Tech item.
- 7 High-Tech Items: 200 Health, 7% Attack Speed + a third High-Tech item.
- 10 High-Tech Items: 500 Health, 40% Attack Speed + all High-Tech items
Generals belonging to the High-Tech faction include:
- Jax (High Technology x Courage)
- Jhin (High-Tech x Marksman x Electro-Mechanic)
- Mordekaiser (High-Tech x Fighter x Specialist)
- Naafiri (High Technology x AMP)
- Sejuani (High Technology x Courage)
- Varus (High-Tech x Executioner)
- Zeri (High-Tech x Combo Attack)
How to build a High-Tech team
To maximize the power of the High-Tech trait, you should aim to activate at least 5 or 7 High-Tech units to receive special items and significant buffs. Below is a basic team composition you can refer to:
Team lineup:
- Tank Champions: Jax, Sejuani
- Carry Champions: Jhin, Varus, Zeri
- Support Champions: Mordekaiser, Naafiri
Characteristic
This team composition focuses on balancing the tankiness of the champions (Jax, Sejuani) with the high damage output of the carries (Jhin, Varus, Zeri). Mordekaiser and Naafiri act as support, dealing damage and providing synergistic effects for their teammates.
Choose your champions and arrange their positions.
Top (Tank)
- Jax: As the Valiant One, Jax is an excellent tank champion, capable of both dealing damage and protecting the team in the early game, and you should pick him immediately if you see him appearing frequently.
- Sejuani: Also belonging to the Courageous group, Sejuani offers area-of-effect crowd control, slowing enemies and protecting backline carries, making her a useful late-game champion.
- Mordekaiser: Being both a Fighter and a Specialist, Mordekaiser can tank damage well and deal significant damage.
Rear Row (Carry)
- Jhin: A Marksman x Electro-Mechanic, Jhin deals powerful physical and magical damage from a distance.
- Varus: As the Executioner, Varus specializes in finishing off low-health enemies.
- Zeri: Chain Attack allows Zeri to attack quickly and continuously, making it ideal for High-Tech items that increase attack speed. Or simply buff your damage if you've already reached the High-Tech or Chain Attack milestone. See more Zeri build guides for TFT Season 14.
Support
- Naafiri: AMP supports the team by boosting effects and secondary damage.
Situate:
Position Jax, Mordekaiser, and Sejuani in the front row to absorb damage. Jhin, Varus, and Zeri should be in the back row to optimize damage output. Naafiri can be positioned in the middle to support both lines.
Item build for High-Tech champions
Choosing the right equipment, especially utilizing high-tech items, is crucial for maximizing the team's potential. Below are suggested equipment builds for each champion:
- Sejuani, Jax: Thornmail, Warmog's Armor, Dragon's Claw, Stoneplate, Sunfire Cape, Adaptive Helm.
- Jhin, Zeri: Infinity Edge, Blue Bow, Giant Slayer, Deathblade, Rageblade.
- Varus: Guinsoo's Rageblade, Hand of Justice, Gem Gauntlet, Archangel's Staff, Nashor's Tooth.
- Mordekaiser: Darkin Cloak, Hand of Justice, and tanky items like Sejuani and Jax will work.
- Naafiri: Shojin Spear, Spellbreaker Cloak, Bloodthirster, Sterak's Claw, Hand of Justice, Giant's Power.
Besides the equipment mentioned above, don't forget to equip High-Tech items for your champions to take advantage of the Health and Attack Speed buffs from the origin.
Early game
Focus on finding low-cost High-Tech champions like Jax, Naafiri, and Jhin. The main goal is to activate 3 High-Tech units and receive your first High-Tech item. If you plan on rolling for Jhin, don't spend money on leveling him up; save your money for later rolls, even if you're on a losing streak. Conversely, if you want Zeri or Varus, reach level 4 in round 3-1.
Mid-match
Find Mordekaiser and Varus and add them to your team to activate 5 High-Tech units. If you roll for Jhin to 3 stars, stop at level 6 and slowroll for him with more than 50 gold. Equip items for Jhin; he can carry items for Zeri, so if you want to easily upgrade Zeri later in the game, use Magnet to remove items. Level up Jhin to 7 once you have 3 stars.
End of Match
Completing 7 High-Techniques is an easily achievable milestone. If you can reach 9 and find the High-Technique Seal, then reaching 10 High-Techniques is possible. However, finding 10 High-Techniques is very difficult. So, stop at 7 High-Techniques and focus on developing your team's champions, upgrading Zeri in the late game.
Since High Technology relies heavily on special items, prioritize collecting them early. Additionally, pay attention to the enemy team composition to strategically position your heroes and avoid being countered.
The High-Tech team composition in TFT Season 14 is a promising option with a unique playstyle thanks to special items and powerful buffs. Importantly, High-Tech has a full complement of tank and damage-dealing champions, so you only need to assemble enough High-Tech champions without relying heavily on champions from other origins.
If you know how to build and implement a sound strategy, you can absolutely climb the ranks effectively with this team composition. Hopefully, this article has provided you with an overview and useful tips to use this champion more effectively.
