One of the best carry of DTCL 8.5 is Twisted Fate. This unit also has a lot of different ‘prestige’ lineup variations.
The Vietnamese server DTCL has ‘picked up’ the mid-season update with a lot of new content waiting for players to discover. Currently, the Chess players have also started the process of climbing a new rank, in which Twisted Fate is a pretty outstanding unit with a lot of powerful lineup variations.
In season 8.5, Riot Games added 2 main AP chess pieces that are not inferior to Taliyah and Soraka (removed) before, including Neeko and Twisted Fate. While Neeko is Taliyah’s replacement in the Mage squad, Twisted Fate is designed as a ‘flex’ unit carrying 3 extremely hot races/systems: Infinity Squad, Duel and Mage.
From here, Twisted Fate can deal a wide variety of damage from attack speed to ability to cast STPT. Even becoming the main force with the highest rate of reaching the top 4 today if not counting the 5-gold pieces in this version.

About equipment
Gamers should use AP equipment to optimize damage from Twisted Fate’s cards, and buff this unit’s attack speed to draw more cards.
Thus, when using Twisted Fate carry, Guinsoo’s Rage Blade is a must-have item. Along with that, Electric Knife and Gemstone Glove are the next priority items respectively to maximize the amount of damage. In addition, players can also use other AP equipment instead of Gemstone Gloves such as Gun Sword, Witch Hat with equally effective pressure stabilization.
Twisted Fate lineup variations
Sorcerer
Twisted Fate in the Magician team will be the main champion with the above equipment. Notably, the fact that Niu Binh has more armor and magic resistance makes it possible for players to combine Magicians with Niu Binh to create an extremely powerful squad. Full lineup: 4 Sorcerers + 4 Bull Soldiers, main tank – Annie and Neeko, main damage – Twisted Fate.
Or players can also ‘mix’ Twisted Fate + Neeko in the Wizards, Star Guardians squad as usual. However, Neeko will be prioritized and the Tank lineup is not too different from season 8.
Duel
Twisted Fate is the replacement unit for Zed in the Duel team. This is a relatively strong squad, good health def and damage harmony.
Thanks to the large AD and STC, Vayne will be the main mainstay, while Twisted Fate with the remaining attack speed and AP items will take the damage side. Meanwhile, the main tank is still Nilah with the Iron Solari Necklace. Then go to 8 to clamp 8 Duel or roll at 7 to check Nilah and Vayne 3 stars.
Infinity Squad
Twisted Fate can also be used well in the team of Infinity Squad in case the player decides to fight at level 8 instead of slow roll Lucian, 3-star Pantheon and Superman. Equipment is still the same, should pair early and level up at 7 to find 5 Infinity Squads. Up to 8 earn Twisted Fate 2 stars and Ultimate Ezreal like the usual 4 gold main lineups.
Shen is the main tank with customization items like Thorn Armor, Blood Armor, Dragon Claw…
Private Entrance
Twisted Fate in the Private Path team is also a stable direction that many players ‘spam’. Priority to upgrade Diamond and can completely help players to the top with other 4, 5 gold pieces.
