Ionia DTCL season 9 equipment

Tank champions that can hold items include Ionia, Sett, and Shen, while Ahri and Karma should hold magic items. As for physical damage items, you should let Zed, Yasuo, and Jhin help each other.

You should aim for Karma as a magic carry and slowroll, otherwise you can ask her to carry items for Ahri. Same goes for Zed and Jhin, you can choose to roll both of them to 3 stars or ask one of them to carry items for him. Remember to choose tank items for the remaining 3 champions.

Build items for Ionia DTCL, how to play Ionia TFT season 9

Early game

It's simple, start with 3 Ionia and add Warwick to get the buffs as shown below. If you can get 2 stars for 2 or 3 champions, you will definitely have a winning streak in the early game. If you don't get anywhere, you can actively have a losing streak and not level up.

Mid game

If you're lucky you can use 6 Ionia if you see Yasuo or Shen, otherwise keep the champions as below and add Karma and Zed to the team. Or add a tank or damage depending on what you need.

End Game

Finishing with 6 Ionian and 4 Challenger if you get Yasuo and Shen, this comp is easy to complete because it doesn't need any 5 gold units. The reason for choosing this comp is because it will complement Yasuo well, besides that, Zed, Kalista and Jhin support more damage. The rest carry all the tanks.

Or switch to magic damage if you face a lot of Ahri or roll for 3-star Karma. Magic damage will be more, Taric will fill in the tank line to thicken the tank line of the team.

If you have 6 Ionians, you can use many different paths as shown below. Jhin can help Urgot carry items and he will be the main force in the late game. Urgot has quite special skills and can completely destroy the enemy team.

Ryze is a late game champion with a very diverse skill list, Ionian Gate can help him heal and increase attack speed for his allies. But Karma is still the main source of damage because Ryze is quite difficult to 3 star.

It is not difficult for players to use Ionia simply because Ionia generals are basically full of offense and defense. Just use Ionia generals with a few outside generals and you have a complete Ionia squad.
