Introduction
The Dominator trait in TFT Set 13 offers a unique strategy for players who enjoy powerful, scaling abilities in their champions. By focusing on survivability and enhanced ability power, Dominators bring both resilience and increased spell damage to the battlefield. At the start of combat, they gain a shield that scales with the number of Dominators in play, lasting up to 15 seconds. Additionally, every time a Dominator casts a spell, they accumulate more ability power based on their mana expenditure. This dynamic creates an exciting balance between defensive strength and growing offensive power, making the Dominator trait a formidable choice for those looking to outlast and overpower their opponents.

Final Board Setup
Game plan
True to its name, "Dominator," Ziggs the explosives expert serves as a true carry in the Dominator composition. He relentlessly hurls bombs at his target, with three additional bombs scattering to deal damage to nearby enemies. While this composition is off-meta, it compensates by being uncontested, easy to play, and incredibly powerful!
Augment priority: Econ > Items > Combat
Anomaly: Ziggs has been chosen as an Anomaly, making him a standout in the Dominator composition. With his enhanced abilities, he becomes even more effective as a carry, dealing massive damage not only to his primary target but also to enemies around him. This makes the off-meta strategy even more appealing, offering a fun and powerful alternative that's rarely contested!
- Kill Streak: Gain 25 Mana each kill.
- Nothing Wasted: When an ally dies, gain 100% of their current Mana.
- Early game
You start with the following lineup: Draven, Darius, Powder, Violet, and Vander. This combination offers a solid early-game foundation, blending strong frontline units like Darius and Vander with high-damage backline carries such as Draven and Powder. Violet adds utility and versatility, ensuring you can adapt your strategy based on the items and augments you receive.
This setup not only ensures a strong economy and board presence but also sets you up to transition smoothly into your desired mid to late-game composition!
Powder will act as the item holder for Ziggs, allowing you to optimize your resources in the early game. Since Powder shares a similar role as a backline damage dealer, you can equip her with items that Ziggs will use later. By doing this, you maintain a strong early-game board while preparing for a smooth transition into your Dominator composition centered around Ziggs.
- Mid game
Once you get Elise, you can transition to the following lineup, positioning Ziggs at the center of the backline to maximize the effectiveness of his ability. This setup ensures Ziggs' ability can cover a wide area, dealing significant AoE damage, while the rest of the team provides balance and protection.
- Late game
Just level up to 9 and start searching for high-cost units to complete your late-game setup. Once you secure 6 Dominators, Ziggs will unleash his devastating power as the main carry. If you're lucky enough to roll the Nothing Wasted anomaly (when an ally dies, gain 100% of their current Mana), Ziggs becomes even more unstoppable.
With Nothing Wasted, each time an ally falls, Ziggs can immediately cast his ability again, bombarding enemies non-stop. This synergy ensures that even in tough battles, your team maintains overwhelming pressure, turning the tides in your favor.
