Introduction
The Automata trait in TFT Set 13 introduces an engaging and strategic mechanic that rewards continuous combat. By accumulating crystals whenever they deal damage, Automata units unleash a powerful blast upon reaching a threshold, dealing significant magic damage alongside a percentage of the damage dealt since their last activation. With bonus Armor and Magic Resist scaling based on the number of Automata units in play, this trait offers a dynamic combination of sustained durability and burst potential. Understanding how to utilize Automata effectively is key to dominating battles in this set.

This comp focuses on your 3-costs Kog'Maw and Blitzcrank who you both want to 3 star at level 7 as well as Malzahar as your AP damage backup! This team composition requires an Automata Emblem; otherwise, it will focus on playing 4 Automata Kog'Maw Reroll.
- Stage 2
Play from early Kogmaw opener with Bow / Rod items. Take either strong item augment for tempo or econ augment for rerolling.
- Stage 3
Level to 6 and add in more frontline to stall for Kogmaw. If you find Ekko early, play Firelights ASAP.
- Stage 4
Level to 7 and slow roll above 50g for Kogmaw 3 and Blitz 3. Aim for 4 Automata. If you have Emblem, chase 6 Automata on level 8+.
