In TFT Set 13, the Bruiser trait is an excellent foundation for building a tanky frontline that protects high-damage carries. This guide explores a powerful 6-Bruiser setup with Jinx as the main carry and Ekko as the secondary, supported by Nunu and Elise as tanks. The goal is to leverage Bruisers’ durability, paired with Scrap and Rebel synergies, to create a high-sustain and high-damage team that excels in extended fights.

Core Team Composition

  1. Main Carry: Jinx (5g)

Jinx is the primary damage dealer. She benefits significantly from the Ambusher trait’s critical strike bonuses, allowing her abilities to crit for massive damage. Position her in the backline to keep her safe while letting the Bruisers absorb the front-loaded damage.

  1. Secondary Carry: Ekko (4g)

Ekko’s Ambusher trait makes him a strong second carry, giving his abilities critical strike potential and additional crit chance and damage. As a Scrap unit, he also gains extra shielding from components, enhancing his survivability while dealing strong burst damage.

  1. Frontline Tanks: Nunu & Willump (3g), Elise (4g)

Nunu and Elise serve as the primary tanks in this composition. Their Bruiser trait bonus gives them extra health, allowing them to withstand prolonged battles and keep the enemy occupied, which is crucial for Jinx and Ekko to deal damage safely.

  1. Additional Bruisers: Steb (1g), Trundle (1g), Sett (2g), and Renni (3g)

These units complete the 6-Bruiser setup, providing your entire team with additional max health. The Bruiser trait grants percentage-based bonus health to all Bruisers, reaching up to 70% more at six units. This makes them incredibly hard to take down, reinforcing your frontline.

Trait Synergies

  • Bruiser (6): Grants additional health to your team, with Bruisers receiving even more. This trait ensures your tanks can soak up significant damage, protecting Jinx and Ekko as they unleash their abilities.

  • Ambusher (2): With Ekko and Jinx as Ambushers, their abilities can critically strike, increasing their overall damage output. This trait also provides additional crit chance and damage, making Jinx a deadly carry option.

  • Scrap (2): This trait is valuable for adding temporary full items to Scrap units, like Ekko. At two Scrap units, one components will be converted into items at the start of combat, which also grants shields to Scrap units, enhancing their durability.

  • Rebel (3): The Rebel trait with Sett, Ezreal, and Jinx gives Rebels bonus attack damage and ability power. When your team loses 30% of their health, Rebels gain 60% attack speed for four seconds, amplifying Jinx’s output in critical moments.

Game plan

  1. Early Game Strategy

In the early game, focus on assembling Steb, Trundle, and Sett as the core Bruisers to build a strong frontline. Aim to find Jinx and Ekko as soon as possible to start stacking items on them. Prioritize building offensive items for Jinx, while giving Ekko items that increase his critical strike chance and shielding.

  1. Mid to Late Game Transitions

By mid-game, your focus should be on reaching six Bruisers to maximize the health benefits. Add Nunu and Renni to complete the Bruiser trait, boosting your frontline’s durability. Once Jinx and Ekko are secured, complete the Scrap trait with additional Scrap units, providing shields that enhance survivability.

Ideal Itemization

  • Jinx: Infinity Edge, Jeweled Gauntlet, Bloodthirster

Infinity Edge and Jeweled Gauntlet make Jinx’s abilities crit for higher damage, while Bloodthirster adds lifesteal to improve her sustain.

  • Ekko: Blue Buff, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Last Whisper

Blue Buff allows Ekko to cast more frequently, and Rabadon’s Deathcap boosts his ability power. Last Whisper increases his critical damage output, making him a consistent secondary carry.

  • Nunu: Warmog’s Armor, Sunfire Cape

As a tank, Nunu benefits from items that enhance his health and durability, allowing him to withstand sustained combat and apply burn damage with Sunfire Cape.

  • Elise: Gargoyle Stoneplate, Redemption

Stoneplate improves her survivability when surrounded, and Redemption provides healing, adding more sustain to your team.

Positioning Tips

  • Place Bruisers in the frontline to absorb incoming damage, with Nunu and Elise positioned centrally.
  • Position Jinx in a corner to keep her protected, allowing her to unleash her damage safely.
  • Place Ekko near the frontline but not directly exposed to allow him to dart around the battlefield and stay safe.

Conclusion

The 6-Bruiser Jinx composition in TFT Set 13 is an exciting and resilient setup. With Jinx as the primary carry and Ekko as a high-impact secondary, supported by a durable frontline, this comp excels at sustaining through intense battles. By combining Bruiser, Ambusher, Scrap, and Rebel traits, this build has both high durability and explosive potential, offering players a flexible and potent strategy for climbing the ranks. Adapt your itemization and positioning, and let Jinx lead your team to victory!
