League of Legends: Hegemony with Daisy and 4 Ninja in the Arena of Truth

Ninja is a force in the Arena of Truth version 9.14. At Twitch Rivals, this lineup always has a say in matches. The tournament’s champion streamer is Josh “JoshOG” Beaver with the Voli squad he created, but the destruction the Shinobi causes cannot be ignored.

There are a few races or systems that can combine well with the Shinobi. Assassins are the most popular choice, but when Shinobi combines with the Elements, this is also a very strong squad.

The strength of the Ninja – Elemental squad is in the large damage source and having a strong tanker. Daisy has been nerfed recently, but she’s still a barrier you can count on. With the addition of Daisy, your squad will excel in the mid and late game.

The Elemental – Ninja lineup includes generals: Zed, Shen, Lissandra, Kennen, Evelynn, Akali, Brand.

There isn’t too much to say about the Elemental – Ninja. After you have 6 main units, your formation is completed at the basic level. You will add an extra Assassin like Evelynn to the squad, then you can choose strong champions like Swain, Anivia or Cho’Gath.

In the early stages, you should not try to build a squad. More than 1 Ninja or not enough 4 will be very weak, instead use other Assassins like Kha’Zik, Zed and Pyke. You can sell Pyke and Kha’Zik after you have 4 Ninjas. Zed is a strong general in the squad, besides Akali, so don’t be afraid to give Zed the necessary equipment.

The lineup will be complete when you have Akali. Level 5 is where you can get her, but in reality it’s very difficult and at level 6 would probably be more doable. Akali is a 4 gold champion so it will be difficult to own, but once you have Akali, your squad will be a powerful force.

Before this point in the game, you should be actively looking for Shinobi. Zed should be on the chessboard, and Shen and Kennen should be on the sub. Once you have Akali, you can bring Shen and Kennen to the board. There will be no problem with the champions you are using as long as you are still building the formation according to the original orientation. The main source of damage for the squad will be on Zed and Akali, but Kennen is also a major champion. But no matter what, you should still prioritize everything for Akali, and she will take you to the top 1.

Some equipment suitable for Akali are Hextech Gunblade, Archangel’s Staff, Dragon’s Claw or Ma Vu Dual Sword. For Zed, the Infinity Sword, Blood Sword and Rapid Fire Cannon are quite ideal.

After you have the majority of the squad, your remaining task is to find the remaining Elemental champions. Along with that are generals with good CC and good resistance like Cho’Gath, Sejuani or Gnar, but adding Assassin is still more reasonable.

The Elemental is a fairly easy system to switch to from Shinobi. With Fake Ring, you’ve got Kennen. And the next two champions can use Lissandra and Brand. Anivia is an Elemental, but she doesn’t fit this lineup too well. Brand is a highly rated pick with his massive AoE damage and his Demon race.

When you have all 6 key generals, you will open the door to rank up. And from this point on, you should add some champions to counter the remaining players’ lineup. You can use champions with good stand-alone combat abilities to do this.

Don’t expect that this lineup will be stormy for long. Play when you can. Riot Games will probably have small updates to reduce the power of Ninja and Elemental.
