Aiden currently shows overwhelming performance with an armor penetration build in the ranged dealer meta. 'Vulnerable Cheonggus' and 'Taega' are stable choices, and the 'Lapte' item is crucial for maximizing Aiden's performance, making players feel 'like a human'. The 'Yade Cheongo Musinsa' build offers high damage output along with over 3000 HP, providing excellent survivability. ⚔️ Core Build: Secure high damage and survivability simultaneously with the 'Yade Cheongo Musinsa' build. 🛡️ Essential Item: Prioritize 'Lapte' to unleash Aiden's full potential. 🎯 Meta Utilization: Show powerful performance with an armor penetration build against compositions with many ranged dealers.

Aiden deals explosive damage when skills are accurately landed, possessing the strength to calmly subdue opponents even in 1v3 situations. Strategic play is possible by utilizing 'Basic Attack' (auto-attack) to make it difficult for opponents to react, and organic coordination with teammates can lead to miraculous victories even in unfavorable situations. In the final battle, it's crucial to anticipate the shrinking safe zone and prioritize survival, effectively utilizing teammates' skills like 'Cube Shield'. 💥 Skill Accuracy: Focus on landing skills accurately to deal explosive damage. 🤝 Teamwork: Coordinate with teammates to turn unfavorable situations around and utilize 'Cube Shield', etc. 🗺️ Battlefield Awareness: Anticipate the safe zone and enemy positions to aim for both survival and kill opportunities.

Irem has recently surged to an S-tier character, recording top-tier metrics in Black and Diamond tiers without any specific buffs. This is because Irem is a 'well-rounded' character perfectly suited for the current meta, possessing versatile abilities such as ranged poking, initiation, crowd control, and aggro juggling. Irem primarily excels in the mid-frontline position, strong at countering enemy dive compositions. The recommended route is 'Police Station-Temple' (2-route), and the core item is 'An Garde', essential for AP bruisers. 📈 Meta Adaptation: Adapt flexibly to various situations with 'well-rounded' stats to achieve S-tier performance. 🛡️ Core Item: Prioritize 'An Garde' to maximize defense and efficiency. 🐾 Position Understanding: Counter enemy dives from the 'mid-frontline' and consider your team's damage balance.

Irem has very strong 1v1 power in the early game, so it's good to boldly engage if the opponent seems manageable. You can use the E skill (fish form) to cross terrain or move further, and effectively utilizing the shield gained in fish form can provide tank-level survivability. When characters like Shoichi use their ultimate, it's effective to deploy a smoke bomb to block vision. The Q skill (Meow Punch) can increase hit rate when used around terrain. It's important to master aggro juggling, hitting and retreating, rather than pushing too deep. 🐟 Enhance Survivability: Utilize the E skill's shield and mobility to increase survivability and practice aggro juggling. 💨 Vision Block: Use smoke bombs appropriately to neutralize key enemy skills and obscure vision. 🎯 Skill Utilization: Use the Q skill around terrain, and show boldness in early 1v1 engagements.

Despite recent nerfs, Fiora continues to show strong performance in Platinum, Diamond, and higher tiers, as well as in tournaments. The currently popular 'Headbutt Dinosaur' build, combined with 'Bulgae', 'An Garde', 'Hermes', and 'Yumyeong', boasts a sturdy power level, enabling bold initiations and overwhelming combat power. Opponents lacking strong crowd control abilities particularly struggle to deal with Fiora's charge. 💪 Overcome Nerfs: Excel in higher tiers even after nerfs with a sturdy power level and bold initiations. 🔥 Core Build: Complete the sturdy 'Headbutt Dinosaur' build focusing on 'Bulgae', 'An Garde', 'Hermes', and 'Yumyeong'. 🛡️ Utilize Defense: Also secure the 'Cohesion' effect from 'G-Dress' to increase skill hit rate with its slow effect.

Fiora is a dive bruiser positioned in the mid-frontline, better suited for compositions that boldly engage rather than poke compositions. The recommended route starts at 'School' and moves to 'Temple'. After completing the full build, you can hunt wild boars around the Temple or move towards the Police Station or Alley to provoke engagements. The ability to boldly initiate, trusting the 'Bulgae' build, is crucial. However, in the early game, the 'Bulgae' effect does not activate without the weapon skill (Repetimos), so it's best to avoid engagements until you acquire it. 🏃‍♂️ Bold Initiation: Trust 'Bulgae' and initiate aggressively, engaging in fights first. 🗺️ Recommended Route: Utilize the 'School-Temple' route to quickly farm core items and provoke engagements. ⚔️ Skill Focus: Focus on landing 'Repetimos' and other skills accurately, rather than just relying on old marks.

Piolo is an experimental subject with hidden carry potential, leading teams to victory with excellent survivability and unexpected damage output. Despite not being a tank, Piolo shows resilience and is difficult to take down if their HP isn't lowered. Piolo excels at controlling the battlefield through long-range play and communication with teammates, and is adept at neutralizing key enemy damage dealers. For Piolo players, the 'Jinkal' item is highly recommended, providing powerful damage, as described by the evaluation 'the damage is truly something else'. 💎 Hidden Carry Potential: Utilize Piolo's potential to lead teams to victory with high survivability and unexpected damage. 🔪 Core Item: Prioritize 'Jinkal' to maximize Piolo's damage output. 🤝 Team Coordination: Control the battlefield with long-range reach and communication with teammates, neutralizing key enemies.

In ranked games, organic teamwork and strategic operation with teammates are key to victory. In high-rank queues like Mythril, dramatic victories can be achieved through the efforts of teammates, and it's crucial to remain calm in crisis situations. When role distribution and communication among teammates are well-executed, such as yielding items or emphasizing support roles, unexpected synergies can lead to consecutive victories. In the final engagement, it's important to ascertain the opponent's revive status or the availability of their ultimate skills. 🏆 Teamwork: Maximize synergy through organic communication and role distribution with teammates. 🧠 Strategic Operation: Remain calm in crisis situations and adopt a supportive mindset, such as yielding items. 🔍 Battlefield Analysis: Before the final engagement, identify key enemy information (revives, ultimates) to formulate a winning strategy.
