Kha Y Tran TFT Set 18: Enchanted Wilds brings a new group of powerful 5-cost champions. Each unit has a unique skill. In addition, many of them can change the result of a fight with only one cast.

Because of this, learning these 5-cost units is very important. Here is a full guide to every legendary champion in TFT Set 18.

Alune
Alune is a strong magic damage carry. However, she does more than attack enemies. Her power changes with the moon.
Ability: Moonfall
Alune sends moon pieces at nearby enemies. Each piece deals magic damage.
However, when the moon becomes full, the skill changes. Alune drops the moon onto the board. As a result, all enemies take magic damage.
Therefore, Alune becomes stronger in long fights. She can also help the whole team with her traits.
Traits
Attuned: Alune changes the moon effect after each cast. When the moon is small, the team becomes tougher. When the moon is larger, the team deals more damage.
Lunar: Lunar units and nearby allies gain Attack Speed and Ability Power. In addition, Lunar champions gain a larger bonus.
Spellweaver: The whole team gains Ability Power. Moreover, Spellweavers gain more AP after they cast.
Ashe
Ashe is a strong backline carry. She is especially useful against teams with many tanks.
Ability: Spirit Rift
Ashe fires an arrow through several enemies. The arrow deals physical damage.
Then, it creates a Spirit Rift on the board. Enemies inside the area take damage every second. In addition, the damage is based on their maximum Health.
The rift also slows enemies. Therefore, Ashe can damage and control several targets at the same time.
Traits
Blossom: Blossom units gain Attack Damage, Ability Power, and maximum Health.
Hunter: Hunters gain Attack Damage. In addition, they deal more damage when they keep attacking the same target.
Draven
Draven is one of the strongest physical damage carries in the set. He can build Bleed stacks and then destroy weakened targets.
Ability: Whirling Death
Draven’s basic attacks apply Bleed. This effect deals physical damage over time.
After several attacks, Draven throws two large axes. He aims at the enemy with the most Bleed stacks.
The axes damage every enemy they pass through. Then, they remove all Bleed stacks. As a result, the remaining Bleed damage happens at once.
Therefore, Draven is very strong against low-Health enemies.
Trait
Bounty Seeker: Draven can complete bounty missions. After he finishes one mission, the player receives a reward and can choose another one.
Because of this, Draven can give both damage and extra value.
Gnar
Gnar is a powerful frontline champion. He can deal damage, stun enemies, and reduce their defenses.
Ability: Rage Gene
Gnar gains Rage over time and from his attacks.
When he has enough Rage, he becomes Mega Gnar. Then, he jumps into the largest group of enemies.
After landing, he deals physical damage. He also lowers enemy Armor and Magic Resist. In addition, he stuns them.
Mega Gnar then gains a new skill called Grab n’ Throw.
With this skill, he throws his target toward the farthest enemy. The target and other enemies in the path take damage.
However, if only one enemy remains, Gnar throws that unit off the board.
Traits
Elderwood: Players receive Elderwood plants that can be placed on the board.
Sprykin: The trait gives the team a special companion. Its attacks and skills change based on the rider.
Brawler: The team gains maximum Health. Meanwhile, Brawlers gain a larger bonus.
Ivern
Ivern is a support unit. He protects allies and helps them deal more damage.
Ability: Triggerseed
Ivern gives an ally a shield. He also gives that unit bonus damage for a short time.
Then, nearby enemies take magic damage.
After several casts, Ivern also gives the target stacking Attack Speed. Therefore, he works very well with fast carries.
Trait
Greenfather: Ivern gains seeds when he casts and at the start of combat.
He uses these seeds to grow special tiles on the board. Units standing on these tiles receive useful bonuses.
Kennen
Kennen is a magic damage champion with strong area attacks.
Ability: Firestorm
Kennen gains Ability Power for every burning enemy.
Then, he gains a shield and dashes through a nearby group. Each enemy he passes takes magic damage.
After the dash, Kennen creates a large firestorm. The storm deals magic damage over time to enemies inside it.
Therefore, Kennen is very dangerous when enemies stand close together.
Traits
Inferno: Inferno damage burns enemies and applies Grievous Wounds. In addition, different burn effects can stack.
Executioner: Executioners gain critical strike power and extra value from critical hits.
Lux
Lux is one of the most flexible 5-cost champions in TFT Set 18.
Ability: Final Spark
Lux fires a laser toward the largest group of enemies. The laser deals magic damage.
However, its damage becomes lower after hitting several targets.
In addition, all allies who share a trait with Lux gain Mana when she casts.
Lux also gains a different bonus based on her current trait.
Fae: Heals the ally with the lowest Health.
Coven: Lowers enemy Armor and Magic Resist.
Solar: Reduces the damage of enemies hit.
Primal: Gives Lux Attack Speed after she casts.
Eldritch: Stuns enemies hit by the laser.
Blossom: Deals extra damage to the first target.
Inferno: Restores Mana after a kill.
Elderwood: Gives allies more maximum Health for the rest of combat.
Lunar: Makes enemies take more damage.
Trait
Avatar: Lux can change into different traits.
In addition, her chosen trait counts as two trait points. Therefore, she can help players reach higher trait levels more easily.
However, only one player can own an Avatar with a certain trait.
Because of this, Lux may become one of the most contested units in the set.
Maokai
Maokai is a strong tank. He can block damage, heal himself, and attack nearby enemies.
Ability: Sow the Seeds
After Maokai blocks enough damage, a small plant jumps toward a nearby enemy. It then deals magic damage.
When Maokai casts, he damages his target and heals himself. The healing is based on his missing Health.
Therefore, Maokai becomes harder to kill when his Health is low.
Traits
Old Growth: Maokai gains permanent maximum Health when a nearby enemy dies.
Juggernaut: The team gains more defense. In addition, Juggernauts gain an even larger bonus.
Taric
Taric is a defensive support. He can protect himself and one chosen ally.
Ability: Emerald Radiance
At the start of combat, Taric can be linked with another unit.
The first time Taric or his partner falls below a Health level, both release emerald energy. This gives a shield to nearby allies.
When Taric casts, he heals himself and his partner. In addition, their next attacks deal bonus magic damage.
Therefore, Taric works well with an important carry or frontline unit.
Traits
Emerald Aspect: Taric can bond with one ally. That unit receives strong bonuses from his skill.
Vanguard: Vanguards gain shields at the start of combat. They also gain another shield after falling below a certain Health level.
The Elder Dragon
The Elder Dragon may be the strongest late-game unit in TFT Set 18.
Ability: Heat Without Equal
The Elder Dragon’s attacks damage enemies next to its main target.
When it casts, it becomes impossible to target. Then, it flies into the air and gains healing from damage dealt.
After landing, it stuns all enemies. It also burns them for several seconds.
The burn deals physical damage based on maximum Health each second. Therefore, it is very strong against tanks.
On later casts, the dragon breathes fire in a straight line. This deals physical damage and burns every enemy hit.
The Elder Dragon also has a special execute effect. When an enemy falls below a certain Health level, the dragon can kill it at once.
Traits
Riftbeast: Gives the team an Alpha Mark item. This item makes the Riftbeast stronger.
Apex Predator: The Elder Dragon takes two team slots. However, it also gives two extra Riftbeast trait points.
Because of this, the unit is expensive to use. Still, its power can easily be worth the cost.
Which 5-Cost Champion Is the Best?
Every 5-cost champion in TFT Set 18 has a clear role.
Lux may be the most flexible unit. She can fit into many team comps and help activate strong trait levels.
Meanwhile, The Elder Dragon may be the strongest main carry. It deals huge damage, stuns enemies, and can execute low-Health targets.
Gnar, Maokai, and Taric are strong frontline units. In contrast, Ashe, Draven, and Alune can become the main damage carry.
Ivern is a useful support. Kennen, on the other hand, is strong against groups of enemies.
Overall, TFT Set 18 offers many powerful legendary units. Therefore, players should learn each skill before the new set begins.
Once you understand their roles, you can build stronger late-game teams. In addition, you can make better choices when you find a 5-cost champion in the shop.
