A sacrifice to spur on the slaughter is the way things wsork basically for the Hunger for Power anomaly in Teamfight Tactics or TFT Set 13. The anomaly works well with carries that have huge damage potential, making losing one champion well worth it. One such champion is Urgot, who can surely dominate especially in the late game. We’ll take a look at how to play this Urgot Hunger for Power strategy with the best synergies and game plan.
Urgot Hunger for Power: The Basics
First, let’s plan a team composition that synergizes with Urgot and can provide a strong frontline. The Experiment and Pit Fighter traits are particularly preferred for the bonus effects they provide.
A sample team comp would be:
- Urgot (2g)
- Sett (2g)
- Tristana (2g)
- Gangplank (3g)
- Nunu & Willump (3g)
- Vi (4g)
- Sevika (5g)
- Zyra (1g)
With this, you’ll have bonus effects from: 4 Pit Fighter, 3 Experiment, 2 Bruiser, and 2 Artillerist as well as the special effects of 1 each for High Roller (Sevika) and Emissary (Tristana)
This composition and overall strategy is most ideal if you find lots of Urgot copies in the shop early, if you get a good item augment, if you’re in high item portals like Component Anvils or Scuttle Puddle, or most especially, if you get the Hunger for Power augment.
Your econ goal is to slow roll until Level 6. That is, not spending gold much on rerolls and ideally having 50 gold by Level 6 so you can look to 3-star your Urgot, Sett, and Gangplank or Tristana,
Early Game Strategy
You’d want a component-heavy early game, which is why it’s so helpful for this comp to be in a portal that gives you component anvils and items. Sword, Glove, and Belt would be the most necessary components to build your carry items, and you’d want to prioritize them on Carousel as well.
Item-slamming is favored in this strategy to ensure a win streak. For an early comp, building a temporary frontline with low-costs like Violet, Trundle, and Steb should be sufficient to get you through the earlier stages without losing. You’d want to protect Urgot to progress smoothly. By the end of Stage 2, the econ you have saved should be 50 gold or above.
Mid-game Strategy
Stage 3 is the crucial point where you must hit Level 6 and roll down to get Sett and Urgot to at least 2 stars. If you already have Nunu & Willump and Zyra, upgrade them as well if your econ permits. Reposition your board to protect Urgot, and activate your synergies to 3 Experiment and 2 Bruisers.
At Stage 4-6, you must already have 60 gold and above so you can reroll for the Hunger for Power anomaly, which is only one among 58 total anomalies in TFT. After getting the anomaly, you should prioritize 3-starring Urgot and Sett, and only 3-star Gangplank or Tristana once you have done so for at least Urgot.
To make your board last long and survive in late game stages, you’d want to have finished all carry items for Urgot and other supporting carries. This, along with the Hunger for Power anomaly in TFT, will make you significantly stronger, and can even ensure a top 4 placement.
Also pay attention to your synergies and try to have 4 Pit Fighters by mid-game through adding Vi or Sevika. By 5-1, you should have already gotten Urgot to 3 stars. If not, start rolling aggressively.
Late Game Strategy
You’ll most likely be able to hit Level 8 by this time, and if you do, add champions that synergize with your board and can fill what it needs to be stable. If you need more defense, add strong frontline champions. If you lack offense, look for more backline carries.
In the late game, you most likely would have also finished building items. The shop would be showing high-cost champs often so you might have less chances in three-starring your other champions. You can instead level up to 9 and add a high-cost that can counter enemy board setups, upgrade your synergy effects, or add a significant power boost.
