To those using Teebo (L), Dengar, EE, QGJ, 5S....
Do you have/have you tried a maxed Phasma instead of 5s? I honestly think she is better then 5s in this setup... Why?
They both have an effective slow.. Yes...
The main difference is 5s assist attack vs Phasma Victory March... Here's my argument... Sure 5s has a chance to call qgj or teebo on his assist attack, but... Phasma's Victory March gives 50% tm, normally enough to get whole team enough of an advantage to go again before Rancor, and it ensures that next hit will be a crit, this is pentacle in making sure Dengar hits that Tenacity down in a critical situation.
My strategy was fast teebo, fast qgj, and super fast EE, feeding that much more TM to the whole team. Victory March was like the "use in case of emergency" endurance that Teebo would get another hit before Rancor went again, and I wouldn't have even thought of traded it for a 25% chance of Teebo assisting instead. Even if it didn't get teebo ahead of rancor, it would always get ee there with how fast I had him, then he'd feed 25% more tm to Teebo, and boom, Teebo is ready to go.
I tried a similar variant with Phasma and Dengar initially, but I found that Phasma's speed down was not reliable enough. Yes her VM is loads better than 5s assist, but if you miss the speed down or if it is resisted, then that's 3 turns you're left waiting. Dengar's speed down shouldn't even be considered here since it's only 50%, but I find the reliability of 5s more useful than the other benefits Phasma gives. Also she doesn't help when called to assist, where 5s will at least reapply speed down.
