Bastion Emblem

The Bastion Emblem grants TFT Set 17's armor/MR-scaling tank trait. Breakpoints at 2/4/6 deliver scaling resistance bonuses, with 6 producing near-immortal frontlines against mixed damage. Features Poppy, Aatrox, Jax, Ornn, Rammus, and Shen. After 5 seconds of combat, Bastion holders gain bonus attack speed, turning late-game teamfights into Bastion-favored grinds. Crafted from Frying Pan + Chain Vest, the emblem contributes +20 Armor, making it a pure tank item that stacks with the trait's resistance scaling.

Slam the Bastion Emblem when committing to a 4 or 6 Bastion frontline, or as a 2-point stability splash. The emblem's Chain Vest means it's a partial Bramble Vest or Gargoyle Stoneplate, giving tangible stats even before the trait kicks in. Place the emblem on Rammus (Meeple/Bastion) for maximum trait stacking or Ornn (Space Groove/Bastion) for flex scaling. Avoid placing on Shen — he's a 5-cost capstone and his damage reduction kit doesn't need the stat boost. Bastion 6 is typically the cap you can reach at level 9 with an emblem, and the attack-speed ramp makes it a top-tier late-game pick.

Bastion pairs with Meeple (Rammus/Poppy), Space Groove (Ornn), N.O.V.A. (Aatrox), Stargazer (Jax), and frontline synergy with Vanguard or Brawler. At Bastion 6, armor-heavy items like Bramble Vest and Gargoyle Stoneplate become multiplicatively stronger. For late-game, add Shepherd or Conduit for backline support.

• 1Chain Vest component makes this emblem a partial tank item — slam if item-starved.
• 2Bastion 4 with Rammus + Jax + Ornn is a stage 4 power spike.
• 3The trait's delayed AS bonus favors extended fights — position to protect Bastions from burst.
• 4Avoid Bastion vs. true-damage-heavy boards; the resistance scaling is less effective.
• 5Rammus is the optimal emblem holder; Shen wastes the emblem.
