What is QSS (Quicksilver Sash) in TFT?

In Teamfight Tactics (TFT), QSS stands for Quicksilver Sash, a crucial item designed to counter crowd control (CC) effects. By granting a powerful cleanse effect, QSS allows the champion wearing it to quickly remove debuffs like stuns, silences, or roots, ensuring they can continue to fight or cast abilities without interruption.

QSS Recipe in TFT:

• Negatron Cloak + Sparring Gloves

Combining a Negatron Cloak and Sparring Gloves creates Quicksilver Sash (QSS), a versatile item that grants a cleanse effect to the wearer.

Effect of QSS (Quicksilver Sash):

• Crowd Control Removal: QSS removes all debuffs (such as stuns, silences, roots, and blinds) when the item is used. This is particularly useful against opponents with heavy CC, like those using Lux, Veigar, or Ashe.
• Instant CC Removal: The Quicksilver Sash works instantly, removing the CC as soon as it is applied, allowing the champion to regain mobility and continue their attack or use abilities without being hindered.
• Sustain and Survival: Because CC can disable a champion for several seconds, QSS significantly improves the survivability of carries and important frontline units, enabling them to escape dangerous situations and stay active in combat.

Why is QSS (Quicksilver Sash) Valuable?

• Anti-CC Tool: Quicksilver Sash is particularly effective against teams that rely on heavy crowd control to lock down key champions. By using QSS, you can prevent your main carry or tank from being locked down and allow them to function effectively.
• Synergy with Carry Champions: If you have an AD carry or spell-casting champion that is vulnerable to CC, QSS becomes an essential item to keep them in the game and avoid being rendered useless by disabling effects.

Example Use:

For a champion like Ashe, who can quickly disable other units with her Ultimate (Enchanted Crystal Arrow), giving your carry QSS can ensure they don’t get stunned and can continue to deal damage. Similarly, a frontline champion like Sejuani can use QSS to escape crowd control effects and remain on the battlefield.
