If you are thinking that Threat Traits are irrelevant in the game, you are pretty much wrong. That’s because they are slightly more buffed than other units in TFT set 8 as mentioned earlier. Being more buffed than others, Threat units also act individually. So, if you are looking to cause massive damage output against your enemies, Threat champions might be the right pick. You can also use the Threat traits to fill in your team composition. Alternatively, you can also use the Threats as the item holders for higher-cost units. These units might be a perfect replacement if your board is a mess or weak.
