TFT Item Quadrant

The closer to the Top Right, the better and more versatile the item is. Avoid items on Bottom Left if possible.

Strength (y-axis) is based on how effective an item is in the situations where it is most used.  Items that are strong at all stages of the game are listed higher.

Versatility (x-axis) is based on both the number of Compositions an item fits in and Champions an item is used on.  Versatility is also how often you could build an item.

Methodology

Even though I was Challenger in Set 1 and Grandmaster in Set 2, I know there are many players better than me.  This is why I scout the Top 10 players in all major regions and analyze what they play and how they play each TFT build to make this Tier List.  Tiers are determined by what I think will get you the highest average rank.  This means that while one composition might be super strong late game, it may be difficult to acquire, so it may not be S-Tier.  For example, it is difficult to win with certain compositions, but extremely easy to Top 4.  Rankings within a tier are very close together.  Always try to play with what makes sense for every game, and adapt to your lobbies with proper tech choices.

DifficultyItem Dependency, and Variance are listed.  Difficulty is how hard the composition is to play.  Difficulty does not factor into the strength or viability of the composition but serves as a factor for new players.  Item dependency is how important specific items are to the composition.  Variance is the approximate placement range of the composition.  For example, a consistent Top 4 composition has Low variance.  A composition that either places 1st or 8th has a High variance. If I mention that a composition is Forcible, it means that you can play this comp every game.

Knowing how to get better at TFT is much more important than knowing what compositions to play. Knowing how to play Teamfight Tactics will help you no matter what patch it is.

Tier placement assumes strong play.  Refer to Difficulty metric before attempting to play.

  1. Neva thought Leblanc Build would work until I started winning every game – I played the comp!
    Do try it folks! – real fun ^_^
    Once again thanks, Bud 😀
    Pretty excited to start this set with ya.

    • Okay, it is not fun to go against a 3 star Leblanc -_-

  2. I’ve been just forcing Redeemed Vel. Has been netting me top 2 for 6 games now. But I believe its more that lux is kinda busted. especially if you pair her with a shojin.

    • yeah lux is good. also redeemed is just a really good trait

    • I was forcing comps initially but I kinda got the hang of all comps – Now I jus play flexible.
      It’s more fun playing different comps each game ^_^

      • Bud, what do you feel about this set?
        Do you think we gota be more flexbile like the previous set?
        Or we could get away forcing comps?
