TFT Comps Tier List Set 9
S Tier: Best TFT Comps – Highly Flexible or Very Strong
Gunners
Gunners are strong at all points of the game, so it makes sense that it is the top performing comp due to its simplicity and strength.
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
- Good Frontline
Item Holder: Jhin, Tristana, Ashe
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Urgot, Ekko, Legendaries
Best Legends: Twisted Fate, Bard
How to Play:
This comp is the other flexible AD comp, and usually is a result of having an early Gunner start, whether it be through units or augments or both. Zeke’s Herald is a good item in this comp because it stacks AD quicker, but make sure you have a good frontline to buy time for your Gunners to scale. Once again, early game item holders are Jhin, Tristana and Ashe as far as 1 and 2 cost units go, and make sure to play around whatever upgraded frontline you can get until you get to Sej/Shen.
Late game you typically play 4 Gunner + tanks.
Items:
- Zeri items: Giant Slayer, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker, Guinsoo’s Rageblade
- Jayce items: Thief’s Gloves, Zeke’s Herald
- Senna items: Rageblade, Giant Slayer, AD items
Core:
- 4 Gunner
Augments:
Dueling Gunners, Teaming Up, Cybernetic Leech, You Have My Sword, Harmacist, Pandora’s Items, Red Buff
Counters
Deadeye
Another top comp, if you can hit your 2* 4 cost units, you will be very strong!
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
- AD items for Aphelios
Item Holder: Jhin, Tristana, Ashe
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Anyone
Best Legends: Twisted Fate, Poro,
How to Play:
Aphelios seems to be one of, if not, the most reliable AD flex comps right now. Since general flex play oftentimes results in a 2* 4 cost carry, Aphelios is very popular for those who pursue an AD line. Look for good early game AD item holders like Jhin, Tristana and Ashe and play flexibly around what frontline upgrades you have, whether it be Bruiser, Bastion, Demacia, etc.
Late game you can play the standard board shown above but sometimes you will find more useful upgrades than 4 Deadeye, or important 5 cost units, but the core of this comp is Aphelios, Sejuani, Shen and Urgot.
Items:
- Aphelios items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker
- Urgot items: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Tank items
- Tank items on Sej and Shen
Core:
- 2/4 Deadeye, 3 Freljord
Augments:
Teaming Up, You Have My Sword, You Have My Bow, Harmacist, Level Up, Red Buff, Healing Orbs, Pandora’s Items,
Counters
Yasuo Ionia
If you can get this comp online, it is very very powerful! Yasuo is a bit underrated in the context of this comp.
Last Week’s Rank:
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
- Yasuo items, Secondary carry
Item Holder: Warwick, Zed
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Aphelios, Kai’Sa
Best Legends: Vladimir
How to Play: Generally to play this comp you typically transition from a partial Ionia start into a full Ionia board or from Challengers. Since your carries and your most important units are 4 costs, it’s important to play a strong early game, build economy and then get your endgame board online either at level 7 or 8. Yasuo needs a lot of bruiser items as he tends to die quite often, so often you want Bloodthirster + Titan’s Resolve and/or Edge of Night.
You should look for a secondary carry, so if you have leftover Attack Speed AD items look to slot in Aphelios, whereas if you have more AP centered items look to slot in Kai’Sa or Lux.
Items:
- Yasuo items: Bloodthirster, Edge of Night, Titan’s Resolve, Hand of Justice, Giant Slayer, Infinity Edge, Deathblade
- Aphelios items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker
- Kai’Sa items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Hextech Gunblade, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Gauntlet, Statikk Shiv, Archangel’s Staff, Guardbreaker, Morellonomicon
- Tank items on Shen
Core:
- 6 Ionia
Augments: Ionia Crown, Level Up, Jeweled Lotus, Sentinel Spirit, Gifts from the Fallen, Long Distance Pals, Unified Resistance, Battle Ready, Cybernetic Leech
Counters
Yordle Reroll
This is a very underrated comp, so if you have the spot to play it, look to play it!
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: 1 Cost Reroll
Requirements:
- Lots of 3* units
Item Holder: Tristana
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Anyone
Best Legends: Lee Sin
How to Play: Since Yordles is a 1/2 cost reroll comp, it is almost always recommended to slowroll at level 5 above 50 gold for your 3* units. However, it is very dependent on how many 1 cost units you have. The highest priority 3* units are Maokai, Poppy and Tristana, so if you get those to 3* early while not being close to 3 starring your other units, it’s best to push levels to find Heimerdinger.
Items:
- Tristana items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker
- Teemo items: Blue Buff, AP items
- Tank items on Maokai + Poppy
Core:
- 3 Yordle 4 Gunner
Augments:
Golden Ticket, Radiant Relics, Think Fast, Social Distancing, Long Distance Partners, Morning Light, Healing Orbs, On a Roll, Harmacist
Counters
Void Kai’Sa
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
- Kai’Sa items
Item Holder: Malzahar
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Legendary/Anyone
Best Legends: Urf
How to Play: Void seems to be a rather simple comp that relies on getting a Void start early game. If you get an early 2* Cho’Gath and/or Malzahar and can get a +1 Void augment, then all you need to do is just go for 3 and then 6 Void ASAP. The entire premise of this comp is to get to Kai’Sa with a decent amount of HP, then scale into 6 or even 8 Void lategame with upgraded high cost units like Bel’Veth, Sion, Kai’Sa and Sejuani.
Items:
- Kai’Sa items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Hextech Gunblade, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Gauntlet, Statikk Shiv, Archangel’s Staff, Guardbreaker, Morellonomicon
- Bel’Veth items: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Last Whisper, Infinity Edge, Deathblade, Giant slayer
- Tank items on rest
Core:
- 6 Void
Augments: Void augments

Garen Reroll
This comp is very simple, once you get 3* Garen it’s basically Spin to Win! (for top 3).
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: 3 Cost Reroll
Requirements:
Item Holder: Garen
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Jarvan > Sona
Best Legends: Poro, Master Yi,
How to Play:
Since this is a 3 cost reroll comp, ideally you try to level to 7 and slowroll for 3*. However, to get there, try to play strongest board and/or build your economy through interest thresholds so that you can set yourself up for success. Sometimes, if your board is weak during stage 3, it’s important to roll and stabilize for 4 Juggernaut 3 Demacia at level 6.
Sona is a good Morellonomicon applier, and is good to 3* to also serve as utility for your Garen. It is ideal to start winstreaking stage 3 to set yourself economically at level 7!
Then, when you level to level 8 or 9, depending on your HP and econ, look for Aatrox and put in 6 Juggernauts.
Items:
- Garen items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Bloodthirster, Quicksilver, Titan’s Resolve, Hand of Justice
- Darius items, Thief’s Gloves, Zeke’s Herald
- Sona items: Morellonomicon, Spear of Shojin, AP items
- Nasus items: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Tank items
- Tank items on Jarvan
Core:
- 4/6 Juggernaut, 3 Demacia
Augments:
March of Progress, Pumping Up, Golden Ticket, You Have My Sword, Petricite Shackles, Adrenaline Rush, Pandora’s Items, Cybernetic Leech, Battle Ready
Counters
Challengers
Challengers are good, but they have a lower peak compared to other top comps, and require a bit of a strong early game to justify playing it; has similar issues to Duelists of Set 8 but this one’s early/mid game is not as oppressive.
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
Item Holder: Samira, Tristana, Warwick
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends: Poro, Vlad
How to Play: Much like Duelists of Set 8, Challengers is a high tempo comp. It is important to establish a strong early game as you may not be able to beat out top comps that have infinite stall. However, if you can upgrade your carries early and can push a winstreak, this comp can do very well, especially if you have items for both Yasuo and Kai’Sa. Locket of the Iron Solari is very good in this comp because of its heavy emphasis on damage and lack of survivability.
Items:
- Kai’Sa items: Giant Slayer, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Archangel Staff, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Guantlet, Guardbreaker, Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice
- Yasuo items: Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Giant Slayer, Hand of Justice, Infinite Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker
- Locket of Iron Solari/Tank items on Shen
Core:
- 6 Challenger
Augments:

Demacia
This comp used to be really good until the Demacia nerfs.
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern:
Requirements:
Item Holder:
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends:
How to Play: Much like Void, Demacia comp is easier to play with a Demacia opener. Otherwise, you might have to be a bit more creative with your early game to pivot into it later .Early game, you can use a 2* 1 cost AP champion like Cassiopeia or Malzahar to carry lux items. Midgame you can then use Sona to carry these items with 5 Demacia until you find Lux. Any Bruiser/AD items can just go on Jarvan IV. Lategame, look to add in useful 5 cost units like Heimerdinger, Aatrox, Ryze and Ahri. If you reach level 9, look to drop Kayle and Sona for 5 Demacia to add in some of these units.
Items:
- Lux items: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Giant Slayer, Hextech Gunblade, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Gauntlet, Statikk Shiv, Archangel’s Staff, Guardbreaker, Morellonomicon
- Jarvan items: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Tank items
- Tank items on Shen
Core:
- 5/7 Demacia

B Tier: Playable, but not Preferred. These comps could be strong if uncontested.
Kalista Reroll
This comp is really good if you highroll; however, it may not be the most consistent comp as it relies on you stabilizing early. Hard to survive Stage 4 without a lucky mid-game.
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: 3 Cost Reroll
Requirements:
- 3* Kalista
Item Holder: Kayle, Samira,
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Ekko, Shen, K’sante, Irelia
Best Legends:
How to Play:
If you have attack speed items and/or an early Kalista 2*, you can look to play this comp as it performs rather well. Being a mostly 3 cost reroll comp with useful 4 costs sprinkled in (Gwen, Yasuo), it is ideal to reroll for your units at level 7. If your tempo is very strong and you’re winstreaking, you can look to reroll at level 8 instead to have the chance to hit Senna and Aatrox.
Items:
- Kalista items: Giant Slayer, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice, Guardbreaker
- Gwen items: AP items, Blue Buff
- Aatrox items: Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Tank
- Yasuo items: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Hand of Justice
Core:
- 4 Shadow Isle 4 Challengers
Augments:
Shadow Isles Crown, Healing Orbs I, Cybernetic Leech, March of Progress, Golden Ticket, Social Distancing, Unified Resistance
Counters
Karma Reroll
If you hit your units early, this comp can be really strong, but it’s hard to survive Stage 4 without 3* units.
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: 3 Cost Reroll
Requirements:
- 3* Karma
Item Holder: Cassiopeia
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder: Ahri, Legendaries
Best Legends:
How to Play:
Since this is primarily a 3 cost reroll comp, our main objective is to go to level 7 either healthy and/or with good economy. Because we want 3* Karma, 3* Lissandra and ideally 3* Taric, we will need a lot of resources to help us hit our units.
Use Cassiopeia early game as your Karma item holder, and play flexibly around frontline/utilty units. You can play around Brawlers, Bastions, or whatever else early game and then pivot into the final board that you see above. 3* units are very important, so try to hit those before pushing level 8.
Items:
- Karma items: Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice, Archangel Staff, Giant Slayer, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Guantlet,
- Lissandra items: Morellonomicon, Archangel Staff, Spear of Shojin, Thief’s Gloves
- Tank items on Taric, Shen, Galio
Core:
- 6 Invoker
Augments: Golden Ticket, March of Progress, Social Distancing, Loving Invocation, Magic Wand, Trade Sector, Pandora’s Items, Unified Resistance, Rolling for Days
Counters
Noxus Reroll
This comp is very strong if you hit early, but it’s hard to stabilize in the lategame before you hit your 3* units.
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern:
Requirements:
- Early Noxus upgrades
Item Holder:
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends:
How to Play: Noxus is a bit more reliant on having a strong Noxus opener because of the importance of securing stacks. If you can get stacks early it snowballs your game into a spot where you winstreak, gain a lot of econ and have a lot of safety rolling for your 3* Darius and Katarina. What’s nice about this comp is that you can split your AP and AD items amongst your duo carry, and the only real dependence this comp has is to play off of a Noxus opener. When you hit your 3* units, look to put in useful 5 costs such as Aatrox and Ryze if his variant is good.
Items:
- Katarina items: Giant Slayer, Hextech Gunblade, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Gauntlet, Guardbreaker,
- Darius items: Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Giant Slayer, Deathblade, Infinity Edge
- Tank items on Sion
Core:
- 6 Noxus
Augments:
Counters
Shurima
Shurima used to be very good, but it requires a bit of highrolling nowadays.
Difficulty: Medium
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern: Standard
Requirements:
Item Holder: Cassiopeia, Kayle, Teemo, Taliyah
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends:
How to Play:
With Azir as an AP + Attack Speed based carry, you can flex between Shurima and Kai’Sa Void comps since their items are very similar. If you have a heavy Shurima start or you get an early Azir, you can look to pivot or commit to Shurima. Since it is a vertical (high # Synergy) comp, it is simple to play, just make sure you as many Shurima as you can. Make sure to play strongest board until you can reach your 5/7 Shurima.
Items:
- Azir: Giant Slayer, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Archangel Staff, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Guantlet, Guardbreaker, Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice
- Nasus: Thief’s Gloves, Titan’s Resolve, Bloodthirster, Tank items
- Tank items on Shen
Core:
- 5/7 Shurima (7 preferred)
Augments:

Rogue Reroll
Rogues used to be very strong in PBE, but now they are kind of average in terms of strength.
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern:
Requirements:
- 3* Zed and Katarina
Item Holder:
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends:
How to Play:
Even though Rogue did get a bit of a nerf early on in PBE, it is decently strong due to the snowball nature of these units. If you’re in a rough spot early game, look to roll at level 6 to hit your upgrades, but since Katarina and Ekko are both 3 costs, it would make sense to slowroll above 50g for your 3* units, however that situation is only allowed if you are highrolling.
Items:
- Katarina items: Giant Slayer, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Jeweled Guantlet, Guardbreaker, Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice, Archangel Staff
- Zed items: Bloodthirster, Giant Slayer, Hand of Justice, Infinite Edge, Deathblade, Guardbreaker, Last Whisper, Titan’s Resolve
- Ekko items: Thief’s Gloves, AP items
- Locket of Iron Solari/Tank items on Kled
Core:
- 4 Rogue
Augments:
Golden Ticket, On a Roll, Think Fast, Cybernetic Leech, Gifts From Above, Radiant Relics
Counters
Rank up with a Challenger TFT Coach
C Tier and Below: These are compositions that are weak, but if they are given to you, you might be forced to play them.
Teemo Reroll
Teemo is cute but this comp needs a lot to get going.
Difficulty: Low
Item/Augment Dependence: Medium
Variance: Medium
Leveling Pattern:
Requirements:
- 3* Teemo and Swain
Item Holder:
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Best Legends:
How to Play: Since this is primarily a 2 cost reroll comp, we should look to 3* our units at level 6 for the best odds. This means that we will build our economy until we hit level 6 and then roll down for 2* units to stabilzie our board, Look to put in 4 Multicaster after hitting your yordles.
Items:
- Teemo items: Blue Buff, Giant Slayer, Hextech Gunblade, Hand of Justice, Guardbreaker, Archangel Staff, Jeweled Gauntlet
- Sona items: Chalice of Power, Morellonomicon
- Velkoz items: Statikk Shiv, AP items
- Swain items: Tank items
Core:
- 4 Multicaster, 3 Yordles

Legend Tier List
S: Poro, Vladimir, Twisted Fate,
A: Ornn, Pengu, Urf,
B: Veigar, Lee Sin, Caitlyn, Master Yi, Aurelion Sol, Draven,
C: Ezreal, Bard, Tahm Kench,
All legends work, and the difference between the tiers is VERY LOW because you can just reroll the augment. Different legends fit different players as well.
FAQ
- How are compositions ranked?
- There are many factors, but the two strongest ones are how often they can be played and how strong they are when you get it. Think of it like frequency of being played combined with how well it can potentially do.
- I also rank them based on how often the best players in the world play each comp (top 10 players in major regions)
- Why isn’t XYZ Comp here?
- Probably not played enough, not strong enough, or maybe it hasn’t been discovered yet and will hopefully be added next week.
- It’s also impossible to fit every single variation of every composition on a tier list, so expect variations of these comps to do well too.
- I also add in different versions of different comps in the notes, so be sure to read through them! (For example, one synergy might have two different playstyles such as reroll or standard)
- [Legendary Unit] carry is the best in the game, where is it?
- It is not reliable to have a 5 cost carry as a composition because you will not be able to get a 2* Legendary consistently. There may be metas where there are ‘Fast 9’ comps, but these often use any legendary they can get instead of a specific one.
- What does Difficulty, Item Dependency, and Variance mean?
- 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.
- Does what composition I play matter?
- No. Playing TFT well matters a lot more
- I can’t get these exact items every game
- You don’t need perfect items or exact items unless specified in the Requirements section. Most of the time you just need ‘playable’ items and not ‘best in slot’ (BIS)
- You are wrong, XYZ comp should be in S tier and ABC player said this S tier comp sucks
- Everyone has different opinions. I try to take a data based approach by analyzing games from the best players in each region to combine all their opinions.
- At the end of the day, comp doesn’t matter much compared to just playing TFT well (rolling, managing econ, positioning, etc). If you check out the best players, you will see that each player favors different compositions yet they are all very highly ranked.
- When is this site updated?
- Every Friday
- Where can I learn more?
- There are many resources and players to learn from. I suggest starting at my YouTube channel and this website.
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.
