How to Play:
Play as many Chem-Barons early game as possible and force a lose streak. This involves things like trapping your melee units in your backline and frontlining your ranged units–do whatever you can to ensure that you lose. At 500+ stacks, cash out and get a Tier 3 Chem-Baron item. These items have a ~1.5 Average Placement. You will then play a board similar to the one above, but there are many many variations. All you need is 3 Chem-Baron–you do not need more than that, so that’s why you should only play Silco, Renni, Sevika since they are the strongest ones.

If you got griefed (someone purposely lost to you) have no fear, you can still do well with a 400 cashout. Obviously more difficult, but it’s playable, so don’t give up!

Item Holder:
Best Emblem/Spatula Holder:
Anomaly: Vi or Ekko whoever has more items and is 2* and traits active

How to Play: Explorer
This augment only shows up on Stage 4-2, so just play whatever before then and don’t really plan around this. If you have Pit Fighters, Rebels, Enforcers, or Ambushers you can use, then you can easily pivot into this comp.

If you took Into the Night or any item augment that matches one of Vi or Ekko’s then it helps a lot, such as the Crownguard or Sterak’s Augment. This comp can use a lot of items due to playing 2 carries and legendaries, so having lots of item augments is good.

Items:

• Ekko: Edge of Night, Jeweled Gauntlet, Hand of Justice
  • Crownguard, Rabadon’s Deathcap, Hextech Gunblade, Bloodthirster
• Vi: Bloodthirster, Edge of Night, Titan’s
  • Quicksilver, Infinity Edge, Hand of Justice,

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.
