Meta Snapshot Summary
There are too many playable compositions. Essentially you can do anything and many compositions can use several different leveling patterns as well. Flexibility is key. I don’t really think there is even an S tier this patch because everything can beat everything–just depends on when you power spike.

Go 6 Vanguard 2 Mystic or 4 Vanguard 4 Mystic depending on opponents.
Slow roll at 7 if you have a lot of Neeko and Nautilus for 3*. If not, go 9.
Items for Neeko: I feel like Guardian Angel is super super strong because her ultimate takes so long to cast. Jeweled Gauntlet is probably the best item. Gunblade or offensive item is best for 3rd item.

Spirit Sharpshooter

Difficulty: High
Item Dependency: High
Variance: Medium
Chosen: Sharpshooter, Spirit. If you have Sharpshooter Chosen, take out Nidalee. If you have Spirit Chosen, take out Kindred
Requirements:
- Lots of Tristanas and preferably lots of Dianas too
- At least 1 Locket since you do not run tanks
- Quicksilver on Tristana + 2 damage items. Last Whisper vs Vanguards, Hand of Justice vs other (can use other AD/AS items too)
Item Holder: N/A
How to Play:
Slow Roll for Tristana and Diana and maybe Teemo later.
You need to know when to ‘give up’ on certain 3 stars. For example, sometimes you can run Sivir carry instead of Tristana if you can’t get Trist 3. Sometimes you put lockets on Teemo instead of Diana if you don’t have Diana 3.
At later levels, add Mystic or random tanks or 6 Sharpshooters.

TFT Items
Carousel Item Priority
High Priority >>>> Low Priority
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.
Difficulty, Item 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.
