MillioSecondary CarryBlue Buff, Statikk ShivPaired with World Focus
PantheonMain TankGargoyle Stoneplate, Warmog's ArmorDragon's Claw
JaxMain TankPlate Armor, RedemptionIonic Spark

Strategy

This is a reroll system focused on Lulu and Millio (Dingzhen) as dual carries. Early game, transition with low-cost units. Mid-game, slow roll for 3-star core units. Late game, level up and roll for high-cost units to complete the comp. This strategy emphasizes economic management and rolling rhythm, aiming to secure wins through the power of specific 3-star champions. At 5 population, use 2 Fated for transition. At 6 population, assemble 3 Stargazers and maintain 20 gold interest. Roll for 3-star Millio, Jax or Pantheon. Once you hit 3-star, level up. At 7 population, assemble 2 Brawlers and maintain 20 gold interest. Roll for 3-star Lulu. At 8 population, add 1 Savior. If Pantheon is 3-star, he becomes the main tank. At 9 population, start rolling to get all high-cost units in the system to 2-star for peak strength.

Core Items

HeroRoleRecommended ItemsAlternative Items
VeigarMain CarryNashor's Tooth, Jeweled Gauntlet, Rabadon's Deathcap
RammusMain TankPlate Armor, Dragon's Claw, Spirit Visage

Strategy

This comp relies on the Sylvan trait's duplication ability to easily obtain 3-star Veigar at higher levels, allowing Veigar to continuously cast skills for high damage. The goal is to achieve high power once Veigar is 3-star in the late game, giving the comp a very high ceiling. Economy management can involve winning or losing streaks to accumulate gold, preparing for rapid leveling later. After leveling up, use the 7 Sylvan duplication trait to quickly chase 3-star Veigar. Prioritize completing Veigar's core AP items. The late-game ceiling is achieved after 3-star Veigar and 2-star Rammus, then downgrade 7 Sylvan to 5 Sylvan to make space for more high-cost units. Aim to reach 9 population as soon as possible to find 2-star 5-cost Bard as a reliable secondary carry.

Strategy

TFT Set 17 [Stargazer] 17.2 Version's newly popular T0 comp, balancing tankiness, burst, and sustained damage. It relies on 4 Brawlers for high overall tankiness, paired with 4 Berserker Master Yi for instant burst, supplemented by Kindred for stable sustained damage, creating a balanced offense and defense with no obvious weaknesses. It has a low operational threshold, avoids contested units, and is highly adaptable. In the early game, use 3 Sea Marauders or physical item holders at 4 population for a stable transition, prioritizing saving up components for Master Yi's core items. At 7 population, prioritize activating 4 Brawlers with relevant units to stabilize HP. If you find Master Yi, prioritize completing the 4 Berserker trait. Don't roll throughout the game; focus on steadily leveling up. At 8 population, roll lightly for 2-star core units. If economy allows, go to 9 population and add Morgana or Jhin to strengthen the comp.

Strategy

The strongest 95 comp in Set 17.2a, "Savior Closed-Loop Dual Carry 95," uses Jhin and Vex as dual cores to build a 95 system, offering flexible choices and more options. The Savior trait provides a significant 17.5% attribute bonus in the late game, making the overall strength a qualitative leap. The operational rhythm is formulaic, with high forgiveness for mid-game transitions, allowing for easy completion by steadily leveling up. At 4 population, prioritize 2 Juggernaut + 2 Judge for a stable transition. If you have many AP items, prioritize building Vex's items. If you have many AD items, prioritize building Jhin's core items. At 7 population, don't roll; rely on system units + generic traits to stabilize HP. At 8 population, focus on finding 2-star Rammus to stabilize the frontline tankiness. If you can find Vex and Jhin, you can secure wins directly. At 9 population, complete all system traits and 2-star all units for a fully perfected comp.

NunuMain TankFrozen Heart, Sunfire Cape, Protector's VowWarmog's Armor, Spirit Visage

Strategy

"Celestial Shadow Fiend Zed" is a powerful black-tech comp in Set 17.2a based on an exclusive augment. If you get the exclusive augment "Celestial Shadow Fiend: Zed" at the start, you can secure a first place. Zed's shadow clones can infinitely replicate the original. As long as at least one shadow clone remains alive on the board, you gain an additional 40% physical damage bonus, leading to a qualitative leap in output strength. The operational rhythm is simple and formulaic, with a stable transition and high forgiveness. The completed comp is extremely strong. At 4 population, prioritize activating 3 Sea Marauders trait for a stable transition. You can use 3-cost system units like Vex as temporary placeholders. Prioritize grabbing components for Guinsoo's Rageblade early on. At 7 population, there's no need to blindly roll; wait for the second Hextech augment to reveal "Celestial Shadow Fiend: Zed". At 8 population, officially add Zed and also roll for 2-star Nunu to complete the system. At 9 population, complete all core units in the system and 2-star all units for a fully perfected comp.

Strategy

Centered around Nasus, this comp achieves infinite scaling through exclusive runes, leading to explosive damage in the late game, potentially reaching tens of thousands of damage per hit. Early on, use 2-star Nasus for a strong transition, prioritizing building his three core items and front-line tank items. In terms of economy management, avoid other units interfering with Nasus's stacking. Before level 6, roll heavily for 3-star Nasus. If you have few copies, you can stay at level 5 to chase 3-star. Once you hit 3-star, you can level up. If you have many Teemo copies, you can also chase 3-star Teemo as a secondary carry. The main goal is to chase 3-star Nasus, Leona, and Teemo before level 6. In the late game, level up to activate higher Juggernaut traits. Give mana-regen frontline items to Nunu to position against enemies, and adjust Nunu and Willump's positions based on opponent's board.

NunuSecondary TankCrownguard, Frozen Heart, Protector's VowTraditional Tank Items

Strategy

This comp primarily revolves around Teemo and other 1-cost units to form 6 Juggernauts, ultimately completing at 9 population. It forms quickly, with the core being 1-cost Teemo, 1-cost Leona and other low-cost units to chase 3-star. The early game transition is smooth, and the mid-game has strong HP stabilization once 3-star Teemo is complete. Start playing if you get good starting units or Guinsoo's Rageblade components. Use system units like Teemo, Leona, Nasus, Lissandra, and Mordekaiser as temporary placeholders. Don't level up proactively in the early game. Then, at 4 population, roll heavily (around 30 gold remaining) to get Teemo, Leona, and Lissandra to 2-star. Prioritize building Teemo's core offensive items. Once Teemo and Leona are 3-star, you can level up. At 7 population, add Zoe and Illaoi to activate 3 Shepherd + 4 Juggernaut + 2 Oracle + 2 Judge traits. At 8 population, prioritize adding Nami for 3 Space Groove to stabilize combat power. If you have a significant advantage later, go to 9 population and add Nunu and Blitzcrank for increased quality.

Strategy

This comp uses Leona as the main tank, forming a solid frontline with strong Juggernaut and Judge traits. LeBlanc acts as the main carry, dealing damage, while runes and items maximize Leona's tankiness and crowd control, aiming to dive the backline and eliminate enemy carries. At level 5, use Leona, Nasus, Mordekaiser, Zoe, Illaoi to quickly activate Juggernaut and Judge traits. Prioritize building Leona's tank items, such as Sunfire Cape. Quickly level up low-cost units to 2-star to stabilize HP and maintain a healthy economy. At level 7, add Tiny Sylvan, LeBlanc, Nunu to complete 3 Judge and 3 Shepherd traits, significantly boosting sustain and damage. When economy allows, level up quickly to search for key heroes. Allocate offensive items to LeBlanc. At level 8, add Karma to max out trait effects. Observe enemy positioning and adjust Leona's charge direction and LeBlanc's output position.

Strategy

This is the only comp in Set 17 that allows for a losing streak to build economy and then directly roll for 3-star 4-cost units at 8 population without extensive management, making it easy to climb ranks. Mech units have high base stats and save economy, making losing streaks ideal for HP preservation. Early game, use 2 Future Fighter + Sea Marauders for a losing streak to accumulate rerolls and economy. Around 3-5, level to 7 and roll lightly for quality, adding Urgot and Maokai for 4 Brawler trait. Around 4-1, level to 8 and start rolling, aiming for Aurelion Sol, Galio, and Master Yi, ensuring 3-item sets for main carry Aurelion Sol and main tank Galio. If Master Yi isn't 3-star, Fiora can be a replacement. Viktor can be replaced by Bard.

NunuMain TankProtector's Vow, Iceborn Gauntlet, Warmog's ArmorSpirit Visage, Heartsteel, Dragon's Claw

Strategy

The strongest Spatula item in Set 17 is Space Groove, and Riven is its best fit. Riven has a low mana cost, allowing her to frequently trigger the Space Groove trait effect. Combined with Riven's inherent mixed damage and the 5 Space Groove's dual attack bonus, it's a perfect match, easily dicing through enemy backlines upon entry. Early game, if you have a Spatula or Space Groove Emblem, you can use 3 Space Groove with Juggernauts for transition. Gwen can hold Riven's items, and tank items go to Mordekaiser. Alternatively, use the classic formulaic transition of 3 Sea Marauders + 2 Future Fighter. Around 3-5, level to 7. Prioritize activating 5 Space Groove + 3 Shepherd + 2 Juggernaut for transition. Around 4-2, level directly to 8. Prioritize finding Tahm Kench and Nunu, two core units. If you get the Space Groove Spatula, immediately give it to Riven. Then slowly roll to get Riven, Nami, Nunu, or Tahm Kench all to 2-star. Once board quality is stable, stop rolling and save gold. After reaching 9 population, add Shen, replace Nasus with Blitzcrank, and roll him to 2-star.

Strategy

The core of this comp relies on Samira's passive ability: whenever an enemy is knocked up or airborne, she immediately triggers a sweeping auto-attack. Through Blitzcrank's hook knock-up, Nunu's snowball knock-up, and Ornn's charge knock-up, a chain of crowd control is formed, allowing Samira to continuously sweep. This is paired with 5 Nova Operatives and 3 Stargazer for rapid mana regeneration. Early game, use Nova Operatives with Future Fighter to activate two Brawler for transition, saving gold to quickly reach level seven. At level seven, slow roll for 3-star Samira. At level eight, add Kindred for five Agent trait, then add Xayah for two Sniper to stabilize and then push to nine. At level nine, find Jhin, replace Xayah, and once all units are 2-star, you can go all-in to level ten, adding Blitzcrank for three Groove.

Strategy

This comp is a patchwork comp consisting of 3 Stargazers. It uses the Stargazer Emblem to chase multiple 3-star units for high damage amplification. Miss Fortune and Twisted Fate deal high single-target damage, making it an incredibly strong low-cost reroll comp. Early on, only keep core system units: Caitlyn, Twisted Fate, Jax, Aatrox, Talon. Don't unnecessarily add extra units. Don't rush to level up at the start; save gold steadily. At 4 population, roll a little to get 1-cost units to 2-star and stabilize HP. At 5 population, slow roll with interest, prioritizing 3-star Caitlyn and Twisted Fate. After 6 population, focus on chasing 3-star Jax. You don't need to specifically force Aatrox and Talon; if you find many copies, you can chase them too. At 7 population (around 5-1), you can add 2 Future Fighter (Pantheon/ Riven, Millio) or Kayn. Recommended Deities: Varus provides Mini Neeko and Micro Duplicator, making it easier to chase 3-stars. Yasuo provides Hextech slots, such as attack speed, healing, and mana regen. Kayle provides items. Ekko can turn monsters into scuttle crabs, providing more items.

Strategy

This comp centers around Stargazer Thief Lulu, using Lulu's "Gold Rain" ability to generate infinite gold, overwhelming opponents economically. In the late game, it can easily chase multiple 3-star 5-cost heroes. Early on, use 2 Future Fighter paired with 2 Fortress for a 2 Fated transition, prioritizing building Lulu's Guinsoo's Rageblade and Spear of Shojin. Level to 6 at 3-2, save gold to level 7. At level 7, slow roll with interest for 3-star Lulu. It's best to chase 3-4 3-star units overall in the comp. After hitting 3-star Lulu, use her gold income to quickly level to 8, adding Jax for 3 Stargazer. At nine, add 5-cost units like Sona.

Use Leona, Nasus, Mordekaiser, Illaoi to activate the Juggernaut trait. Illaoi combined with the Juggernaut trait is extremely stable, allowing for easy winning streaks.

After the hotfix, the probability of sniping 3-star 4-costs has decreased, making this the highest win rate comp currently, a top choice if your economy is good. It revolves around Aatrox and Akali of the Nova trait. Aatrox provides armor shred for all, and Akali grants critical strike chance to all, greatly boosting the output of 5-cost units like Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The standard comp completes at 9 population, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, Graves, forming multiple traits. Early on, prioritize 3 Sea Marauders with fighter items or Great V with attack speed items for transition. Depending on economy, HP, and contested units, choose to level to 9 at 4-2/4-5/4-7 for a big roll. If HP is around 50, roll for main tank + two 2-star carries, then push to 10.

This comp, paired with Tahm Kench's solo trait effect, makes it easy to snipe 3-star 4-cost units. Early on, use 2 Future / 3 Phantom / 3 Sea Marauders for transition, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, level to 8 for a big roll. Based on the units you find, assemble the recommended comp, remembering to transform all Mech units. Once Aurelion Sol and Galio are 2-star, save gold and decide whether to level to 9 or chase 3-star based on other players.

Strategy

This comp is extremely demanding in Set 17.1B. It requires Ekko's Artifact + the Judge effect that restores mana on 10 damage dealt to allow Zoe to cast infinitely. At level 6, first form a system of 4 Juggernauts + Zoe + Lissandra, then focus on rolling to chase 3-star Zoe and 3-star Leona / Mordekaiser. Afterward, level up further to find Karma or LeBlanc as secondary carries to further boost the comp's damage output.

Strategy

In Set 17, "EZ Cho'Gath" represents infinite scaling, a reroll comp that maximizes frontline durability and late-game scaling. The core is driven by dual carries: Future Fighter Ezreal and Brawler Cho'Gath. The comp primarily revolves around 2 1-cost units to build 4 Future Fighter + 2 Dark Star + 4 Brawler, forming the final comp at nine population. It's recommended to play this comp only if you find many Ezreal and Cho'Gath copies at the start. Early game, transition directly with system units without leveling up; you can use a Future Fighter losing streak to accumulate rerolls. After fighting monsters, roll heavily at 4 population for system units. Around 4-3, level to 7 to find Gragas and Maokai to activate 4 Brawler trait. At the latest by 5-3, level to 8 to find Tahm Kench, Xayah, and Riven.

Strategy

In TFT Set 17, the current meta sees various Thief comps thriving. This comp revolves around multiple 4-cost units, forming an incredibly strong patchwork Thief comp. Its core strength lies in leveraging the 5 Shepherd trait's AP bonus, Nami's high-frequency AoE damage, combined with multiple crowd controls. Play if you have many AP items or an economy augment at the start. Transition methods: 2 Juggernaut + 3 Shepherd + 2 Dark Star, with Teemo holding items; or 2 Future Fighter + 3 Sea Marauders, with Millio holding items. Around 3-5, level to 7 and add Illaoi and Leona to activate 4 Juggernaut. Around 4-2, level to 8 and start rolling, finding the 5 core 4-cost units, prioritizing activating 5 Shepherd.

Strategy

This comp cleverly combines the tankiness of Juggernauts with the sustain of Space Groove. The strategy is clear: stabilize HP early, power spike mid-game. Once Teemo gets ideal items and is 3-star, paired with the dual resistance of 6 Juggernauts, almost no comp can withstand this onslaught. Early game at level 5, use Leona, Nasus, Teemo, Mordekaiser, Illaoi, forming Juggernaut and Shepherd traits. At level 7, add Lissandra, Zoe to activate 2 Judge and 2 Dark Star. At level 9, add Nunu, Blitzcrank, completing 6 Juggernaut and 3 Space Groove.

Strategy

Although heavily nerfed before the Set 17 launch, this comp can still stabilize HP with suitable items. The core lies in the Nova Spatula. Activating 5 Nova and giving the Selector to an auxiliary unit grants high attack speed and dual resistances, as well as a team buff. When Fiora can be 2-star, you can dismantle Master Yi's items and give them to her.

This comp utilizes the Stargazer emblem mechanic in Set 17. This emblem provides a 12% damage bonus, which further increases with each 3-star unit. Combined with the Lucky Judgment effect of the 4 Fated trait, it achieves optimal and highest damage output. The comp emphasizes using low-cost Twisted Fate to be strong in the early game, even capable of beating 95 comps.

Strategy

Early game at level 5, use Gragas, Tiny Sylvan, Millio, Pantheon, Pyke to form Brawler and Future traits. These low-cost units are easy to find and stabilize HP for a smooth transition. All are 2-cost units, and the refresh rate is highest at level 5, making it very easy to get them to 2-star and ensure combat power. Mid-game at level 7, add Gwen, Riven. The stage before level 7 is the best time to roll for 2-cost units; try to get all essential units to 3-star. Later, at level 9, add Corki, Bard to complete all traits, with multiple traits providing strong late-game pressure.

Strategy

This comp uses Xayah as the core main carry, achieving both offense and defense through a unique trait combination. With 3-star Xayah, she gains powerful screen-clearing capabilities. Early game at level 5, use Aatrox, Caitlyn, Talon, Twisted Fate, Jax for transition. Prioritize building core items for Xayah and Nunu & Willump to stabilize HP. Mid-game at level 7, add Mordekaiser, Lulu to activate 3 Stargazer, 2 Dark Star, 2 Oracle, 2 Fortress Warden, boosting combat power. Late game, at level 9, complete core heroes like Xayah, Jhin, Bard, to ensure multi-core damage. Adjust positioning to counter different opponents, ensuring Xayah and Jhin have safe output positions.

Strategy

After the 6 Dark Star bug fix, it became a popular comp in competitive play because 2-star Kai'Sa is already powerful. Play it if you have a Dark Star Spatula or suitable items for a winning streak, or if you naturally find many Kai'Sa copies. There are two operational paths: chasing 3-star (Kai'Sa) at levels 7 or 8 (in a contested lobby, only if you have Mini Neeko). If 2-star is sufficient or HP is healthy, go directly to 8. Roll for frontline + 2-star Kai'Sa + Tahm Kench / 3 Future (Pantheon instead of Tahm Kench) to transition into Dark Star 95.

A perfect closed-loop of 12 traits, combined with Rhaast's Savior effect / Morgana's damage reduction, and Shen providing high attack speed to all allies, perfectly aligning with Jhin's full-screen AoE damage. It can almost steamroll all comps! Playable if you have a strong economy and can maintain a winning streak. Early game, use Sea Marauders / Future Fighter to expand traits for transition, prioritizing economy-boosting / leveling augments. Mid-game, use Miss Fortune / Samira / Xayah / Corki to form traits and maintain a winning streak. Around 4-5, level to nine, quickly roll for high-cost units within the system. All units at 2-star is enough for a first place.

Strategy

With Jax as the core carry, combined with the core augment [Stargazer's Will], he gains attack speed stacking with each spell cast, reaching infinite attack speed. Paired with high lifesteal items, he becomes increasingly stronger in combat, able to quickly defeat even tanky frontlines and remain at full HP after battles. The operation is relatively simple, with the core being obtaining the key augment, suitable for players who seek high burst and dueling capability. Using [Stargazer's Will] with Guinsoo's Rageblade and Bloodthirster, Jax can rapidly stack attack speed and maintain high lifesteal in combat, quickly eliminating even high-HP frontlines. Ensure Jax has enough survivability and output time for his attack speed to continuously stack, achieving the "gets faster as he fights" effect. The strength of this comp lies in Jax's extreme attack speed and lifesteal sustain, making him an unstoppable damage dealer. Once perfected, Jax can clear the board incredibly fast, even high-tankiness frontlines cannot stop him.

A T0 easy rank-up comp for Set 17, with maximum forgiveness and simple operation. [Twelve Trait Supreme 95] doesn't rely on luck or rerolling; the entire comp has no wasted traits. Early game, use Nova Operatives paired with Future Fighter to activate two Brawler for transition, prioritizing building core items for main carries and main tanks, and saving gold to quickly reach level seven. Level to 6 at 3-2, save gold to level 7. At level seven, slow roll for 3-star Samira. If you have many Maokai copies, you can chase 3-star them as well. Once 3-star, you can save gold to level eight. At level eight, add Kindred for five Agent trait, and add Xayah for two Sniper to float to level nine. At level nine, find Jhin, replace Xayah, and once all units are 2-star, you can go all-in to level ten, adding Blitzcrank for three Groove, completing the comp.

Strategy

A powerful 3-cost comp in Set 17, considered the strongest currently. The hotfix had minimal impact on Viktor, and PsyOps items remain strong. Playable conditions include having a Drone or Symbiotic Implants (2 PsyOps items) at the start. The standard comp is completed at 8 population, consisting of Lissandra, Mordekaiser, Tiny Sylvan, Pyke, Illaoi, Rhaast, Viktor, Nami, forming a multi-trait system. Viktor has a long cast time, so pure damage items are recommended. Illaoi is the main tank with pure tank items, and Nami is the secondary carry for supplemental damage and utility. Early game, you can transition with Zoe or Juggernaut Transition (paired with 2 Future). Around 3-5, level to 7 and roll for the basic comp and 2-star main carry and main tank. Normally, slow roll with interest for 3-star, then level up.

Strategy

In TFT Set 17, Nami casts very quickly, making this comp flexible and strong. If you have the Space Groove Spatula, you can prioritize the Space Groove system. If not, you can build around multiple traits. The frontline positions of Poppy and Rammus can be flexibly replaced with Blitzcrank + Nasus, LeBlanc + Sona, or choose two from Traveler / Rhaast / Morgana, facilitating the chase for 3-star 4-cost units in the late game. The comp centers on Nami as the core carry, paired with high-quality frontline and support heroes, forming a stable and high-burst AP comp.

Advanced In-Game Tips

  1. Utilizing Set 17 Mech Aurelion Sol's Backline Bypass Mechanic: TFT Set 17 Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to deal damage to enemy backlines, giving Mech comps a huge advantage against traditional tanky enemy formations. For positioning, consider placing Aurelion Sol diagonally to the enemy's main carry to maximize his damage efficiency. At the same time, Galio's tankiness and crowd control can effectively protect Aurelion Sol and create an output environment for him.

  2. Flexible Economic Management for High-Cost Comps: For high-cost carry comps, early economy accumulation is key. Besides traditional economy augments, you can also use 3 Sea Marauders or 2 Future Fighter for a winning streak transition, or use a losing streak to gain Phantom benefits. Based on the special mechanic of Stage 2 granting 2-cost units, prioritize using 3 Sea Marauders for a winning streak transition. When rolling mid-game, flexibly assess your HP and other players to decide whether to level to 9 for 5-cost units or chase 3-star 4-cost units at level 8, avoiding forcing levels that might lead to an economic or HP collapse.

  3. Item Priority and Flexible Adaptation for Multi-Carry Comps: In multi-carry comps like Stargazer Sniper Xayah and Sylvan 95 Jhin, prioritizing the core offensive items for main carries Xayah / Jhin is crucial. At the same time, secondary carries like Jhin / Vex should also receive items. Flexibly adjust positioning to counter different opponents, ensuring core damage heroes have safe output positions. In the late game, adjust item configurations as needed based on the battle situation to fully leverage the multi-carry advantage.

  4. Counters and Counter-Counters for Chosen Fortune Million HP Comps: In Chosen Fortune mode, while Million HP Zilean and Irelia are strong, their operational difficulty lies in their strict reliance on specific Chosen heroes and core items. Zilean must be 3-star with full items to reliably revive allies and stack HP; Irelia requires the Jade Blade Chosen trait and fixed Archangel Staff, Titan's Resolve, and Bloodthirster to achieve true damage with millions of HP. If you cannot get key Chosen or core items early, it will significantly impact the comp's strength and win rate. Additionally, be wary of champions like Lee Sin and Seraphine, who have mechanics that remove units from combat. They are natural counters to Million HP comps.

  5. Economic and Quality Balance for Set 16.8 Yordle Trait: In Set 16.8, both "Lulu's Ingenuity Yordle" and "Yordle 95 2.0" fully utilize the Yordle trait's free refresh and lucky bag reward mechanics. During operation, make good use of "Lulu's Ingenuity" to transform 3-star low-cost units into high-cost units, even having a chance to hit 3-star 5-cost units. If your economy is healthy, you can activate the 8 Yordle trait at 8 population for extra rewards, then at 9 population, replace some Yordle units with high-quality 5-cost units to further improve the overall strength and ceiling of the comp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The early pace of Set 17 is relatively slow. In the early game, prioritize using 3 Sea Marauders for a winning streak transition or 2 Future Fighter for a losing streak to gain economy. In this environment, high-cost 95 comps and comps that aim to hit 3-star 4-costs are top choices for first place. If your early transition is smooth and economy is good, you can opt for Nova 95. If you want to roll for quality at level 8, Mech Flex is also an excellent choice due to its unique mechanics and stable strength. For beginners or players with a rough start, reroll comps like Stargazer Fated Twisted Fate are good strategies for stable LP gains.

The main operational difficulty for these two Million HP comps lies in their extreme reliance on specific Chosen units and core items. Zilean needs to be 3-star with full items to reliably revive all units and stack HP; Irelia requires the Jade Blade Chosen trait and must be equipped with Archangel Staff, Titan's Resolve, and Bloodthirster to achieve Million HP true damage. If you cannot obtain crucial Chosen units or core items early on, it will significantly impact the comp's strength and win rate. Additionally, you need to be wary of champions like Lee Sin and Seraphine, who can remove units from combat; they are natural counters to Million HP comps.

For Set 16.8 comps like Demacia Mel and Freljord Old Man, when facing magic damage comps, Demacia Mel's Magic Resist provides magic resistance, while Freljord Old Man relies on Ornn's tankiness and double Ice Tower crowd control. You can prioritize stacking magic resist items like Dragon's Claw and Spirit Visage on your frontline. When facing physical damage comps, focus more on physical defense items like Plate Armor and Bramble Vest. Furthermore, the Freljord trait's armor shred and damage amplification benefit all damage types, while Demacia's Radiant items can also be adjusted based on the carry's damage type, for example, giving Mel or Lux AP burst items, or Shyvana AD sustain items, allowing for flexible adaptation.
