Core Items

Operational Strategy

This is an economy-driven, high-cost composition that relies on careful management. The best starting conditions are having a Shepherd emblem or a winning streak with 3 Shepherd units, aiming to build a frontline with immense HP and powerful magic output. At Level 4, you can transition using 2 Heavy Armor units, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If your board strength is low, you can use Cybernetic or Sea Demon traits for transition. At Level 5, you can transition around 3 Shepherd units, continuing to save 50 gold. At Level 6, you can transition using 2 Traveler units, continuing to save 50 gold. At Level 7, you can transition using 2 Oracle units, continuing to save 50 gold. In the mid-game, observe your opponents' boards and prioritize giving items to LeBlanc, then Morgana, and finally Karma. At Level 8, start rolling for 2-star LeBlanc and 2-star Morgana before leveling up. At Level 9, start rolling for 2-star high-cost units within the composition to complete your board. After reaching full strength, keep an eye on opponents to prevent your 3-star 4-cost heroes from being poached by Thief Masters, and remember to hold key units.

Operational Strategy

This is a reroll-focused, high-cost transition composition that can ultimately solo 3-star 5-cost units. At Level 4, transition using 3 Superhero units. Prioritize making Ezreal's items (prioritize Axiom Arc), then Vi's items. Focus on saving 50 gold to level up with interest. At Level 5, use 2 Intelligence Agent for transition; at Level 6, use 3 Underground Syndicate for transition. At Level 6, reroll while maintaining 30 gold interest, chasing 3-star Ezreal, Lee Sin, Vi, and Malphite before leveling up. At Level 7, use 2 Mascot for transition; at Level 8, use 2 Intelligence Agent for transition. If conditions allow, pursue more 3-star Superhero units. At Level 9, start rolling for 2-star high-cost units within the composition to complete your board. If your HP drops below 30, you can choose to reroll for more 3-star quality at Level 8 before leveling up. Choose this composition if you have many core units early or a Hero Augment.

Operational Strategy

This is a composition centered around Teemo, progressively forming through high-cost unit transitions. It's suitable when you get many Teemo units early or have recommended Augments. Recommended Divine units: Varus / Thresh. The main trait is Space Groove (2/3/5), providing core output and tempo control; auxiliary trait is Heavy Armor (2/4), providing frontline resilience; other transition trait is Dark Star (2). At Level 3, use 2 Heavy Armor for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If board strength is low, you can intentionally lose rounds to break opponent Spirit streaks. At Level 4, use 2 Space Groove for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. Prioritize taking combat or item Augments. At Level 5, use 2 Dark Star for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. At this level, you need to reroll while maintaining 30 interest to chase 3-star Teemo / Remina / Nasus before leveling up. At Level 6, use 4 Heavy Armor for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. Prioritize making Teemo or Remina items, then Nami. At Level 7, use 3 Space Groove for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If you have "No Scouting, No Pivoting" and no Blitzcrank, it's best to prioritize activating 5 Space Groove or 4 Heavy Armor. At Level 8, use 5 Space Groove for transition, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. Unless your HP is below 30, where you can reroll all units to 2-star to secure a top 4, normally you should save for Level 9 to be strong. At Level 9, start rolling for 2-star high-cost units within the composition to complete your board. After reaching full strength, remember to observe opponents to prevent your 3-star 4-cost heroes from being poached by Thief Masters, and remember to hold key units.

Operational Strategy

This is an economy-driven, high-cost composition that requires careful economic management and tempo control. Having Baby Academy or 2-star Veigar early is ideal. At Level 4, transition with 3 Woodland Tribe. If you have no strong units early, you can use Cybernetic / Sea Demon traits for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold to level up with interest. At Level 5, transition with 2 Fortress Guard, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If you naturally find more than 6 copies of Veigar / Poppy, you can consider rolling at this level. Otherwise, prioritize leveling up and wait for 7 Woodland Tribe to manifest 3-stars. At Level 6, transition with 5 Woodland Tribe, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest, and prioritize taking combat or economic Augments. At Level 7, transition with 1 Space Groove, prioritizing saving 50 gold to level up with interest. You don't need to force 3-star Veigar as the 7 Woodland Tribe can empower him later. At Level 8, start rolling for 7 Woodland Tribe and 2-star Rammus to form a stable board. If your HP is below 30, you only need to chase 3-star 4-cost units at this level. At Level 9, start rolling for 2-star high-cost units within the composition to complete your board. After reaching full strength, remember to observe opponents to prevent your 3-star 4-cost heroes from being poached by Thief Masters, and remember to hold key units.

Operational Strategy

The core idea is that Aatrox with three Steadfast Plates gains more damage as his resistances increase, combined with Nova Selector to give Aatrox a full-screen knock-up, maximizing damage. Early game, transition with 3 Sea Demon. The key to economic management is not to level up while chasing 3-star Aatrox. After 3-star Aatrox, level up to activate 5 Nova.

Operational Strategy

In TFT S17 Astro season 17.3, "Infinite Laser Aurelion Sol" has become a powerful choice. This version significantly buffed Aurelion Sol's overall stats, transforming his output potential. The composition revolves around Aurelion Sol, building a pure damage system, and using the Oracle trait for efficient mana regeneration, continuously unleashing lasers to suppress opponents. It's simple and easy to learn, suitable for both beginners and casual players. Early game, prioritize transitioning with the Shepherd trait. Give Aurelion Sol's completed items to Lissandra as a temporary holder. For Astro Blessing, prioritize magic power-related items to synthesize Aurelion Sol's core item, Rabadon's Deathcap, as early as possible. Alternatively, you can choose to lose streak with Spirit to accumulate resources. In the mid-game, at stage 4-1 to 4-2, level up to 8 and start searching for the core units of the entire composition, getting main units to 2-star to stabilize your HP. If you cannot form the 4 Heavy Armor trait, directly use Galio as a frontline replacement to ensure overall tankiness. Late game, after Aurelion Sol successfully reaches 2-star, push for higher levels. At Level 9, complete the 3 Oracle trait to speed up skill rotation. Prioritize synthesizing resistance-shredding items to maximize Aurelion Sol's laser output. You can also field Rhaast to provide additional utility.

Operational Strategy

This is a high-cost economy-focused composition that emphasizes economic management and late-game high-cost unit completion to dominate the game. The core carry is Graves; prioritize his ability upgrades with the Warrior template, then keep clicking Buckshot until Laser Barrage appears. After the hotfix, the chance of sneaking a 3-star 4-cost is lower, making this currently the highest win rate composition if you have good economy. It revolves around the Nova trait with Aatrox and Akali. Aatrox provides resistance shred for all units, and Akali gives critical strike chance to all, greatly boosting the output of 5-cost units like Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The standard composition completes at Level 9, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, and Graves, forming multiple traits. Early game, prioritize transitioning with 3 Sea Demon carrying AD items or Big Despicable carrying attack speed items. Based on economy, HP, and opponents, choose to push for Level 9 at 4-2/4-5/4-7. If HP is around 50, roll for 2-star main tank + two 2-star carries, then push to 10. After reaching full strength, be sure to observe other players' boards to avoid your 3-star 4-cost units being poached, and remember to hold key units.

Operational Strategy

This is currently the easiest 4-cost composition to lose streak and stabilize, with flexible construction and relatively low cost, especially suitable for transitioning with magic or tank items or starting with a lose streak. TFT Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to hit the backline, making it a T0.5 strength composition that can be forced consistently. The typical composition includes Urgot, Viktor, Galio, Tahm Kench, Master Yi, and Aurelion Sol, forming 6 Mech 2 Brawler 2 Bruiser 2 Psychic. This composition, combined with Tahm Kench's solo trait effect, makes it easy to acquire 3-star 4-cost units. Early game, use 2 Cybernetic / 3 Spirit / 3 Sea Demon for transition, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, push to Level 8 and reroll heavily. Based on the units you find, assemble the recommended composition, remembering to transform all Mech units. After Aurelion Sol and Galio are 2-star, save gold. Based on opponents, choose to go to Level 9 or chase 3-stars.

Operational Strategy

The core of this composition is centered around Aatrox (Sword Demon), achieving full-screen stun control by equipping three Steadfast Plates and combining with the Nova Ops trait. It's a niche option suitable for securing points. Consider prioritizing this if you find multiple Aatrox units or many Plate Armor items early. At Level 3, transition with 3 Sea Demon, prioritizing accumulating 50 gold interest to level up, while using the Sea Demon trait to earn economy and acquire units. At Level 4, transition with 2 Berserker, continuing to maintain 50 gold interest. At this stage, you can reroll while maintaining 30 gold interest to chase 3-star Aatrox (Sword Demon). If you have many Caitlyn units, you can also chase 3-star Caitlyn simultaneously. At Level 5, activate 2 Nova Ops for transition, continuing to save gold for leveling up, prioritizing combat or item Augments. At Level 6, activate 2 Brawler for transition, continuing to save gold for leveling up. If you have a Nova Ops emblem, consider replacing Caitlyn with Yi or other 5-cost units. At Level 7, transition to 4 Nova Ops. If you can reach 5 Nova Ops, you will get a selector that grants Aatrox a special full-screen stun ability. At Level 8, start rolling. Once 2-star Kindred is found, the composition is largely complete. If HP is below 30, you can chase 3-star 4-cost heroes at the current level. At Level 9, continue to chase 2-star high-cost units to complete the composition. After reaching full strength, be careful of opponents to prevent 3-star 4-cost units from being poached.

Operational Strategy

This is a reroll-focused, high-cost composition that aims to transition from an early reroll strategy to late-game high-cost unit completion. It's best to go for this if you get a Prodigy emblem or many magic items early. At Level 4, transition using 3 Prodigy trait. Prioritize making Zoe's items, then Annie's items. Focus on saving 50 gold to level up with interest. At Level 5, transition using 2 Ox Force. If you have a Spatula or Prodigy emblem, prioritize acquiring them for a significant power spike. At Level 6, transition using 2 Psychic. In standard play, maintain a balance of one economic, one item, and one combat Augment. At Level 7, transition using 2 Prankster. At this level, you need to control interest around 30 gold and reroll for 3-star Zoe or 3-star Annie before leveling up. At Level 8, transition using 2 Mystic Defender. If your HP is below 30, you can do a small roll for 2-star core units before leveling to Level 9. Remember to save 5-cost units like Fiddlesticks and Urgot, as they can be pulled onto the board by Syndra later. At Level 9: Start rolling for 2-star high-cost units to complete your board. If Amumu (economic) is on the board, you can freely chase 2-star 5-cost units later and replace necessary units, potentially allowing you to chase 3-star 5-cost units.
