The recent patch strengthened Space Groove, allowing 7 Space Groove to infinitely stack damage bonuses, maximizing output. Utilize the 7 Space Groove trait effect with a reroll strategy to quickly find 3-star core units, forming an overlooked but powerful comp. An opener with a Space Groove Emblem, Treasure Hunter, or Double Up Tankiness Augment is ideal.

Early Game (Stages 1-3): Transition using Futurist trait early, using Sniper units to hold items. At 4 units, use 3 Space Groove for transition. If your initial board quality is low, you can use Futurist or Seamaker traits to transition. Prioritize saving up 50 gold and leveling up with interest.

Mid Game (Stages 4-5): At 5 units, you can opt for 2 Dark Star for transition. Prioritize saving up 50 gold and leveling up with interest. Prioritize choosing Treasure Hunter or Double Up Tankiness Augments, or obtaining a Space Groove Emblem and having many BF Swords is best. Roll down at Level 7 to chase 3-star Samira and Ornn. At 7 units: Start rolling for 2-star Samira or 2-star Ornn to stabilize. At this unit count, maintain 20 interest and roll for 3-star Samira or 3-star Ornn before leveling up. If Blitzcrank appears early, prioritize getting 7 Space Groove.

Late Game (Stage 6+): At 8 units: Use 2 Sniper for transition. If you don't have Blitzcrank, you can prioritize 3 Stargazer. At 9 units: Rolling for 2-star high-cost units within the comp completes the lineup. After maxing out quality, pay attention to whether opponents might be denying your 3-star 4-cost units and hold units accordingly. Level up to activate 7 Space Groove, and the comp is fully online.

This is a high-cost vertical comp that relies on economic scaling. Consider this comp if you have 2 to 3 Gnar units at the start. Prioritize making Gnar's items first, then Rammus's items.

Mid Game (Stages 4-5): If you have the Tristana exclusive augment, play this comp directly, prioritizing 3 Shepherd. Roll down at Level 6 to chase 3-star core units. Late Game (Stage 6+): After chasing 3-star core units, level up to add Rhaast.

This is a high-cost vertical comp that, once assembled, has screen-clearing power and extremely high strength. Prioritize this comp if you have high-quality Shepherd units at the start for a win streak. It's difficult to play and requires mastery of economy management and rolling timings.

Early Game (Stages 1-3): At 4 units, use 2 Heavy Armor for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold and utilizing interest to level up. If initial board quality is poor, consider using Futurist or Seamaker traits for transition. Mid Game (Stages 4-5): At 5 units, use 3 Shepherd for transition. At 6 units, use 2 Judge for transition. At 7 units, use 3 Heavy Armor for transition. For economy management, you still need to prioritize saving 50 gold and utilizing interest to level up. At 5 units, prioritize making items for Sona and Nunu, giving them to backline and frontline units for transition, then replacing them with final carries later. At 7 units, prioritize choosing economy or combat Augments. The Judge effect is best if it provides free refreshes or gold income. Late Game (Stage 6+): At 8 units, roll down for 2-star Nami and 2-star Nunu to stabilize and prepare to level up. At 9 units, roll down for 2-star high-cost units within the comp, and the comp is fully online. If your health is above 60, you can consider holding and leveling to 9 before rolling. If your health is low at 30, and there are competitors, you can consider hitting 3-star 4-cost to win at this level. If competitors already have 2-star units, you can level up to 9 to increase the comp's ceiling. After maxing out quality, you need to observe opponent boards to prevent your 3-star 4-costs from being denied, and hold units accordingly.

For Gragas Hero Augment, having Empathy makes it even stronger. For Augments and Divines, try to pick burst ones. Being able to burst down the enemy's main Tank with two spells is ideal. Position Gragas in the middle of the front row, with only two of your tankiest units on either side, to clump enemies for more explosions. Position Pyke in the back row to more easily hook the backline. The Artifacts that provide the biggest boost are Bracer and Luden's Echo. If you don't have Empathy, replace it with Empathy; if you do, replace it with Hand of Justice. Pure burst is the goal.

Niche Stargazer, Huntress, Altar, Boar data performs better for Jax than Medal, Spring, Mountaineer, likely because fewer people are contesting Jax. The strongest overall is Viper, with greatly improved damage reduction. As more big data samples come in, Edge of Night is now far stronger than Guinsoo's Rageblade. For Artifacts, almost all Warrior Artifacts work, with Wisdom being the strongest.

Zed can theoretically fit into any comp. The simplest and strongest formula is to replace Graves in Nova Five-Cost, as there aren't many BF Swords. Frontline Maokai, Tahm Kench data is better than Blitzcrank, Nunu, because Maokai helps Zed heal. When you can't play Five-Cost, TFT Mobile doesn't have many strong physical 8-4 comps, which makes it a struggle. On PC TFT, it can smoothly integrate into Corki and Master Yi systems.

The core idea of this comp is to instantly burst the backline with Fishfall. Lulu's Spring effect can hit 6 units at once, forming a closed-loop trait system, and reinforced hexes grant units healing and damage boosts per second. Transition with 3 Stargazer early to gain traits. Roll down at Level 7 to chase 3-star core units. After getting 3-star Lulu and 3-star frontliners, level up. Check the Stargazer effect at the start; if it's Spring, you can play this comp.

This Nova Squad Zed comp is a branch of the Nova Five-Cost comp. Zed's core mechanic is that his clones inherit item stats and can clone infinitely, leading to exaggerated damage density. Once assembled, it's generally a T0-tier comp with a very high ceiling. You can win streak normally early, using 3 Seamaker or 3 Futurist traits or Shepherd. Prioritize making Edge of Night and Guinsoo's Rageblade. Mid-game, you generally assemble units around 4-5 / 5-1. It's common practice to roll down at Level 9, following the Nova Five-Cost rhythm. It's not recommended to lose streak; you need health to survive until 4-2 to get Zed. If you lose streak early and your health is critical, roll moderately at 4-2 to ensure quality. Dark Emissary Shadow (or Zed Exclusive) is a must-take Augment. Additionally, you can choose large economy Augments or Ahri (Divine choice) to help you reach Level 9 faster for 2-star Zed. Position Zed in the backline or corner.

At the start, prioritize 3 Spirit to lose streak, consistently stacking 300-500 stacks of War Bunny Crossbow on Jinx for early game. Throughout the game, prioritize grabbing items to synthesize Diana's core three items. At 7 units, roll down slightly for 2-star core units to stabilize health, then slow roll for 3-star Diana. If LeBlanc hasn't appeared, you can add 3 Shepherd or 3 Judge units as placeholders. Do not level up before your core unit is 3-star. After Diana is 3-star at 8 units, prioritize adding Galio to reinforce frontline tankiness. Save 50 interest to slowly level up, ensuring a healthy economy. At 9 units, complete the comp by adding Karma to activate 4 Traveler trait. Any excess items should prioritize tank items for the frontline, AP items for Aurora, and AD items for Jinx. Then, slow roll for 3-star 4-cost units to further stabilize and secure a first place. The Judge effect must choose "10 damage + 15% Max Health shield" to synergize with Diana's own shield, achieving infinite shields and making the frontline almost unkillable. If you can't get 3 Spirit or have a big lose streak opener, leading to insufficient War Bunny Crossbow stacks, the comp's strength will drop off significantly. Diana and Aurora are the fixed dual carries. Later, you can chase 3-star LeBlanc to replace, for a higher ceiling; frontliners can be flexibly replaced with high-tankiness units.

Early game, rely on Heavy Armor units with backline units to transition smoothly, such as Illaoi, Nunu, etc. Prioritize synthesizing LeBlanc's core damage items, like Guinsoo's Rageblade and Jeweled Gauntlet. At the start, immediately check the Judge refresh condition, prioritizing "every 4 seconds + 10 Mana" condition. Focus on accumulating economy early, don't blindly roll. Prioritize getting 4 Heavy Armor trait to stabilize health, using 2-star strong units to maintain board strength. At stage 4-2, level up to 8, focusing on rolling for core LeBlanc and completing the 4 Heavy Armor system. Getting all units to 2-star grants stabilization. If units are abundant, you can pursue 3-star LeBlanc for a higher ceiling. Level up to 9 for the final transformation, swapping out Tristana and adding Nasus and Blitzcrank for 6 Heavy Armor trait. Allocate excess defensive items to Nunu to further enhance the frontline's overall damage absorption capacity. Position Heavy Armor heroes in the front to build a solid defense, and place LeBlanc and Karma safely in the backline for damage. Flexibly adjust LeBlanc's positioning based on enemy divers or area-of-effect damage to ensure her clear damage window. If the initial Judge condition refreshes to a health shield effect, you can immediately abandon the "Iron Maiden" system and transition directly into "Infinite Shield Diana," allowing for flexible playstyle switches.

Jax Artifact recommendations: Rapid Firecannon、Spear of Shojin、Wit's End、Mitten (Artifact).

Strategy

Don't rush to level up early. After getting "Starforged" at 2-1, use Twisted Fate, Talon to activate 3 Stargazer, then save money for interest. If you already have 3 Stargazer plus a 2-star frontliner, and Jax has one item, you can aim for a win streak. Level up to 6 at 3-2, which is a critical roll down. Roll down to around 30 gold, finding 2-star Jax and the basic comp structure. 2-star Jax is strong early and can sustain slow rolling for 3-star. Slow roll around 30 / 50 gold, you must hit 3-star Jax before 4-1. After 3-star Jax, save money and level up. Prioritize chasing 3-star Jax, then Pantheon and Milio. Once you have one 3-star frontliner and one 3-star backliner, you can go to Level 7 and Level 8, no need to wait for all of them. At Level 8, add Rhaast and Kayn (or Morgana). If conditions allow, continue chasing Lulu and Maokai. In the late game, Level 8 is usually the stopping point. If health is healthy, you can go to Level 9 for 5-cost units. Recommended positioning is the left-side corner, adjusting flexibly based on Stargazer positions. Pantheon is the strongest main tank; if he doesn't appear, he can be replaced by Maokai or Rammus. If still no luck, find other tanks. Secondary carries can be other 2-star 4-cost or 5-cost damage heroes.

Oracle Laser Aurelion Sol is a popular comp in the current meta, especially effective against single-tank compositions, quickly clearing their health bars. The core lies in the pure burst damage of 2-star 4-cost frontliners and 2-star Aurelion Sol, and activating 3 Oracle at Level 9 to increase the ceiling. It's not a mindless comp; it requires precise economic management and itemization. When you can roll 2-star frontliners and 2-star Aurelion Sol in the first few rounds of Stage 4, you can consistently stabilize and secure a top finish. It's slightly weaker than the T0 comps, but it has top 4 potential once assembled. When other comps aren't going well, it can be a strong alternative transformation. It has a high skill ceiling and isn't suitable for mindless play, recommended for players familiar with mid-game transitions and economic management. At 4-2, level up to 8 and start rolling for 2-star Aurelion Sol and 2-star frontliners. 4-2 is the critical rolling timing; leveling to 8 too early will crash your economy, and too late might lead to being defeated by other assembled comps. Prioritize making Aurelion Sol's Jeweled Gauntlet and the main tank's Frozen Heart, then complete Aurelion Sol's second damage item and frontliner tank items. If health is healthy, economy is good, and units appear smoothly, go to Level 9 to add Bard or Sona, activating 3 Oracle to increase the ceiling. Position Aurelion Sol in a safe corner for damage output, and the main tank in the very front to absorb damage; the frontline can be a single line or a solo tank. Prioritize economy Augments, such as "Ahri" (provides gold and experience) or others that help you reach Level 8 at 4-2, ensuring enough economy for rolling.

The core of this comp is to achieve an infinite spellcasting effect for Zoe through the Judge trait's "10 damage + mana regeneration" effect, combined with the Ekko's Patience item, resulting in massive damage. It's a T0-tier, high-strength comp that is relatively simple to play, suitable for players who seek high burst and perpetual spells. Early game, prioritize using the Seamaker trait to randomly obtain Leona and Zoe. At Level 5, you can add 2 Futurist to increase roll chances, aiming to roll down before Level 6 and find 3-star Zoe in one go. Mid-game, when the Judge's "10 damage + mana regeneration" effect can synergize with Ekko's Patience, infinite spellcasting can be achieved. Prioritize securing Zoe's key items. Late game, level up to add higher-quality heroes. Use Nunu as a crowd control point, and LeBlanc and Karma provide additional value and utility. Prioritize choosing God-Given Forge, Dormant Forge, Noble Adventure Augments. Special Augments can include Yasuo's Starlight Grid or Varus's Duplicator. The comp's advantage lies in the high burst and sustained damage from Zoe's infinite spells. Recommendation for climbing is to grasp the early and mid-game tempo, quickly reaching 3-star Zoe and assembling core items.

In Teamfight Tactics Set 17 Star Guardian season 17.3, "Infinite Laser Aurelion Sol" becomes a powerful choice. This version significantly buffed Aurelion Sol's overall stats, transforming his damage output. The comp builds a pure damage system around Aurelion Sol, utilizing the Oracle trait for efficient mana regeneration, continuously unleashing lasers to suppress opponents. It's easy to play and accessible, making it suitable for both new and casual players. Early game, prioritize using the Shepherd trait for transition. Give Aurelion Sol's completed items to Lissandra as a placeholder. For Star Guardian Blessing, prioritize Ability Power-related items to synthesize Aurelion Sol's core item, Rabadon's Deathcap, as early as possible. You can also opt for a Spirit lose streak to accumulate resources. Mid-game, at Stage 4-1 to 4-2, level up to 8 and start rolling for the entire core unit lineup, getting main units to 2-star to stabilize health. If you can't activate 4 Heavy Armor trait, directly use Galio as a frontliner to ensure overall tankiness. Late game, after Aurelion Sol successfully reaches 2-star, push aggressively for higher levels, adding 3 Oracle at Level 9 to speed up spell rotations. Prioritize making Magic Resist Reduction items to maximize Aurelion Sol's laser damage. You can also add Rhaast for additional utility. Recommended Augments include economy ones (Four-Cost Squad, Late Game Specialist, etc.) and damage ones (Archangel's Embrace, Custom-Made, etc.).

This is a high-cost vertical comp, focusing on economy management and late-game high-cost unit assembly to dominate the game. The core carry is Graves, with priority on the Warrior template for his ability, then continuously clicking Lead Shot until Laser Barrage appears. After the hotfix, the chance of cheesing 3-star 4-cost units has decreased, making this the highest win rate comp when economy is good. It revolves around the Nova Squad trait with Aatrox and Akali. Aatrox provides Armor/MR Shred for all, and Akali grants critical strike chance to all, greatly boosting the damage of 5-cost units like Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The standard comp is assembled at Level 9, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, Graves, forming a multi-trait lineup. Early game, prioritize 3 Seamaker with AD items or Dabei with Attack Speed items for transition. Based on economy, health, and competitors, decide to go to Level 9 at 4-2 / 4-5 / 4-7 for a big roll down. If health is around 50, roll for 2-star main tank + two 2-star carries to push for top 10. After maxing out quality, be sure to observe other players' boards to avoid having your 3-star 4-cost units stolen, and use unit holding strategies.

This is currently the easiest 4-cost comp to lose streak and stabilize, with a flexible and low-cost build, especially suitable for AP/tank item transitions or a lose streak opener. In TFT Mobile, Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to hit the backline, making it a T0.5 strength that you can force every game. The standard comp setup is Urgot, Viktor, Galio, Tahm Kench, Master Yi, Aurelion Sol, forming 6 Mech 2 Bruiser 2 Berserker 2 PsyOps. This comp, combined with Tahm Kench's solo trait effect, makes it easy to hit 3-star 4-cost units. Early game, transition with 2 Futurist / 3 Spirit / 3 Seamaker, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, level to 8 for a big roll down. Based on what units you find, assemble the recommended comp, remembering to transform all your Mech units. After Aurelion Sol and Galio are 2-star, save money and decide whether to go to Level 9 or chase 3-star based on competitors.
