This is a high-cost scaling system lineup. Once completed, it has screen-clearing potential and extremely high strength. Prioritize choosing it if you have high-quality Shepherd units at the start that can secure a win streak. It has higher difficulty, requiring mastery of scaling and rolling timings.

Early Game Transition (Stages 1-3): At 4 population, use 2 Juggernaut for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If starting quality is poor, consider using Future Fighter or Seamarauder synergies for transition. Mid Game Power Spike (Stages 4-5): At 5 population, use 3 Shepherd for transition. At 6 population, use 2 Judge for transition. At 7 population, use 3 Juggernaut for transition. For economy management, still prioritize saving 50 gold to level up with interest. At 5 population, prioritize building Sona and Nunu's items, giving them to backline and frontline units for transition, then transferring them to the final carries later. At 7 population, prioritize economic or combat-oriented Hextech Augments. The best Judge effect provides free rerolls or gold economy. Late Game Refinement (Stage 6+): At 8 population, start rolling, hitting 2-star Nami and 2-star Nunu will stabilize your HP and prepare for leveling up. At 9 population, start rolling for 2-star high-cost champions within the comp to complete it. If HP is above 60, consider pushing to Level 9 before rolling.

Gragas's hero augment needs to check for Empathic; if present, it's stronger. For Hextech and Deity augments, try to pick ones that explode; it's best if two abilities can eliminate the enemy main Tank. Position Gragas in the middle of the first row, with only two of your tankiest Tanks on his sides, to group enemies for more damage. Place Pyke in the back row for easier backline hooks. The artifacts that provide the most benefit are Aegis and Luden's. If you don't have Empathic, replace it with Empathic. If you have Empathic, replace it with Hand of Justice; pure burst is fine.

Jax's unconventional Stargazer, Huntress, Altar, and Boar builds actually perform better than Medal, Spring, and Shoushan because there's likely no one else contesting Jax. Overall, the strongest is Viper, greatly increasing damage reduction. As more data samples become available, Edge of Night is now far stronger than Guinsoo's Rageblade. For Artifacts, almost all Warrior Artifacts are usable, with Wit's End being the strongest.

Zed can theoretically fit into any lineup. The simplest and strongest formula is to replace Graves in Nova 9/5, as there aren't many B.F. Swords. Frontline Maokai and Tahm Kench perform better than Blitzcrank and Nunu, because Maokai can help Zed heal. When you can't play 9/5, TFT doesn't have many strong physical 8/4 lineups (meaning 8 units 4-cost), making it relatively difficult. However, in regular Teamfight Tactics (Cloud Pass), he can smoothly integrate into Corki and Master Yi systems.

The core strategy of this comp is to instantly eliminate the backline with a rain of fish. Lulu's Spring effect can hit 6 units at once, forming a complete synergy loop, and units on empowered hexes gain healing and damage increase per second. Early game, use 3 Stargazer for synergy transition. Activate at Level 7, chasing 3-star system units. After getting 3-star Lulu and a 3-star frontline, level up. At the start, check Stargazer effects; if you have Spring, you can play this comp.

This is a high-cost scaling system lineup, belonging to an unconventional point-snatching style. It's best if you start with Xayah or recommended Ornn artifacts, and have plenty of attack speed. Early game, at 4 population, use 2 Sniper, 2 Bastion for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold to level up with interest. If no quality units at the start, use Future Fighter or Seamarauder synergies for transition. At 5 population, use 2 Nova Squad for transition. At 6 population, add 1 Savior.

This Nova Zed comp is a branch of the Nova 9/5 lineup. Zed's core mechanic is that his clones inherit item attributes, and he can clone infinitely, leading to absurd damage density. Once completed, it's essentially a T0-tier presence with a very high ceiling. Early game, you can transition normally with a win streak, using 3 Seamarauder or 3 Future system or Shepherd. Prioritize building Edge of Night and Guinsoo's Rageblade. Mid game, you generally gather units around 4-5/5-1. It's common practice to start rolling at Level 9, following the Nova 9/5 rhythm. Win streaking is not recommended, you need HP to sustain until 4-2 to get Zed. If early game loss streaking puts your HP at risk, roll appropriately at 4-2 to secure quality. Divine Shadow (Zed exclusive) is a must-pick augment. Additionally, you can choose Large Economy Hextech Augments or Ahri (Deity choice) to help you reach Level 9 faster to find 2-star Zed. Position Zed in the backline or corner.

Prioritize gathering 3 Spirit at the start for a loss streak, steadily stacking 300-500 stacks of War Bunny Crossbow for Jinx as a temporary carry. Throughout the game, prioritize grabbing items to synthesize Diana's core three items. At 7 population, make small rolls to find 2-star system units to stabilize HP, slowly chasing 3-star Diana; if LeBlanc hasn't arrived, you can use 3 Shepherd or 3 Judge units as temporary carries. Do not level up before getting core 3-stars. After Diana hits 3-star at 8 population, prioritize adding Galio to strengthen frontline tankiness, saving 50 interest to slowly level up, ensuring healthy economy. At 9 population, complete Karma to activate 4 Traveler synergy, and the comp is fully online. Prioritize giving excess items to frontline tank items, magic items to Aurora, and physical items to Jinx. Then, slowly chase 3-star 4-costs to further stabilize HP and secure the win. The Judge's Karma effect must be 10 damage + 15% HP shield, synergizing with Diana's own shield to achieve infinite shields, causing the frontline to take almost no damage. If you cannot get 3 Spirit at the start or have a significant loss streak, resulting in insufficient War Bunny Crossbow stacks, the comp's strength will drop off. Diana and Aurora are fixed dual carries. Later, you can chase 3-star LeBlanc as a replacement for a higher ceiling; frontline units can be flexibly replaced with high-tankiness champions.

Early game, rely on Juggernaut units paired with backline for a smooth transition, such as Illaoi, Nunu, etc. Prioritize synthesizing LeBlanc's core offensive items, such as Guinsoo's Rageblade, Jeweled Gauntlet. At the start, immediately check the Judge refresh modifiers, prioritizing the "every 4 seconds + 10 Mana" modifier. Early game is mainly about accumulating economy, don't blindly roll. Prioritize getting 4 Juggernaut synergy to stabilize HP, using strong 2-star units to maintain board strength. At stage 4-2, precisely level up to 8 population, focusing on rolling for core LeBlanc and completing the 4 Juggernaut system. Once all units are 2-star, you gain the ability to stabilize HP. If you find enough copies, you can push for 3-star LeBlanc to increase her ceiling. Level up to 9 population to complete the final transformation, swapping out Ivern and adding Nasus and Blitzcrank to form 6 Juggernaut synergy. Allocate all excess defensive items to Nunu to further enhance the frontline's overall damage absorption. Juggernaut heroes build a strong defensive line in the front, while LeBlanc and Karma and other damage dealers are safely placed in the backline. Adjust LeBlanc's positioning flexibly based on enemy infiltrators or area damage to ensure her optimal damage output. If the Judge modifier refreshes with a HP shield effect at the start, you can immediately abandon the "Ironclad LeBlanc" system and directly transition to "Infinite Shield Diana", allowing for flexible switching between two playstyles.

Strategy

Don't rush to level up in the early game. After getting "Starforged Will" at 2-1, use Twisted Fate, Talon to get 3 Stargazer, saving gold for interest. If you already have 3 Stargazer and a 2-star frontline, and Jax has an item, you can aim for a win streak at the start. Level up to 6 population at 3-2; this is the most crucial roll. Directly make a big roll down to about 30 gold, finding 2-star Jax and the basic structure of the comp. 2-star Jax is strong in the early game and can sustain a slow roll for 3-star. Slow roll around 30 gold/50 gold, you must hit 3-star Jax before 4-1. After 3-star Jax, immediately save gold to level up. Prioritize chasing 3-star Jax, then 3-star Pantheon and Milio. One 3-star frontline and one 3-star backline is enough to go to Level 7, then Level 8; no need to wait for all to be chased. At Level 8, add Rhaast with Kayn (or Morgana). If conditions allow, continue chasing Lulu and Maokai. In the late game, Level 8 is usually played until the end; if HP is healthy, you can go to Level 9 to add 5-cost units. Recommended positioning is in the back-left corner ("toilet seat position"), 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 none, find other tanks. Sub-carries can be other 2-star 4-cost or 5-cost damage dealers.

Oracle Laser Aurelion Sol is a popular comp in the current version, especially strong against single-tank frontline comps, quickly clearing their HP bars. The core lies in the pure burst damage from 2-star 4-cost frontliners and 2-star Aurelion Sol, as well as activating 3 Oracle at Level 9 to increase the ceiling. It's not a mindless comp; it requires precise scaling rhythm and itemization. If you can roll for 2-star frontliners and 2-star Aurelion Sol in the first few rounds of stage 4, you can reliably stabilize HP and secure a top finish. It's slightly weaker than T0 comps of the version, but once completed, it has top 4 potential. When other comps aren't going well, it can serve as a strong alternative for transition. Its operation difficulty is higher, not suitable for mindless play, recommended for players who understand mid-game transitions and economy management. At stage 4-2, after leveling up to 8 population, start rolling for 2-star Aurelion Sol and 2-star frontliners. 4-2 is the critical rolling timing; leveling too early will crash your economy, while leveling too late might lead to being defeated by other completed comps. Prioritize building Aurelion Sol's Jeweled Gauntlet and the main tank's Frozen Heart, then complete Aurelion Sol's second offensive item and frontline tank items. If HP is healthy, economy is good, and rolls are smooth, go to 9 population to add Bard or Sona, activating 3 Oracle to increase the ceiling. Position Aurelion Sol in a corner for safe damage, with the main tank at the very front to absorb damage. The frontline can be spread out or single-stacked. Prioritize economic augments, such as "Ahri" (provides gold and experience) or other augments that help you reach 8 population at stage 4-2, ensuring enough economy for rolling.

The core of this comp is to achieve Zoe's infinite ability casting perpetual motion machine effect, dealing massive damage, by utilizing the Judge synergy's 10 damage and mana-gain effect in conjunction with the Ekko's Patience item. It's a T0-tier, high-strength comp in this version, relatively simple to operate, suitable for players seeking high burst and sustained abilities. Early game, prioritize using the Seamarauder synergy to randomly acquire Leona and Zoe. At Level 5, you can add 2 Future Fighter to increase rolling chances, aiming to activate before Level 6 and find 3-star Zoe in one go. Mid game, when the Judge's 10 damage and mana regen effect can synergize with Ekko's Patience, infinite abilities are achieved. Prioritize securing Zoe's critical items. Late game, level up to add higher quality champions. Use Nunu as a control point, with LeBlanc and Karma providing additional utility and functionality. Prioritize God-Forged Forge, Dormant Forge, Sublime Adventure augments. Special augments can include Yasuo's Starlight Hex or Varus's Duplicator. The comp's advantage lies in Zoe's infinite abilities providing high burst and sustained damage. Rank-up advice is to seize the early to mid-game rhythm, quickly reach 3-star Zoe and gather core items.

In TFT S17 Starfall season 17.3, "Infinite Laser Aurelion Sol" has become a strong choice. This version saw a significant buff to Aurelion Sol's overall stats, transforming his damage output. The comp is built around Aurelion Sol as a pure damage system, utilizing the Oracle synergy for efficient mana regeneration, allowing for continuous laser attacks to suppress opponents. It's simple and easy to pick up, safe for both beginners and female TFT players. Early game, prioritize using the Shepherd synergy for transition. Give Aurelion Sol's completed items to Lissandra for temporary use. For Starfall Blessings, prioritize AP-related items to synthesize Aurelion Sol's core item, Rabadon's Deathcap, as early as possible. You can also choose a Spirit loss streak to accumulate resources. Mid game, at stages 4-1 to 4-2, level up to 8 population and start rolling for the entire system's core units, getting key units to 2-star to stabilize HP. If you can't get 4 Juggernaut synergy, directly use Galio to fill the frontline position to ensure overall tankiness. Late game, after Aurelion Sol successfully reaches 2-star, you can fully push for higher population. At 9 population, complete 3 Oracle synergy to speed up ability cooldowns. Prioritize synthesizing resistance-reduction items to maximize Aurelion Sol's laser damage output. You can also field Rhaast to add utility. Recommended augments include economic ones (Four-Cost Squad, Late Game Specialist, etc.) and offensive ones (Archangel's Staff, Tailored Fit, etc.).

This is a high-cost scaling system lineup, focusing on economic management and late-game high-cost unit completion to dominate the match. The core damage dealer is Graves, whose ability upgrade should prioritize the Warrior template, then continuously click Lead Bullet until Laser Barrage appears. After the hotfix, the chance of 3-star 4-costs winning is reduced, making this the highest win rate comp currently, a top choice if your economy is good. It revolves around the Nova synergy with Aatrox and Akali. Aatrox provides resistance shred for all units, and Akali grants critical strike chance to all, significantly boosting the output of 5-cost units like Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The comp typically completes at Level 9, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, and Graves, forming multiple synergies. Early game, prioritize 3 Seamarauder with AD items or Big Bear with attack speed items for transition. Depending on economy, HP, and contested comps, choose to power roll at 4-2/4-5/4-7 to Level 9. If HP is around 50, roll for 2-star main tank + two 2-star carries, then push to Level 10. After maxing out board quality, it's crucial to observe other players' boards to prevent 3-star 4-costs from being stolen, and implement champion blocking strategies.

This is currently the easiest 4-cost comp to loss-streak and stabilize HP, with flexible construction and lower cost, especially suitable for AP or tank item transitions, or starting with a loss streak. TFT's Aurelion Sol ability can directly bypass the frontline to hit the backline, making it a T0.5 strength comp that can be forced every game. The regular lineup consists of Urgot, Viktor, Galio, Tahm Kench, Master Yi, and Aurelion Sol, forming 6 Mech, 2 Brawler, 2 Berserker, 2 PsyOps. This comp, combined with Tahm Kench 's solo synergy effect, makes it easy to steal 3-star 4-costs. Early game, transition with 2 Future / 3 Spirit / 3 Seamarauder, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, level up to 8 and make a big roll, assembling the recommended comp based on what you find, remembering to transform all Mechs. After Aurelion Sol and Galio are 2-star, save gold and decide whether to level to 9 or chase 3-stars based on other players.
