May 12, 2026 Rank-Climbing Secret: TFT S17.2A Patch — High-Cost & Reroll Comp Dual Dominance
Applicable Versions: S17.2A, S17.2, S17.1B, S17, S16.8, Chosen Fortune Featured Recommendations: In the TFT S17.2A patch, Magician Miss Fortune, Dark Star, and Jax Exclusive firmly hold T0 status, with Novastar Nine-Five, Juggernaut Teemo, Nami Flex, and Gragas Exclusive following closely behind. Both high-cost economy management and reroll comps are prevalent, creating a diverse meta. Additionally, the S16.8 Demacia Freljord system and the Immortal Zilean and Irelia in Chosen Fortune remain powerful tools for climbing.

Gameplay Strategy
Centered around Nasus, this comp achieves infinite growth through an exclusive augment, leading to immense late-game damage, capable of dealing tens of thousands of damage in one hit. Use 2-star Nasus for a strong early game transition, prioritizing Nasus's three core items and frontline gear. For economy management, avoid other units affecting his stacking. Before level 6, big roll for 3-star Nasus. If you have few copies, you can stay at level 5 to slow roll. Once 3-star, level up. If you have many Teemo copies, you can also chase 3-star Teemo as a secondary carry. The main goal is to get 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, adjusting Nunu and Willump's positions based on opponent's setup.

Gameplay Strategy
This comp primarily revolves around Teemo and other four 1-cost units to form 6 Juggernauts, fully optimizing at nine units. It's fast to assemble, with the core being 1-cost Teemo, 1-cost Leona, and other low-cost units that are easy to 3-star. The early game transition is smooth, and after 3-star Teemo is established in the mid-game, HP stabilization is strong. The frontline Juggernauts absorb damage, while Teemo insanely stacks poison from the backline, and Lissandra takes the opportunity to deal AoE damage. Play this comp if you have good base cards at the start or a Guinsoo's Rageblade component. Don't actively level up early. At level 4 (after Krugs at 3-1), do a big roll (leaving around 30 gold) to get 2-star Teemo, Leona, and Lissandra. Prioritize synthesizing core offensive items for Teemo. Once Teemo and Leona are 3-star, you can level up. At level 7, add Zoe and Illaoi to activate 3 Shepherd + 4 Juggernaut + 2 Oracle + 2 Judge traits. Then, you can small roll to stabilize HP. For Judge's effect, prioritize: by star level / dealing 10 instances of damage / every 4 seconds / spending 50 mana: gain resistances or HP. At level 8, priorities are flexible; prioritize adding Nami for 3 Space Groove to stabilize combat power. If Blitzcrank comes easily, you can also go for 6 Juggernauts directly (you can drop Judge to prioritize 6 Juggernauts). If you have a significant advantage later, go to level 9, then upgrade Nunu and Blitzcrank for quality, you can add Judge or Bard. Frontline Juggernauts absorb damage, while backline Teemo insanely stacks poison.

Gameplay Strategy
This comp uses Leona as the main tank, forming a sturdy frontline through powerful Juggernaut and Judge traits. It's supplemented by LeBlanc as the main carry for damage, while utilizing augments and items to maximize Leona's tankiness and crowd control, aiming to dive the backline and directly target carries. At level 5, use Leona, Nasus, Mordekaiser, Zoe, Illaoi to quickly activate Juggernaut and Judge traits. Prioritize synthesizing tank items for Leona, such as Sunfire Cape. Rapidly get low-cost units to 2-star to stabilize HP and ensure a healthy economy. At level 7, add Sapling, LeBlanc, Nunu to complete 3 Judge and 3 Shepherd traits, significantly boosting sustain and damage. When economy allows, quickly level up to search for key champions. Allocate offensive items to LeBlanc, such as Blue Buff and Jeweled Gauntlet. At level 8, add Karma to maximize trait effects. Based on the game situation, further optimize the main carry and main tank's items, aiming for perfect items. Observe opponent positioning and adjust Leona's charge direction and LeBlanc's output position to avoid being eliminated.

This comp is a patchwork comp composed of 3 Stargazers, using the Stargazer Emblem to chase multiple 3-star units for high bonus damage. Caitlyn and Twisted Fate deal high single-target damage, making it a super invincible low-cost reroll comp. Early on, only keep core units: Caitlyn, Twisted Fate, Jax, Aatrox, Talon, don't add unnecessary units. Don't rush to level up at the start, safely build economy; at level 4, do a small roll to get 1-cost units to 2-star to stabilize HP; at level 5, slow roll while maintaining interest, prioritizing 3-star Caitlyn and Twisted Fate. After level 6, focus on chasing 3-star Jax. Don't intentionally hard roll for Aatrox and Talon, if copies come naturally, chase them too. At level 7 (around 5-1), you can add 2 Future Warriors (Pantheon/ Riven, Milio) or add Kayn. Prioritize Gods: Varus provides Lesser Neeko and Mini Replicator, convenient for chasing 3-stars. Yasuo provides buff tiles, such as attack speed, healing, mana regen. Kayle provides items. Ekko can turn jungle monsters into Scuttle Crabs, providing more items.

This comp centers around Stargazer Looting Lulu, using Lulu's "Gold Rain" ability to infinitely generate gold, economically overwhelming opponents, and easily chasing multiple 3-star 5-cost champions in the late game. Early on, use 2 Future Warrior with 2 Bastion to activate 2 Fateweaver for transition, prioritizing Guinsoo's Rageblade and Spear of Shojin for Lulu. At 3-2, level to 6, save gold to level to 7. At level 7, slow roll while maintaining interest to find 3-star Lulu, aiming for 3-4 3-star units overall. Once 3-star Lulu is achieved, use her gold generation to quickly level to 8, adding Jax to activate 3 Stargazer. At level 9, add 5-cost units like Sona.

This comp leverages the sturdy shields of Juggernauts as its core, integrating the law control of Judges, the summoned units of Shepherds, and the powerful mana regen of Oracles, forming an ironclad formation with top-tier tankiness, high-frequency crowd control, and sustained damage. Early on, use Leona, Lissandra, Sapling, Mordekaiser, Zoe for transition, activating 2 Juggernaut, 2 Judge, 2 Oracle. At levels 7-8, find core 4-cost units. In the mid-game, add Illaoi, Karma, LeBlanc, Nunu to activate 2 Judge, 3 Shepherd, 4 Juggernaut traits, maximizing tankiness and damage.

This comp centers around the massive mana regeneration from 5 Oracles, allowing backline units to quickly cast abilities; paired with 4 Juggernauts providing a sturdy shield and damage reduction for the frontline, ensuring the core carries have enough time to deal damage. Early on, level to 4 at 2-1, and 5 at 2-5. Use Leona, Nasus, Mordekaiser, Illaoi to activate Juggernaut trait. Illaoi with Juggernaut trait is extremely stable, allowing for easy win streak transitions. In the mid-game, level to 6 at 3-2, and 7 at 4-1. Add Zoe and Miss Fortune to activate Oracle trait, and the comp is largely formed. At level 7, slow roll to get Miss Fortune and Illaoi to 3-star. Prioritize core items for Miss Fortune and Illaoi. Later, at 4-5 or 5-1, level to 8. Complete the final traits by adding Nunu and Aurelion Sol. With Oracle's high mana regen, you can instantly melt the enemy frontline.

Gameplay Strategy
This is the only comp in S17 that allows for intentionally losing streaks to build economy, then directly activating at level 8 to steal 3-star 4-costs, requiring minimal strategy to easily climb. Mecha units have high base stats and save economy, making it ideal for losing streaks to stabilize HP. Early on, use 2 Future Warrior + Sea Monster to lose streak, accumulating refreshes and building economy. Around 3-5, level to 7, you can roll a bit for quality, adding Urgot and Maokai to activate 4 Brawler trait. Around 4-1, level to 8 and start rolling, aiming for Aurelion Sol, Galio, and Master Yi, ensuring the main carry Aurelion Sol and main tank Galio have their three core items. If Master Yi isn't 3-star, Fiora can replace him. Viktor can be replaced by Bard.

| Twisted Fate | Main Carry | Nashor's Tooth、Nashor's Tooth、Banshee's Veil (Assuming Banshee's Veil based on typical magic AP item, but Chinese name could be different, '魔法帽' usually Rabadon's. Let's use Banshee's Veil assuming a new item or a common player nickname for a specific item, given the context of burst.) Correction: "班克斯的魔法帽" is often a variant of Rabadon's/AP item. I'll translate it as "Banshee's Magical Hat" or "Banshee's AP Cap" to distinguish it from Rabadon's, but it's likely a custom name for a similar item. It sounds like an augment name or a special item. Let's use "Bank's Magical Hat" as a literal translation for now. Re-correction: This sounds like an augment. Given it's an item slot, it should be an item. "班克斯的魔法帽" (Ban Ke Si De Mo Fa Mao) likely refers to a powerful AP item. It might be a custom item name for a specific set. I will use "Banshee's Magic Hat" for now, as it's a direct translation of the common name. No, "班克斯" is likely "Banshee" as a name. So "Banshee's Magic Hat". I'll use "Bank's Magical Hat" for literal translation, but know it might be an augment. Final decision: It's a unique item name for the set. I'll use Bank's Magical Hat. | |

This comp is built around 9 key units, using Twisted Fate as a low-cost core carry, and leveraging the synergistic effects of Stargazer and Fateweaver traits to create a multi-carry system that balances offense and defense. Early on, use 1-cost Aatrox, Caitlyn, Talon, Twisted Fate, and 2-cost Jax to form 3 Stargazer, 2 Novastar, 2 Bastion traits.

This comp cleverly combines the tankiness of Brawlers with the damage of PsyOps, featuring the "self-destructing" Gragas for added fun and strength. The core strategy is to have a resilient frontline and sustained backline damage, with Gragas's self-destruct instantly clearing nearby frontline units. The main traits are 6 Brawler and 4 PsyOps, with 2 Berserker as a supporting trait. Early on, use Briar, Rek'Sai, Bel'Veth, Gragas for transition, prioritizing defensive items for Gragas to stabilize HP and maintain a win streak. In the mid-game, add Urgot and Maokai to activate 4 Brawler, 2 Berserker, 2 PsyOps traits.

This is an S17 comp that relies on the "Phantom" payout trait. Playable conditions include starting with 3 Phantom units, or being on a 4-loss streak with suitable items by 3-2 at the latest. The comp is typically fully assembled at level 7, consisting of Leona, Sapling, Jinx, Illaoi, Diana, Alune, LeBlanc, forming a multi-trait system. Later, you can add Rhaast, Galio, Morgana, etc. The Phantom stacks depend on the loss streak, aiming for multiples of 100 for payout. Intentionally lose streak, then at 3-5 or 3-7, level to 7 and small roll to maintain interest. After the payout, big roll for at least one 3-star 3-cost to stabilize HP. Unless there are many competing players, chase 3-star before leveling up to add Kayn.

Early on, at level 5, use Leona, Lissandra, Sapling, Mordekaiser, Zoe and other high-quality low-cost units for a stable transition. Accumulate economy to prepare for mid-game comp transition.

After the hotfix, 3-star 4-cost sneak plays are less likely. This is currently the comp with the highest win rate, ideal if you have good economy. It revolves around Aatrox and Akali from the Novastar trait. Aatrox provides armor shred for the entire team, and Akali grants critical strike chance to all, significantly boosting the damage of 5-cost units like Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The comp is typically fully assembled at level 9, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, Graves, forming multiple traits. Early on, prioritize 3 Sea Monster with AD items or Bel'Veth with attack speed items for transition. Based on economy, HP, and presence of other players, choose to level to 9 at 4-2 / 4-5 / 4-7 to start big rolling.

This is currently the easiest 4-cost comp to lose streak and stabilize HP, with flexible construction and lower cost, especially suitable for magic/tank item transitions or losing streak starts. TFT's Aurelion Sol's 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 comp pairing consists of Urgot, Viktor, Galio, Tahm Kench, Master Yi, Aurelion Sol, forming 6 Mecha, 2 Brawler, 2 Berserker, 2 PsyOps. This comp, paired with Tahm Kench's solo trait effect, makes it easy to steal 3-star 4-costs. Early on, use 2 Future Warrior / 3 Phantom / 3 Sea Monster for transition, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, level to 8 and big roll, building the recommended comp based on what you find, remembering to transform all Mecha units. Once Aurelion Sol and Galio are 2-star, save gold, then decide whether to level to 9 or chase 3-stars based on competing players.

In S17, "EZ Cho'Gath" represents infinite growth, a reroll comp that maximizes frontline durability and late-game scaling. The core is driven by the dual carries: Future Warrior Ezreal and Brawler Cho'Gath. The comp primarily revolves around two 1-cost units to build 4 Future Warrior + 2 Dark Star + 4 Brawler, forming the final comp at nine units. It's recommended to play this comp if you have lucky draws for Ezreal and Cho'Gath at the start. Use system units directly for transition early, do not level up, you can use Future Warrior to lose streak and accumulate refreshes. After Krugs, big roll for system cards at 4 units.

In TFT S17, various looting comps are rampant. This comp revolves around multiple 4-cost champions, forming a super versatile patchwork looting comp. The core strength lies in the AP bonus from 5 Shepherd trait, Nami's high-frequency AoE damage paired with multiple crowd controls. Play this comp if you have many magic items or an economy augment at the start. Transition methods: 2 Juggernaut + 3 Shepherd + 2 Dark Star, with Teemo holding items; or 2 Future Warrior + 3 Sea Monster, with Milio holding items.

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 has perfect items and is 3-star, combined with the dual resistances of 6 Juggernauts, almost no comp can withstand this onslaught. Early on at level 5, use Leona, Nasus, Teemo, Mordekaiser, Illaoi, to form Juggernaut and Shepherd traits. At level 7, add Lissandra, Zoe, to activate 2 Judge and 2 Dark Star.

Gameplay Strategy
In S17, the strongest emblem is Space Groove, and Riven is its best fit. Riven has a short mana bar, allowing her to frequently trigger the Space Groove trait effect. Combined with Riven's inherent mixed damage mechanism and the dual attack/AP bonus from 5 Space Groove, she perfectly fits, easily slicing through the backline upon entry.
Early Game Transition (Stages 1-3):
With Spatula or Space Groove Emblem:
Option One: 3 Space Groove with Juggernauts for transition. Gwen holds Riven's items, tank items go to Mordekaiser.
Option Two: 3 Sea Monster + 2 Future Warrior for the classic formulaic transition.
Mid Game Power Spike (Stages 4-5):
Around 3-5, level to 7, prioritizing 5 Space Groove + 3 Shepherd + 2 Juggernaut for transition.
Around 4-2, directly level to 8.
Prioritize finding Tahm Kench and Nunu, two core units. If you get a Space Groove Emblem, immediately give it to Riven. Then, slow roll, getting Riven, Nami, Nunu or Tahm Kench all to 2-star, stabilize the board quality, then stop rolling and save gold.
Late Game Optimization (Stages 6+):
After reaching level 9, add Shen, replace Nasus with Blitzcrank and get him to 2-star.
Augment Recommendations:
Priority Choices: Spatula-related augments / Emblem-related augments (provide 1 economy + 1 combat power, quickly level to 9): Branching Out, Nautilus' Spatula Tactic, Spreading Roots, Trait Tree.

Practical Tips:
Riven's positioning: Easily cuts through the backline upon entry.
Nunu's positioning: Primarily acts as crowd control.
Blitzcrank and Shen's positioning: Not traditional tank units, perform better with off-tank fighter items.
Riven item consideration: Titan's Resolve perfectly fits Riven's mixed damage output, providing max dual resistances and CC immunity when fully stacked; Bloodthirster provides stable sustain, ensuring continuous combat.
Nami item consideration: Requires dual mana generation items (e.g., Spear of Shojin + Nashor's Tooth), won't lack damage if Space Groove triggers.

The core of this comp utilizes Samira's passive mechanic: as long as an enemy is knocked up/airborne, she immediately triggers a sweeping auto-attack.

Gameplay Strategy
This S17 comp is suitable for beginners or when augments aren't suitable for high-cost comps, just starting out, or when under increasing pressure. It's a strong 3-cost reroll comp that can steadily climb ranks. The core idea is to quickly chase 3-star Samira, utilizing her high burst to clean up.
Practical Advanced Tips
Utilizing S17 Mecha Aurelion Sol's Backline Bypass Mechanism: In the TFT S17 patch, Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to deal damage to enemy backline units. This gives Mecha comps a huge advantage against traditional, sturdy frontline enemy compositions. For positioning, consider placing Aurelion Sol diagonally opposite the enemy's main carry to maximize his damage efficiency. Simultaneously, combine with Galio's tankiness and crowd control to effectively protect Aurelion Sol and create a damage window for him.
Flexible Economy Management for High-Cost Comps: For high-cost comps, early economy accumulation is key. Besides traditional economy augments, you can also use 3 Sea Monster or 2 Future Warrior for a win streak transition, or gain benefits from losing streaks with Phantom. Based on the special mechanism where 2-cost units appear more often in stage 2, prioritize using 3 Sea Monster for a win streak transition. When rolling in the mid-game, flexibly assess HP and the presence of other players to decide whether to level to 9 for 5-cost units, or to chase 3-star 4-cost units at level 8, avoiding forced leveling that could lead to economic collapse and HP loss.
Item Prioritization and Flexible Adaptation for Multi-Carry Comps: In multi-carry comps like Stargazer Sniper Xayah and Sapling Nine-Five Jhin, ensuring the core offensive items for main carries Xayah/Jhin are in place is paramount. Simultaneously, items for secondary carries Jhin/Vex should follow closely. Flexibly adjust positioning to counter different opponents, ensuring core damage dealers have a safe output position. In the late game, adjust item configurations in time according to the battlefield changes to fully unleash the multi-carry advantage.
Countering and Being Countered by Chosen Fortune's Immortal Builds: In Chosen Fortune mode, while Immortal Zilean and Irelia are strong, their operational difficulty lies in a strict reliance on specific Chosen champions and core items. Zilean must be 3-star with full items to consistently revive and stack HP; Irelia requires Divine Bladechosen and fixed items like Archangel Staff, Titan's Resolve, Bloodthirster. Furthermore, be wary of champions like Lee Sin and Seraphine who can remove units from the battlefield. They are natural counters to immortal builds.
Economy and Quality Balance for S16.8 Yordle Trait: In S16.8, both "Lulu's Ingenuity Yordle" and "Yordle Nine-Five 2.0" fully utilized the Yordle trait's free refresh and loot bag reward mechanism. When playing, effectively use "Lulu's Ingenuity" to transform 3-star low-cost units into high-cost units, potentially even getting 3-star 5-cost units. If the economy is healthy, at level 8, activate 8 Yordle trait for additional rewards, then at level 9, replace some Yordle units with high-quality 5-cost units to further boost the overall strength and ceiling of the comp.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The pace in the early S17 patch is relatively slow. Prioritize using 3 Sea Monster for a win streak transition or 2 Future Warrior for a loss streak economy. In this environment, high-cost Nine-Five and comps that sneak 3-star 4-costs are top choices for winning. If early transition is smooth and economy is good, you can choose Novastar Nine-Five. If you want to roll for quality at level 8, Mecha 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 Star God Fateweaver Twisted Fate are good strategies for stabilizing points.
The operational difficulty of these two immortal comps lies in their extreme reliance on specific Chosen champions and core items. Zilean needs to be 3-star with full items to consistently revive all allies and stack HP; Irelia requires Divine Bladechosen and fixed items like Archangel Staff, Titan's Resolve, and Bloodthirster to achieve true damage with high HP. If you cannot get key Chosen champions or core items smoothly in the early game, 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, as they are natural counters to immortal comps.
For S16.8 comps like Demacia Mell and Freljord Elders, when facing magic comps, Demacia Mell's Taric provides magic resistance, while Freljord Elders rely on Ornn's tankiness and dual ice tower crowd control. You can prioritize stacking magic resistance items like Dragon's Claw and Spirit Visage on the frontline. When facing physical comps, focus more on physical defense items like Gargoyle Stoneplate and Bramble Vest. Moreover, the Freljord trait's resistance shred and damage amplification effects boost all damage output, while Demacia's Radiant items can be adjusted based on the carry's damage type. For example, giving Mell or Lux magic burst items, or Shyvana physical sustain items, allows for flexible adaptation.
