The version update strengthened Space Groove, 7 Space Groove provides infinite stacking damage bonuses, maxing out output. Utilize the 7 Space Groove synergy effect, using a reroll strategy to quickly roll for core three-star units, forming a strong, off-meta composition. Starting with Space Groove Emblem, Treasure Hunt, or Double Up Defense Hextech Augments is optimal.

Early Game Transition (Stages 1-3): In the early game, use Future for transition, and use Sniper units to hold items. At 4 population, use 3 Space Groove synergy for transition. If starting quality is low, you can use Future Warrior or Ocean Soul synergy for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold, and level up using interest.

Mid Game Power Spike (Stages 4-5): At 5 population, you can choose 2 Dark Star synergy for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold, and level up using interest. Prioritizing Treasure Hunt or Double Up Defense Hextech Augments, or obtaining Space Groove Emblem and having many B.F. Swords is optimal. Activate at level 7, chase three-star Samira and Ornn. 7 Population: Start rolling for units. Rolling a two-star Samira or two-star Ornn will stabilize your HP. At this population level, stay at 20 interest. Once you roll three-star Samira or three-star Ornn, you can level up. If Blitzcrank appears early, prioritize getting 7 Space Groove.

Late Game Refinement (Stages 6+): 8 Population: Use 2 Sniper synergy for transition. If you don't have Blitzcrank, prioritize getting 3 Star Guardian synergy. 9 Population: Roll for two-star high-cost units within the composition to complete it. After maxing out unit quality, pay attention to whether opponents might steal three-star 4-cost units, and block them in time. Level up to activate 7 Space Groove, and the composition is complete.

This is a high-cost economy composition that transitions well. Once completed, it has board-clearing capabilities and is extremely strong. Prioritize choosing this if you have high-quality Shepherd units at the start that can secure win streaks. The difficulty is higher, requiring mastery of economy management and rolling timings.

Early Game Transition (Stages 1-3): 4 Population: Use 2 Juggernaut for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold to level up using interest. If starting quality is poor, consider using Future Warrior or Ocean Soul synergy for transition. Mid Game Power Spike (Stages 4-5): 5 Population: Use 3 Shepherd for transition. 6 Population: Use 2 Judge for transition. 7 Population: Use 3 Juggernaut for transition. For economy management, still prioritize saving 50 gold to level up using interest. At 5 population, prioritize crafting items for Sona and Nunu. Give them to backline and frontline units for transition, then transfer them to the final carries later. At 7 population, prioritize choosing economy-based or combat-based Hextech Augments. The Judge effect is best if it provides free rerolls or gold economy. Late Game Refinement (Stages 6+): 8 Population: Start rolling for two-star Nami and two-star Nunu to stabilize HP and prepare to level up. 9 Population: Start rolling for two-star high-cost units within the composition to complete it. If HP is above 60, consider pushing to level 9 before rolling. If HP is below 30 and there are other players competing for units, consider if you can steal three-star 4-cost units at this population level to win. If all other players' units are already two-star, you can level up to 9 to increase the composition's ceiling. After rolling enough quality, observe the board to avoid having three-star 4-cost units stolen (blocked). Remember to block units.

Operation Strategy

Gragas's Hero Augment is stronger if you have Sympathy. For Hextech Augments and Divine items, try to choose those that deal burst damage. It's best if you can eliminate the enemy's main Tank with two abilities. Position Gragas in the middle of the first row, with only two of the toughest Tanks on either side, to group enemies and hit more targets. Pyke should be placed in the back row to more easily hook the backline. The Artifacts that provide the greatest boost are Bracers and Luden's Echo. If you don't have Sympathy, aim for it. If you have Sympathy, Hand of Justice is a good alternative. Focus purely on burst damage.

Zed can theoretically be integrated into any composition. The simplest and strongest formula is to replace Graves's position in Nova Nomsy, as there aren't enough B.F. Swords. Frontline Maokai and Tahm Kench have better stats than Blitzcrank and Nunu, because Maokai can help Zed regenerate HP. When you can't play Nomsy, there aren't many strong physical 8-4 compositions in Teamfight Tactics, which feels somewhat restrictive. In regular TFT (Cloud), it can smoothly integrate into Corki and Master Yi systems.

This is a high-cost economy composition that transitions well, belonging to the off-meta rank-stealing archetype. Starting with Xayah or recommended Ornn Artifacts and many attack speed items is optimal. In the early game, 4 population: use 2 Sniper, 2 Bastion for transition. Prioritize saving 50 gold to level up using interest. If starting with no quality units, you can use Future Warrior or Ocean Soul synergy for transition. At 5 population, use 2 Nova Corps for transition. At 6 population, add 1 Redeemer. At 7 population, add 2 Bruiser. Prioritize taking item-based or combat-based Hextech Augments. If there are Artifact Augments or Ekko (Divine Augment), take them to raise the composition's ceiling. At 8 population, start rolling for two-star Xayah and two-star Nunu to complete the composition. Pay close attention to whether there are other players competing for units. Consider if you can steal three-star 4-cost units at this population level to win. If all other players' units are already two-star, you can level up to 9 to increase the composition's ceiling. At 9 population, start rolling for two-star high-cost units within the composition to complete it.

Operation Strategy

This Nova Zed is a branch of the Nova Nomsy composition. Zed's core mechanic is that his clones inherit item properties and can infinitely clone, leading to absurd damage density. Once completed, it's basically a T0 tier composition with a very high ceiling. In the early game, you can transition with normal win streaks, using 3 Ocean Soul or 3 Future systems, or Shepherd. Prioritize crafting Edge of Night and Guinsoo's Rageblade. Mid-game, usually around 4-5 / 5-1, gather your units. It's customary to start rolling at level 9, following the rhythm of Nova Nomsy. It's not recommended to lose streak; you need enough HP to reach 4-2 to get Zed. If early lose streaking puts your HP at risk, appropriately roll units at 4-2 to maintain quality. Godslayer Shadow Assassin (Zed Exclusive) is a must-take Augment. Additionally, you can choose Large Economy Hextech Augments or Ahri (Divine choice) to help you reach level 9 faster to find two-star Zed. Position Zed in the backline or corners.

Operation Strategy

At the start, prioritize getting 3 Phantom and lose streaking to stably stack 300-500 stacks of Battle Bunny Crossbow for Jinx to hold items for transition. Throughout the game, prioritize grabbing items to craft Diana's core three items. At 7 population, do small rolls to find two-star core units to stabilize HP, slowly chasing three-star Diana. If LeBlanc hasn't appeared, you can add 3 Shepherd or 3 Judge units to hold items. Do not level up population before the core unit is three-star. At 8 population, after Diana is three-star, prioritize adding Galio to strengthen frontline tankiness. Save 50 interest to slowly level up, ensuring a healthy economy. At 9 population, complete the composition by adding Karma to activate 4 Traveler synergy, officially completing the composition. Prioritize giving excess items to frontline tank units. Give AP items to Alune, and AD items to Jinx. Subsequently, slowly chase three-star 4-cost units to further stabilize HP and secure a win. The Judge Karma effect must provide 10 damage + 15% max HP shield, synergizing with Diana's own shield to achieve infinite shields, causing the frontline to take almost no damage. If you cannot gather 3 Phantom at the start or have a large lose streak, leading to insufficient Battle Bunny Crossbow stacks, the composition's strength will drop off. Diana and Alune are fixed dual carries. In the late game, you can chase three-star LeBlanc as a replacement for a higher ceiling. The frontline can flexibly replace with high-tankiness units.

Operation Strategy

In the early game, rely on Juggernaut units paired with backline units for a stable transition, such as Illaoi, Nunu, etc. Prioritize crafting LeBlanc's core offensive items, such as Guinsoo's Rageblade, Jeweled Gauntlet. At the start, immediately check the Judge refresh modifier. Prioritize locking in the 'every 4 seconds + 10 Mana' modifier. Focus on accumulating economy in the early game; do not blindly roll for units. Prioritize getting 4 Juggernaut synergy to stabilize HP in the game, using strong two-star units to maintain board strength. At stage 4-2, promptly level up to 8 population, focusing on rolling for core LeBlanc and completing the 4 Juggernaut system. Once all units are two-star, you gain HP stabilization. If unit appearances are abundant, you can naturally chase three-star LeBlanc to raise the ceiling. Level up to 9 population to complete the final composition change, replacing Lil' Spirit with Nasus and Blitzcrank to form 6 Juggernaut synergy. Allocate excess defensive items to Nunu to further enhance the frontline's overall damage absorption capability. Frontline Juggernaut heroes build a sturdy defense, while offensive heroes like LeBlanc and Karma are safely positioned in the backline. Flexibly adjust LeBlanc's positioning according to enemy dive units or area damage to ensure her damage output space. If the Judge modifier refreshes with a HP shield effect at the start, you can immediately abandon the 'Iron Striker' system and directly transition to playing 'Infinite Shield Diana', allowing for flexible switching between two playstyles.

Operation Strategy

In the early game, don't rush to level up. After getting 'Starforged' at 2-1, use Twisted Fate, Talon to get 3 Star Guardian first, then save money for interest. If you naturally have 3 Star Guardian plus a two-star frontline, and Jax has an item, you can aim for win streaks at the start. Level up to 6 population at 3-2. This is the most crucial roll. Immediately do a large roll down to around 30 gold, rolling for two-star Jax and the basic composition. Two-star Jax is strong in the early game and can support slow rolling for three-star. Slow roll around 30/50 gold. You must find three-star Jax before 4-1. After three-star Jax, immediately save money to level up. Prioritize chasing three-star Jax, followed by three-star Pantheon and Milio. Having one three-star in front and one in back is enough to go to level 7, then level 8, no need to wait for all to be three-star. At level 8, add Kayn (or Morgana). If conditions allow, continue chasing Lulu and Maokai. In the late game, you generally play until the end at level 8. If HP is healthy, you can go to 9 and add 5-cost units. Recommended to stand in the left 'toilet' position (corner), flexibly adjusting based on Star Guardian hex positions. Pantheon is the strongest main tank. If he doesn't appear, he can be replaced by Maokai or Rammus. If still not available, find other tanks. For secondary carries, you can choose other two-star 4-cost or 5-cost damage heroes.

Operation Strategy

Oracle Laser Aurelion Sol is a popular composition in the current version, especially effective against single-tank compositions, capable of quickly clearing their HP bars. The core lies in the pure burst damage of two-star 4-cost frontliners and two-star Aurelion Sol, and activating 3 Oracle at level 9 to raise the ceiling. This is not a mindless composition; it requires precise economy management and itemization. If you can roll two-star frontliners and two-star Aurelion Sol in the first few rounds of Stage 4, you can stably stabilize HP and secure a top finish. It's slightly inferior to T0 compositions in this version, but once completed, it has top-four potential. When other compositions aren't working out, it can be a strong alternative for transitioning. The operation difficulty is higher; it's 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 units, looking for two-star Aurelion Sol and two-star frontliners. 4-2 is the crucial timing for rolling. Leveling to 8 too early will crash your economy, while too late might lead to defeat by other completed compositions. Prioritize crafting Aurelion Sol's Jeweled Gauntlet and the main tank's Frozen Heart. Afterward, complete Aurelion Sol's second offensive item and frontline tank items. If HP is healthy, economy is good, and unit appearances are favorable, go to 9 population to add Bard or Sona, activating 3 Oracle to raise the ceiling. Aurelion Sol should be positioned in a corner for safe damage output. The main tank should be in the very front to absorb damage. The frontline can be spread out in a line or be a single tank. Prioritize economy-based augments, such as 'Ahri' (provides gold and experience) or other augments that help reach 8 population by stage 4-2, ensuring enough economy to roll for units.

The core of this composition is to achieve an 'infinite spell' effect for Zoe, dealing massive damage, through the Judge synergy's 10 damage and mana generation effect, combined with Ekko's Patience item. It is a T0 tier, high-strength composition in this version, relatively simple to operate, suitable for players seeking high burst and perpetual abilities. In the early game, prioritize using Ocean Soul synergy to randomly obtain Leona and Zoe. At level 5, you can field 2 Future Warrior to increase reroll chances. The goal is to activate before level 6 and find three-star Zoe in one go. In the mid-game, when the Judge's 10 damage and mana regeneration effect can synergize with Ekko's Patience, infinite spells can be achieved. Prioritize securing Zoe's key items. In the late game, level up population to add higher quality heroes. Use Nunu as a crowd control point, and LeBlanc and Karma provide additional value and utility. Prioritize choosing God-Forged Forge, Dormant Forge, Noble Adventure augments. Special augments can include Yasuo's Starlight Hex or Varus's Duplicator. The composition's advantage lies in Zoe's high burst and sustained damage from infinite spells. The climbing advice is to seize the early to mid-game rhythm, quickly reach three-star Zoe and gather core items.

In Teamfight Tactics S17 Astro Season 17.3 version, 'Infinite Laser Aurelion Sol' has become a strong choice. This version significantly increased Aurelion Sol's overall stats, transforming his damage output. The composition is built around Aurelion Sol as a pure damage system, utilizing Oracle synergy for efficient mana regeneration to continuously unleash lasers and suppress opponents. Simple to operate and easy to pick up, both beginners and female TFT players can confidently use it. In the early game, prioritize using Shepherd synergy for transition and economy. Pre-build Aurelion Sol's items and give them to Lissandra to hold. For Astro Blessing, prioritize choosing AP-related items, crafting Aurelion Sol's core item Rabadon's Deathcap as early as possible. You can also choose to lose streak with Phantom to accumulate resources. Mid-game, at stages 4-1 to 4-2, level up to 8 population. Start rolling for the core units of the entire system, getting main units to 2-star to stably stabilize HP. If you cannot get 4 Juggernaut synergy, directly use Galio to fill the frontline position to ensure overall tankiness. In the late game, once Aurelion Sol successfully reaches 2-star, you can fully push for high population. At 9 population, complete 3 Oracle synergy to accelerate spell rotation. Prioritize crafting resistance reduction items to maximize Aurelion Sol's laser damage output. You can also field Kayn for additional utility. Recommended augments include economy-based ones (Four-Cost Squad, Late Game Expert, etc.) and offensive ones (Seraph's Embrace, Tailored Fit, etc.).

Operation Strategy

This is a high-cost economy composition focused on economy management and late-game high-cost unit completion to dominate the game. The core damage dealer is Graves. His skill upgrade prioritizes the Warrior template, then continuously clicks Lead Rain until Laser Barrage appears. After the hotfix, the chance of three-star 4-cost sneak wins has decreased. This is currently the highest win rate composition; it's the first choice if your economy is good. It revolves around Nova synergy with Aatrox and Akali. Aatrox provides resistance shred for all, and Akali grants critical strike to all, greatly boosting the output of 5-cost units Graves, Fiora, and Vex. The standard composition is completed at level 9, consisting of Aatrox, Akali, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Fiora, Shen, Morgana, and Graves, forming multiple synergies. In the early game, prioritize 3 Ocean Soul with AD items or Urgot with attack speed items for transition. Choose to activate a big roll at 4-2 / 4-5 / 4-7 to level up to 9, depending on economy, HP, and competitor situations. Around 50 HP, roll for two-star main tank + two two-star carries, then level up using the 10 gold interest. After maxing out unit quality, be sure to observe other players' boards to avoid having three-star 4-cost units stolen (blocked). Pay attention to unit blocking strategies.

In Teamfight Tactics, Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to hit the backline. Its T0.5 strength makes it playable every game. The conventional composition consists of Urgot, Viktor, Galio, Tahm Kench, Master Yi, and Aurelion Sol, forming 6 Mech, 2 Bruiser, 2 Berserker, 2 Psychic. This composition, combined with Tahm Kench's solo synergy effect, makes it easy to 'steal' three-star 4-cost units. In the early game, use 2 Future / 3 Phantom / 3 Ocean Soul for transition, accumulating economy and perfect items. Around 4-2, go to 8 and do a big roll. Play the recommended composition based on units rolled. Remember to transform all your Mech units. After Aurelion Sol and Galio are two-star, save money. Choose to go to 9 or chase three-star based on competitors.

Advanced Combat Tips

  1. S17 Mech Aurelion Sol's Backline-Bypassing Mechanism: In Teamfight Tactics S17, Aurelion Sol's ability can directly bypass the frontline to deal damage to the enemy backline. This gives Mech compositions a significant advantage against traditional, tanky frontline enemy compositions. For positioning, consider placing Aurelion Sol diagonally opposite the enemy's main carry to maximize his damage output efficiency. Simultaneously, combining Galio's tankiness and crowd control effectively protects Aurelion Sol and creates an optimal environment for his damage.

  2. Flexible Economy Management for High-Cost Compositions: For high-cost economy compositions, early game economy accumulation is crucial. In addition to traditional economy-based Hextech Augments, you can also use 3 Ocean Soul or 2 Future for win streak transitions, or utilize lose streaks for Phantom benefits. Due to the special mechanic of 2-cost units appearing in Stage 2, prioritize using 3 Ocean Soul for win streak transitions. When rolling in the mid-game, flexibly judge your HP and competitor situations to decide whether to level up to 9 to chase 5-cost units, or to chase three-star 4-cost units at level 8, avoiding forced leveling that could lead to an economic and HP collapse.

  3. Item Priority and Flexible Adaptation for Multi-Carry Compositions: In multi-carry compositions like Star Guardian Sniper Xayah and Spirit Nomsy Jhin, it's crucial to prioritize securing core offensive items for the main carries, Xayah / Jhin. Simultaneously, items for secondary carries, Jhin / Vex, should follow closely. Flexibly adjust positioning to counter different opponents, ensuring core damage dealers have safe space to output. In the late game, optimize item configurations in a timely manner based on battle changes, ensuring the full advantage of multi-carry output is realized.

  4. Phantom Stacks and Core Hero Skill Upgrades: For optimizing Phantom stacks, Aurelion Sol and Nova Nomsy perform best when Phantom stacks reach 400 or 500 stacks. For Judge Diana, Phantom stacks are recommended to be at 200 Tentacles or 300 stacks for optimal performance. For Graves's skill upgrades, currently the Bright Blade / Pineapple Graves combination is optimal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In the early S17 version, the pace is relatively slow. In the early game, prioritize using 3 Ocean Soul for win streak transitions or 2 Future for lose streak economy. In this environment, high-cost Nomsy and compositions that 'steal' three-star 4-cost units are the preferred choices for wins. If your early game transition is smooth and economy is healthy, you can choose Nova Nomsy. 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 an unfavorable start, reroll 3-cost compositions like Astro Weaver Cards are also good stable ranking strategies.

The main operational difficulties for these two Million-HP compositions lie in their extreme reliance on specific Chosen units and core items. Zilean requires three-star and full items to stably revive all allies and stack HP. Irelia needs Jadeblade Chosen and must be equipped with Archangel's Staff, Titan's Resolve, and Bloodthirster to achieve Million-HP true damage. If you cannot smoothly obtain key Chosen units or core items in the early game, it will significantly impact the composition's strength and win probability. Additionally, you need to be wary of heroes like Lee Sin and Seraphine who can remove units, as they are natural counters to Million-HP compositions.

For S16.8's Demacia Mel and Freljord Ornn systems: When facing magic compositions, Demacia Mel's Taric provides magic resistance, while Freljord Ornn relies on Ornn's tankiness and double ice tower crowd control. You can prioritize stacking magic resistance items like Dragon's Claw and Spirit Visage on your frontline. When facing physical compositions, focus more on physical defense items like Gargoyle Stoneplate and Thornmail. Furthermore, Freljord synergy's resistance reduction and damage amplification effects boost all damage output. 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.
