BEGINNER'S TEAMFIGHT TACTICS GUIDE | TFT Strategies and Fundamentals

READ PINNED COMMENT FOR SET 10
Regarding Set 11 (and all future sets tbh): certain numbers or details will inevitably be subject to change as the game is iterated on and receives updates. However, I created this guide with the intention of focusing on fundamental skills that are applicable for beginners regardless of unique set mechanics (such as Legends or Headliner).

00:00 Intro
00:46 Basic Mechanics
15:03 Beginner Strategies & Guidelines
17:47 Intermediate Strategies & Concepts
24:37 Advanced Topics
26:09 Extra Resources & Closing Thoughts

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE RELEASE OF SET 10:
Some of the specific numbers I've given in this video ARE subject to change in future sets. For example, it was confirmed today that the level cap would be raised from 9 to 10, and that they would be adjusting shop odds accordingly. While we don't yet know how exactly the shop odds will be changed, this also has the potential to affect what level is optimal for reroll comps. Mortdog also mentioned the possibility of adjusting the Champion Pool for each cost in the future, with the 4 cost pool being adjusted from 12 copies to 11. Legends will also NOT be returning in Set 10, and portals will remain, but we won't be seeing portals as disruptive as The Sump or House Lightshield. Furthermore, they've replaced 2 items, RFC and Night Harvester, with Red Buff and Steadfast Heart respectively. Some existing items also received balance changes. They've also added the new core set 10 mechanic called Headliners. A Headliner is a unit that is bought for 3 times the standard cost but is immediately a 2-star unit, and gets a "Headliner buff" (most champs just get extra AD or HP or AP, some have more interesting effects). Headliners will also contribute an extra +1 for one of their traits.

Despite these adjustments, almost all of the underlying concepts presented in this video should still apply to future sets. Managing your Item Economy, timing your power spikes, etc. will always be important skills in TFT, but the specific numbers may require adjustments in how it is executed.

I'm not sure yet if I will be creating an updated video for Set 10, since it would be very time consuming to replace all of the clips and visuals, even with only minor adjustments to the actual content. My intention in creating this guide in the first place was to give people a primer on the fundamentals of TFT while mentioning as little set-specific information as possible (although examples are sometimes needed, of course). Personally, I feel like I've done at least a decent job at this, and redoing the most time-consuming part of the process just to present the same information as before seems a bit exhausting tbh.

Regardless, thanks for watching the video and reading this wall of text!

EDIT (November 14, 2023): There have been a lot of changes to the PBE almost every day until now, but ALL of the unit pool sizes have now changed (sizes are now 22/20/17/10/9 for 1/2/3/4/5 cost units). The set 10 mechanic, Headliners, also received a HUGE change this morning where a headliner will only appear if at least half of the unit's pool is still available.

Exactly what I needed! Found most of the guides seemed split-specific, this is what I was looking for! Thanks <3

[yanpoo]

i thought at first you was like a very famous TFT youtuber, my friend plays TFT he is diamond and i wanna play the game too, this guide is so helpful but the game is still hard/overwhelming for me 😂, thanks for the video the editing is clean and the explanation is very good and clear

I started playing in the very beginning, but didn’t stick around. I learned the basics of the underlying mechanics going on, but that’s it. Came back for a super short stint a while ago, didn’t learn the game really, just played one specific reroll comp and got bored. Now I’m picking it up but for real this time, and yeah, true beginner resources are so scarce. Everyone seems to give such meta specific advice, I really just want the basic fundamentals. Thanks for this.

FYZZL WITH THE BANGER CONTENT AS USUAL LETS GO STAR STRUCK EMOJI

[brandonou]

I literally climbed from bronze to plat after this 😍😍😍

[xilllllix]

keep seeing this game near the top of twitch so i figured i gotta take a closer look at it and play it

[jiffey_faux]

Hey, I'm super old and slow as far as LoL players go... Was a plat back in 2012 or so but dropped off and havent played much at all since 2013 or 2014.... Absolutely insane how much things have changed with champ redesigns and stuff.

This seems like a great compromise to get my League fix in again! Sadly life has gotten in the way and I cant commit the time needed to play even normals in LoL.

Thanks for the video, maybe I'll run into you in game some day :).
