TFT Set 18 Tier List: Top Comps for Easy LP

1. T0 and T1 Tier Comps for Climbing

The current set features a mix of 4-cost carry strategies and low-cost reroll comps. Win rates are based on official real-time data. Based on recent matches and high-rank gameplay, T0 tier comps include:

• Destiny Level 9: Extremely hard to complete, requiring level 9 to find 5-costs. Average win rate around 15% (based on official data). Core units: Nora, Yuumi, Xerath, etc. Relies on the Destiny trait for buffs, unstoppable late game.
• Syndra Mage: Medium difficulty, can stabilize at 7, fully complete at 8. Average win rate around 12%. Core: Syndra and Ryze, with Mage trait, high burst and CC.
• Heavy Neeko: Medium difficulty, complete at 8. Average win rate around 11%. Neeko provides shields, Heavy front line, stable backline damage.

T1 tier comps include:

• Destiny Varus: Medium difficulty, complete at 8. Average win rate around 10%. Varus pierces, boosted by Destiny trait.
• Hunter Olaf: Low difficulty, can stabilize at 7. Average win rate around 9%. Olaf attacks fast, lifesteals, strong mid-game.
• Fortress Scholar: Medium difficulty, complete at 8. Average win rate around 8%. Fortress tanks, Scholar mana, Karma or Azir carry.
• Infernal Shen: Low difficulty, can stabilize at 6. Average win rate around 8%. Shen taunts, Infernal burns, good for fast games.

Data from recent high-rank stats; actual win rates may vary with patches. Always refer to official data.

2. Reroll vs. Level 9 Comp Viability

Low-cost reroll comps (like Infernal Shen, Hunter Olaf) have a fast early game, rolling at 3-2, stabilizing at 5-6. They are great when you have the right items or high rolls. Their advantage is early completion, healthy HP, and consistent top 4s, but they fall off late game against level 9 comps, with lower win rates.

Level 9 comps (like Destiny Level 9, Syndra Mage) focus on late game, using strong early units (like Sera, Tahm) to transition, leveling to 8 at 4-2 for 4-costs, and 9 at 5-1 for 5-costs. Once complete, they dominate, but risk early HP loss or econ collapse, leading to 8th place.

Viability: Reroll comps are better in lower ranks (Gold and below) due to fast pace and simple play. High ranks (Diamond+) prefer level 9 comps for their higher ceiling. The current meta is balanced, but reroll is more item and 3-star dependent, while level 9 requires econ and HP management. Adapt based on your rolls and items.

3. Core Mechanics, Regions, and Anomalies Tips

This set's core mechanics include:

• Destiny trait: Provides base stats and affects specific unit abilities (e.g., Varus targeting, Xerath range). Tip: Prioritize 2 Destiny for tankiness and damage, later go 4 Destiny for your main carry.
• Region effects: Special terrains like Piltover (free rerolls) or Zaun (Hextech bonuses). Tip: Adapt strategy based on region; e.g., Ixtal gives elemental bonuses, good for reroll comps; Freljord freezes enemies, good for CC comps.
• Anomalies: New augments like "Junkyard" drop item components, good for reroll; "Level Up!" gives XP, good for level 9. Tip: Check augments early; if you get "Pandora's Items", go for multi-carry comps; if econ augments, prioritize leveling.

Combat tips: Position your main carry safely, tanks in front (e.g., Neeko center front, Syndra back corner). Against assassins, surround your carry with tanks. Items: prioritize core items (Guinsoo, Deathcap, GA) then utility (Locket, Zephyr).
