Our TFT tier list is here for when you feel overwhelmed by the amount of choices you have. Teamfight Tactics is League of Legends' answer to the auto-chess battler genre. Of course, just like real chess, you need to be strategic. That principle applies here, as you must work out which champions will lead you to victory, and which ones will have you waving that little white flag faster than you can say "checkmate."
Our Teamfight Tactics tier list focuses on the set 18 meta and is designed to show you which champions are best suited to you and your intended playstyle.
Oh, and Teamfight Tactics has a rotation of available champions. Approximately every three months, a new set is released, or half a set - essentially a partial change to the roster. So be sure to check back here for the next rotation, when we will compile another tier list.
Here are our TFT tier lists for champions, traits, and items.

What is a Teamfight Tactics set?
In a nutshell, a set is the range of champions and traits on offer. Every so often, Riot will shake its auto-battler up by removing characters for a while and introducing different ones. It helps to keep the game fresh and interesting. Traits bring about different team comps and themes to play with, too!
That's a wrap on our TFT tier list! We hope you found it useful and now prove to be a master strategist on the board.
