Teamfight Tactics Guide: Best Champions Tier List

Recruiting a number of strong champions is the basis of the successful match-up in Teamfight Tactics, a brand new autobattle mode in League of Legends.

With 50 such units in the game, it can get really hard to choose the best of the best.

If you’re new to Teamfight Tactics, and don’t know where to start, then be sure to check out the best champions tier list below for some of the most overpowered units in the game.

Draven

• Origin: Imperial
• Class: Blademaster
• Cost: $4

Draven has undoubtedly been the most consistently powerful champion in Teamfight Tactics.

Even when his Spinning Axes ability got nerfed, which now costs 50 mana to activate, it is still one of the best passive abilities you can have in this game.

His origin is also very fitting for any DPS composition, and if you have four Imperials on board, then all your damage is doubled up. Try to beat that!

Sejuani

• Origin: Glacial
• Class: Knight
• Cost: $4

If you like tanky characters, then Sejuani is a great choice. Her Glacial Prison ability effectively stuns enemy units, which gives advantage to your whole team.

Since her ability works like an AOE it can easily stun the entire enemy team for three seconds, which is more than enough to deal a lot of damage.

If you get her to two and three stars, then the duration of her stun ability extends to four and five seconds respectively, and that is more than enough to win any match-up.

Gnar

• Origin: Wild/Yordle
• Class: Shapeshifter
• Cost: $4

Despite his cute appearance Gnarl is one of the hardest-to-kill champions in TFT. Because he is a Shapeshifter, he can transform and gain 100% health bonus, which will make him incredibly beefy.

This means that you can fearlessly put him in the frontline of any match-up and let him deal with any number of enemies at once.

Gnar is also one of the most versatile champions in the game due to his double origin, which is Wild and Yordle.

Brand

• Origin: Demon
• Class: Elementalist
• Cost: $4

Out of all champions in TFT Brand has the most synergistic combination of origin and class.

As a Demon, Brand has a 50% chance to destroy opponent’s mana, and if you scale it up, then this chance increases up to 80%, which means that four out of five times this trick will work.

As an Elementalist, Brand stacks up mana for himself and the rest of the Elementalists on the board, virtually doubling it up.

Swain

• Origin: Imperial/Demon
• Class: Shapeshifter
• Cost: $5

While Gnar gains a lot of health by transforming, Swain sucks the health out of enemy units when he shapeshifts.

On top of that, his Demonflare ability sends out a powerful surge of energy that blasts all the enemies that are left without any health, which is truly devastating.

If you give him Dragon’s Claw, then he’ll be very much resistant to any magical damage, which is really the only way he can get defeated.

Kayle

• Origin: Noble
• Class: Knight
• Cost: $5

Here is the best support champion in the game. Kayle protects the weakest champions on board with her Divine Judgement ability, which can make the whole match-up really anjnoying for your opponent.

Obviously, it’s a good idea to team Kayle up with other Noble units in the game, but experience shows that she is also very good with Glacial units, such as Sejuani. So try it out!

Pyke

• Origin: Pirate
• Class: Assassin
• Cost: $2

There is a reason why Pyke needs to have two instances of Spear of Shojin item and not just one. It helps him quickly regain mana and spam his ability that allows him to become virtually invincible.

He also synergizes really well with Glacial units that stun enemies, which basically allows Pyke to dash through all of them and deal huge amounts of damage really quickly.

Aurelion Sol

• Origin: Dragon
• Class: Sorcerer
• Cost: $4

If you give Aurelion Sol the Phantom Dancer item, then he will become almost unbeatable.

Spear of Shojin is also exceptionally strong on Aurelion Sol, which has a similar effect as with Pyke.

This means that Pyke and Sol are basically the only two champions in TFT that can properly counter each other.

Ashe

• Origin: Glacial
• Class: Ranger
• Cost: $3

Just like most Glacial champions Ashe is a good choice not for her damage, but for her stun ability called Enchanted Crystal Arrow.

The best part about it is that the further the enemy stands on the board, the longer the stun works, which gives a lot of time for other units to get there and finish the job.

Rapid Firecannon item fits her the best, as it increases her maximum shooting range, which automatically adds up to the duration of her stun ability.

Now you can quickly recruit a very powerful team of champions in Teamfight Tactics without spending too much time analyzing each and everyone of them.
