Just hit 1k LP on NA @TFT. Here are 4 comps you can learn to climb on this set -- don't need to learn anything else if you don't want to. First 3 comps can be played on all encounters/gods.

1. Corki/Riven
2. Asol AP Flex
3. Yi
4. Fast9

Notes below:

1. Corki needs DB. After that you just need shred + antiheal.

2. AP Flex can run a lot of different front line, but this is the simplest way to transition. Blitz always in on 8 (over Rhaast, who comes back on 9). Sona always over Liss. Tank items on Illaoi if Nunu1.

3. Yi best with Malware or Targetlock optics. Biomatter playable.

4. Fast9 only force from win streak, econ augment, or econ galaxy. You lose anyway without items, so can't overtake econ. Can drop Graves for Morg if you are too low to reliably get his upgrades in time.

The main thing to keep in mind this set is how you play around Gods.

1. Econ god/galaxy -> you can pick more combat or item augments

2. Item/hexes -> you want more econ augments

3. Varus/hexes -> can lean reroll

Best openers are Timebreaker and Primordian

Reroll things to know:

1. Hero augments -> I would pretty much only take if it gives you 2-star on 2-1

2. 1-cost reroll wants to start winning on Stage 3 (3-items on a core unit)

2. 2-cost reroll wants to start winning on 3-2 (roll for 2-stars)

3. 3-cost reroll needs to be able to bleed out stage 4 (spike against stage 5)

If you aren't winning on those tempos, you are probably going to bot 4. Really hard for reroll to hit and win out unless you have Expedition 33.

Won't list comps cuz that'll change patch to patch.

Other lines to know:

1. Xayah -> playable on everything but medallion. Only playable with red buff + 2 more bow items (LW and kraken best)

2. Dark Star -> always force with emblem. Dark Star emblem will change from patch to patch, but you can make Kai'Sa or Karma big as default

3. LB flex is fine, but only from winstreak. You will bleed out on Stage 5. Lose streak into LB is very bad.

4. Anima is winout at 400+ and 8th if you don't make it to 400. Bail and pivot if you get griefed.

5. Prim reroll basically needs to 100 streak Stage 2 and 3

Main thing people struggle with is 2-1 line selection + understanding when they are supposed to be strong (which causes them to either sit on gold or over roll).

Best learning streams for me are Dishsoap and Robinsongz. Use @TFT_Academy as a default if you need help.
