A detailed explanation and description of all items in Teamfight Tactics, as well as tips on which compositions you should use them on and how to build your items around the champions you are given.

Continuing our Teamfight Tactics (TFT) series, we will now talk more about items in the game mode. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Teamfight Tactics is a newly released game mode developed by Riot Games (the creators of League of Legends) to be implemented within the League of Legends client. It is a free-for-all, 8 player turn-based strategy/drafting game that relies on the classic League of Legends champions & items for its assets. It belongs to the heavily trending genre recently, which houses Dota Auto Chess (DAC) which is currently a massively popular game on its own. Pro Boosting

How do items work in TFT

When playing a game of Teamfight Tactics, there are PvP rounds and PvE rounds, as well as shared draft (also known as carousel) rounds. In this article we will be focusing more on PvE and carousel rounds, as those are the rounds where you can gain new items to use in the rest of your TFT game. In Teamfight Tactics, items are split into two categories: component items & completed items. There are a total of 8 different component items, which can be used to create up to 36 different completed items. We will talk briefly about each item in this article, explaining some of the compositions where they work well and explaining their effects. Teamfight Tactics Guide

Items vs. Champion synergies

In Teamfight Tactics, drafting powerful synergistic champions and collecting the proper items for them is generally how you keep your Little Legend alive until the end. There are currently two schools of thought that are considered the optimal way to play the game: Adapting and pivoting your champion picks and synergies around the items you get in the PvE rounds and carousels up until the Krugs/Wolves rounds, or holding the component items you get early until you get an acceptable/strong set of champions that you want to build around, sometimes it is also considered acceptable in the second method to combine the components you get to generally strong items that fit in many compositions (Locket of the Iron Solari, Ionic Spark, Phantom Dancer, Morellonomicon, etc.)
