The name of Riot Games has become audible in every direction we turn our heads when we say Valorant, TFT, Runeterra, League of Legends. It is one of the games that stand out with its popularity in Team Fight Tactics. TFT, which emerged under the Auto Chess genre and, of course, with Riot Games’ own interpretation, is quite popular.
Of course, the Auto Chess game type differs according to many games. Technically, it is not wrong to compare it to a chess game played in a digital environment. Of course, it may take some time to get used to this type of game, as many types of strategies and tactics are involved. That’s why we decided to prepare a few tactics about TFT for those who are curious or just starting out.
Things to know initially:
- Level: There is a level system in the game from 1 to 9, if you increase your level with the money you have, you have the right to put more characters on the table and the chance to get more valuable champions in the market.
- Money: We can say that your money is the most basic factor affecting the course of the game. As long as you have money, you can level up, buy new characters and improve your characters.
- Rolling the dice: Rolling the dice brings different characters for 2 coins instead of the 5 characters in your shop below. Basically, when you search for certain characters, you try to find the character you are looking for by constantly rolling the dice.
- Character level / value: Apart from your normal level, your characters have a level and also a value. While the value of the characters increases from 1 coins to 5 coins, the level of the characters progresses in the form of 1-2-3 stars. While you need to increase your level to find higher value characters, you need to collect more than one of the same characters to increase the level of the characters.
Before talking about tactics, it will be much easier for you to understand the mentioned tactics if you know the TFT terms above.
TFT Tactics that will turn you into a much better player:
- Know the abilities of the characters you play.
- Losing and winning can turn into a tactic.
- Be careful how you position your characters.
- Learn what the items are for.
- Save items for late-stage characters.
- Observe other players in the lobby.
- Learn the synergies of the characters.
- Make good use of your money.
Know the abilities of the characters you play:
One of the most important things you need to know will be what benefit the character you put on your table will bring you. As a result, it is not possible to get anywhere with random characters. Therefore, at least reading the abilities of the characters you buy will allow you to have an idea about how you can use the character.
Losing can become a winning tactic:
Winning consecutive matches will result in a rapid increase in your money. At the same time, you can follow this increased money from the 5-unit empty space on the right and left sides of the playing field. As your money increases, empty spaces will begin to fill up. Although winning is an important factor, it is possible to make a winning streak in a row to earn extra money, as well as a losing streak. Thus, although the winners are the side that gets stronger in the early stage, the losing side has the potential to return to the game. As time progresses, you will be able to decide for yourself what series you can do about winning and losing.
Be careful how you position your characters:
No matter how strong you are, a large part of your winning factor is how you position your characters at your table. For example; If there is a ranged character in your team that can deal damage, you need to put him behind a character that is prone to close combat or has the potential to become a wall of flesh so that he can survive as much as possible and inflict as much damage. Of course, this is a very simple example, but the point I want to make is this: if you know how to position each of your characters on the table where they can be most productive, you will have the chance to turn even the matches you lose in your favor.
Find out what the items are for:
In addition to the characters you have, the items you will give to those characters are of great importance. As a result, although you do not need his presence in the early stages, it is close to impossible to reach a place without an item in the late stages of the game. Combining different components to create an item will be quite difficult at first. But experience is key. After a while, you will realize that things get easier when you can more or less guess which characters you need to give what kind of items.
Store items for late-stage characters:
We mentioned that you can find more valuable characters as your level increases. Especially the 5-coin characters have the potential to carry the game on their own. Therefore, keeping ready-made items in the late stages of the game to give to such characters can be one of the tactics you can use to win.
Observe other players in the lobby:
You need to pay attention to the tables of other players as much as you take care of your own table. Paying attention to which characters and how other players place them on their tables is a very important factor. In this way, you can develop a strategy against this and rearrange your own characters according to the information you have obtained.
Find out the synergies of the characters:
There are synergies that many characters have with each other in the game. To give a simple example; When you put more than one character with the fighter role on your table, you activate the fighter role feature. This will ensure that the characters with the role of fighter will be more powerful at your table. Likewise, many different roles like this one have synergies within themselves. Although it is not possible to learn all of them at once, it is useful to start learning a few roles that you have your eye on.
Make good use of your money:
How you use your money is another factor behind your winnings. In addition to successive winning or losing streaks, when your money reaches a certain threshold (10-20-30-40-50), it will allow you to earn extra money for the next round. Therefore, it is useful to consider these coefficients when searching for characters or raising your level.
