Teamfight Tactics is a new game mode built within League of Legends that pits players against each other in a brutal free-for-all battle to see who has the most powerful champions. There’s a ton of different rules and complex mechanics to master, so our series of guides on the MOBA will help you master your army and become a truly powerful contender.
Items Galore
A big part of building a powerful army in Teamfight Tactics is items. Items drop from a couple of different sources in-game. When players duel each other with their champions, there’s a chance that the winner can loot the enemies they kill. Another source is carousel rounds. These special rounds during play act as a catch-up mechanic that allows players lagging behind to pick from the most powerful items. Creeps will run around a course with items floating above them. The player with the lowest HP value goes first and gets to pick an item to loot. This continues until the last player, the one with the most health, gets an item.
Another feature of Teamfight Tactics is that you can’t move items. You can only get items off of heroes by selling them. This introduces an extra layer of strategy as you have to carefully weigh your options based on the champions you’re using, the items you have, and what combinations they can make.
That’s right, you can combine items in this game for powerful bonuses. That’s why we’ve written this Teamfight Tactics items guide.
Combining Items for True Power
Teamfight Tactics has eight base items. Each of these items can combine with another basic item to create something new. Items each have their own stats, and combining certain stats will generate certain outcomes when these items are combined together. Just to help you out, here’s the basic items in Teamfight Tactics and the stat buffs they are attached to.
We also included the full rundown of all of the items they can be combined with, as well as their resulting effects. That way you don’t have to remember all of this on the fly.
