Afterwards, you’re dumped back to your own board, putting you face-to-face with what you’ll see for most of the rest of the game. Your first steps onto the Teamfight Tactics board will show you the initial carousel of champions, and allow you to pick one by moving your character over top of them. Here's what the main play area looks likeĬlick the icon in the top right to expand the image. XP will increase your level, letting you field more champions per round and giving you access to rarer, stronger champions. Gold is used for purchasing champions, purchasing bonus XP, and to reroll the random selection of champions you can buy each round. This is your chance to trade champions between the board and your bench area, since once the fight begins you won’t be able to swap them out.Įach round will also bring in automatic gold and XP.

The rest are split between fighting NPC enemies for a chance to get an item, and rounds where you’ll draft new champions from a rotating carousel.īefore each round begins, you’ll have a short period of time to do any purchasing and reorganizing that you want to. Teamfight Tactics is divided up into rounds, most of which will see you squaring off against other players' teams of misfit champions. Since the strategy is key, you’ll want to pay attention to your gold income, synergies between characters, and how to make the items you want. Buying copies of the same champion upgrades them, making them more powerful, and you can equip them with a variety of items that enhance their stats. To do this successfully, try to purchase the best champions you can using gold you get at the end of each round.

As your strategy evolves, you’ll need to adapt to your opponents and whittle them down to eventually be the last player standing in the free-for-all. The amount of damage you do depends on how many of your champions are still alive and scales exponentially upward as the game goes on. If you win a round against another player, you’ll do damage to their health.
