Learn Teamfight Tactics and climb ranked

Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is Riot's free auto-battler: eight players draft champions, combine items and build a team that fights on its own each round. These five short guides take you from zero to your first ranked game.

1. 1 What is TFT? Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is a free-to-play auto-battler from Riot Games. How a game works, how it differs from other games, and why new sets keep it fresh.
2. 2 Your First Game A step-by-step walkthrough of your first TFT match: queuing up, the opening carousel and PvE rounds, buying and placing champions, PvP, and reaching top 4.
3. 3 Economy and Gold Management TFT interest pays 1 gold per 10 held, capped at 5 at 50 gold. Every gold source: passive income, streak gold, PvP wins, sell values, and when to save.
4. 4 Item Components The ten basic item components in TFT, what each one gives, and how two components combine into a completed item. The starting point for itemization.
5. 5 What is a Team Comp? A TFT team comp is the mix of champions, traits and items you build toward. The key elements of a comp, how one comes together, and how to use comp guides.
