TFT Items Guides

How TFT items work: item components and recipes, completed and special items, the hidden item bag, and when to slam an item or hold it.

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.

Item Bags

How TFT's hidden item bag has typically worked: which components your orbs can drop, why duplicates are limited early on, and how to plan items around it.

Item Recipes

How item recipes work in TFT: two components always make the same completed item. The recipe grid, same-component combinations, and tips to avoid mistakes.

Completed Items

TFT completed items by category: attack damage, ability power, tank and utility. Common item archetypes, best-in-slot thinking, and items vs star levels.

Special Items

TFT special items explained: Spatula emblems and Tactician's items, artifact items and Radiant items. How they differ, how to get them, and when to use them.

Item Strategy

TFT item strategy: when to slam items and when to hold components, planning best-in-slot, flexible itemization, itemizing your carry first, and item holders.
