15.3 Guide

The most popular meta lines for the patch are included here. Use the tier list to see all lines. Tips for the patch:

  • Sky Piercer is generally becoming a strong Power Up after the rebalancing of Power Ups. Consider using it along with triple damage item, especially in comps that have both AD and AP damage.
  • AP is generally in a poor state this patch, with only Yuumi as a solid default option. Ryze is also an option, but is much less consistent.
AD Core Lines

These are the lines you should play in most games if provided attack damage (AD) items. Conditions are recommended, but not mandatory.

  1. ivern is shinigami

    game was ruined when the power up tailoring was ruined

    I have a suggestion I just thought of, when you click into the comps, do you think you could add the “opener” for each of the core lines as a version, in the same way as “main”? Keep up the great work!

    Hey man! Ive been using your site for the last 2 sets now and its been amazing. One quick thing I thought of that might be nice, is for every comp if you could add good users of artifacts in that comp.

    Ofcourse there is the condition tierlist for that, but this use case if lets say its stage 3 or 4 and I have committed to a comp, now the game drops me an artifact from loot or its the best augment available. Id like to know the best one to plug into my comp based on stats. So just under each comp, the top 2 artifacts for each carry or something like that

    Just got to Emerald in half the time thanks to your precious work. Since I’m not able to grind, this page is essential to me for still getting to a reasonable rank and have fun while playing.
    Thank you!

    what can i say? i am higher in elo and have a better understanding for tft than ever. i think your website helpt me alot. have my thanks dor the hard work

  7. Desperate low elo noob

    Dear Blue ive forgotten how to play this patch somehow. I’m in dire need of a YouTube video where you explain the openers and comps rn 🙏😭

  8. Juan

    At some point, will you put this page as an app integrated into the game? Like Mobylitic or Metatft or something like that?

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      I would like to at some point, not sure what the timeline would look like for something like that though as of right now. Definitely getting closer to it being a real consideration though now that the website is in a good place format wise (at least in my opinion).

    seen any volibear/bastions? seems solid for top 4 most games with occasional winout

      rubbish comp

    2. WAVE IS REAL

    Hey, can you checkout Fully Adapted for Garen

  11. wondering trainers

    I kind of miss the melee items tier list of last set

  12. ivern is shinigami

    star guardian has become too toxic to bother using this build.

  13. Hermes

    I have not been able to use any other website since I discovered this. I just love it!

    Just made GM for the first time using your guides, thank you for being kept up with the meta and updating so fast

    I just got destroyed by a 6 Edge Lord 4 Bastion Comp… its was winning even with 6 Edge 2~3 Bastion… any thoughts on its meta state? Xayah 3x* Shen 3* was the problem (and later a Braum 2) and I was level 9 Jinx 2* (Radiant Infinity Edge, Guinsoo and Krankens – the power up Hyperactive), Poppy 2* (Power Up Best Defense with Steraks, Vow and Crownguard) and Seraphine 2* (Archangel, Morello and Gunblade)… My Xayah had Last Whisper and Neeko Ionic… I had Anti heal, shred and close to BiS on both main carries with good Seraphine gear ._. 1 Econ and 2 combat augments… and still lost XD I cant believe xD

    1. Ziraax

      In high elo, SG Jinx doesn’t cap that high. Thus, even when high rolling and having BiS you’ll most likely top2-3.

      1. Anonymous

        Im still climbing xD current ar gold 1… no high elo xD

  16. mge

    malph+sivir 3star + jhin main carry is wreaking havoc right now! capping with 5 sniper 4 protector at 9

    Why is Kai’Sa Comp (A Tier) lower than Strategist Varus (which is B-Tier)?

    1. Merky

      Im not blue but id assume its due to the volatility of being in spot where you can play fast 9 varus as opposed to Kaisa which is more easily accessible

      1. Anonymous

        Ah no sorry that’s not what I meant. Reading the comment again I admit it was kinda misleading. What I was confused about was why in the site layout it’s higher not why it’s the better comp (it’s in the wrong order varus should be at the bottom like the new jhin comp is). Hope it’s understandable now 🙂

  18. Nizo

    I love this website thx

  19. BMR

    Jayce Cait might be weaker but with all these backline scaling comps it might be the Glass Cannon, split the seas and let Caitlyn destroy the backline

  20. WAVE IS REAL

    6 Protector”s Xayah and Fan Service + Double Trouble Xayah + Rakan seems to be doing quite well too
