Set 16 PBE Guide
The most popular meta lines for the patch are included here. Use the tier list to see all lines. Tips for the patch:
- There will almost certainly be mistakes or less than ideal information in some of the comp guides. Leave a comment if you spot any — It helps a lot!
- Home page is updated to reflect the meta for this patch of PBE, although this meta will likely get shaken up a decent amount at least one more time (notably Malzahar will likely get nerfed)

Happy Turkey day all. I made a new page on the site that shows how to unlock each champion. It’ll automatically update each patch. It’s less helpful for those of you who are very engaged players as it isn’t too difficult to learn all 40 unlocks if you are playing enough, but should be helpful for anyone starting out. It also shows some comps that have the unit (priority given to highlighting comps that are performing well in the meta and itemize the unit). Here’s the URL: https://tftflow.com/how-to-unlock-every-champion-set16
This set is so expansive it must be a ton of work keeping up to date so quickly, appreciate it big time.
mel azir flex = broken
yo bro what do you use as filler when playing targon? much appreciated
Skarner + legendaries you find probably
thanks anon
Just randomly found this site. This is amazing and just what I was looking for. Really impressive layout and detailed notes on every comp. Hope you keep adding to it and improving!
Just want to say thank you for all of the positive comments 🙂 I don’t reply to them often because I don’t want them to take up 100% of the comments as it can be a bit overwhelming for anyone who just wants to talk about the game, but I read every single one of them and they make my day better so thank you.
amazing site and amazing work. truly. this is the exact type of site i was looking for. your pattern recognition ability to sectioning out all the conditions is impressive. very helpful for someone who learns through visual patterns. <3
Really appreciate your hard work sir
Summary of today:
Did a ton more research and VoD reviewing of the set. Basic assessment of the weekend patch:
1) Slayers are the most consistent, broken comp in the game currently
2) Ixtal is also very good if you hit the opener for it as it is too easy to hit Brock right now (can hit him 4-1 or 4-2 in some games) and he stabilizes on 1-star often
3) Shadow Isles Gwen reroll is quite good and underrated right now
4) Singed is a solid AP option, especially if you mixed streak or lose streak early game
5) Ryze has kind of fallen off in the meta. He can still cap high if you can get to the final board, but people are often dying before getting to Ryze 2
6) Yunara is kind of mid. Not a bad unit at all, but also not popping off either from what I’ve seen. Usually top 4s rather than win
7) Aurelion Sol is much more conditional now. Probably requires you to unlock him by 3-7 and needs multiple mana items
I’ve made many updates to the comps on the website, and there will be many more to come. I expect more to get discovered over the weekend as this patch settles before we go into next week and they do their branch cut patch. Look forward to more updates as Set 16 gets figured out
high IQ individual spotted…no joke though u should really make a premium version of tftflow cuz some of ur insights/analyses are really really f kn good man (literally probably difference in 1-2 placements per game) and easily the difference maker between having/not having the knowledge that u provide…great work boss!…and honestly its a win-win for you and dedicated tft players…we get special analyses/knowledge and you get paid extra!…kinda dont want other competitors to have free giga knowledge if u know what i mean 😀
….. wtf this comment
WHAT A GOAT!!! Thanks for the hard work^^
really appreciate the hard work
I feel like Rek’sai reroll has huge potential. I keep 10-12 streaking with 4 void but don’t know what my late game board should be or how to best position him
Took a long time to get it working properly, but unlock conditions have been added to the website. They are updated programmatically so even if Riot makes changes to them, they will update automatically within hours of any updates. Any champions that require an unlock have a small unlock icon displayed on them in the composition pages. You can either look at the champion tooltip or hover this icon to see a small tooltip that shows you how to unlock the champion. Hope it makes learning the set and using these comp guides a bit easier 🙂 Probably headed to sleep now, tomorrow will start working on more comps and refining existing ones.
hello boss! high elo NA misses you very much 😀 it would be fantastic if you can find the time to play/stream again! 😀 (your guides alone have helped me get out of hardstuck master (1000+ games LOL) to GM for the first time) we all know you are still passionate about the game and we would love to watch you in action again 😀 no pressure though boss
Why is Asol a reroll Leona comp ?
Cause that’s how it’s been getting played, although Leona got nerfed today
You’re actually a beast. This does help a lot. Keep up the good work my man
Thank you for your work!
Aaand we’re back. Going to work on Ryze boards along with other missing trait boards such as Bilgewater today. Once I get comps into a good place, I am going to work on the UI for Unlock conditions so that you can actually see those unlock conditions in the tooltips on the website. I also want to add a small unlock icon onto units on the comp page that indicate it is a locked unit — should make things more intuitive long-term.
Thanks for the fast update !
this is the best tft info site ever, no cap. keep up the great job
