Tips & Tricks
  • Galio contributes Demacia from your bench and does not take up a unit slot, so you get to play 10 total units
  • Vayne is becoming the more common way to play toward Demacia, particularly due to how strong she is in the early and midgame. Play and upgrade as many Demacian units as possible to unlock Galio, then drop to the 5 Demacia board shown
  • Can go for Vayne 3 if you get an augment that helps you hit it such as Heroic Grab Bag
  • Vayne does not need Rageblade. Double Kraken is best in slot. Giant Slayer and Gunblade are also excellent items. Rageblade is a fine slam if it’s what you have, but it is not true best in slot.
  • Can play Skarner over Taric

Economy Strategy
  1. Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
  2. Level to 5, unless on 3 loss streak.
  3. Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
  4. Level to 6, unless you would go below 30g. If you have to stay level 5 due to low gold (rare), then level to 6 on 3-5.
  5. Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
  6. Level to 7.
  7. Level to 8. Roll for desired comp until stable. “Stable” changes depending on rank, items, augments, composition, and patch. Melee carries and tanks get the biggest spike for 2-stars. Usually stable involves 2-star tank or carry and some other supporting 2-stars. Try not to roll below 10g.
  8. If you are weak (e.g., have no 2-star 4-costs), consider rolling again to 10g here. If you are stable, save gold to go 9.
  9. If you are low HP and haven’t 2-starred your carry and tank, roll to 0g. If you have medium to high HP with an upgraded + itemized 4-cost unit and some other upgrades, save gold to go 9.
  10. If high HP, consider waiting until 5-5 to go level 9. If medium HP, consider going level 9 if you can roll 20g or wait until 5-5. If low HP and can afford to go 9, do so even if you have almost no gold to roll on 9. If you can’t afford to go 9 this game, roll every turn for upgrades.
  11. Level to 9 if possible. From this point onward, look to level to 9. Acknowledge games where level 9 is not possible and roll every turn on 8 to preserve placements.
  12. For max cap games, you can either roll on 9 or level to 10. If you are itemizing a 5-cost carry and it is 1-starred, roll on 9. If you have all your main itemized units upgraded, level to 10.

    Collector vayne needs guinsoo, her attackspeed is too low with 1 kraken

  2. Stoothis

    What is the Deadlier Blades build?

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Kraken + Flexible 3rd. Can be GS, Gunblade, another Kraken, Rageblade, whatever you got.

  3. thug

    Stats show snipers focus being pretty terrible on vayne and kai sa. Why would this be?

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Gives them more of what they already have, which is meh. Sniper’s Focus was on Lux when you played her in this line (sometimes you still do). But putting a Sniper’s on a Longshot unit that already gets damage amp is whatever. General rule of TFT is you never want more of what you already have because it scales additively with itself. You want to combine different stats that combine multiplicatively. It’s good on Lux because not only does her ability hit backline, she also gets AP from her trait which scales multiplicatively with damage amp.

  4. ivern is shinigami

    i hate this patch. there is never enough econ to reach these boards before 4-5

    1. Tanto

      same and so unlocking galio is a pain

    2. Turtle fan

      Play bard its a bard meta

  5. tanto

    sniper focus on who?

    1. Anonymous

      any of the longshot

    Merry Christmas! How do you feel about the Vayne and Lucian Senna Augment? Feel like it’s viable if you have the items for Lucian Senna.

    1. rash

      I just win a game with 30 hp with that augment. 3 star vayne + senna w shojin. OP or I think easly S+

  7. Mr Yabuki

    we can unlock ryze for free would that be any good instead of taric

  8. Anonymous

    how and when do i unlock the ziggs in the comp??

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      On neutrals. Play any flex unit you want or another Longshot in his place if need be. Doesn’t need to be Ziggs, just fits well.

    wits end felt pretty good on vayne with rageblade and crown of demacia, u get a decent amount of ap dmg in

  10. remo

    Horizon focus feels CRAZY on galio

    1. unimentil

      Very true. After a game today of playing Living Forge Demacia, I think it’s one of the best augments for playing Demacia from Sona + AP opener. So many good artifacts exist for her low mana pool and there are a lot of artifacts Galio likes due to the amount of magic resistances they give. Late-game, you can transition the Sona artifact to Seraphine in this comp https://tftflow.com/team-builder/e9ae857f To add a little more context to this board, you can drop Taric for any other 5 cost/Sylas/Ryze since you’ll have unlocked him with Taric in or can play him on level 10. In the 17 games this patch of this comp in Plat+ the avp and winrates are pretty nasty. Unfortunately, there’s only 1 game played in Master+ by someone on the KR server, but I’ll for sure be playing it more often through my climb to Master from Diamond in NA. I actually have a vod of the game if anyone would like to see

  11. WAVE IS REAL

    This comp is so easy to winstreak with if u get a Vayne early from portal with rageblade

  12. Swazyyy

    Force this comp if u get a darkin bow early, its that strong. but late game better to play 5 demacia with flex on other units like Shyvanna, fiddle, kindred

  13. Selby

    Is jarvan 3 star make any significant powerlevel for demacia comp?

    1. Logic301

      If you hit it fast you can unlock galio early

    2. Anonymous

      Probably not, he is just there for demacia trait, would better sell his 2* for complete Sylas quest later.

  14. Anonymous

    any counters for this ?

    1. Anonymous

      I’ve had good success with Diana against it

  15. Anonymous

    I think we should replace guinsoo rageblade with infinity edge on vayne. Because she doesn’t need that much atk speed bcuz it’ll cause her tumble and interupt the dmg

  16. RG

    Had prismatic pandora’s items and a radiant deathblade on Vayne – super strong mid game and a comfortable 1st

  17. mge

    seen a few demacia with kaisa and vayne 2 main carry top 3 ing recently

  18. Galio is a dragon

    The golden dragon augment that gives effectively colossus to a unit works on galio from the bench. So you can get the benefit without being down a team slot.

      he will lose the added effects from the augments once jumps into the fight
