Tips & Tricks
- This is not a comp! But it was the only way I could think of to demonstrate the ways you can play fast 9 in this set.
- The main tech options for going 9 are Yordles, Bilgewater, and Path of Enlightened Ionia. Then combine them with as many econ augments as possible
- For Yordles, you want to rush to 4 Yordle as soon as possible (remember to unlock Poppy by itemizing a Demacian or Yordle unit). This guarantees you get a Yordle unit every shop which makes upgrades easy to hit which then unlocks Kennen, at which point you can play 6 Yordle on 3-1.
- With Yordles, you can use some of your free rerolls to save HP in Stage 3. Aim to level to 8 by 4-1 and play 8 Yordle all of Stage 4. Go 9 on 4-7 / 5-1, pivot out of Yordles, and play toward one of the several meta level 9 comps. Ideally play for Sylas.
- With Bilgewater, you can play into the Bilgewater flex line (get upgrades, rush Lucky Doubloon, get 7 Bilge items through toggling, play 3 Bilge during combat). Alternatively, you can use the Bilge shop to tempo and get gold to help fast 9
- With Path of Enlightened Ionia, play from strong Ionia openers and try to get as much XP as possible from the trait. Often you’ll stay in Ionia, but can eventually transition into Kindred Fast 9 boards

)Economy Strategy
- Without econ augment, fast 9 is almost impossible without win-streak.
- Level to 4 if you have upgrades and a good item to place on one of those upgrades.
- Level to 5, unless on 3-loss streak.
- Level to 6 if on 4+ win streak (scout to see if necessary in high elo) or can stay above 40g.
- 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.
- Level to 7 if you can stay above 30g, otherwise stay level 6.
- Level to 7, or 8 if you can stay above 30g.
- Level to 8. Main difference from Fast 8 is how much you roll on 8. Ideally you are high HP and don’t need to roll at all. Otherwise, roll for acceptable board and accumulate gold afterward.
- Level to 9 if you are rich enough to roll 40g+. Generally only possible with economy augment or encounter.
- Level to 9 if you can roll 40g+ or if low HP.
- Level to 9 and roll for important 5-costs. For the remainder of game, roll until you hit your 2 star itemized units. Can consider level 10 after hitting.
for anyone wondering this is an econ comp you fast 9 transition late game to 5 cost flex boards, dont just sit on this comp and expect to win you games
What is this on OP tier? xD
You should add “Gain 21 Gold” augment.
posts like this is why tftflow is the GOAT
I love how it writes “+1 tier condition OP -> OP”. Why not beyond OP? 😀
this comp is great i got 1 place!
Great guide. Thanks a lot!
This has genuinely helped me so much today, thank you for putting this type of strategy out for the patch <3

Super cool addition to the tier list! Knowledge is OP
