How to Play Reroll Comps In Teamfight Tactics

In Teamfight Tactics (TFT), playing reroll comps is a powerful strategy that can help you secure a strong board early and dominate in the mid-game. However, mastering the reroll strategy requires a solid understanding of when to roll, how to manage your gold, and which champions to prioritize. This guide will walk you through the essentials of playing reroll comps in TFT and provide tips for maximizing your chances of success.

What Are Reroll Comps?

Reroll comps focus on spending gold to roll for specific champions rather than leveling up. The idea is to repeatedly roll at lower levels (typically levels 4, 5, or 6) to find the key units you need, usually 2-star or even 3-star versions of champions, before moving on to higher levels. This strategy can give you an overwhelming advantage in the early and mid-game, especially if you can hit 2-star units early on.

When to Play Reroll Comps

Reroll comps are best played when you have strong early-game champions or when you find multiple copies of a particular champion early on. This allows you to roll aggressively and maximize your chances of finding upgrades quickly.

Here are a few ideal scenarios for playing reroll comps:

• You have a strong starting champion or synergy: If you find multiple copies of a champion like Darius, Draven, Powder, Violet and Vander early, rerolling can help you get them to 2 or 3 stars quickly.
• You are on a losing streak: Rerolling can help you recover by finding strong units early and getting back into the game.
• You can hit your desired composition early: Some reroll comps, such as (Powder, Camille, Violet, Smeech, Vander), are powerful in the mid-game and can help you snowball to the late-game.

As the name suggests, reroll comps are ones that focus on spending gold a lot to upgrade a specific unit(s) to 3-star. This often results in you being lower level than other players who are not also rerolling.

Once you’re able to hit a 3-star unit or a few, you’ll be able to hit a power spike for your comp. This ideally results in you being stronger than the rest of the lobby, allowing you rebuild your economy safely to catch up in levels.

At this point, your 3-star carry should be able to compete with other team comps with higher cost carries.

Before moving on further, lets quickly define Hyper Roll and Slow Roll:

• Hyper Roll: The act of spending a lot of gold (usually down to 20ish) to hit a 3-star unit. You can roll down to 0 but it’s generally not advised.
• Slow Roll: The process of rolling gold little by little while staying above 50 to maximize interest. This process is slower but can reduce the variance of Hyper Rolling and not hitting your 3-star upgrade.

Reroll comps can utilize one of these strategies or a mixture depending on the game state.

I touch on this topic in the General Leveling Guide, but it’s good to reiterate this concept. In TFT, there are Stages in the game that naturally lead to power spikes for your team comp. These Stages are:

• Stage 3-2 (Second Augment)
• Stage 4-1/4-2 (Last Augment)

Note: Some players may opt to power spike at 4-2 to gain some extra gold and see what their last augment is. Others will do so at 4-1 in order to pick up contested units or continue a win streak. Stage 5-1 (End Game)

Many of these Stages are shortly after a PvE round where players will get additional loot like Gold, Items, and more. The first two power spikes, 3-2 and 4-2, are also the Stages where you get to pick an Augment, further increasing your team’s power.

Power spikes are important because these are the rounds you should be assessing what you should do. If your team is currently weaker than others, it can be a good idea to spend some gold to roll for units.

Conversely, if you’re feeling strong or hitting upgrades naturally, these Stages can be a time to hold back and let your economy build even further.

There are other Stages that could be considered power spikes, like 3-4, 4-4, and 5-4. These Stages are Carousel rounds, and you can use this moment to assess your current position as well. You generally want to focus more on early Stages after PvE rounds, but sometimes leveling or rolling after a Carousel can be good.

This framework is important to keep in mind as you’re playing reroll comps. Every game will be different, and adjusting your decisions based on your current state in the game is important to mastering Teamfight Tactics.

To start things off, I’ll be splitting these sections by the cost of the main carry. Let’s begin with 1-cost reroll comps.

Game Plan:

Comps with 1-cost carries usually fall into two camps:

1. Focus on one 1-cost unit to carry through the early game and reach the late game to fill out the comp with higher cost units.

• Generally, you want to find multiple copies early to be able to 3-star quickly and cheaply. This will let you power spike efficiently, allowing you to rebuild your economy faster.
• Having good items to build on your carry early can also help you reach a power spike early.
• You will try to catch up in levels faster to match the lobby and add in high cost units.

2. Look to reroll for multiple low cost units to assemble a team of strong 3-star units.

• These comps center around 3-starring multiple units instead of just 1. There can still be a main carry or priority to 3-star, but having multiple will lead to better success.
• You can spend a majority of the game under leveled and use your 3-star units to carry fights.
• These team comps are generally easier to play as the game plan is much more simple and linear.

Whether or not a comp falls into gameplan 1 or 2 depends on the champion and context. Some units like Powder, Violet and Vander are all low cost Family units that synergize together in reroll comps.

Other times, you may have a champion like Darius who doesn’t need additional 3-stars to help him out. Instead, you can use him to power spike early and level up while win streaking to add in higher cost units.

Stage Breakdown

Here’s a general breakdown of each Stage and what to do for each one.

Stage 2

For 1-cost reroll comps, you definitely do not want to level up in Stage 2. This will lower your odds of hitting 1-cost units and is counterproductive.

For all of Stage 2, the priority is to build up as much gold as possible. Use cheap 1-cost units to save HP on your board while hitting interest thresholds (10, 20, 30, etc).

Lastly, it’s generally advised to try and lose streak for Stage 2. Since you won’t be leveling up, it’s unlikely that you will be able to win streak, so being able to lose streak is better. You don’t want to fall to 60 HP to lose streak, simply keep it in mind to help generate some more Gold.

Stage 3

At 3-1, most players will opt to Hyper Roll down to 20 or so gold to try and hit a 3-star 1-cost unit. This is because 3-1 is the last Stage you will be level 4, with better odds of hitting a 1-cost unit.

At 3-2, you will naturally hit level 5, and you can let your 3-star carry win you fights as you build your gold back up. No need to hit level 6 at this point (which is the standard for regular comps).

• If you have a solo reroll carry, look to catch back up in levels to start playing “normally.” You can look to level up to 6 at 3-5 (after carousel) and hopefully hit level 7 in early Stage 4.
• If you’re rerolling for multiple units, you can look to rebuild your economy back up to 50 and begin Slow Rolling for additional upgrades.

Stage 4

4-1/4-2 will be the main power spike for the lobby, and your comp should try and match that tempo. For solo reroll carry comps, you should already be past rerolling and focusing on catching up to 7 and adding in stronger units.

For comps with multiple reroll targets, 4-1 is your last stand to hit your 3-star units. At minimum, you should be level 6 at this point and have multiple 3-star units. If you’re unlucky and still behind, you can choose to roll down for upgrades while saving enough gold to hit level 6.

Conversely, if you already hit your upgrades, you can simply look to catch up in levels.

This part is very dependent on context. If your team is still weak, you need to improve it somehow either by rolling for upgrades or leveling up to add more units.

Stage 5

At 5-1, you should ideally be caught up to everyone else in the lobby and be ready to reach level 8. This should allow you to put together your final team comp with 8 units. You may be missing an upgrade here or there, but this is the point to roll down and put it all together.

If you’re having a good game and complete your comp with extra gold, you can start saving back up to potentially reach level 9 or look for other 3-star units.

Stage 6

At this point, you should either be rolling down to find any upgrade you can, or leveling up to 9 to add in another strong unit.

Moving onto 2-cost reroll comps, a majority of the game plan from 1-costs carries over. The main difference is that Level 6 provides the highest odds of hitting 2-cost champions in the shop.

Game Plan:

Similar to 1-cost reroll comps, 2-cost rerolls can also fall into the categories:

• One main 3-star carry
• Multiple 3-star units

Whether or not a comp falls into group 1 or 2 depends on the champion and set. You’ll be able to see what champions are necessary to 3-star in the Tier List.

Stage Breakdown

Overall, the stage breakdown for 2-costs is quite similar to 1-costs, just with a larger emphasis on level 6.

Stage 2

Like all reroll comps, you will want to focus on making Gold in Stage 2. However, since you don’t need to stay at level 4, you have an option of lose streaking or leveling to win streak.

Regardless of what happens, you simply want to gain as much gold as efficiently as possible. If you find some early upgrades, you can level up to try and win streak. If your early luck is bad, simply hold back and build up your gold instead.

Here's an example: I played Camille Reroll in the Ambusher comp. Initially, I started with Powder, Violet, Darius, Draven, and Vander at level 5 when I hadn’t found Camille and Smeech yet. Once I got Camille and Smeech, I replaced Darius and Draven with them. At level 6, I added Ekko, Scar, and Loris, replacing Vander and Violet. Finally, after upgrading Camille to 3 stars, I leveled up and added more Ambusher units to complete the comp.

Stage 3

Stage 3 is arguably the most important Stage for 2-cost reroll comps. In general, comps will want to hit level 6 on 3-2.

If you want to play aggressively, level up to 6 and roll until you’re able to 2-star most of the units on your board (including your main carry). This can be good if you’re behind and want to stabilize to lower the risk of going 8th.

Conversely, if you want to play more greedily, you can opt to wait until 3-5 to level up to 6 and slow roll for your 3-star upgrades. This can be a good option if you are ahead on life and want to trade some HP for more gold.

As Stage 3 progresses, simply slow roll in order to find your 2-cost carry. You can also decide to pivot to a 2-cost reroll comp if you find many natural copies during Stage 2-3. This is flexible since you can keep up in levels and play a “normal” game up until Stage 3-2.

Stage 4

Stage 4 is where you spend a majority of the time slow rolling. Other players will level up to 7 at 4-1, but you’ll spend this time losing fights to find your 3-star carry.

Ideally, you will be able to hit your 3-star upgrade during Stage 4. Once you do so, you can start to slow level (same as slow rolling but spending gold on leveling up) to catch back up in levels.

If you’re unlucky or didn’t build up enough Gold, you will need to roll down aggressively at the start of Stage 5.

Stage 5

Assuming you’re unlucky, 5-1 is the point where you should at least have your 3-star carry and be Level 7. You should roll down aggressively at this point or you might lose too much HP.

If your carry has strong items and your other units are mostly 2-star, you should be able to compete with other team comps that are level 8.

Once you have your 3-star carry, you can then decide to either save up for level 8, or roll for other upgrades if you’re still weak.

Stage 6

If you make it this far, you should be able to hit level 8 unless you’ve been rolling every round for upgrades. Stage 6 is more of the same. Simply level up if you can and keep rolling for upgrades to try and place as high as possible.

Lastly, let’s cover the general game plan for 3-Cost reroll comps. 3-Cost carries are sometimes the hardest comps to play. The highest odds for 3-cost units are at level 7 and 8, but it’s difficult to lose rounds later in the game to reroll.

Game Plan:

Once again, 3-cost carries either have multiple carries or have one main carry. However, unlike the previous two sections, this difference changes your game plan quite significantly.

For a comp like Watcher Kog'Maw, there are two units you want to 3 star, that is Kog'Maw and Scar. This happens if a team comp is able to have multiple 3-cost units that synergize together. This way, you’re able to slow roll at level 7 for multiple units, allowing you to have a big power spike if you hit multiple 3-stars.

For these comps, the game plan is very similar to 1 and 2-costs, the only difference being you slow roll at level 7. Comps with many 3-star units can rival level 8 team comps the whole game if you’re able to hit. Level 8 is simply a nice way to fit in an extra trait or strong unit.

On the other hand, we have team comps that only rely on hitting one 3-Star carry. For these comps, you can either slow roll at level 7 or simply hit level 8. If you have multiple copies early, slow rolling can be a strong way to hit an early 3-star unit without losing too much tempo.

If you don’t have many copies, you can simply look to level up to 8. This is because you can still add in strong 4 or 5-cost units as secondary carries. As you build up more gold, you can still look for your 3-star carry.

Both strategies have their own risk, so once again, you should determine the best course of action based on your game.

• Many copies (6) -> Slow Roll to hit a quick power spike and catch up to 8 later
• Less copies (4) -> Level up to 8 for a guaranteed power spike and keep looking

Stage Breakdown

I’ll only briefly cover the breakdown since it mirrors the 1 and 2-costs quite a bit.

Stage 2 and 3

3-Cost carries aren’t found until later in the game, so you can simply play out Stage 2 and 3 however you see fit. Win streak early or lose streak if you don’t find natural upgrades.

The only difference comes at Stage 3-2. As usual, you will want hit level 6 at 3-2. However, you’re also able to roll aggressively at 3-2 in order to 2-star your 3-cost carry.

Hitting a 2-star 3-cost unit this early can usually result in a win streak all the way to the end of Stage 3. This can be a strong play if you already have 2 copies of a 3-star unit.

This can set up your economy going into Stage 4 very well.

Stage 4

At Stage 4-1, you’ll want to hit level 7 along with most other players in the lobby. If you want some extra gold, you can wait until 4-2 to level up. If you have a win streak, though, you’ll want to level at 4-1 to try and keep it.

Depending on your situation, you can opt to slow roll at level 7 or look to save up for level 8.

Stage 5

If you’re committed to rerolling for 3-star units, this is where you should roll down for your upgrades. If you saved up for level 8 and didn’t find more copies naturally, level up to 8 and roll for upgrades.

Stage 5 is where you should look to make the strongest team comp possible, whether that’s through rerolling or leveling up to 8. Ideally, you’ll find your 3-star upgrades and be able to hit level 8, but not every game is so fortunate.

If you make it to Stage 6, simply reassess whether saving up to level 8/9 or rolling for upgrades is better.

1. When to consider reroll:

• Have a lot of copies of a particular low cost unit
• Have good items for reroll units
• Condition for particular reroll are met (Augment, Artifact, etc)
• Are not contested
• Others playing reroll

2. Reroll ideology

• I will use my gold early to be strong and save HP
• By upgrading units early, I can reliably winout my mid game and cap out later if I high roll

3. 1 Cost reroll

• Do not pump exp stage 2
• Need units + Items stage 2
• Econ, often sack stage 2 to guarantee carousel pick
• Roll above 50 gold stage 2 for upgrades
• Roll on level 4 to 30 gold stage 3-1, roll deep for 3 stars
• Econ and cap out rest of board rest of game

4. 2 Cost reroll

• Need units + Items stage 2
• Can econ or play strongest stage 2
• Level 6 and send on 3-1/3-2 for upgrades
• Roll above 50 gold stage 3 for copies
• Resend - Roll to 30 gold stage 4-1, roll deep for 3 stars
• Econ and cap out rest of board rest of game

5. 3 Cost reroll

• Need some sort of direction stage 2, maybe 1 and 2 copies of units
• Can econ or play strongest stage 2 (I prefer play strongest)
• Send on 3-1/3-2 for upgrades if paired
• Level to 7 when you can without breaking econ
• Roll above 50 gold stage 3 for copies
• Resend - Roll to 30 gold stage 4-1 for upgrades, roll deep for 3 stars
• Resend - Roll deep to secure top 4 stage 5

6. Summary

• Play reroll when you have the spot for it
• Try to save HP early to bleed out to top 4
• Send on 3-1/3-2 for upgrades if paired
• Try to hit 3 stars stage 4-1, if 3 costs then try to hit 5-1
• Roll above 50 gold unless in danger
• Always stay above 30 gold unless you are 1 off a unit

Playing reroll comps in TFT is an effective strategy if you can manage your economy well and identify the right champions to focus on early in the game. By staying at the appropriate level, using gold wisely, and understanding when to transition, you can make the most out of rerolling and put yourself in a great position to win. Remember, rerolling works best in the early to mid-game, so plan your transition to higher-cost units carefully as the match progresses.
