TFT Set 13: How to Play Pit Fighter

The Pit Fighters trait in TFT Set 13 introduces a powerful frontline strategy, offering champions in this synergy significant sustain and bonus true damage. With 15% Omnivamp, Pit Fighters recover Health each time they deal damage, making them exceptionally resilient. Additionally, they gain a bonus true damage boost that scales with the number of Pit Fighters on the field. Once per combat, when a Pit Fighter's Health drops to 50%, they recover a percentage of their max Health over two seconds, increasing from 10% at the two-unit level to an impressive 99% at eight units. This guide will help you understand how to maximize the potential of Pit Fighters and build a team that can endure and dominate battles.

Pit Fighter is a simple fighting trait that allows melee carry units to have some extra survivability through Omnivamp and a one time heal. Melee carrys are always prevalent in TFT, and the Pit Fighter trait has a lot of possibilities.

Draven is the one Pit Fighter who is ranged, but Gangplank can also be ranged with his Form Swapper trait. Items like Bloodthirster, Hand of Justice, or Sterak’s Gage are generally strong on these characters so they can sustain while dealing good damage.

1. Pit Fighter Trait Bonus

Pit Fighters gain 15% Omnivamp and deal bonus true damage. Once per combat at 50% Health, they heal a percentage of their max Health over 2 seconds.

• (2) 6% true damage, 10% Health
• (4) 12% true damage, 25% Health
• (6) 20% true damage, 40% Health
• (8) 50% true damage, 99% Health

2. Pit Fighter Synergy

Here’s a list of traits you can branch into from the Pit Fighter Champions:

• Conqueror (Draven)
• Family (Violet)
• Experiment (Urgot)
• Artillerist (Urgot)
• Scrap (Gangplank)
• Form Swapper (Gangplank)
• Enforcer (Vi)
• High Roller (Sevika Exclusive)
• Chem-Baron (Sevika)

Firstly, there is no overlap in the Origin traits for the Pit Fighter roster. Even still, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get some synergy going on. You can also use a variety of Emblems to power up these units further.

For example, you can put Artillerist Emblem on Draven and pair him with Urgot. However, this is an early game combination that will rely on rerolling/3-stars to compete late game.

The Pit Fighter trait naturally has a 4 and 5-cost unit with Vi and Sevika respectively. As such, it’ll be quite easy to default to them when building a strong board. From there, you can look to activate their traits and branch out further.

In general, Augments like Crest and Crown will always be good, but there are definitely more notable ones to explore and discover. As we make our way to the PBE, we’ll be sure to test a variety of combinations and update this article with what we find.

Mastering the Pit Fighters trait in TFT Set 13 involves striking a balance between sustain and damage. With increasing true damage and substantial healing at low Health thresholds, Pit Fighters become more formidable as the game progresses. Position your champions effectively to allow them to benefit from the Omnivamp and take full advantage of the mid-fight healing at critical moments. Whether you’re running a smaller lineup for a quick true damage boost or aiming for the 8-unit setup to unleash a 99% Health recovery, Pit Fighters offer incredible resilience and damage potential. By building and positioning wisely, you’ll be able to turn Pit Fighters into a near-unstoppable force on the battlefield.
