TFT Set 3.5 Revival: Galaxies Reborn – Meta Comps & Strategies

The highly anticipated TFT Set 3.5 Revival: Galaxies Reborn is here, bringing back fan-favorite champions, traits, and mechanics from the original Galaxies set. Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, mastering the best comps and strategies is essential to dominating the battlefield. In this guide, we’ll explore the top-tier team compositions, item builds, and tactical decisions to help you secure victory in every match.

1. Cybernetic Blademasters – The Ultimate Hybrid

Core Champions: Irelia, Ekko, Fiora, Vi, Vayne, Leona, Thresh

Key Traits: Cybernetic (3/6), Blademaster (3), Chrono (2)

Best Items:

Irelia: Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Rapid Firecannon

Ekko: Morellonomicon, Ionic Spark

Vayne: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Runaan’s Hurricane

Strategy:

Cybernetic Blademasters thrive on early-game stability with Cybernetic bonuses, allowing champions to gain extra health and attack damage with just one item. Irelia serves as the primary carry, dealing high burst damage, while Ekko provides utility with his AoE disruption. Positioning is key—place Irelia in the second row for maximum effectiveness.

2. Star Guardian Sorcerers – Magic Reigns Supreme

Core Champions: Syndra, Ahri, Neeko, Zoe, Janna, Soraka, Xerath

Key Traits: Star Guardian (6), Sorcerer (4), Mystic (2)

Best Items:

Syndra: Jeweled Gauntlet, Blue Buff, Giant Slayer

Neeko: Warmog’s Armor, Gargoyle Stoneplate

Xerath: Rabadon’s Deathcap, Spear of Shojin

Strategy:

This composition excels at generating mana quickly, allowing Syndra and Xerath to unleash devastating ultimates. Frontline support from Neeko and Janna provides durability, while Soraka ensures sustain. Aim for early Star Guardian units to snowball into late-game dominance.

3. Mech-Pilot Infiltrators – All-In Destruction

Core Champions: Fizz, Rumble, Annie, Shaco, Kai’Sa, Ekko

Key Traits: Mech-Pilot (3), Infiltrator (4), Demolitionist (2)

Best Items:

Shaco: Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel

Kai’Sa: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Statikk Shiv

Ekko: Morellonomicon, Blue Buff

Strategy:

The Mech-Pilot trait allows three champions (Fizz, Rumble, Annie) to merge into a powerful mech with immense durability. Meanwhile, Infiltrators jump into the backline, assassinating enemy carries. Prioritize defensive items for the mech and offensive items for Shaco to optimize damage output.

1. Early Game Economy Management

Always aim for a strong early-game board to preserve HP.

Pre-level to level 5 on 2-3 to increase chances of hitting key 2-cost units.

Slow roll (50 gold economy) for 3-star carries like Vayne, Shaco, or Syndra when necessary.

2. Adapting to the Galaxy Mechanic

TFT Set 3.5 features various Galaxy mechanics that change each game’s conditions. For example:

Trade Sector: Free reroll each round—perfect for reroll-based comps.

Superdense Galaxy: Free Force of Nature at level 5—ideal for wide trait synergy comps.

Lilac Nebula: All 4-cost champions in the first carousel—pivot into a strong 4-cost carry like Irelia or Jhin.

3. Positioning and Counterplay

Protect your backline carries by positioning them away from Blitzcrank and Infiltrators.

Frontline tanks should be placed strategically to absorb enemy aggro.

Spread out against AoE damage from units like Syndra and Aurelion Sol.

TFT Set 3.5 Revival: Galaxies Reborn brings back some of the most exciting mechanics and compositions from the past. Mastering the best meta comps, understanding item builds, and adapting to game mechanics will give you a competitive edge. Experiment with different strategies, stay flexible, and climb the ranks in this nostalgic yet refreshing set!
