This Teamfight Tactics traits tier list places 48 traits for Set 16, from S-tier down to F-tier. Placement combines win rate, pick rate and how much match data sits behind each result, so it is not a straight win-rate sort — an entry with a high win rate over few games ranks below a steadier one. The S-tier — the 5 strongest traits right now — features Chainbreaker (75.5%), Riftscourge (74.8%), Rune Mage (66.7%), Eternal (65.7%), and Harvester (64.9%). Chainbreaker posts the single highest win rate at 75.5%. For players hunting an edge, Riftscourge is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 1.5% pick rate — while Juggernaut looks overrated, popular at 11.6% but landing in D-tier. Rankings update daily from real ranked matches, so every placement reflects current performance rather than a one-off result. Use the tiers below to pick the best traits for your games.
The Recommended Comps overlay shows the strongest meta comps matched to the traits and units you're already running — with win rate, average placement, and 1st-place odds — without ever leaving TFT.
