Top Performing Compositions

The highest win rate composition is Caretaker/Defender with Aphelios as the primary carry, achieving a 98.4% win rate. Following closely is Bruiser/Caretaker at 96.3% win rate, and Bruiser/Caretaker at 95.1%. These compositions represent the strongest options in the current meta for players looking to maximize their LP gains.

Caretaker/Defender (Late Game): scales into late game with consistent top 4 finishes — build around Aphelios
Bruiser/Caretaker (Late Game): scales into late game with consistent top 4 finishes — build around Aphelios
Bruiser/Caretaker (Late Game): scales into late game with consistent top 4 finishes — build around Sion

Best for Winning Lobbies

TFT Team Comps - Set 16 FAQ

What is the best TFT comp in TFT Set 16?

The best TFT comp in TFT Set 16 is Caretaker/Defender with Aphelios as the primary carry, achieving a 98.4% win rate and 1.95 average placement. This composition is effective for climbing ranked and consistently places in top 4.

How do I play the Caretaker/Defender comp?

To play Caretaker/Defender, focus on building around Aphelios as your main carry. Look for Aphelios and supporting units early, prioritize items that synergize with your carry, and aim to hit your power spike by level 7-8. This comp has a 0.1% pick rate, making it a relatively uncontested option.

What comps are good for climbing in TFT Set 16?

For consistent LP gains in TFT Set 16, Chronokeeper/Emperor offers the best average placement at 1.94. Other reliable options include Caretaker/Defender (1.95 avg) and Bruiser/Caretaker (2.05 avg). Consistent comps minimize bottom 4 finishes and provide steady climbing.

What is the easiest TFT comp to play?

Caretaker/Defender is a great option for players looking for an easier climb. With a 98.4% win rate but only 0.1% pick rate, you're unlikely to be contested, making the game easier to navigate. Low contestation means you can naturally find your units without having to force pivots.

When should I force a comp vs flex in TFT Set 16?

In TFT Set 16, Blacksmith/Harvester has a 0.9% pick rate, meaning it's heavily contested. If you see others going for it, consider flexing into alternatives like Caretaker/Defender. Force a comp when you hit early units and items, or when it's uncontested. Flex when you see 2+ players competing for the same units.

Which TFT comp wins lobbies most often in TFT Set 16?

Chronokeeper/Emperor achieves first place in 67.7% of games, making it the best comp for winning lobbies outright. Defender/Longshot follows at 43.5% first place rate. If your goal is to win rather than just top 4, prioritize these high-ceiling compositions.

When should I play for first place vs top 4?

Play for first when you have a high-ceiling comp like Chronokeeper/Emperor (67.7% first rate) and hit your power spike with optimal items. Play for top 4 when you're contested, have suboptimal items, or need to preserve LP. In ranked, consistent top 4s often climb faster than coinflipping for first.
