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.

What is the current TFT meta in TFT Set 16?

The TFT Set 16 meta is dominated by Blacksmith/Harvester with 0.9% pick rate, followed by Bruiser/Ionia at 0.6%. High pick rate comps define the meta but are often contested. For uncontested games, consider less popular alternatives like Eternal/Disruptor (0.1% pick rate).

Should I avoid playing popular comps in TFT?

Not necessarily. Popular comps like Blacksmith/Harvester (0.9% pick rate) are popular for a reason—they're strong. However, when multiple players contest the same comp, everyone's placement suffers. Scout your lobby early. If 2+ players are forcing the same comp, pivot to alternatives to avoid fighting for units.
