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 Bard as the primary carry, achieving a 95.7% win rate and 1.96 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 Bard as your main carry. Look for Bard 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, Caretaker/Defender offers the best average placement at 1.96. Other reliable options include The Boss/Bruiser (2.10 avg) and Bruiser/Caretaker (2.17 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 95.7% 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 most consistent TFT comp in TFT Set 16?

Caretaker/Defender has the best average placement at 1.96, making it the most consistent comp for climbing. The Boss/Bruiser follows at 2.10, and Bruiser/Caretaker at 2.17. Lower average placement means fewer bottom 4 finishes.

Is average placement better than win rate for climbing?

For consistent LP gains, average placement is often more reliable than pure win rate. A comp like Caretaker/Defender with 1.96 average placement minimizes big LP losses from bottom 4 finishes. High variance comps might win more lobbies but also 8th more often. For climbing, consistency usually beats coinflip strategies.
