Recognizing when to pivot is just as important as knowing what to pivot to. Scout your lobby early and often - if you see 2 or more players building the same Murkwolf composition, consider transitioning to one of these alternative builds. The best time to pivot is typically during Stage 3-4, before you've fully committed your gold and items to the contested build. Remember that a completed pivot comp with 2-star units will almost always outperform a contested comp stuck at 1-star. Use these Murkwolf pivot strategies to adapt to your lobby and secure consistent top 4 finishes in TFT Set 18.
