Below are the best pivot compositions that share core units with the optimal Sentinel build, allowing for a smooth transition without sacrificing too much board strength.

When to Pivot Your Sentinel TFT Comp

Recognizing when to pivot is just as important as knowing what to pivot to.

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 Sentinel pivot strategies to adapt to your lobby and secure consistent top 4 finishes in TFT Set 18.
