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 Illaoi pivot strategies to adapt to your lobby and secure consistent top 4 finishes in TFT Set 16.
