tactics.tools

tactics.tools is a third-party stats and analytics site for Teamfight Tactics (TFT). It collects match data and turns it into browsable stats, comp rankings, trend charts, and planning tools so you can check what's actually performing before you queue. It's most useful if you already know the set basics and want data to settle decisions like which comp to force, which units to prioritize, or how a patch shifted the meta. It is not affiliated with Riot Games, and it isn't a replacement for learning the game — it's a reference layer on top of it.

What the site covers

The navigation reflects the main data categories:

• Stats — unit, item, trait, and augment performance pulled from matches.
• Top Comps — ranked comp lists with play rate, average placement, top 4%, and win%.
• Units / Items / Traits / Augments — per-entity stat pages.
• Explorer — filterable stat queries.
• Trends — how placements and comp strength move over time.
• Tools — Team Builder, Tables, Tier Lists, Perfect Synergies.
• Players — Ranked, Double Up, and Bookmark leaderboards, plus Top Unit Players and a "Wrapped" recap.
• PBE / Patch Notes — upcoming-set and patch information.
• Set info — for the current set (Set 17 in the source) and the next one (Set 18), covering units, traits, items, augments, portals, and a synergy grid.

Reading a comp entry

Each comp card on the Top Comps list carries the same fields, so you can compare them directly. From the source data:

Two things worth noting when you read this table. First, play rate and win rate don't move together: Spellweaver Veigar & Ornn has the highest win% (15.8) at a mid play rate, while the most-played comp (Riftbeast, 0.71) wins less often. High play rate usually means a comp is easy to hit or widely contested, not that it's the strongest. Second, the "Style" column tells you the economy plan — Fast Level 8 comps want you to push levels and roll late, while Reroll comps want you to sit at a level and roll for 3-stars. Match the style to your opening before committing.

Trends and what the numbers mean

The Trends section lists placement values with a delta, e.g. 3.63 (+0.46) or 4.58 (-0.16). The number is the average placement; the signed value is how much it moved. A rising number (positive delta) means that comp or unit is placing worse than before — it got weaker or more contested. A falling number (negative delta) means it's improving. Use this to catch a comp that's being figured out or one that's quietly climbing, rather than only looking at the static ranking.

Tools beyond raw stats

• Team Builder — assemble a board and check its units, traits, and items before you play it.
• Tier Lists — condensed rankings when you just want a shortlist.
• Perfect Synergies — surfaces trait combinations that fit together.
• Explorer / Tables — custom stat cuts when the default pages don't answer your question.
• Match history and leaderboards — look up players, including Ranked, Double Up, and bookmarked lists.

How to actually use it

1. Pick your set and patch first — stats are set-specific, and the site separates live (Set 17) from PBE/next-set (Set 18) data. Don't mix them.
2. Check Top Comps, then filter by your preferred style (Fast 8 vs. reroll) so you're comparing comps you can actually execute.
3. Cross-check the comp's units and items on the unit/item pages before forcing it — a comp can rank well but depend on a contested unit or a specific item.
4. Watch the Trends delta over a few days rather than a single snapshot; one day's movement is noise.
5. Use Team Builder to test your planned board, then take it into a game.

Limits to keep in mind

The site states it isn't endorsed by or affiliated with Riot Games. Stats are aggregated from matches, so they describe what happened, not what will happen — a low play rate comp can have a high win% simply because only experienced players run it. Treat the numbers as evidence for a decision, not a guarantee.

No. tactics.tools is an independent, third-party Teamfight Tactics statistics and tools site. Its own footer states that it "isn't endorsed by Riot Games and doesn't reflect the views or opinions of Riot Games or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot Games properties." Riot Games and its associated properties are identified there as trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc.

That means you can use the site as a stats and planning resource, but it is not an official Riot channel, and its numbers, tier lists, and recommendations are not Riot's positions.

What the disclaimer actually covers

The disclaimer on the site does two separate things:

• No endorsement: Riot has not approved, sponsored, or verified the site.
• No reflected views: the site's content is not Riot's opinion or the opinion of anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot properties.

It also notes that Riot Games and all associated properties are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. This is standard trademark attribution, not a statement of partnership.

What this means in practice

What users should know

• Treat rankings as one input, not a verdict. Comp stats such as play rate, average placement, Top 4 %, and win % describe what has happened in tracked games. They do not guarantee your next game's result.
• Check the patch context. The site's comp data is tied to a set and patch (for example, Set 17 content and a specific patch label). A comp that performs well in one patch can shift after balance changes.
• Use the site's own policies. The footer links to a Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and consent management. If you care about what data the site collects or how it is handled, read those pages rather than assuming Riot's policies apply.
• Keep account safety in mind with any third-party tool. The disclaimer does not make the site official, so normal caution applies: don't hand over credentials to any site that doesn't need them, and be careful with anything that asks for more access than a stats lookup requires.

Bottom line

tactics.tools is a third-party TFT analytics site, not a Riot Games product. Its own footer says it is not endorsed by Riot and does not reflect Riot's views. Use it for stats, comp exploration, and planning, but treat its data as independent analysis and review its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service if you want to know how the site itself operates.

On tactics.tools, a comp's strength is summarized by four numbers: Place, Top 4 %, Win %, and Play Rate. Place (average placement) tells you the typical finish, Top 4 % tells you how often the comp converts into a points finish, Win % tells you how often it wins the lobby outright, and Play Rate tells you how contested it is. Read them together, not one at a time — a high Win % on a tiny Play Rate means something very different from a high Win % on a heavily contested comp.

The core metrics, defined

The site groups comps under labels like Core Flex, Fast Level 8, Level 7 Reroll, and Level 5 Reroll, and tags them with notes such as Items Dependent, Consistent, or High Win %. Those tags describe how the comp is played and what it needs, so treat them as part of the stat line rather than decoration.

Worked example from the site

The Top Comps list shows entries like:

• Riftbeast Amumu & Aphelios — Core Flex, Play Rate 0.71, Place 4.26, Top 4 % 55.2, Win % 12.5, Fast Level 8, Items Dependent, Consistent
• Spellweaver Veigar & Ornn — Core Flex, Play Rate 0.50, Place 4.30, Top 4 % 53.3, Win % 15.8, Level 5 Reroll, Items Dependent, High Win %

Both have similar average placements (4.26 vs 4.30), but they are not the same kind of comp. The Veigar & Ornn line has a noticeably higher Win % (15.8 vs 12.5) while finishing slightly worse on average — that pattern fits a reroll comp that either spikes hard or misses. The Amumu & Aphelios line has a higher Top 4 % (55.2 vs 53.3), which fits a more consistent fast-level-8 comp. If you want steady points, the second profile is usually the safer read; if you need firsts, the first profile is more attractive.

Judging consistency vs. ceiling

• High Top 4 %, moderate Win % → consistent, low-variance comp. Good for climbing.
• Lower Top 4 %, high Win % → high-roll comp. Good for lobbies where you need a first, riskier for steady gains.
• Place close to 4.5 with a low Play Rate → often a niche or under-explored comp; the sample may be thin.
• Place well below 4.0 → usually a sign the comp is either very strong or being played only in favorable spots.

A single number can mislead. A comp with a 4.26 Place but a 0.09 Play Rate (as with Blossom Master Yi) is being played rarely, so its stats rest on far fewer games than a comp at 0.71 Play Rate. Treat low-Play-Rate numbers as provisional.

Sample size and patch changes

Two things move these numbers more than anything else:

1. Sample size. Play Rate is your proxy for it. A comp at 0.71 Play Rate has far more games behind its stats than one at 0.09. Low-play comps can swing several tenths of a placement from a handful of results.
2. Patch version. The site labels comp data by patch (for example, "Top Comps (18.3b)"). When a new patch drops, old numbers describe a game that no longer exists. Always check which patch the stats belong to before acting on them, and give fresh data a few days to accumulate before trusting it.

The site also surfaces Trends — comps with a placement delta shown in parentheses, like 3.63 (+0.46) or 4.58 (-0.16). A positive delta means the comp's average placement has gotten worse; a negative delta means it has improved. This is the fastest way to spot a comp rising or falling within a patch.

A practical reading order

1. Check the patch label on the comp list.
2. Filter by Play Rate to separate well-sampled comps from niche ones.
3. Compare Place and Top 4 % for consistency.
4. Check Win % if you specifically need firsts.
5. Check the Trends delta to see if the comp is moving up or down.
6. Read the tags (Core Flex, Reroll, Items Dependent, Consistent) to understand what the comp demands from you.

Used this way, the numbers tell you not just whether a comp is strong, but whether it fits how you need to play the lobby.

tactics.tools includes a Team Builder that lets you assemble a TFT composition — units, items, augments, and portals — and see how the synergies line up before you commit to it in a real game. It's most useful when you already have a rough idea (a carry you want to build around, or a trait you want to hit) and want to check whether the pieces actually fit together. The tool is listed in the site's main navigation alongside Stats, Top Comps, Units, Items, Traits, and Tier Lists, so you can move between planning and live meta data without leaving the site.

What the Team Builder covers

Based on the site's navigation and Set 18 sections, the builder is organized around the same building blocks the game itself uses:

The site also exposes a Synergy Grid view, which is the piece you'll lean on most when checking whether a board actually connects.

Step-by-step: building and checking a comp

1. Open Team Builder from the top navigation.
2. Add your core units first. Place the carry and the units you consider non-negotiable. Adding these before filler units keeps the trait picture honest.
3. Watch the trait panel update. As each unit goes down, active traits and their tiers change. If a trait you need is sitting one unit short, that's the gap to fill next.
4. Assign items to the carry. Check that the item slots on your main unit match what you'd realistically have at that stage of the game.
5. Add augments and portals if you're planning around a specific one. This is where the Set 18 sections (Units, Traits, Items, Augments, Portals, Synergy Grid) feed directly into the builder.
6. Compare against real data. Switch to Top Comps or Stats and look up the same core. On the site's Top Comps list, comps are shown with a Play Rate, Place, Top 4 %, and Win %, plus tags like Fast Level 8, Level 7 Reroll, Items Dependent, Consistent, and High Win %. If your planned board resembles a listed comp, those numbers tell you how it has actually performed.

Reading the result like a player, not just a builder

The builder tells you a board is legal; the stats pages tell you whether it's good. A few things worth checking after you build:

• Play Rate — how often the comp is actually fielded. A very low play rate on a comp you invented means you're on your own for tuning.
• Place / Top 4 % / Win % — average placement, share of games finishing top 4, and share of first-place finishes. A comp can have a solid Top 4 % but a low Win % (consistent but capped), which the site flags with tags like Consistent versus High Win %.
• Leveling tag — Fast Level 8, Level 7 Reroll, or Level 5 Reroll tells you the economy plan the comp assumes. A board that's strong at Level 8 will feel weak if you're rerolling at 7.
• Items Dependent — means the comp's performance leans heavily on hitting specific items, so plan your carousel and item priority accordingly.

For example, if you build a Riftbeast Amumu & Aphelios board, the site's Top Comps entry for it shows a Play Rate of 0.71, Place 4.26, Top 4 % 55.2, and Win % 12.5, tagged Fast Level 8 and Items Dependent. That combination tells you it's a commonly played, level-8-oriented comp that needs its items — useful context before you decide to force it.

Saving and sharing

The site's navigation includes a Bookmarks section (with an EUW region label in the header), which is where saved comps live. Build your comp, save it to Bookmarks, and you can return to it later or reference it while playing. The exact save and share controls aren't described in the available page content, so treat the Bookmark flow as the place to look rather than assuming a specific button layout.

Common snags

• Traits that look active but aren't. Emblems and trait-granting augments change the count. Re-check the synergy grid after adding augments, not just after adding units.
• Planning for items you won't have. The builder lets you place any item; the game won't. Cross-check against the Items Dependent tag and your realistic item economy.
• Ignoring the leveling tag. The single most common planning mistake is building a Level 8 board while your actual game plan is a Level 7 reroll.
• Treating a legal board as a strong board. Always sanity-check against Top Comps and Stats before committing.

tactics.tools is a fan-made resource and is not endorsed by Riot Games.

You can view your Teamfight Tactics match history on tactics.tools by using the site's player search, which pulls up your recent games along with placement, comp, and item data. This works for any player on supported Riot regions, and you don't need to install anything — just know your Riot ID. The value comes from reading the numbers correctly: a single bad placement means little, but patterns across 20+ games show what's actually holding your rank back.

Finding Your Match History

tactics.tools organizes its tools around a top navigation bar that includes Players, Ranked Leaderboards, Double Up Leaderboards, and Match History-related views. The site also exposes a region selector (the page evidence shows "EUW" as the active region), so the first thing to confirm is that you're searching the region your account actually plays on.

The general flow:

1. Open tactics.tools and go to the player search (linked from the Players entry in the nav).
2. Enter your Riot ID in the format GameName#TAG.
3. Select the correct region if it isn't auto-detected.
4. Open your profile to see recent matches.

Expected result: a list of your recent games with placement, the comp you played, and the units/items involved. If nothing comes back, the usual causes are a wrong region, a Riot ID typo (the tag is case-sensitive in some regions), or a very new account that Riot's API hasn't indexed yet.

What Each Match Record Tells You

Once your games load, each entry is a small performance report. The fields worth reading, and what they actually mean:

The site's own comp data gives you a benchmark to compare against. For example, the current Top Comps board (patch 18.3b) lists entries like Riftbeast Amumu & Aphelios with a 4.26 average placement, 55.2% top-4 rate, and 12.5% win rate, tagged as a "Fast Level 8" comp. If you're forcing that comp and averaging a 6th, the gap between your placement and the 4.26 benchmark is the signal — not the comp itself.

Turning History Into Decisions

Raw match history is only useful if you convert it into one or two concrete changes. A practical routine:

• Filter to one comp or one playstyle. If you've played 30 games across 12 comps, you can't isolate a leak. Look at the 8–10 games where you ran the same core and compare their placements.
• Check your top-4 rate against the comp's benchmark. The Top Comps board shows both average placement and top-4 %. If a comp's benchmark top-4 rate is ~55% and yours is 30% over a meaningful sample, the problem is execution (positioning, item priority, econ), not the comp choice.
• Look at win rate separately from top-4 rate. A comp like Spellweaver Veigar & Ornn is tagged "High Win %" (15.8%) but has a lower top-4 rate (53.3%) than the Amumu comp — meaning it's a higher-variance, higher-ceiling line. If your history shows lots of 4ths and few 1sts, you may be playing safe lines when you need to convert.
• Note the level/timing tag. Comps marked "Fast Level 8" versus "Level 7 Reroll" demand completely different econ. If your match history shows you hitting level 8 late on a fast-8 comp, that's a fixable, repeatable mistake.

Common Pitfalls

• Judging on too few games. Placement variance in TFT is high; 5 games tells you almost nothing. Aim for 20+ before drawing conclusions.
• Ignoring the patch. The Top Comps data shown is tied to a specific patch (18.3b in the evidence). A comp that was strong two patches ago may not be now — always check the current patch label.
• Confusing your region's data with global. Leaderboards and stats are region-filtered; make sure you're comparing against the right pool.
• Treating the site's comps as prescriptive. They're statistical summaries of what's winning, not a guarantee. Your lobby, your items, and your spot in the game still decide the right line.
