TFT: Tier list of the best compositions in Set 5
The composition Sett Reroll with Brawler (Brawler) and Draconic
Sept. is quite easy to pass 3 stars thanks to Draconic, and then it can become extremely dangerous with attack damage items. It is also accompanied by Brawlers (Brawler) which make it tanky, while Nunu 3 stars is a very interesting secondary carry option.
In the late game, you can easily add several legendary units to improve your composition, including Heimerdinger et Teemo. If you find a Heimerdinger very quickly, you can also play 5 Draconic for a few rounds in order to have golden eggs.
When to Play Comp and Victory Conditions
When to play the composition
This composition depends on certain specific conditions to be truly effective. You don't need to meet them all, but try to meet at least one of these conditions:
- You have your 3 Draconics at the Krugs at the latest : Ideally you want to play composition when you find a Zyra or Ashe in PVE rounds, because the sooner you have your Draconics the more likely you are to get Sett 3.
- You are not more than 2 players on the composition : This composition is ideal if you are alone on it, but can be played with 2 if necessary. However, avoid playing it if you are more than 2.
Top 1 Conditions
You will generally need circumstances going your way to win the game.
- Sett and Nunu 3 stars with the right items : Sett 3 with good items is needed for top 4, while Nunu 3 can make the difference to get to top 1.
- Level 9 with Heimerdinger, Volibear, Teemo... : Generally, once you have your 3-star Sett you can race up to level 9 to play powerful legendary champions.

TFT: Tier list of items from Set 5
Sett (carry principal)
Sept. is your primary carry, so its items are your top priority. It is not very flexible, ideally requiring a healing item, a damage item and third freer option, often defensive.
The combination of Thirst for blood et Infinity blade which allow him to crit and heal himself with his spell, works well with the Will of the Titan which loads very quickly with its area crits.

Nunu 3 stars is very interesting to have. It usually equips your defensive objects leftovers, but can also use a Pistolame hextech to heal on the huge damage of his spell.

Other Interesting Items
Morellonomicon (shadow or normal) : Anti-healing is always interesting, and this item is extremely powerful on volibear which applies it to almost everyone.
Items for Abomination : If you can't find Heimerdinger and Teemo, you can play 3 Abominations at the end of the game. In this case, try to have at least one object on Brand and Ryze.
What to do with a Spatula?
Spellweaver (
+ ) : Change Heimerdinger in Spellweaver gives him a relevant magic power boost.
Revenant (
+ 
): Having Revenant 3 is interesting at the end of the game. He can go on Nunu ou Heimerdinger for example.
As usual, the 
Force of nature is always a great option.

TFT Glossary: All Terms and Expressions Explained
Early game (Stage 2)
Level 4 (2-1)
One of the best indicators for playing this composition is when you find Ashe ou Zyra in one of Stage 1 boxes, sometimes allowing you to play 3 Draconic since the round 2-1.
Generally speaking, you directly want pass level 4 in round 2-1 to increase your chances of finding Sept., Zyra, Ashe... You can even pre-level : buy XP in round 1-4, causing you to level up at the start of the round 2-1 and thus giving you access to a level 4 shop.
If you see that your board is weak (few 2-star champions, no good slam items), you can do a losing streak which will give you priority at the carousel. You should be able to stabilize at stage 3 anyway.
Level 5 (Round 2-5 or 2-7)
In most situations you want to pass level 5 in round 2-5 to add for example a second Spellweaver ou Ranger if you play Ashe.
If you are in losing streak and you can reach a higher economy tier by keeping your gold, you can instead wait for the round 2-7.
During the stage 2, remember that you want collect as much gold as possible, even if it means not buying Warwick to gragas for example if it allows you to pass your interest levels more quickly. Since you're going to slow roll to level 6 anyway, you'll track them down.
Midgame (Stages 3 and 4)
Level 6 (Round 3-2)
When you arrive at round 3-2, you should pass 6 level and start looking Sett 3 stars. You then have two options:
- You have a lot of copies of Sett (6 or more) : you can roll at this time until you find your last copies, even if it means going to 0 gold. You will then be able to boost your economy once you have it.
- You have less than 6 copies : you will have to “slow roll” in Stage 3.
Slow roll consists roll your excess gold above 50 (or 40, 30) gold every round, in order to unlock your 3 star champions. In this scenario, stay level 6 to the maximum and buy all Sept. that you find. As soon as you are only missing one or two copies, do not hesitate to roll until you find your upgrade.
Don't forget that the eggs of Draconic also give you Sept.. If you have a lot of Zyra, you can consider playing it as well 3 stars. It's the same for Nunu.
Once you have Sett 3 stars, boost your economy then start again pass levels. Ideally, you don't want to roll to level 9 anymore.
Level 7 (Round 4-2 or 4-5)
You should most often pass level 7 at the beginning or middle of Stage 4, depending on the state of your economy. You can then play a Brand for example who can hold the morellonomicon and give spell weaver.
Endgame (Stage 5+)
Level 8 (Round 5-1 or 5-2)
If you had a great economy or were in winning streak at stage 3/4, you can climb level 8 and 5-1. Otherwise, wait round 5-2 indeed 5-5 if you can really afford it. If you had a big dragon egg, you can pass level 8 early just before opening it to have chances to find a Heimerdinger in.
Since you want avoid roll (unless you're very low on HP) you won't always have the opportunity to naturally find legendary units like Heimerdinger et Teemo for example. In this case, you can play Abominations in place.
If you have lots of HP or if you found a Heimerdinger very early, you can also switch to 5 Draconic for a few rounds to have golden eggs. However, avoid staying there too long because it weakens your board: once you have your eggs, they will hatch even if you remove your Draconic.
In most situations, you want to go straight to the 9 level to increase your chances of finding legendary champions: Teemo, Heimerdinger, volibear...
Level 9 (Stage 6)
Au 9 level, your first priority will be to pass your legendary champions in 2 stars, in particular Heimerdinger et volibear. For Teemo, only do this if you still have plenty of VP as it costs a total of 18 VP (less if you can get one on the carousel).
You can then add different champions: Thread is a great option for lowering magic resistance, but you can also add Mystics (Kindred, Ryze...) or switch to 4 Enchanters (Invoker) with Karma et syndra. Feel free to remove Zyra if she is not 3 stars : your bonus Draconic is no longer very useful at this point.
Positioning Tips
Sept. should always be positioned at one end of the board so that it is not the first to be targeted by opposing champions. Ideally, you want him on the same side as the carries so he has a chance to hit them with his spell and potentially one-shot them.
If you have Nunu 3 stars, try to position it facing the main tank (Taric, Rell, Volibear...): with its pure damage, it has a chance of one-shotting it before it even has time to cast its spell.
When you play Zyra et / ou Ashe, try to position them opposite the opposing carries so that their spell goes in the right direction and hits priority targets. Finally, avoid putting the turret Heimerdinger on the same side as him, so that if one of the two dies quickly the other should stay alive.
