Top comps right now

  • Executioner Kennen: 80.8% top 4, 2.90 avg over 36,907 boards, the highest top-four rate on the list. The board around Kennen runs Soraka, Azir, Fiddlesticks, Zyra and Ezreal.
  • Elderwood Gnar: 74.8% top 4, 3.20 avg over 34,099 boards. The trait only performs like this with Gnar carrying: Elderwood Ezreal sits in B tier and Elderwood LeBlanc in D.
  • Executioner Ezreal: 72.6% top 4, 3.32 avg over 24,131 boards, a second Executioner board in the top three.
  • Summoner Kennen: 72.5% top 4, 3.39 avg over 20,601 boards. It is the smallest sample in S tier, so its exact spot is the least settled.
  • Juggernaut Maokai: 71.8% top 4, 3.27 avg over 72,412 boards, the most played S-tier comp. A top-tier rate on a sample that large is the safest read in the data.

Each row shows the top-four rate, average placement and board count. Within a tier, comps sit in score order, so a comp played more often can rank just above one with a slightly higher rate: Greenfather Ivern at 62.4% top 4 sits ahead of Inferno Kennen at 62.5% top 4 in A tier.

Tier breakdown

S tier

S-tier comps all post a top-four rate of 71.8% or higher, led by two Executioner boards and two Kennen carries. Commit to one when your opening points that way and the lobby is not already contesting it; Juggernaut Maokai, the most played in the tier at 72,412 boards, is the safest read on the data.

A tier

A-tier comps land between 62.1% and 70.6% top 4 and include the most played comp on the whole list, Flora Fatalis Zyra at 80,757 boards. They are reliable second choices when an S-tier comp is contested or your items point elsewhere.

B tier

B tier is the widest band, running from 61.6% down to 45.1% top 4, so its top and bottom entries perform very differently. Lean on the upper half, led by Greenfather Maokai, and treat the lower entries as fallback boards.

C tier

C-tier comps sit between 34.7% and 44.1% top 4, and some are played heavily anyway, including Solar Kayle at 75,153 boards. Pick from here only when your board is already committed and a pivot would cost more than it saves.

D tier

D-tier comps all finish top four at 34.0% or lower, with Rival Kha’Zix at the bottom on 20.9% top 4. Do not plan around them; land here only when the game leaves you no better pivot.

How to use this tier list

Treat the tiers as a ranking of plans, then let your opening, your items and the lobby pick the plan. A clean A-tier board you can hit beats an S-tier comp three other players are already fighting over, and a comp you know well will outplace one you are learning mid-game. Scout early, note which carries are contested, and commit to the strongest comp your board and components actually support.

Same carry, different trait

The trait you build around a carry moves the result as much as the carry itself. Ezreal shows it clearly: Executioner Ezreal posts 72.6% top 4 in S tier, Flora Fatalis Ezreal drops to A tier, and Elderwood Ezreal falls to 48.9% top 4 in B. Kennen is the opposite case, holding up across Executioner, Summoner, Greenfather and Inferno boards, which makes him a flexible carry to hold early.

Play counts and placements do not always line up. Solar Kayle is the most played comp in C tier at 75,153 boards but finishes top four only 34.7% of the time. Flora Fatalis Zyra, the most played comp on the whole list at 80,757 boards, earns its A-tier spot with 65.5% top 4, so a crowded comp can still be a good one.

Key takeawayClimbing with this list

Use the data to choose a direction, not to force one comp every game.

  1. Aim for S or A tier, and drop to the next comp when your lobby contests the carry.
  2. Check the trait as well as the carry, since the same unit can land in S tier or B tier.
  3. Avoid D-tier comps as a plan and only finish there when the game leaves no better pivot.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best TFT comp right now?

Executioner Kennen is the best TFT comp in our data as of 8 October 2026. It has the highest top-four rate on the list at 80.8% top 4, with a 2.90 average placement across 36,907 Set 18 boards. Elderwood Gnar and Executioner Ezreal round out the top three in S tier.

How is this TFT comps tier list ranked?

We cluster Set 18 boards from the last 5 days by main trait and carry, then rank each comp by a score combining top-four rate and pick rate. The top-four rate is shrunk toward the average by sample size, so thin samples cannot jump the list, and every comp needs at least 200 boards.

Is Solar Kayle a good TFT comp?

Solar Kayle is not a strong pick in our data. It is the most played comp in C tier at 75,153 boards but finishes top four only 34.7% of the time, with a 5.31 average placement. Juggernaut Maokai and Flora Fatalis Zyra place far better on similarly large samples.

What does top 4 rate mean in TFT?

Top 4 rate is the share of games a comp finishes in the top half of the lobby, the placements that gain LP in ranked TFT. For climbing it matters more than first-place rate. Executioner Kennen leads our list at 80.8% top 4, while Rival Kha’Zix has the lowest rate at 20.9% top 4.
