(Update Aug 28: Attack Speed Cap has been increased to 5 in TFT Patch 9.17. Previously it was capped at 2.5.
Update Aug 14: TFT Patch 9.16 didn’t bring any changed to Rageblade, so everything detailed below still applies.
Update Aug 7: Patch 9.15B Update – Rageblade now grants 5% per stack, up from 4% in previous patch. You can read full TFT Patch 9.15B notes here.)
If you played or watched a few dozen TFT games, you’ve probably seen Kassadin, Vayne, Varus or Volibear with 2 Guinsoo’s Rageblade on them.
[TFT] Does Rageblade Stack in Teamfight Tactics?I’m pretty sure it was frustrating to deal with and now you’re thinking about trying this build, but you’re wondering “Does Guinsoo’s Rageblade Stack in Teamfight Tactics?“.
When TFT was first released on the live server, available to everyone, many people complained about the item drops from minion rounds, so many new players wanted to just leave after the first 3 rounds, that’s why they wondered when can you surrender in TFT?
If you’re new to Teamfight Tactics, you might wonder what does disarm do in TFT? Is it worth buying the Sword Breaker?
TFT: What Does Disarm Do?
Disarm is a form of Crowd Control that disables basic attacks. Basically, a champion that’s disarmed can’t auto-attack for the duration of this effect.
TFT Sword Breaker: Disarm your enemies
TFT Sword Breaker: What Does Disarm Do?
There is an item in TFT that does just this: Sword Breaker. It has a 25% chance on-hit to Disarm for 4 seconds the unit being attacked. Also, since it’s built out of a Chain Vest and a Negatron Cloak, it also grants the champion that’s wearing it 20 Armor and 20 Magic Resist.
This makes it very effective versus units that rely heavily on basic attacks, like a level 2 Draven with Rageblade, Bloodthirster and Rapid Firecannon. Basically, it is good versus Varus or any other ranged carry with attack speed items on them.
This is a pretty common question among players that are new to TFT: how can I remove items from a champion?
The simple answer is: you can’t just remove them, it doesn’t work like adding an item to unit, where you need to drag and drop the item on top of the champion.
This is why it’s frustrating for new players, but the implications of this are even more important.
How to Remove Items from a Champion in TFT?
Currently, there’s only way to remove items from a champ in TFT and that is to sell that unit.
That’s why it’s important to think twice before you put an item on any of your units and I’ll explain this below.
Runaan’s Hurricane is considered by many experienced TFT players a top tier item in Teamfight Tactics, so most beginners just follow their advice and build Runaan’s on champions like Ashe or Vayne, without asking themselves why is it good on certain champions.
Does Runaan’s apply on hit effects in TFT?
One of the most common questions regarding Runaan’s in TFT is if it applies on-hit effects, as it does in League of Legends.
The short answer is: YES, it does.
Does Runaan’s Hurricane apply on hit effects in TFT?
In Patch 9.14, Runaan’s Hurricane has been updated, and it now does apply on-hit effects. This is actually a major buff for it, even though it now attacks only 1 additional target for only 25% (previously it fired 2 additional attacks and they dealt 50% damage each).
6 Knights 4 Imperials or 6 Knights 2 Rangers are top tier this meta, which makes every lobby have at least 1-2 players rushing for Spatula in order to get a Knight’s Vow to get the 6 knights buff.
Many new Teamfight Tactic players often wonder what does Spatula do in TFT? Its description says nothing about it, so is it worth going after in Shared Draft Rounds?
Absolutely!
What Does Spatula Do in TFT
Spatula is one of the best basic items in the game in the current meta (we consider it S-tier, being top 2 alongside the Recurve Bow) and we already wrote another in-depth article explaining why is Spatula good in TFT.
But in this article we’ll focus on explaining what it does and how to use it.
What Does Spatula do in TFT?
The short answer is: by itself, it does nothing; but combined with other basic items, it upgrades into some of the most powerful items in the game in the current meta. (Note: The S-tier items list might change considering TFT is in its early stages so the game is updated quite often; we’ll do our best to keep the articles on this website updated for the recent patches).
There are 8 unique items that require Spatula in their recipe, and 6 of them change your unit Class or Origin, while the other 2 give you other perks.
As a Teamfight Tactics beginner, you might wonder, why is Spatula good? And actually what does the Spatula do?
What makes it so OP that people prioritize it in Shared Drafts (also known as Champion Carousel), they go for 1 Gold champs that have Spatula, instead of picking higher Gold champions?
TFT: Why is Spatula Good?
If you judge the Spatula item by its description, it seems useless “It must do something…” (here RIOT could have done a better job explaining a bit more this item), but actually it’s the best basic item in Teamfight Tactics in the current meta.
So if all the other basic TFT items give you some extra stats when you equip them, what makes Spatula so good? This is what we’ll discuss in this article.
What makes Spatula the best basic item in TFT?
Spatula is a basic item required for getting some of the top tier TFT items in the current meta, like Force of Nature, Darkin, Frozen Mallet or Runaan’s Hurricane.
You already know that a champion uses his ability once his mana bar is filled up completely. But some champions have a larger mana bar, and in order to allow them to increase the chances of casting off their ulti at least once, they start the fight with a certain amount of mana (without taking into consideration the items that increase mana).
Rek’Sai starts with 50 Mana
Let’s take Rek’Sai for example.
TFT Rek’Sai Starting Mana
She has a mana bar of 150 and she would need to auto-attack 15-20 times before her mana bar fills up so she can use her ability “Burrow”. Or she needs to take a lot of damage to regen all that mana, and probably won’t survive, because she’s quite squishy at level 1 (here’s our complete guide to mana regen in TFT).
But to balance things s bit and increase the chances of her getting to use her special ability at least once before she dies, she starts the fight with 50 mana.
