Overview
One of the most critical skills for players to learn in today's TFT is the ability to decide what comp you're playing, and the earlier you can decide on that, the better. An earlier decision lets you be more committal about what units to hold, what items to make, what items to go for, and what augments to select. This guide will walk you down the decision tree based on what units you're able to find earlier. You can find a full list of comps and item here on our TFT Comps page.
Note that some of these comps are going to be less good depending on the patch, so make sure you stay up to date with what's good or not on our comps page. There may be some overlap with units, so you can use your augments or items to help decide which route is better.
We'll keep updating this as comps shuffle in and out of the meta. Some units, like Ezreal and Garen, aren't going to be listed here. You should also note that you can click pretty much every single hero Augment and play comps built around them right now. There are also other comps that can be okay depending on the situation, but these should be the main lines for you to learn (and there's already a lot here)!
