Overview
Exotech Vex surged in prominence throughout TFT Patch 14.2 thanks to being a reliable level 8 comp, and it's centered around Vex and Varus. Below is the board you're looking to play.
When to Play
You have Morgana and Jax early
Your first two exo tech items are Hyper Fang or Holobow (both good on Varus)
You have a tear and don't know what else to play
How to Play
This is a comp that follows a standard leveling curve, which you can read more in depth about here.
Stage | Level |
|---|---|
2-1 | Buy XP to hit Level 4 |
2-5 | Level 5 |
3-2 | Level 6 |
4-1 | Level 7 |
4-2 | Level 8 + Roll until stable* |
5-2 | Level 9 |
5-5 | Level 9 (if not earlier) |
6-1 | Level 9 (if neither of previous timings worked) |
Blue Buff + Gunblade are the two non-negotiable items for this comp, though in a pinch you can get away with other items as long as you were winning early.
If your 2nd Exotech item isn't very good, you can drop down to 3 Exotech and play any Divinicorps or 5-cost units you find instead.
The end game cap almost always revolves around finding Aurora, Viego, and Renekton -- you can drop down to 3 exotech (usually keep Varus, Mordekaiser, and Sejuani) for these units.
Best Items
Vex | Varus |
|---|---|
Sejuani | Viego |
|---|---|
Win Conditions
Level 9 with Viego 2 and Aurora 2
If uncontested (rest of lobby is playing Zeri and Brand, for example), you can look for Vex 3
This is a good comp to pivot into from a Cypher opener
