TFT Emblem Finder · Patch 18.5

Pick the emblems you are holding — up to 3 — and get the Set 18 comps they fit, ranked on live ranked data. Every result says who holds each emblem, which carry your items go on, and how many games stand behind its average placement. Add the completed items you already hold to see which comps use them.

Your emblems (1/3)
Items you already hold (optional)

Items never change the order. Each comp shows which of them its own builds use, and on which unit.

How it works

  1. Pick the emblems you hold. One answers “what do I play with this?”; two or three find boards that use them all.
  2. We test each emblem on every comp on the tier list: which trait tier it reaches, and whether a unit without the trait can hold it.
  3. Comps are ranked by that fit and by average placement on live ranked games; in Emblem First a very small sample ranks lower.
  4. Optionally mark completed items you hold. They never reorder the list; each comp shows which ones its builds use.

Reading a result

  • Fit — build-around unlock, splash unlock, build-around, or progress only.
  • Place — the unit that should hold each emblem on that board.
  • Slam items on — the board’s carry and its most-built items.
  • Avg · games — the board’s own average placement and sample.

FAQ

How does the TFT emblem finder rank comps?

It ranks the comps on the current Set 18 tier list by what your emblems do to each board. Emblem First puts boards the emblem unlocks or deepens a trait on first; Meta First lists the strongest boards that already run the trait. With two or three emblems, boards that place every one on its own legal holder come first.

Who should hold my emblem?

A unit that does not already have the trait — an emblem on a native unit adds nothing. Each result names the holder the placement check picks for every emblem, and says when an emblem cannot be placed or would leave its trait switched off.

Do the items I hold change the ranking?

No. Our data shows which items each board’s players build, not how a board places when you already hold a given item, so items only mark which of yours a comp uses and on which unit. The order always comes from the emblems.

Items by emblem

For the emblems with enough recorded builds this patch: the items their boards put on the carry, and what those builds average.
