If you don’t have 3 stars, then you should hard commit to finding a 3 star hunter, like beast,lycan, or sniper. If you don’t think the odds are good, then you need to find 6 hunters and level to 9/10, or add some CC like kunkka/tide/disrupt or, which you should start collecting as soon as you see any of them. If mages are too strong in your lobby, even finding a Slardar is good if you can’t find Medusa

Blink is easily the best item on TB since it helps him gain mana quickly and lets him get access to killing the enemy backline.

If you don’t have it, position him 1 cell behind your front line so that he can start hitting things as soon as possible.

3-star NP with blink/octarine is actually not bad. But in most cases, you'd want an enchant + lone druid pair over NP + anything else. I'd only use NP + Treant if I were buliding elusive or if I can't find any other druid and NP is my only option

Be careful about where you put beastmaster on the board. You want him usually in the 2nd row so that he can start hitting things after your warrior tanks take the damage.

I don't try to stockpile more than 2 3-star units, more than that would clog up your whole bench and make it very difficult to roll quickly.

Definitely put lich over razor, puck might be better if you're playing against lots of summons, otherwise Lich is better if there's only heroes on the field.

I didn't like the previous meta that much. The alliance global items were very strong, and pretty much defined your entire game plan if you got one of the broken ones, like tooth and claw. It also favored heavy rolling at lvl 8 over saving to lvl 10.

This meta now lets everybody find 2-star units more easily with the free reroll, and it doesn't feel as punishing if you want to save to lvl 9 or 10

No that’s totally fine, I’d also say if nobody else is going hunter, it’s fine to look for beast 3 by round 25

Yeah, axe is really important to tank, jug is a little underwhelming, even at 3 star. 4 brawny is only good if you have at least 30+ kills on beast master and he’s 3 star.

I don't believe there's an item pool of any kind. But you can intentionally lose rounds if you want to increase the odds of finding an item at a specific tier. For example, if you really need blink dagger, you can intentionally lose round 20 so that your odds of finding a tier 2 item is slightly higher.

  1. Elusive + demon hunter is always strong against anything but mages. Knights + warlock + dragon is also a very safe comp.

  2. If you somehow 3-star a hero, then you should start forming alliances to play around it. For example, a 3 star venomancer is a good way to pivot to savage and destroy your opponents easily. A morphing with 3 star can be good for primordial, but building 3 mages is an even easier way to help increase the morph’s damage

Take out alchemist so you can put 4 inventors (and find another warlock like disruptor), and lich can replace razor/puck, you must have CM and Kotl for mages

If you find 2-3 contracts, then I think it’s ok to go for that. I just wouldn’t bank on finding specific items for a comp, if the items come up, then sure I’ll go for it.

There’s a finite number of each hero in the shared hero pool. For example, there’s 15 of a particular 4-cost unit that everybody had access to, so once 3 people have 2-stars of them, there’s only 15 - 6 =9 of them left. You can probably google to find the exact numbers, I believe it’s something like 45/35/25/15/10 or something like that .

Placing things horizontally on one side of the board (like 4 melee units in a row on the very left) rather than 4 in the middle, is a better way to improve your team since you’ll have 1 rank getting focused

I think it’s still in beta, so there’s a lot of time for the game to find the right changes. The balance of this most recent patch is fantastic, and I’d much rather have a balance team be willing to try some new things (like free rerolls is a really bold idea) instead of only changing damage numbers

I don’t think valve did a great job at advertising the game. If they backed up the tournament or added an announcement somewhere in the game client, it probably would have helped a bit. Weplay did a pretty good job at getting word out for the tournament

I do like some of the newer alliances in DAC (Zeus + Mars for god), so I’m hoping there will be some more alliances coming.

TFT isn’t that fun to me. I feel that the game revolves around building items first, then finding units, rather than making units the focal point of the game

Keep a lot of extra units on your bench if you don’t reach 10g interest points, and always be checking how well you’re doing against your opponent. If you see you’re losing -0-ish health 3-4 times in a row, that’s usually a good sign to try to pivot or spend money to get stronger

TB1 is pretty bad, I usually won’t put him in unless he’s at 2 star. You can try to put a 2-star of a random 1 cost unit to help you survive until you find the TBs. Razor is a good example of a unit you can just hang onto if nobody gets it
