If you think about it, this game is kinda like life, you may have an ideal outcome about things but most of the time, you can only improvise and be optimistic with what you get. It also shows that being successful is more of being able to make things work despite things not going your way.

great guide! I'd love to see a video about the differences in onhit/magic damage/true dmg and interactions with armor, mana... Basically explaining what items go on which units, what effects it gives and how to counter stuff. Also a great way to make people mess with different things and test out new strategies! (like demon volibear, shrink gunslingers, deathcap blitz...)

What I love most about you, Scarra, is that you're not egotistic at all, I mean, you're full of knowledge, sure, but not full of yourself. It's refreshing, and educational. I reached Diamond 3 in TFT and I give you the credit for it quite honestly. Greetings from France !

[@justjayyp]

Thank you...needed this...i always tend to focus and tunnel on a comp and then get destroyed before i can pull it off...Love these guides..

[@socho1]

Literally learned how to transition today and have won 2 out of my 3 games. It’s insanely helpful. Usually what I have learned is that transitioning into either elementalists + rangers 2 glacials, 4 glacials + rangers, or draven hyper carry + imperialists knights / glacials with frost mallet is the easiest and most common transition that ends with insanely good results. Things like demons are way too unreliable for me and sorcerors are way too hard to get or win with (due to the lack of tanks)

[@haygoof]

Scarra your tft content is absolutely banging! You're really good at explaining concepts in a simple and concise way. Thanks for the help man

[@RobCastov]

I really struggle to pivot in the game, thanks for this scarra.

[@Halvoc-m9r]

It was due to this guide that I just won my two rank games back to back and was promoted to S4...It's not the RNG guys...it really is about your strategy and decision making skills. Learning how to transition was a GAME changer...after this guide, I now don't rush for that 6 man comp...my end synergy is usually a mix of synergies (usually just the tier 1 synergy).

[@Mdennist]

Awesome video, thank you! This was very helpful. - I wouldn't mind seeing a video on item usage next - when to hold, the best time to start combining without sacrificing options if you can't build the comp you are working toward, whether you should lean on defense or damage first, scenarios like should you build Guinsoo's to get your ADC going or use the Rod for a Locket instead, - - and if you are feeling ambitious maybe a section for what items synergize well with certain champions.

[@AmaiarAiramand]

Wow, I can't wait for TF to finally go out so I can start pivoting for my early 6 Sorc comp Wait a second...

[@kai-xuanyao4666]

Sad that only Asol and Karth can delete teams..

[@bigdonkey9417]

Right if only assassin didn’t exist

[@KyussTheWalkingWorm]

@@kai-xuanyao4666 The carry doesn't need to be a sorcerer itself since sorcs is a teamwide buff. The most common non-Sorc carries in this situation are probably Varus and Brand. If you can make a Yuumi this is even better because it avoids you having to run bad/underleveled units, and Sorcs passive doubling mana gain is very strong on Varus and the like.

[@kai-xuanyao4666]

@@KyussTheWalkingWorm Yeah Varus is pretty decent. Brand i feel like is worse than Asol right now after the mana nerf, and he's even more contested because of the elementalist players. I've seen people use aatrox but as a melee he isn't very reliable.

[@tuckkamui9962]

Ay, myboi makin dem SICK guides Keep up the good work lad❤

[@scribey2541]

Another amazing video, easily the best TFT guides being made rn. I constantly hear people saying they're getting shafted by not finding the 4 cost units they need, and I've definitely lost games to sinking all of my gold into a comp that I've felt locked into by the rest of my units. I definitely need to be more open to slightly janky synergies that combine different frontlines/backlines, I'll definitely be using the tips in this video in the future. Also for further videos I'd love to see a guide on how to use items early before you've locked into the comp you're running (I find it difficult to balance getting the early game power to not lose while not combining into items that aren't relevant to the comp I end up with mid-late game). Also more patch rundown videos

[@wiczus6102]

This is actually helpful. I keep overcommiting to particular comps, and then I dont get the champs I needed.

[@CaptainSabi]

Awesome guide. My greatest weakness in TFT is tunneling for a specific, perfect comp and this guide was desperately needed because I had no idea how to salvage the game after I don't get the right pieces. I would have loved to see at least a very short segment on how to think about items in regards to pivoting in case your comp ends up focusing on champs that use different items then the ones you have built for the comp you thought you were gonna go, but the guide has plenty of information to chew on in the meantime so it's not a big complaint. Keep up the awesome guides my man.

[@enksay]

Very useful information in this video. I have seen so many people tunnel on one comp and pass up a lot good synergies, then end up getting 5th to 8th place. Because in order to get the comp they want, they hard reroll and waste econ. Great video Scarra keep it up!

[@Boss-lp9ce]

Best TFT guide video yet, keep it up scarra!

[@xaviawolf]

I was thinking about how I will transition was talking about it with my friends since I have actually 0 idea how to transition. This actually helped a lot.

[@VerySpecificVideos]

Thanks for the content! Here are two topics I would love to see covered in a video: Making RNG work for you (buying out champs you don't want of a particular level unit, what levels to roll for what units, do buy units to fit your items or adapt your items to fit your comp, etc...) Playing off of your opponents (how many is too many of the same comp in a game, how early to roll into a comp to beat out other people building the same thing, common responses to common threats, etc...)

[@tehbunnyboy911]

These videos are super helpful. I hope you continue to make more as the game evolves.

[@Salimbaden]

8:45 holy that varus: double shiv + gunblade heal is insane!

[@harryfsk]

this video is so great! answers so many problems i have with transitioning, thank you :)

[@kanor13]

Thanks for the great guide Scarry!! I would really love to see a guide on how to balance weighing your board against other players boards! Like how much should we be looking at other players boards during the early/mid/late game? What comps get countered by other comps and how to avoid being countered if possible? Or when is it reasonable to start trying to counter opponents board placement by moving around your own units? Thanks boi boi!

[@thisiskitta]

8:06 is literally what made me win my first match before I’ve seen this video. I was so focused on 6 yordles and searching really hard for them but then I got a brand and I pivoted to allow him in my yordles comp and relaxing off the perfect comp made me win.

[@Novice9241]

Thank you for these guides. I feel like I’ve learned a lot. In my latest game I started with Ahri, wanting to build into a sorcerer. Then I started getting wilds, so I decided to build around them instead. Then, I settled for shapeshifters when I started gaining a lot of those. It got to the point. I had a three star Shyvana with a two star Aurelion as a support. To top it all off, I even got Swain so I could gain the complete shapeshifter comp. But I never did complete it, because I won too soon😊. Bottomline: I couldn’t have done this without your guidance, so thank you.

[@adrianreyes8163]

06:32 Here I thought there was unlimited copies of each champ, kept rerolling and draining my gold for a fruitless endeavor. Awesome job scarra looking forward to more TFT content!

[@Cypherior88]

John Quach I was so close to getting a 3 star Volibear that I just needed 1 more unit to get 1st place. No wonder when I rerolled many times, it never came out, cause that prick (came down to last 2) took my voli. D:

A little late to the party but just wanted to say that I loved this video and your other helpful tft guides. Your analysis and advice have helped me reach plat, and will continue to help me as I strive for diamond! Keep up the good work and all the inspiration you give us! Thanks Scarra!

[@KingQalibre]

Great guide as always, very nice to know for certain that every player shares the champ pool. A guide on unexplained or not so obvious mechanics would be nice.

[@LostTacosReal]

Definitely one of your best guides. Keep up the effort scarra I’m lovin the content

[@wadud92]

This is a really good guide. I tend Todo this for Draven and Gnar simply because i value those two unites more than anything else in the game. But I've never considered doing it with other 4 cost units and I am 100% guilty of locking down the perfect comp in my head and rolling for that instead of adapting to what the game is offering me

[@peterhemmingsen2306]

This is actually so well put together +rep on this guide. Keep up the good work!

[@eudurmodepijama]

Hey dude, im liking ur videos! I think is worth to mention the importance of the itemization on the trasition... The type of carry u choose mau fit on the itens you have alredy got. Thats a main point when u get ahead early até match and had no chance to build AD itens for exemple

[@cordragon9159]

Another solid guide from Scarra! Thanks man. I lost my first 3 games in the new patch cause I was having a hard time transitioning into a comp with synergy after the early game. I hope I can win games again.

[@MikeysBasement]

Such a good guide video, so much important info in here

[@BozzHogge]

Hey Scarra, I loved the video but I have a question. When would you suggest that I give up and deem that you are not finding what you are looking for? I guess a better way to say this is how many rerolls is too many?

[@soullesskreep4669]

I needed this guide, i have been struggling to enjoy this game but i will hopefully enjoy it more when i apply this knowledge. You rule Scarra.

[@wings702]

These guides have been good from the start but the improvement is obvious too. tyty for this vid

[@jfmalgrtlss]

Thanks scarra all of your guides helps a lot for me especially now is a ranked season of tft😊

[@Theosis10]

Definitely a good video and probably something I just needed to hear. I’m sadly one of the players that tend tunnel onto an idea rather then play the what’s given.

[@peteeckhoff7794]

Video Topic: Assuming no synergies: - at what point is a $1 2** star unit outclassed... is it by a $3 or $4 1* unit ??? -same idea but for a $2 2** unit -is $3 2** unit better than a $5 1* ??

[@Alexander-vg5qf]

It heavily depends on synergies and the champs you are picking as well as the items, for example, fiora as a 1$ unit is... bad, but if you use it for a synergy (even if it is a minor one, such as noble 3 or blademasters, then it can be worth keeping conoared to a higher stat more costly unit. But ignoring suynergies... depends on the champ, nidalee is a good unit by itself at 1 cost when 2-star or 3-star, and may do more stat-wise than... idk, leona for example, but there are also pieces such as brand, draven or ashe that could be better than the low cost units

[@aliasbrush2]

I think that's far too complicated to break down due to all the factors that affect it. For example, a 2* unit is almost always better than any 1* unit in a very small comp (3-5 champs) because they are tougher, hit harder, etc. However, later on when there are many more champs on the field, a 1* unit that can CC a lot of units suddenly becomes a lot more powerful because of its utility. Now when Cho'Gath ults, he could easily knock up and disrupt 5 units instead of 2-3, whereas that 2* Vayne can still only hit one champ at a time (and cause no disruption). Then you need to think about what else they are adding. How do they fit with the other champs? If you have a tough front line, that 1* Jinx (+items) has a much higher chance of surviving long enough to turn into a hyper-carry, yet she can still get one-shotted by a 2* assassin or squished by an AoE that wasn't even targeting her. Champions like Yasuo or any ninja also get special perks that make them more effective than an ordinary unit, and so are worth a lot more in any comp. (I personally think a 1* Yasuo is about as powerful as an average 2* tier three champ, due to his bonus health, AS, and AoE utility). Some late game champs don't need the extra damage from being 2* because of the utility they provide. Kayle still has a super-fast attack speed at 1*, so as long as she's in the back line she can still spam her ult and use on-hit procs better than lower tier champs. And finally, you need to consider what champs are in the meta, and who's recently been buffed/nerfed. At the time of writing, Evelyn is so powerful (even at 1*) she's almost broken. She's arguably stronger than many tier-4 champs.

Clearly made this video before 4 costs were nerfed and 3 costs were buffed, which changed the 4/5 cost requirement and the meta, as this was made before TF release, but the video was uploaded after TF release. Keep that in mind.

[@TheOriginalMomos]

The guide still applies though. Doesn't really matter if 4 costs were nerfed. In many comps, you can't actually complete it without said 4 cost unit so... ?

Good guide. Pretty much the standard problem in like every tft match. Making a plan, following a kind of roadmap, when rng comes and kicks your ass. Always feel like an idiot when running into well build early comps, with my weird mixed comp that the game served me, not knowing what to do with it or how to transition it into something powerful xD Hope with my new gained knowledge I can finally get at least one comp that secures me third place.

Hey Scarra, could you speak to how early item options will affect pivot opportunities? Eg. Getting a lot of bows early seems like it would preclude the ability to go brawlers, or a lack of NLR would mean sorc comps arent viable to pivot to.
