Best Teamfight Tactics (TFT) 9.20 team compositions and synergy combos

Best Teamfight Tactics (TFT) 9.20 team compositions and synergy combos

The best team compositions and synergy combos in Teamfight Tactics (TFT). Learn the best units and builds to rank up in patch 9.20.

I have published 64 TFT team builds so far, but over time I will produce more depending on the meta and the patch changes.

Today, we will talk about the new team comps that arise with patch 9.20. I will add more in the next days as soon as new strong builds will emerge.

In each build, the champions are sorted by gold cost, and the number prior each name is the gold cost of that particular unit.

Reminder again that since we’re in the final stretch of Set 1, changes will be pretty limited. Just trying to make some improvements to the current state of things.

Knight Gunslinger Phantom

Final team: Garen, Mordekaiser, Lucian, Poppy, Sejuani, Jinx, Kindred, Kayle.

  • Knight: 5+1

  • Nobles: 3

  • Gunslinger: 2

  • Phantom: 2

Knights are particularly strong in patch 9.20, so we will utilize them to protect our hard carry Jinx.

  • Start with Garen and Mordekaiser for the two Knight synergy.

  • Add Tristana and Lucian to achieve two Gunslinger in the early game.

  • Poppy and Sejuani are required for four Knight.

  • Replace Tristana with Jinx as soon as you find her - she will act as your main carry. I suggest building Giant Slayer and Guinsoo’s Rageblade on her.

  • Finally, Kindred brings two Phantom, and Kayle provides three Noble.

  • Knight’s Vow (Spatula + Chain Vest) on Kindred will also unlock the powerful six Knight synergy.

Brawler Void Assassin 

Final team: Warwick, Kha'Zix, Rek'Sai, Rengar, Volibear, Ashe, Cho'Gath, Kai'Sa.

  • Brawler: 4

  • Void: 4

  • Assassin: 3

  • Wild: 2

  • Glacial: 2

  • Ranger: 2

A new Brawler Void build that makes use of the recently released Kai'Sa.

  • Start with Warwick and Nidalee for the two Wild synergy.

  • Add Kha'Zix and Rek'Sai for two Void and two Brawler.

  • Remove Nidalee. With Zed and Rengar you will enjoy the one Ninja and three Assassin bonuses.

  • Volibear and Cho'Gath complete the core of the build providing four Brawler.

  • In the late game, add Ashe for the two Glacial synergy, and finally replace Zed with Kai'Sa to achieve two Ranger and four Void.

Your carries are Rengar, Cho'Gath, and Kai'Sa. Zed will act as a core champion in the early game, but later on his items will go to Kai'Sa. If you can’t find her, Akali is a viable substitute. 

Yordle Elementalist

Final team: Lulu, Lissandra, Poppy, Veigar, Kennen, Morgana, Brand, Gnar.

  • Yordle: 5+1

  • Elementalist: 3

  • Sorcerer: 3

  • Demon: 2

  • Ninja: 1

Yordles are not very contested in this meta, so you can often upgrade them to high tiers.

  • Start with Tristana, Lulu, and Poppy for three Yordle. While finding them, I suggest using two Knights in the early game, like Garen, Darius, or Mordekaiser.

  • Lissandra and Brand bring the three Elementalist bonus, which grants the Golem. Build Morellonomicon and Mittens (Spatula + Sparring Gloves) on Lissandra, so she will gain the Yordle trait.

  • Prioritize the Yordle synergy with Kennen, Veigar, and Gnar. The latter will replace Tristana.

  • In the late game, you can add Morgana for the two Demon and three Sorcerer synergies.

Varus the Sorcerer

Final team: Mordekaiser, Varus, Morgana, Sejuani, Kindred, Aurelion Sol, Leona, Pantheon.

  • Sorcerer: 2+1

  • Ranger: 2

  • Dragon: 2

  • Guardian: 2

  • Knight: 2

  • Demon: 2

This is a very versatile build able to face almost any opponent in the game.

  • Start with Garen and Mordekaiser for the two Knight synergy.

  • Add Varus and Vayne to achieve two Ranger in the early game. The former is your main carry.

  • Poppy and Sejuani are required for four Knight.

After the mid game, you can transition into the true team composition, which requires several 4-cost units.

  • Replace Vayne with Kindred to unlock the Phantom synergy.

  • Add Morgana and Aurelion Sol for the two Demon synergy and to increase the number of Sorcerers to two. Build Yuumi (Spatula + Needlessly Large Rod) on Varus for the Sorcerer bonus.

  • Remove Garen and Poppy, and replace them with Leona and Pantheon for the Guardian and Dragon traits.
