Here are the five champions in TFT that should be the centerpiece of your comp this patch.
If you’re ever at a loss in a game of TFT, trying to figure out which champions are best for your comp or just best in general, we have the answers. Here is a list of the five champions in Patch 10.4 that should be one of your primary carries, which items are optimal on them, and which team comps they fit into.
1. Yasuo
Last patch, we were hyping up the Assinuo comps with Yasuo plus Assassins. This patch, though, you can put him straight into a Blademaster comp and let him do work for you!
Build Yasuo when: You get multiple BF Swords early.
Key items: Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel
Other items that work on Yasuo: Hand of Justice, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, QSS
Comps for Yasuo:
- Assassinuo: Yasuo (with Youmuu’s Ghostblade), Qiyana, Kha’Zix, Leona, Karma, Taric/Malphite, Janna
- You can swap Janna for Nami, but it is not advised as Janna gives the Cloud synergy.
- Blademaster/Desert: Yasuo, Renekton, Kha’Zix, Azir, Sivir, Master Yi, Janna
- If you get a Blade of the Ruined King, put it on Yasuo and add Nocturne + Rek’Sai for a new variation of the Blender comp.
- You can also just go 2 Desert (Azir and Sivir) and go 4 Mystic instead (add Soraka and Karma instead of Renekton/Kha’Zix).
Second Carries to Pair with Yasuo: Kha’Zix (Assassinuo), Azir (Desert)

2. Dr. Mundo
Not only are the hyper-roll Predators and Poison combo great, but Mundo can be one of the focal points in your Berserker’s comps. This makes him a flexible, and important unit.
Build Mundo when: You have a lot of tanky items early or you think you can hyper-roll Predators.
Key Items: Locket of the Iron Solari, Zeke’s Herald
Other items: Warmogs, Dragon’s Claw, Bramble Vest, Frozen Heart
Comps for Dr. Mundo:
- Hyperroll Predator/Poison: Dr. Mundo, Kog’Maw, Skarner, Rek’Sai, Singed/Twitch, Nocturne, Taric
- Only build this if you have at least five Kog’Maws by 2-5
- Poison/Rangers: Dr. Mundo, Twitch, Ashe, Kindred/Varus/Ezreal, Singed, Taric/Amumu/Braum
- You’ll want two of Kindred, Varus, and Ezreal, and which Warden you use to round out your comp will be dependent on which Ranger you take. However, Taric is usually still the best.
- 6 Berserkers: Dr. Mundo, Olaf, Volibear, Sion, Renekton, Jax
- From here, can add Twitch and Singed for Poison OR Braum and Ezreal for 4 Glacial OR Karma and Janna for Mystic.
Second Carries to Pair with Dr. Mundo: Twitch (Ranger comps), Kog’Maw (only in Predator comps), Olaf (Berserker comps)
3. Master Yi
He’s great in Blademaster comps, but he’s also a very strong carry if you want to run 6 Shadow. Yes, it was nerfed recently, but it can still be situationally strong.
Build Master Yi when: You have attack speed and/or AD items but don’t have a good late game carry (e.g. you can’t get a 3-star Yasuo and can afford to drop the items off him).
Key Items: Rapidfire Cannon
Other items: Hand of Justice, Guardian Angel, Blood Thirster, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, Guinsoo’s Rageblade.
Comps for Master Yi:
- 6 Shadow: Master Yi, Kindred, Senna, Malzahar, Sion, Veigar
- Add Yasuo and Janna if you were going for a Blademaster comp that didn’t quite come together
- Add Varus and Amumu if you want to go Inferno as well and/or have decent items on Kindred.
- Blademaster/Mystic: Master Yi, Yasuo, Aatrox, Sivir, Leona, Karma, Janna, Soraka
- You can also swap Leona for Azir if you really need the armor reduction from Desert.
Second Carries to Pair with Master Yi: Kindred (Shadow comps), Yasuo (Blademaster comps), Sion (Shadow comps).
4. Yorick
Both Light and Summoner comps can function very well and Yorick is generally a really good unit to serve as your frontline tank.
Build Yorick when: You have a bunch of defensive items.
Key items: Guardian Angel, Warmog’s Armor, Dragon’s Claw
Other items that work on Amumu: Redemption, Morellonomicon, Titan’s Resolve, QSS, Rabadon’s Deathcap
Comps for Yorick:
- 6 Light: Yorick, Nasus, Jax, Aatrox, Soraka, Lucian, Karma, Leona
- You can swap out Leona for Senna if you want to go the Soulbound comp with Lucian as your carry.
- Assassin/Summoners: Yorick, Azir, Zed, Kha’zix, Qiyana
- Add Leona, Karma, and Soraka for Mystic and Lunar synergies. If you can get a Talisman of Light to put on Zed or Annie, do it. Otherwise, drop Leona late game for another Light.
- Desert/Summoners: Yorick, Azir, Kha’Zix, Sivir, Renekton, Annie/Zed
- If you get Zed, add a Qiyana or Blade of the Ruined King for Assassins as well.
Second Carries to Pair with Amumu: Azir (Summoner comps) or Lucian (Light comps)
5. Ashe
Crystal is still okay and Rangers are doing well in Patch 10.4, so there’s no reason why you can’t keep building comps around here.
Build Ashe when: You have ALL THE RECURVE BOWS early.
Key items: Statik Shiv, Bloodthirster
Other items that work on Ashe: Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Runaan’s Hurricane, Deathblade, Hand of Justice, Infinity Edge, Guardian Angel
Comps for Ashe:
- Full Ranger/Crystal: Ashe, Taric, Twitch, Kindred, Vayne, Ezreal, Varus, Amumu/Malphite
- Crystal/Predator/Poison: Ashe, Skarner, Rek’Sai, Kog’Maw, Twitch, Dr. Mundo/Singed
- From here, you can add any two Rangers or Mystics to round out the comp
Second Carries to Pair with Ashe: Twitch (always), Taric (always)
