TFT 17.9: Top 5 strongest ranked climbing compositions in end-of-season meta

The TFT 17.9 meta is gradually stabilizing with a series of strong compositions centered around key carries such as Aurelion Sol, Lulu, Xayah, or Samira. Depending on the items, economy, and champions appearing in the shop, players can choose from the following five standout guides to climb ranks in the late season.

Mecha Supremacy - Aurelion Sol

This composition has an extremely high late-game power threshold, focusing on Aurelion Sol and Mecha Garen.

The frontline of Mecha provides enough time for Aurelion Sol to continuously deal magic damage from the back. However, this comp requires a large economy and good HP management to quickly reach level 8. If possible to reach level 9, players can easily add more 5-cost champions to enhance the comp's quality.

Chrono Lulu Reroll

Chrono Lulu is a suitable choice if players get many Lulu early and are not contested.

The main strategy is to save gold and slow roll to find Lulu 3-star. Upon reaching the upgrade threshold, the comp has very good HP preservation in the mid-game before continuing to level up and complete the core.

A notable point is not to force reroll at all costs if the shop is unfavorable, because losing all economy can severely set back the comp's power.

Celestial Flexible

Celestial Flexible is especially suitable for players who enjoy a "play whatever the game gives you" style.

Instead of committing to a single carry, players can use Nami, Samira, or Riven depending on the items received. The Celestial core helps preserve HP during the transition, then level up to 8 to find 4-cost carries.

If you have a good economy, the comp can further transition into an Exodia form at level 9.

Astral Xayah

Astral Xayah is one of the most stable physical damage compositions in TFT 17.9.

Xayah takes the role of primary backline carry, while Jhin can serve as a secondary damage source. The most important condition is to build a sturdy frontline and position properly so that Xayah has time to output damage.

Perfect Duo Samira

This is a special composition that uses two Samira on the same board. When the right support augment is obtained, the damage output from the Samira duo is extremely terrifying.

However, this guide heavily depends on the game conditions. Players should only commit to the comp when they have the correct core and necessary champions, rather than forcing it from the start.

In general, Aurelion Sol suits high-economy games, Lulu is for reroll, Xayah is strong with plenty of AD items, while Celestial is the optimal choice for players with good pivot skills.
