Many players often try to build their late-game composition right from the start of the match. There are also those who choose to play strong early game compositions, aiming for winning streaks and maintaining them as long as possible to build a late-game team.
Here are some powerful early game compositions that will help you achieve a perfect winning streak:
Frost + Lightning
The reason is that the 2 initial Guardians provide a lot of armor, and since most damage at this stage is still weak, that armor is very effective. The initial champions also have low health, so just 80 damage from Lightning can make a significant difference, and finally, Frost with its stun ability and increased damage on basic attacks is extremely powerful.
Next, you can add Ezreal and Warwick to activate more Frost traits; if you have core items for Ezreal like Shurelya’s Battlesong or Archangel’s Staff, it’s also very good. After that, you just need to choose the composition you want to play in the later stages of the match, as the above composition is very cheap, so selling it won’t cost you much. The important thing is to maintain the winning streak and health.
Guardian + Water + Mage
In the front line, Thresh is a great protector for the remaining champions with his lantern. Additionally, with 4 Water units, the energy for the Mages behind to deal damage is abundant, and Thresh can continuously buff armor for teammates.
Moreover, this composition also makes it easy for you to build into a 6 Mage 4 Water in the later stages of the match, so it’s quite easy to play. Alternatively, you can pivot to different compositions since these 1-2 cost champions are very cheap.
Fire + Shadow + Marksman
You can start with a 3 Fire composition like Kindred, Varus, and Diana or Zyra. After that, you should add Sion for tankiness along with Malzahar to activate Shadow.
The main damage of this composition will come from Kindred (who activates all the traits). Ideal early items for Kindred are Shurelya’s Battlesong or Archangel’s Staff. If equipped, Kindred can take down an enemy champion immediately and maintain the Shadow trait continuously.
This is one of the most versatile compositions in Teamfight Tactics in the early game. It can pivot into many different compositions like 6 Shadow, 6 Fire, 4 Marksman, or Summoners…
Earth + Guardian + Water
The key factor of this composition is to have Qiyana Earth to activate Earth and grant 1500 armor to a random champion – that champion is nearly unkillable in this early game phase.
In the front line, Nautilus and Braum will act as the main tanks, Thresh to activate Water and provide armor for this Guardian trio. Taliyah activates Earth and knocks up the back line of the enemy. Qiyana will be the main damage dealer, so you should give her energy regeneration items like Spear of Shojin or Archangel’s Staff.
Forest + Moon Clan
Starting with Forest + Nature as usual, you will have up to 4 champions on the board to overpower quality with quantity. Meanwhile, Leona will be the tank alongside Maokai in the front line, and Ivern and Karma will provide continuous armor from the back.
With many champions on the board and the ability to heal and create shields, this composition will last a long time for the Moon Clan trait to take effect. Additionally, Neeko will also be the main magic damage dealer, and she should have Morellonomicon.
Beast + Steel
This composition is quite simple and doesn’t require much explanation. First, it utilizes the tankiness of Steel in the front line, while the remaining Beast champions try to take down enemies as quickly as possible with their traits. Kog’Maw should have typical energy-boosting items like Luden’s Echo or Statikk Shiv.
