Teamfight Tactics Classes 9.18 Cheat Sheet – All TFT Class Buffs

A crucial part of finding victory in Teamfight Tactics is putting together a team composition that matters. This Teamfight Tactics classes cheat sheet will help you figure out which buffs you can put together.

Note: This guide has been updated for TFT Patch 9.18 on September 20, 2019.

Editor’s Note: Teamfight Tactics breaks down character abilities by both “class” and “origins.” These appear functionally identical, at the moment, and we had split them out into two separate guides, both of which will remain up. However, we’ve gone ahead and added the origins at the end of this guide as well per the community’s request.

Teamfight Tactics Classes Cheat Sheet

Each Teamfight Tactics champion has a class that it’s designated to. That’s on top of its origin. Finding the best combinations of these given the champions the game lets you buy is an integral part of winning games. But what buffs do the classes actually provide? We have a cheat sheet below that lists all of the buffs you could possibly want.

Wondering how the classes themselves rank? We have a guide that ranks each class by tier and each of the champions inside of them!

Assassins

The current Assassins are Akali, Evelynn, Katarina, Kha’Zix, Pyke, Rengar, and Zed. Each will jump to the enemy farthest away from them at the start of combat.

Buff:

3 Assassins – 75% Crit Damage & 10% Crit Chance for your Assassins.
6 Assassins – 150% Crit Damage & 25% Crit Chance for your Assassins.

3 Shapeshifters – On transform, gain 60% max HP.
6 Shapeshifters – On transform, gain 120% max HP.

Teamfight Tactics Origins Cheat Sheet

Origins are essentially just where the champion originally came from. Putting multiple champions with the same origin on the battlefield at the same time provides various buffs. These buffs change depending on the origin and some can even be strengthened by adding more members of that origin.

Demons

Demon basic attacks have a 40% chance to burn 20 mana from their target and return 15/30/45 mana to the attacker.

4 Hextechs – Throw a bomb at an enemy unit with an item, and disables all items in a 2 hex radius for 7 seconds.

Robots

Blitzcrank is the lone Robot, though his buff doesn’t require more than one Robot.

Buff:

1 Robot – Robots start combat with full mana.

Imperials

Imperials like Darius, Draven, Katarina, and Swain like to kill people. Their buff actively reflects that fact.

Buff:

2 Imperials – Double damage for one Imperial.
4 Imperials – Double damage for all Imperials.

Nobles

Nobles like Fiora, Garen, Kayle, Leona, Lucian, and Vayne are focused on keeping champions alive.

6 Nobles – +50 Armor and Magic Resist and heal for 25 HP on hit for the entire team.

Ninjas

Akali, Kennen, Shen, and Zed, aka the Ninjas, are all about dealing damage. It’s worth noting that since Ninjas are all about precision, you need to have exactly one or exactly four Ninjas to get these buffs. Having five Ninjas will provide you with no buff!

Buff:

Exactly 1 Ninja – +50 attack damage and +50 ability power for your Ninjas.
Exactly 4 Ninjas – +70 attack damage and +70 ability power for your Ninjas.

Phantoms

Only Karthus, Kindred, and Mordekaiser count as Phantoms in Teamfight Tactics.

Buff:

2 Phantoms – Curse a random enemy at the start of combat, setting their HP to 100.

Pirates

Players of League of Legends could probably have guessed that the Pirates will help you gain additional gold. Grab Gangplank, Graves, Miss Fortune, or Pyke for this buff.

Buff:

3 Pirates – You earn up to 4 additional gold from each PVP round. Average gold per chest is 1.75 gold.

Void

Void champions are easily recognized by their purple skin? Armor? Suits? Whatever, just get three of Cho’gath, Kassadin, Kha’Zix, or Rek’Sai.

Buff:

3 Voids – Void units now deal True Damage.

Wild

Animals and animal-human hybrids like Ahri, Gnar, Nidalee, Rengar, and Warwick fall into the Wilds Origin.

4 Wilds – All your allies gain 12% AS per attack (up to 5 stacks) AND their basic attacks can’t miss.

Yordle

Yordles are small and cute so no one really wants to attack them. Either that or their diminutive size makes them hard to hit? Gnar, Kennen, Lulu, Poppy, Tristana, and Veigar are the Yordles in Teamfight Tactics.

Buff:

3 Yordles – Attacks against your Yordles have a 35% chance to miss. Also dodges On-hit effects.
