While playing standard high-cost compositions is a reliable climbing path, "rerolling"—remaining at lower levels to upgrade 1-cost, 2-cost, or 3-cost champions into 3-star powerhouses—is one of the most popular playstyles in Teamfight Tactics. In TFT Set 17, 3-star low-cost champions receive significant base stat multipliers that allow them to match or outscale 2-star 4-cost units. However, to execute a reroll build successfully, you must align your rolling strategy with the champion's pool size and shop probability. Here is our master guide to reroll compositions.
Understanding Shop Probabilities (Odds)
Every level offers different percentage odds for different champion costs appearing in your shop. Rerolling requires you to stay at the level that maximizes your target's probability:
- 1-Cost Reroll: Stay at Level 4 (55% odds) or Level 5 (45% odds).
- 2-Cost Reroll: Stay at Level 6 (40% odds).
- 3-Cost Reroll: Stay at Level 7 (40% odds) or Level 8 (35% odds).
The Three Reroll Strategies
Depending on your carry's unit cost, choose one of these rolling methods:
1. Hyper Rolling (For 1-Cost Carries)
The goal is to hit your 3-star upgrades as fast as possible before leveling up dilute your shop odds.
Execution: Do not buy XP. Save all gold through Stage 2. At Stage 3-1 (while still at Level 4), roll your gold down to 10 or 0 to find as many copies of your carry as possible. Once you hit the 3-star carry, level up immediately to catch up with the lobby.
2. Slow Rolling (For 2-Cost and 3-Cost Carries)
This is the most common reroll method. Slow rolling allows you to hunt for 3-stars while maintaining a healthy long-term economy.
Execution: Save gold and level up naturally to Level 6 (for 2-costs) or Level 7 (for 3-costs). Once you reach the target level, only roll your gold above 50 every round. This keeps your interest income at +5 gold per round. You roll until you accumulate 9 copies of your core units, then push levels to complete your synergies.
Pro Tip: Scout the lobby. Since all players pull champions from a shared pool, if another player is contesting the same reroll carry, your odds of hitting 3-stars drop drastically. If contested, pivot to leveling up, or roll down early to lock in your upgrades before your opponent does.
3. Level 7 Reroll (For 3-Cost Carries)
3-cost champions (like Ezreal or Veigar) require a massive gold commitment. Since Level 7 offers a 40% probability for 3-costs, you should slow roll here.
Execution: Level up standardly to Level 7 on Stage 4-1. Roll down slightly to stabilize with 2-star versions of your board, then slow roll above 50 gold. If you have low HP (below 30), do not slow roll; execute a "hard roll down" to 0 gold to hit your upgrades and survive.
Essential Reroll Tips for Set 17
- Augment Synergies: Look for reroll-boosting augments like "Trade Sector" (grants a free refresh every round) or "Prismatic Ticket" (percentage chance to get free refreshes). These augments make hitting 3-stars far cheaper.
- Item Priority: Because you spend your gold on rolling instead of leveling, you must prioritize strong combat items to save HP. Slam items early instead of waiting for perfect components.
Conclusion
Reroll compositions offer immense late-game power, but require strict economic discipline and lobby scouting. Choose the correct rolling method, stay at the optimal level, watch your opponents' boards, and scale your 3-star carries to a ranked victory.
