About Teamfight Tactics Teamfight Tactics (or “TFT”) is an eight person free-for-all strategy game where players combine League of Legends (LoL) champions and items in different formations to defeat the seven other players in a match. As the leading game in the auto battler genre, players tactically place an army of characters on a grid-shaped game board for a last-player-standing automated battle. Since launching in 2019, TFT has emerged as the top contender in the genre by providing a fun and deep chess-like gameplay experience for all types of players on multiple platforms.
