Rolling for Teamfight Tactics champions is a core gameplay system that helps you get the desired units from the TFT champion pool. That’s precisely why you need a detailed understanding of the rolling mechanic.
Some of the basics are relatively simple. For instance, spending your resources on developing units and taking control of the board is often the best course of action. But deciding when to level and when to roll isn’t as straightforward. Without the numbers, it’s pure guesswork.
Leveling system changes for TFT Set 11 Inkborn Fables
Following Set 10, which adjusted leveling XP and shop odds for the Headline mechanic, multiple changes were applied for the release of TFT Set 11, per the Mortdog PBE Rundown. The maximum level of 10 was carried over, though. The XP required to level changed at levels eight and nine, while shop odds were adjusted at levels seven and eight.
- Level two to three: XP is two
- Level three to four: XP is six
- Level four to five: XP is 10
- Level five to six: XP is 20
- Level six to seven: XP is 36
- Level seven to eight: XP is 48
- Level eight to nine: XP dropped from 80 to 72
- Level nine to 10: XP is 84
With the decrease in XP needed to hit a level in TFT, the percentage of champions showing up in the shop for Set 11 was also adjusted.
Players typically roll at Stages 3-2, 4-1, and 5-1, with variety built into that standard based on win/loss streaks, economy, and power levels of a Teamfight Tactics lobby.
How many of each champion are in the TFT Set 11 pool?
With every set release, Riot Games releases a chart detailing everything we need to know about the current TFT champion pool set, including drop rates by tier and level. There are a total of 60 champions in TFT Set 10.
- Tier one (13 champions): 22 of each champion in the pool
- Tier two (13 champions): 20 of each champion in the pool
- Tier three (12 champions): 17 of each champion in the pool
- Tier four (12 champions): 10 of each champion in the pool
- Tier five (nine champions): Nine of each champion in the pool
The number of TFT champions within a pool is important when rerolling. Players attempting to reroll a four-cost unit, for example, must grab nine out of the 13 in the pool to successfully craft a three-star tier-four champion. The four-cost back size was decreased to 10 units for TFT Set 10.
Stage damage per enemy unit left alive is 0/2/5/7/9/11/17/150. Surviving enemy damage plus one for every enemy champion that survived combat that round.
If a player dies, the champions on their board and bench will return to the pool.
What are TFT rolling odds based on the number of champions in Set 11?
The rolling odds of a champion showing up in the TFT shop are based on the number of champions within a set. The chart below helps players determine when to level up and when to roll down for a stronger board. Set 11 boosted level seven to make it easier to reroll for a three-cost unit and level eight was also adjusted to make getting two-star four-cost champions more of a possibility, according to Mortdog.
| One-cost | Two-cost | Three-cost | Four-cost | Five-cost | |
| Pool size | 22 | 20 | 17 | 10 | NIne |
| Level one | 100 percent | – | – | – | – |
| Level two | 100 percent | – | – | – | – |
| Level three | 75 percent | 25 percent | – | – | – |
| Level four | 55 percent | 30 percent | 15 percent | – | – |

| Level 11 (When applied) | One percent | Two percent | 12 percent | 50 percent | 35 percent |
Loot Orbs will always pull from the Champion Pool and the odds of seeing a Spatula on the Carousel were reduced for TFT Set 11.
When to level up in TFT Set 11
In conjunction with the TFT rolling chance chart, each set has a meta that determines the most opportune times to level up and roll down for key units that can make up your endgame comp.
Here is a standard level-up guide for TFT Set 11. Updates will take place for Inkborn Fables if there are any major meta changes.
- Level four: Stage 2-1
- Level five: Stage 2-5 or Stage 2-3 if seeking three-cost champions after the carousel
- Level six: Stage 3-2
- Level seven: Stage 3-5 or 4-1
- Level eight: Stage 4-2, 4-5, or 5-1
- Level nine: Stage 5-1, 5-5, or 6-1
- Level 10: Stage 6-1
What level should you reroll for TFT Set 11 champions?
Rerolling is a core gameplay strategy within the Inkborn Fables meta. Here is a breakdown of when to roll for a one, two, or three-cost Set 11 champion.
| Champion’s cost | Level to reroll |
|---|---|
| One-cost | Level 5 (slow-roll after hitting 50 gold) |

| Three-cost | Level 7 (slow-roll after hitting 50 gold) |
What changed in TFT Set 11?
The champion pool was reduced in size in Set 10 but returned to standard numbers for TFT Set 11. The loot distribution system was adjusted through Patch 14.5, the final update for Set 10, and a Spatula is less likely to show up on a Carousel during Inkborn Fables.
As for the TFT rolling odds, levels seven and eight were adjusted to encourage reroll strategies for three-cost champions while assisting players in crafting two-star four-cost units at level eight. Patch 14.8 adjusted the rolling odds for level seven, slightly reducing the percentage of seeing a four-cost in the TFT shop.
