Adrian Basil’s pro tips for TeamFight Tactics items

If you are in doubt, Adrian has some go-to items for you.

“Some of the items which are good irrespective of what comp (team composition) you have are Hand Of Justice, Sunfire Cape, Thief’s Gloves (formed by combining two Sparring Gloves), Ionic Spark and Guardian Angel. These items are not best in slot but it is good to have them, nevertheless,” says Adrian.

He elaborates further on each item.

“Hand Of Justice is good for any offensive line unit. It can work in a defense unit as well.”
“Sunfire Cape is best used with a defensive unit. It helps with healing, and hence, is good to have early game. It provides a defensive start for the frontline.”
“Thieves Gloves are good throughout and I'd suggest players to put it on their strongest unit. As an item, it has a lot of value.”
“Ionic Spark is a great item to have in the early game on your frontline. It provides 50% magic resistance reduction to enemies.”
“Guardian Angel is a great item that can be used flexibly in the frontline or backline.”

And a few more item tips from Adrian.

“Items are usually situation-based and depend on the comp you are running. For instance, if you are running a Magic Comp then you will need a Jeweled Gauntlet for critical damage. If you are running a Damage Comp then items like Death Blade, Infinity Edge and Giant Slayer will be useful. If you are running a Frontline Comp (defensive composition), then items such as Gargoyle Stoneplate, Dragon’s Claw and Bramble Vest are good to have,” he says.

“However, when it comes to itemization I would say it is also important to scout your opponent to see if they are doing magic damage or physical damage, and then you accordingly create a resistance with your items. For instance, if you are playing against Knights and they have a lot of armour and you have damage output that is physical, then it is good to have a Last Whisperer as it reduces the target’s armour by 75%. You can counter armour with magic damage,” Adrian concludes.
