TFT: when to rolldown

Rolling at the wrong time is the most common way to ruin a TFT game. You either spend too early and miss economy breakpoints, or wait too long and die with gold in the bank.

Stage 2: preserve health

Do not reroll before stage 3 unless you are playing a one-cost reroll comp or your board is so weak you are losing 15 health per round. In the early game, board strength matters more than interest.

Stage 3-4: stabilize

This is the most common rolldown window. Hit level 6 or 7, then roll until your core units are two-starred or your trait breakpoints are active. Stop once your board can win rounds, even if you do not hit everything.

Stage 5+: push for legendaries

If your board is stable and you have 40 gold, level to 8 or 9 and roll for five-cost legendaries. If you are below 20 health, roll at your current level and accept that you may not reach nine. inflect.gg flags hoarded gold and weak boards so you can see when a rolldown was needed.
