With some excitement and nervousness, I'd like to present tftraits.com to you all. It's a browser-based tool for TFT that I launched last night. It's free to use, with no ads to clutter your experience.

I started this hobby project almost 4 years ago as a tool for myself, to calculate the maximum number of traits at any level and optimise augments like "Bronze for Life" and "Stand United". A few friends wanted to use it too, so I spent this summer holiday building a proper website around it and making it public. Today it also works great for TFT Set 17 quests like ASOL.

I think this tool is something quite fresh and unique among TFT tools, and I hope you find it useful. It combines a Trait/Comp Explorer, a comp selector, and an intuitive team builder. You can move your comp between these iteratively as you level up in a game.

Tftraits.com is a good fit when:

• You don't care about forcing a meta, and instead try to play and optimise around drops from boxes, the champion shop, and augments
• You enjoy experimenting and theorycrafting builds
• You want to play augments, champions, or quests that reward trait counts
• You're learning a new set, or getting back into TFT after a break
• You want an easy way to search, compare, and plan your teams. Your personal team planner on the go.

More practical questions it can answer:

• You got the Rhaast or Bronze for Life augment and want to find the specific comp that maximises traits at any level. This tool will literally compare all possible champion combinations (over 164 billion at level 10) on demand against your search, and return the exact champion combinations.
• You have a very in-depth search in mind: "At level 10, I have 6 different emblems, I want Brawler 4 active, I want to ignore the Dark Star trait, and the comp must field Tahm Kench. What are the optimal trait synergies?"
• You want to optimise your early game. Say you get a 3-cost champion drop at the start, and you want a level 5 comp that uses only that champion plus 1- and 2-cost champions from the shop. Which comps have the best synergies?

For me this was also a learning journey, since I had to move from Node.js to C++ to get the algorithmic multicore performance I needed to calculate large data sets on demand.

I hope you find this tool useful, whether you use it as a Trait Explorer, a Team Planner, or just as a reference for anything TFT related. Don't hesitate to comment, ask questions, or leave feedback.

Hi all,

I launched tftraits.com to the public today, and I'd love for anyone curious to give it a try. As a TFT player since season 1 and programmer at work I always dreamt of building something fun as a side project for the TFT scene.

I first started coding it about 3–4 years ago, originally just to figure out for myself which champion combos activate the most traits for augments like Bronze for Life and Stand United. It quickly grew into something bigger, answering questions like: "If I pick up a Bastion emblem and a 3-cost champion at the start, what are my theoretical build options?"

This summer break gave me the chance to revisit the project and I'm finally happy enough with the result to share it with everyone.

I think it brings something new, fresh and genuinely useful to the TFT tool space. It's completely free, with no ads cluttering the experience.

A few examples of what you can do with it:

• Find the maximum traits you can activate at any given level, and exactly which champions you need to field to hit them.
• Run in-depth searches, e.g. "At level 9, I have 5 emblems, I want Shen in the comp, I want N.O.V.A 5 active, and I want to ignore Space Groove. Which comps give the most trait synergies?"
• Optimise your early game, e.g. "Given a level 5 comp with only 1- and 2-cost champions, plus a 3-cost champion at start, which comps activate the most traits?"

The flow of the tool is Search ↔ Select ↔ Build, and it works well as a companion site while you play. At any stage you can bring your build back to the search board, tweak it for the next phase, and keep iterating until the end of your game. Or, if you're a hardcore theorycrafter, you can just enjoy putting together crazy builds!

My actual algorithm runs on the server side, and for each of your searches it will compare, on demand, up to 168 billion teams comps with your search terms and return the best comps according to your selected scoring strategy. For me personally it was quite the challenge to try to optimize the performance of the algorithm so it would not take forever to run.

I hope you find it useful, and don't hesitate to comment, ask questions, or leave feedback.
