TFT economy basics

TFT rewards players who know when to spend and when to bank. Health and gold are the two currencies you trade throughout a match.

Early game: preserve health

In the first three rounds, take the strongest board you can without rerolling. Losing streak gold is nice, but bleeding too much health early leaves no room for a late rolldown.

Mid game: identify your win condition

By stage 4 you should know whether you are going fast 8, rolling at 7, or committed to a 3-cost carry. The decision comes from your items, your traits, and how strong the lobby looks.

Late game: tempo over greed

Once players start dying, every round matters. If you are above 30 health and have a stable board, econ to 9. If you are below 20, roll for a two-star legend and stop caring about interest.
