Rolling for Teamfight Tactics champions is a core gameplay system that ensures players can potentially hit the units they want from the shop at certain levels.
Spending your resources on developing units and taking control of the board is sometimes 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. Players typically roll at Stages 3-2, 4-1, and 5-1, with a wide amount of variety built into that standard based on win/loss streaks, economy, and power levels of a TFT lobby.
How many of each champion are in the TFT Set 9.5 pool?
With every set release, Riot Games puts out a chart detailing everything we need to know about champion drop rates by tier and level. There are a total of 60 champions in TFT Set Nine.
- Tier one (13 champions): 29 of each champion in the pool
- Tier two (13 champions): 22 of each champion in the pool
- Tier three (13 champions): 18 of each champion in the pool
- Tier four (12 champions): 12 of each champion in the pool
- Tier five (eight champions): 10 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 12 that are in the pool to successfully craft a three-star tier-four champion.
Only one person can three-star a Tier four or a Tier five unit.
What are TFT rolling odds based on the number of champions?
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 Nine increased the XP needed to hit levels six to nine, but it didn’t change the actual rolling odds once on that level.
| One-cost | Two-cost | Three-cost | Four-cost | Five-cost | |
| Pool Size | 13 | 13 | 13 | 12 | 8 |
| Level 1 | 100 percent | – | – | – | – |
| Level 2 | 100 percent | – | – | – | – |
| Level 3 | 75 percent | 25 percent | – | – | – |
| Level 4 | 55 percent | 30 percent | 15 percent | – | – |
| Level 5 | 45 percent | 33 percent | 20 percent | Two percent | – |

Loot Orbs will always pull from the Champion Pool.
When to level up in TFT Set 9.5
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 a player’s end-game comp.
