Hey everyone, I’m Jammed. welcome to my AP Twisted Fate guide! I’ve been playing TF since Season 2, and over the years I’ve stuck with him through all kinds of metas and patches.

I managed to hit Masters 400 LP on my main, and even did an Unranked to Masters climb with a 70% win rate using this exact style. Along the way, I’ve learned just how strong Twisted Fate can be when you play to his strengths and understand how to control the map.

In this guide, I’m gonna share everything I know to help you climb and improve whether it’s turning games around with smart roams or making good macro decisions. Whether you’re new to TF or just looking to clean up your gameplay, this guide’s here to help.

Loaded Dice - Passive
A simple but valuable passive that grants bonus gold per last-hit. It adds up over time and helps you reach item breakpoints faster than most mid laners. Prioritize last-hitting well, especially early game, to get the most value out of this passive. It’s especially handy during side lane pushes or when farming jungle camps late game.

Wild Cards - Q
This is your main poke, waveclear, and teamfight damage tool.
Pick a Card - W
Gold Card: Stun priority targets in ganks, teamfights, or to peel threats diving your backline.
Red Card: Use for waveclear, zone control in teamfights, or slowing multiple enemies.
Blue Card: Regain mana and deal good single-target damage, use it to hit towers too.
Stacked Deck - E
A passive burst enhancer and attack speed steroid that rewards using auto-attacks between spells.
Destiny - R
The signature global playmaking tool.

Abiltity Order
Option 1 (vs Ranged)
Option 2 (vs Melee)Back to Top

Electrocute is a great keystone choice when you’re vsing short-range or melee champions in mid. It gives you strong burst damage for quick trades, letting you punish champions who have to get up close to farm or trade. With Twisted Fate’s ability to instantly proc Electrocute with a simple Pick A Card Wild Cards auto attack combo, you can consistently chip away at their health and create lane pressure. This can quickly snowball into solo kill opportunities or force them to play defensively under tower. It’s especially effective against champions like Sylas, Akali, Katarina, and Irelia, who rely on all-ins but are vulnerable to early poke and burst trades.

Unsealed Spellbook is a flexible and underrated keystone on Twisted Fate that shines in slower-paced games or against matchups where you won’t be looking for early solo kills. It allows you to swap out summoner spells throughout the game, giving you access to Teleport, Ignite, Cleanse, Exhaust, or even Smite for stealing important barons/souls/elders. depending on what the situation calls for you pick accordingly. This adds a huge layer of utility and makes your global presence with Destiny even more threatening. You can start with Teleport for safe scaling and lane control, then swap to Ignite for kill pressure, or grab Cleanse against heavy CC comps. It’s a great option against champions like Orianna, Azir, Viktor, or other control mages where the lane will be more about farming and macro decisions than constant skirmishing.

First Strike is a strong scaling option for Twisted Fate, especially in games where you won’t be under constant threat of early all-ins. It rewards safe laning and quick trades by granting bonus gold and extra damage when you land the first hit in combat. This pairs perfectly with Twisted Fate’s combo of Pick A Card (Blue or Gold) – Wild Cards. Over time, the extra gold lets you hit crucial item spikes faster, giving you more map pressure with Destiny. It’s best taken against immobile champions like Malzahar, Heimerdinger, Anivia, or Veigar where the lane is slower-paced, letting you safely farm, poke, and scale into a powerful mid-game threat without worrying about constant kill pressure.

Bone Plating is a valuable defensive rune choice for Twisted Fate, especially when you’re facing burst-heavy melee champions or assassins that rely on short, all-in trades. After taking damage from an enemy champion, it reduces the next three abilities or attacks against you for a short duration, giving you a crucial window to survive burst combos or win trades. This is particularly effective against champions like Sylas, Akali, Katarina, or Irelia who dive in and burst quickly. Having Bone Plating up can be the difference between surviving a combo or turning the fight around with a clutch Gold Card and counter-trade.

Second Wind is a solid defensive rune option for Twisted Fate when facing poke-heavy matchups that chip away at your health during the laning phase. It provides passive health regeneration after taking damage from an enemy champion, helping you sustain through constant poke and stay in lane longer without having to burn through Health Potions or recall early. This rune shines against champions like Xerath, Lux, Hwei or Orianna who rely on ranged poke and harassment. Combined with Twisted Fate’s natural waveclear and safe farming under tower with Wild Cards and Pick A Card, Second Wind makes it easier to scale into your core item spikes without falling too far behind in HP or gold.

Cosmic Insight is one of the best utility-focused rune choices for Twisted Fate, offering extra summoner spell and item haste. This rune lets you use spells like Flash, Teleport, and Zhonya's Hourglass more frequently, which is incredibly valuable for a champion like Twisted Fate who relies on map presence, reactive plays, and burst windows.

Jack of all Trades is a flexible and underrated rune choice for Twisted Fate when you’re looking for a bit of everything in terms of early stats and mid-game scaling. It grants small bonuses to Ability Haste and Adaptive Force as you build unique stats, making it a great option for games when you want to have maximum ability power.

Celerity is an excellent secondary rune choice for Twisted Fate, especially when you’re building movement speed items like Lich Bane, Rapid Firecannon, Mejai's Soulstealer or running summoner spells like Ghost or utilizing Unsealed Spellbook swaps. The bonus movement speed it provides not only improves your map rotations with Destiny, but also makes it easier to reposition in fights and dodge key skillshots in lane. On top of that, it synergizes perfectly with Twisted Fate’s roaming playstyle by letting you reach side lanes faster for clutch ganks or dives. Every point of movement speed matters on a champion like Twisted Fate.

Absolute Focus is another strong rune to round out your secondary tree, providing bonus adaptive damage when you’re above 70% HP. This works particularly well on Twisted Fate because you often play at a safe distance in lane and during teamfights, using Pick A Card and Wild Cards to poke and trade from range. With careful positioning and wave management, you can maintain high health throughout the early and mid-game, making the extra damage from Absolute Focus consistently active. It adds a valuable edge to your burst combos, giving you that little bit of extra power needed to secure kills with your Pick A Card + Wild Cards combo or during a Destiny roam.

Gathering Storm is a scaling rune that fits well into late game focused Twisted Fate builds. While Twisted Fate’s power curve is typically centered around his first and second item spikes, in games where you expect to go the distance or against team comps with heavy scaling, Gathering Storm ensures that your damage remains relevant. The bonus adaptive damage it grants every 10 minutes pairs excellently with Twisted Fate’s high AP ratios on Wild Cards and Pick A Card, letting you chunk enemies and pressure side lanes even in the late stages of the game. It’s particularly valuable when paired with Rapid Firecannon and Lich Bane, allowing you to one shot squishies or destroy towers with ease once your AP has scaled up.

Boots of Swiftness are a niche but valuable pick on Twisted Fate in games where consistent movement speed is more important than burst of speed or defensive stats. These boots reduce the effectiveness of slow effects and give a large flat movement speed boost, making them ideal for roaming, map rotations, and chasing down targets with Pick A Card picks. You’ll want to consider them when facing heavy slows or sticky champions like Ashe, Senna, Nasus, or Anivia where being slowed can heavily limit your ability to position for picks or reposition during fights. They also shine in games where you’re the primary engager or pick threat and need to reliably move around the map without relying solely on Destiny.

Mercury's Treads are your go-to defensive boot option when facing heavy crowd control or AP burst comps. The bonus magic resist and tenacity greatly reduce the effectiveness of enemy stuns, roots, and slows, which is crucial for Twisted Fate, a champion that relies on positioning and timing to land Pick A Card picks and safely reposition with Destiny. Consider these boots against champions like Lissandra, Morgana, Leona, or Annie, or when the enemy team comp has multiple sources of CC and AP damage.

Plated Steelcaps are a situational but strong defensive boot choice when facing heavy AD and auto-attack reliant comps. The bonus armor and basic attack damage reduction help you survive against champions like Zed, Talon, Yasuo, or ADC-heavy enemy teams. Pick these in games where you’re frequently threatened by AD assassins or bruisers diving the backline, or when you’re getting pressured in sidelanes by champions like Tryndamere or Fiora.

Sorcerer's Shoes are my standard and most common boot choice for Twisted Fate in the majority of games. The bonus magic penetration significantly amplifies your burst damage with Wild Cards, Pick A Card, and Destiny engages, especially in the early to mid-game when squishy targets won’t have much magic resist. Pick these in games where you’re playing aggressively for picks, roam plays, and burst combos. They’re perfect when the enemy team has few MR items and you need to maximize your pick potential.

Luden's Companion is my favourite core item for AP Twisted Fate. It offers burst damage, mana, ability haste, and a strong poke passive that synergizes perfectly with your Wild Cards and Pick A Card combos. It’s a go-to option for aggressive, burst-focused playstyles and roaming setups. Build this when you’re aiming for strong early-mid game pick potential, or when you want to control sidelanes and punish squishier comps.

Rod of Ages is a fantastic scaling item for Twisted Fate that provides AP, health, and mana, all stats he appreciates. It also heals you over time with its passive. Ideal for slower-paced games where survivability and scaling matter more than early burst. Take this when you expect longer fights, need extra durability against poke/burst-heavy comps, or want to safely scale.

Lich Bane remains a must-buy item on Twisted Fate due to how well it synergizes with Pick A Card. Every time you use Pick A Card or any spell, your next auto attack deals bonus magic damage, perfect for burst trades, skirmishes and splitpushing.

Rapid Firecannon is a staple on Twisted Fate, extending your auto attack range for safer, long-distance Gold Card picks. The extra Energized magic damage and range makes it easier to catch priority targets or pressure sidelanes. Build this mid-game if your focus is on picks, sieging, or catching out-of-position carries. It pairs very well with Lich Bane.

Zhonya's Hourglass is essential for Twisted Fate in dive-heavy or burst-heavy games. It gives you a stasis active to dodge key ultimates and abilities, making aggressive Destiny engages much safer. You can buils this earlier if you’re against champions like Zed, Vi, Rengar, or any high-threat assassin. Avoid delaying it too long if you’re consistently getting targeted.

Rabadon's Deathcap is your big AP spike item, multiplying your total AP and massively increasing your burst damage. It turns your picks and combos into true kill threats on almost any target. Buy this as a third or fourth item when you’ve already built utility or survivability items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Rapid Firecannon. Avoid rushing it if you’re behind or need defensive stats to survive.

Banshee's Veil is a strong defensive option that offers AP, magic resist, and a spell shield to block one enemy ability. Great against CC-heavy or pick comps. Pick this up when dealing with champions like Morgana, Malphite, Syndra, or Blitzcrank, or when you’re vulnerable to long-range engages. Avoid it if the enemy lacks picks or heavy AP threats.

Void Staff is a must-have late-game item when enemies start stacking magic resist. It ensures your damage stays relevant against tanky frontlines and scaling bruisers. Grab it third or fourth when items like Spirit Visage, Abyssal Mask, or Force of Nature start appearing.

Mejai's Soulstealer is a high-risk, high-reward snowball item. If you’re ahead early and confident you can keep up kills/assists, it’s a cheap and highly efficient way to stack AP and movement speed. Buy it if you’re 3-0+ or getting consistent picks with Destiny. Avoid it if the game’s even or you’re likely to die often.

Elixir of Sorcery is your go-to late-game consumable for a temporary AP spike, bonus true damage to abilities, and mana sustain. Ideal before crucial teamfights, objectives, or final base pushes. Pick it up once you’ve completed your core build or before Baron Elder fights to maximize your pick potential and burst damage.

Back to Top

When it comes to Twisted Fate, Flash is non-negotiable. It’s your essential defensive and playmaking tool, letting you instantly reposition to dodge key abilities, escape ganks, or close the gap for a cruical Pick A Card stun. The flexibility Flash offers makes it mandatory in every setup.

Personally, when I’m playing to climb seriously, I always run Teleport + Flash. This combination offers unmatched consistency, macro control, and safety throughout every stage of the game. Teleport allows you to match side lane pressure, respond to early skirmishes, and reset efficiently without falling behind in farm or tempo. It also pairs perfectly with Destiny for map-wide impact. The reliability this combo brings is what makes it my go-to in ranked, and I truly believe it’s the best setup for anyone aiming to consistently climb with Twisted Fate. That said, if you’re playing on a smurf, going for montage plays, or just having fun, there are alternative summoner options worth considering.

Ignite is a strong aggressive pick into melee matchups you can pressure early, like Sylas, Katarina, or Yone. It’s best combined with Electrocute, as other keystones lack the kill threat to fully capitalize on the extra damage. Running this setup works best alongside an early game jungler where you can look to 2v2 skirmish, play for early snowball leads, and dive side lanes together.

Exhaust is your go-to defensive choice, especially against all-in burst champions like Zed, Yasuo, Yone, or Fizz. It’s perfect for denying assassination attempts post-6, allowing you to neutralize their engage and turn trades in your favour. If you’re not confident in a matchup or your team lacks peel, Exhaust gives you the extra safety net you need to survive high-pressure lanes.

Ghost is an underrated but surprisingly effective summoner on Twisted Fate in certain matchups and comps. It excels in extended mid game skirmishes, roam-heavy playstyles, and dive comps where you need to stick on targets after a Gold Card. It synergizes well with Destiny, letting you cover more distance, reposition in fights, and chase down priority carries. Ghost is at its best when your team’s ahead or when facing comps with little crowd control.

This section explains the difficulty ratings you’ll see listed in the banners above each champion’s matchup. Each matchup is rated based on how challenging it is for Twisted Fate to play against them in lane and throughout the game.

Easy
Lanes where you have the advantage and can pressure or safely farm without major threats.

Medium
Skill-based lanes or matchups with small windows of opportunity, mistakes can decide the lane

Hard
Challenging lanes where the enemy can reliably pressure or outtrade you. Requires smart play and good map control.

Very Hard
Severely difficult matchups. The opponent heavily outscales or counters your kit. Focus on surviving, roaming, and avoiding isolated fights.

Use this key to quickly understand how favorable or difficult a matchup will be at a glance!



Early Game
Ahri has strong early lane control with her Orb of Deception poke and sustain from Essence Theft. Focus on staying healthy, avoiding unnecessary trades until you have Pick A Card and Wild Cards at your disposal. Look to farm safely with Wild Cards from range when needed and thin waves under tower.
If she overextends, you can threaten with a Gold Card + Wild Cards trade, but avoid fighting inside the minion wave early since her orb will hit both you and the wave, pushing it in her favor.

How To Trade
The cleanest trade is to walk up, start Pick A Card, and lock a Gold Card when you get close. Stun her, immediately throw out Wild Cards in her retreat path, and follow with an auto.

Quick Tip: Before committing to a trade, bait out her Charm by faking a step forward or pretending to start Pick A Card. Once it’s on cooldown, you have a safe window to trade.

What to Watch Out For
- Charm (E): This is her main setup ability. If she lands this, you're in serious danger, especially post-6 when she has Spirit Rush.
- Her Level 6 All-In: Ahri's triple dash from Spirit Rush makes her a serious assassination threat. Avoid extended trades unless you know her cooldowns.
- Roams: She’s a strong roaming mid, so be mindful of her disappearing after shoving waves. Ping your side lanes and match with Destiny when you can.

Tips
- Stand slightly behind minions to block her Charm.
- When she uses Orb of Deception to last-hit, that’s your best window for a trade.
- Post-6, save Destiny defensively if you're low HP or she’s missing.
- Buy an early Verdant Barrier or Null-Magic Mantle if behind or struggling.
- Ahri’s mobility makes it tough to land Wild Cards, prioritize catching her with Gold Card first, then follow with your skillshot.
- If you get ahead early, you can pressure side lanes and force Ahri to answer, where she’s less effective without follow-up.

Early Game
Akali’s weak early levels are your best opportunity to get ahead. Focus on poking with Pick A Card (Blue Card for mana sustain, Gold Card for safe trades) and Wild Cards through the minion wave. Stay behind your wave to limit her ability to hit you with Five Point Strike.
Avoid standing in your minion wave at level 2-3 when she might take Shuriken Flip to look for a jump-in combo.

How To Trade
Start Pick A Card and lock Gold Card. When she walks up for a last hit, stun her with Gold Card, immediately follow with Wild Cards and an auto.
Keep trades short and controlled, don’t chase into her minion wave, and back off if she pops Twilight Shroud unless you have vision or Destiny up.

What to Watch Out For
- Level 6 All-In: Once she hits 6, she can burst you from 100 to 0 if you’re careless, especially if she lands both Perfect Execution dashes.
- Twilight Shroud (W): Her shroud makes her untargetable and gives her outplay potential. Don’t waste cooldowns until she reveals herself or you use Destiny to reveal her.

Tips
- Pro Tip: You can use Destiny while she’s in her Twilight Shroud to reveal her and land a guaranteed Gold Card. It’s one of the best counters to her invisibility mechanic.
- Build Seeker's Armguard early into Zhonya's Hourglass, it helps you survive her burst and lets you bait with stasis.
- Try to shove the wave early and roam. Akali struggles to follow TF’s map pressure before 6.
- If she misses Shuriken Flip, you have a small window to punish with Gold Card + Wild Cards.
- After level 6, play safer under tower or with jungle vision. Avoid fighting without Flash or Zhonya's Hourglass available.
Early Game
Annie has strong early lane control thanks to her safe waveclear with Disintegrate and threat of all-in pressure once she stacks Pyromania. In the early levels, focus on farming with Wild Cards from a distance and thinning waves under tower if needed. Avoid unnecessary trades until you have both Pick A Card and Wild Cards available to respond. Be mindful of her stun timer, when it’s charged, she’ll look for an aggressive Flash + Summon: Tibbers combo at level 6.

How to Trade
The cleanest trade window is after she uses Disintegrate on a minion. Walk up, start Pick A Card, lock a Gold Card, and throw out Wild Cards in her retreat path. Play around her cooldowns, she’s vulnerable when Molten Shield is down and her stun isn’t up.

What to Watch Out For
- Pyromania Stun: Always track her stun stacks. When she’s one spell away from a stun, back off until she uses it or prepare to Cleanse if you want to fight/bait for your team.
- Flash + Summon: Tibbers Combo: Post-6, this is her biggest kill threat. If she has Ignite and you’re chunked, expect an all-in attempt.
- Annie can roam effectively with a pre-charged stun, so ping side lanes if she goes missing and match with Destiny when possible.

Tips
- Mercury's Treads are a fantastic early buy in this matchup, mitigating her burst and reducing CC duration from Pyromania.
- Post-6, always keep an eye on her positioning and ping if she disappears from mid lane. She’s one of the most telegraphed roamers in the game.
- If you chunk her early, deny her access to a safe recall or roam timing by shoving the wave quickly with Wild Cards.
- Time your Destiny defensively if you’re low HP or missing key cooldowns when she’s level 6+.



Early Game
Hwei controls the lane well with his long-range poke and waveclear. Focus on farming with Pick A Card, using Blue Card to manage mana. Stay behind your minions to avoid unnecessary poke from his Q and E. Don’t overextend early, just survive and scale.

How To Trade
Look for small, quick trades when Hwei burns his cooldowns. Walk up, land a Gold Card, Wild Cards, and an auto, then back off. Never chase through minions, his abilities hit harder when clustered.

What to Watch Out For
- Long-Range Poke: His Q and E can chunk you from a distance if you’re not careful.
- Waveclear Control: Hwei clears waves faster than you early, so be ready to farm under tower.
- Roams: If he pushes you in, he may look to roam. Keep good vision and ping your team.

Tips
- Build early magic resist like Null-Magic Mantle if you’re struggling with poke.
- Coordinate ganks with your jungler when Hwei overextends without proper vision.
- After level 6, use Destiny to make proactive plays on side lanes to offset his lane dominance.
- If you can dodge his Q+E combo consistently, the lane becomes a lot easier to manage.

Early Game
Katarina’s weak early levels are your chance to control the lane. Use Wild Cards and Gold Card to poke her when she moves up for CS. Manage the wave to avoid giving her easy dagger setups and thin it out before it stacks. Focus on farming safely and zoning when you can.

How To Trade
Go for quick Gold Card → Auto → Wild Cards combos when she steps up. Avoid long trades, stick to short bursty trades and back off. Don’t throw Gold Card too early or she’ll Shunpo it. Instead, bait her to commit first, then lock her down when she goes for a dagger.

What to Watch Out For
All-Ins After 6: Katarina’s burst gets deadly post-6. Be extra careful if your Flash isn’t available.
Reset Potential: If she gets a kill or assist during a fight, she’ll reset Shunpo and snowball. Don’t group too close.
Roams: She roams well with Boots and Shunpo, so track her with Destiny and ping your team.

Tips
- Pro Tip: If Katarina uses Shunpo aggressively onto a dagger or minion, immediately lock her down with Gold Card before she can reset or escape. Most Kat players will instinctively try to spam abilities after jumping in, punishing that window is your best chance for a clean kill or forcing her Flash early.
- Hold Gold Card for when she commits. It forces her to hesitate or waste cooldowns.
- Use Destiny proactively to match her roams or reveal her hiding spots in side lanes.
- Stay away from her daggers in minion waves to avoid free damage.
- Save Zhonya's Hourglass for her Death Lotus burst once you can afford it.

Early Game
Lux has strong early poke with Lucent Singularity and solid defensive zoning with Light Binding. Focus on dodging her skillshots and staying healthy while farming with Wild Cards from a distance. Use the wave to your advantage, hiding behind minions makes it much harder for her to land Light Binding and set up her combos. Avoid extended trades early since she out-pokes you until you have a few levels and some mana sustain.

How to Trade
Look for trade windows when Lux uses Lucent Singularity for waveclear or misses Light Binding. Walk up, pre-lock a Gold Card, and engage with an auto-attack and Wild Cards combo. The key is patience, bait out her binding or snare first, then immediately punish. Don’t trade when her cooldowns are up unless you have a clear angle.

What to Watch Out For
- Light Binding (Q): This is her most dangerous tool. If it connects, you’ll eat her full combo, which can chunk you heavily post-6. Always keep minions between you and her.
- Her Level 6 All-In: Final Spark combined with a full combo is lethal if you’re caught by CC. Stay at a safe distance when low HP, and respect her burst damage.
- Wave Control: Lux excels at pushing waves and keeping you pinned under tower. Be careful about overextending for CS and falling behind on tempo.

Tips
- Rush Mercury's Treads to reduce CC duration and magic damage, it makes a massive difference post-6.
- Save Pick A Card to threaten a Gold Card when she steps up aggressively. It forces her to play safer and gives you room to breathe.
- Post-6, look for Destiny roams. Lux is a poor roamer and can’t follow effectively, so use your global to snowball side lanes and avoid a stale mid lane.
- If you see her use Lucent Singularity for poke, it’s a great opportunity to push the wave and look to reset or roam.
- Be wary of jungle ganks when low, Lux’s snare makes setting up kills for her jungler easy.


Early Game
This is a passive, farm-heavy matchup early on. Malzahar will look to safely farm with Malefic Visions and Call of the Void, using his Void Shift passive to avoid your harass. Focus on maintaining wave control and keeping your CS up. Avoid overtrading into his voidlings when his E is active on you. Punish him when his passive is down, auto attack him once to break Void Shift, then immediately threaten a Gold Card trade.

How to Trade
Pre-level 6, look for quick Gold Card → auto → Wild Cards trades when his Void Shift is down. Be mindful of his passive cooldown and avoid wasting your stun while it’s up. Don’t overstay in trades, as his voidlings plus Malefic Visions can deal more damage than expected in extended fights.

What to Watch Out For
- Void Shift Passive: This is his best defensive tool against your pick potential. Track its cooldown and ping when it’s down for your jungler.
- Nether Grasp (R): Post-6, his point-and-click suppression can instantly punish you if caught out of position. Always have Flash or Destiny ready to escape or avoid getting caught in side lanes.
- Malzahar excels at wave-pushing with Malefic Visions + voidlings. If you let him freely shove, he’ll force you under tower and open up roams or tower plating pressure.

Tips
- Break his Void Shift with an auto before committing your combo.
- Prioritize Mercury's Treads or Banshee's Veil to help deal with his suppression.
- Roam aggressively post-6 with Destiny, Malzahar has no ability to follow your global plays and is weak at contesting early skirmishes.
- If you get ahead, you can one-shot his voidlings with Wild Cards and Pick A Card trades, denying him his primary waveclear tool.
- Be cautious when walking into fogged areas or near objectives after 6, as his suppression paired with a jungler can instantly delete you.


Early Game
Orianna controls the lane well with her consistent poke and waveclear. Focus on farming with Pick A Card, using Blue Card to manage your mana and Gold Card for defensive trades. Stay behind minions to dodge Command: Attack and Command: Dissonance poke.

Be careful around level 2 and 3, where she can start zoning you with her ball placement and Q+W trades.

How To Trade
Wait for Orianna to use Command: Dissonance to clear the wave or poke, then step up for a quick Gold Card, followed by Wild Cards and an auto attack.
Keep trades short, don’t chase into her minions and avoid standing near her ball, as her damage spikes when you’re close to it.

What to Watch Out For
- Sustained Poke: Orianna can poke you down if you let her constantly land Q+W combos.
- Level 6 All-In: Command: Shockwave can set up burst combos or ganks. Save Flash or Zhonya's Hourglass for it in risky situations.
- Wave Control: She clears faster than you early, so be ready to farm under tower and use Blue Card to keep up your mana.

Tips
- Pro Tip: After hitting level 6, you can punish Orianna’s tendency to push by using Destiny to roam and snowball side lanes. Orianna struggles to match TF’s map impact.
- Consider early into Boots of Swiftness to help dodge Command: Attack.
- Stay mobile in lane and avoid standing directly on top of your minion wave to reduce the value of her Q+W poke.
- If Orianna uses Command: Dissonance aggressively for poke, that’s your window to trade with Gold Card and Wild Cards.
- Always track her ball position. Don’t fight near it unless she mispositions or it’s on cooldown.

Early Game
Syndra controls early lanes with superior range and burst potential from her Dark Sphere and Scatter the Weak combo. Stay defensive in the early levels, prioritizing CS with Wild Cards and avoiding unnecessary trades. Be careful when walking up for last hits, as she’ll constantly look for Dark Sphere poke or an all-in setup if you’re mispositioned.

How to Trade
Your cleanest trade windows are when she uses Dark Sphere for last hitting or her Scatter the Weak is down. Walk up, prime Pick A Card, lock a Gold Card, and immediately follow with Wild Cards in her retreat path. Try to avoid standing near minions when trading, as it makes it easier for her to land both poke and stun setups.

What to Watch Out For
- Scatter the Weak (E): Syndra’s stun is the biggest threat in this lane. If she lands this, especially post-6, you’re in serious danger of getting 100-0’d by Unleashed Power.
- Her Level 6 Power Spike: Be extremely cautious after level 6 when she unlocks Unleashed Power. Even if you’re healthy, her burst can be lethal if you’re caught by CC first.
- Roams: While Syndra isn’t the best roamer pre-6, she can shove waves fast with Dark Sphere and Force of Will. Be mindful of when she goes missing, and use Destiny to track or counter-roam.

Tips
- Rushing Mercury's Treads is crucial in this matchup to reduce her burst and CC duration.
- If she uses Scatter the Weak aggressively and misses, you have a brief window to walk up, lock Gold Card, and punish with Wild Cards.
- Play around her cooldowns, without Scatter the Weak, Syndra is far less threatening.
- Don’t hesitate to play for roams post-6. Destiny allows you to sidestep an oppressive lane phase by impacting other parts of the map while Syndra has to catch waves.
- Avoid walking in straight lines, be unpredictable in your movement to dodge her skillshots, especially when she has multiple spheres on the ground.


Early Game
Sylas is a heavy all-in melee champ with sustain. Abuse your range advantage early with Pick A Card and Wild Cards poke. Use Blue Card to maintain mana so you can consistently punish him for walking up to farm.
Stay behind your minion wave early so you don’t get hit by his Chain Lash + Kingslayer combo.

How To Trade
Use Gold Card when Sylas goes in for a last hit, follow up with Wild Cards and a quick auto, then back off before he can dash onto you.
Keep trades short and never overcommit, Sylas excels in extended fights due to his healing and cooldowns. Don’t fight him if he still has Kingslayer up.

What to Watch Out For
- Level 3 All-In: Sylas is dangerous at level 3 with all his abilities up. Keep your distance and don't waste Gold Card unless you’re ready to trade or escape.
- Healing: His Kingslayer gives him surprising sustain in trades. If you don’t have Ignite, consider Morellonomicon early.
- Stolen Destiny: Once he hits 6, Sylas can steal your Destiny. Be mindful of his ultimate cooldown and avoid giving him free roam power.

Tips
-Pro Tip: When Sylas uses Abscond / Abduct, sidestep or back up before he can connect the second part. If he misses it, it’s your window to punish with Gold Card and Wild Cards.
- Build Seeker's Armguard early and rush Zhonya's Hourglass, the stasis is excellent for dodging his burst.
- Ward both sides of mid, since Sylas pairs well with gank-heavy junglers. Stay near your tower if vision is lacking.
- Roam proactively after level 6. Sylas struggles to follow fast map plays since he typically wants to fight and farm mid.
-Save Gold Card for self-peel when Sylas dives. Don’t waste it on poke unless he cannot engage onto you.

Early Game
Viktor’s early laning isn’t too oppressive until he gets his first augment and items. Focus on last-hitting with Pick A Card, using Blue Card to manage mana early and poking with Gold Card when he walks up for CS. Stay behind minions to avoid getting clipped by Hextech Ray and don’t get greedy for trades pre-6.

How To Trade
Lock Gold Card when Viktor steps up for a last hit. Hit him with Gold Card, immediately follow up with Wild Cards, and back off. Avoid extended trades, Viktor’s sustained damage and zone control can punish you hard if you overstay.

What to Watch Out For
- Hextech Ray (E): Viktor’s main poke and trading tool. Position well so you don’t get hit by both the line and explosion.
- Gravity Field (W): Watch his stun zone, if he catches you in it you’re an easy target for follow-up burst.
- Mid-Game Spike: Once Viktor upgrades his ability with Glorious Evolution and finishes first item, his poke ramps up fast. Don’t stick around at low health.

Tips
- Pro Tip: Viktor often telegraphs his Hextech Ray by last-hitting a low-health caster minion. Use this moment to step forward with Gold Card and punish him.
- Build early Null-Magic Mantle into Mercury's Treads if you’re struggling with his poke and is good into enemy champions.
- After level 6, look for opportunities to roam with Destiny. Viktor struggles to match roams quickly due to his waveclear reliance.
- If you dodge his Hextech Ray and avoid standing inside Gravity Field, you will be able to hold your own.


Early Game
This is a slow-paced, scaling lane. Vladimir has weak early-game presence but solid sustain through Transfusion, making it tough to chip him down without jungle pressure. Focus on cleanly farming with Wild Cards and zoning him off CS with pre-locked Gold Cards when possible. Be mindful of wave positioning, avoid overpushing early since Vladimir will happily farm under tower and scale.

How to Trade
Your best trade pattern is simple: walk up, start Pick A Card, and lock a Gold Card just outside of his auto range. Hit him with an auto, immediately throw Wild Cards behind him as he retreats, then back off. Look to trade when his Transfusion is on cooldown or after he uses Sanguine Pool to avoid your Gold Card. Be cautious, as he’ll often play passively until level 9 when his Q becomes oppressive.

What to Watch Out For
- Sanguine Pool (W): Vladimir can dodge your Gold Card and Wild Cards combo with this. Don’t waste your stun unless you know his pool is down, or you’re forcing a gank.
- His Level 9 Spike: Once Vladimir maxes Transfusion, his damage and sustain spike hard. This is your timer to roam and impact the map before mid-late scaling kicks in.
- All-Ins Post-6: His full combo with Hemoplague can easily chunk or kill you if you’re caught without flash. Play defensively around his ultimate cooldown and health bar.

Tips
- Buy an early Seeker's Armguard or Verdant Barrier if struggling.
- Ping your jungler for early ganks. Vladimir is vulnerable pre-6 and has no hard CC or escape besides Sanguine Pool.
- Use Destiny proactively to snowball sides, Vladimir has terrible wave control pre-6 and can’t follow your roams.
- If he uses Sanguine Pool to dodge a gank or a trade, punish him hard during its cooldown.
- Never chase into fog or tight jungle corridors post-6. His AoE and sustain make him dangerous in drawn-out fights.


Early Game
Yasuo’s early game is volatile, he’s weak before level 3 but becomes a major threat once he gets Sweeping Blade and Wind Wall. Play safe early, poke with Pick A Card (Blue Card for mana sustain, Gold Card to punish), and use Wild Cards when he goes for last hits.

How To Trade
Wait for Yasuo to use Sweeping Blade charges on minions, then step up with Gold Card ready. Stun him as he last-hits, throw Wild Cards, and back off. Keep trades short, extended fights always favor Yasuo, especially post-6.

What to Watch Out For
- Wind Wall (W): This completely blocks your Wild Cards, Pick A Card and auto-attacks. Bait it out before committing to a big trade or gank.
- Level 6 Power Spike: Once he hits 6, his all-in is deadly if he lands a knock-up from Steel Tempest or Sweeping Blade. Stay healthy and don’t get greedy when low.
- Minion Wave Control: Yasuo relies on minions to dash through. Keep the wave near your tower to limit his options.

Tips
- Pro Tip: If Yasuo uses Wind Wall reactively to your Gold Card, you can walk up and throw it point-blank, if you're close enough the Wind Wall won't block it.
- Build early Seeker's Armguard into Zhonya's Hourglass to survive his burst.
- Exhaust can shut down his all-in at 6, consider it over if you’re not confident in dodging his combos.
- After level 6, look for roams with Destiny. Yasuo can’t follow map pressure quickly unless the wave is shoved.


Early Game
Yone’s early game isn’t as oppressive as Yasuo’s before level 3, but once he has both parts of Mortal Steel and Soul Unbound, it gets dangerous. Focus on farming with Pick A Card, using Blue Card for mana sustain and Gold Card for safe trades. Keep the wave closer to your tower to limit his dash windows and avoid getting chunked by his Q+auto combos.

How To Trade
Wait for him to use Soul Unbound aggressively or to burn his Q stacks. Stun him with Gold Card as he steps up for a last-hit, toss out Wild Cards, then disengage before he can reset his cooldowns. Keep trades short and never commit if his Soul Unbound mark is still active.

What to Watch Out For
- Soul Unbound (E): His engage tool and main burst source. Don’t fight while his soul is active unless you’re well ahead or under tower.
- Knock-up Combo: His stacked Q is a fast knock-up into Fate Sealed. Avoid lining up with your minions to make this harder for him to hit.
- Level 6 Spike: His all-in is terrifying once he hits 6, play safe, keep vision, and call for jungle assistance when needed.

Tips
- Pro Tip: If Yone ults aggressively under tower, bait his Soul Unbound return and chain a Gold Card stun as he teleports back. It’s a great punish window.
- Seeker's Armguard is a good early buy to help deal with his burst and makes up for TF’s lack of base armor.
- Exhaust heavily reduces his all-in potential, especially post-6. A great choice in this matchup.
- Use Destiny for map plays once you hit 6.


Early Game
Zed has weak early levels before he gets points in Razor Shuriken and Living Shadow. Use this time to farm with Pick A Card, poke with Gold Card, and stay healthy. Keep your distance and avoid standing in line with your minions to dodge his shuriken poke.

How To Trade
Look for quick Gold Card + Wild Cards trades when he uses his Living Shadow to farm or poke. Don’t overextend, and never chase through his shadow or shuriken line. Keep trades short and controlled, you out-pressure with map plays, not 1v1 fights.

What to Watch Out For
- Level 6 Spike: Zed’s Death Mark all-in can easily burst you if you aren’t careful. Back off when he hits 6 unless your jungler is nearby.
- Double Shuriken Combos: If he lands both shurikens (from himself and his shadow), it chunks hard. Never line up with your wave.
- Shadow Juke Plays: Zed can reposition quickly with Living Shadow, always track his shadow placement and spacing.

Tips
- Pro Tip: Save Gold Card for when Zed reappears after Death Mark. If timed right, you can instantly stun him before he gets to burst you.
- Always buy an early Seeker's Armguard and rush Zhonya's Hourglass. The active can completely deny his Death Mark combo.
- Roam as much as possible post-6. Zed hates chasing TF across the map since his roams are slower and riskier.
- Ping your team when Zed disappears, his roams can snowball games fast if untracked.

Twisted Fate peforms best when paired with champions that can either engage hard, isolate targets for quick picks, or bring strong split-push and roam pressure to the map. His ability to instantly join fights with Destiny and lock down key enemies with Gold Card makes him one of the best map control champions in the game.

This section highlights champions with strong synergy based on a few key points:
• Best Game Phase: When this pairing is strongest (Early, Mid, or Late Game)
• Ideal Play Patterns: How to effectively combine abilities and map movements
• What Makes This Duo Work: The strengths this pair brings to a game
• Tips: Quick advice for getting the most out of this synergy

Use this as a reference when drafting your comp or playing duo queue, it’ll help you set up clean picks, dominate sidelanes, and swing teamfights in your favour.

Best Game Phase
Mid to Late Game Picks & Skirmishes

Ideal Play Patterns
- Camille looks for picks with Hookshot + Hextech Ultimatum, isolating a high-priority target in a confined zone.
- As soon as Camille locks someone down, Twisted Fate uses Destiny to instantly teleport into the fight with a pre-selected Gold Card.
- The chain CC leaves little to no time for the enemy to react or escape. Camille's burst and dueling power combined with Twisted Fate's follow-up makes for a guaranteed kill.
- In side lane pressure scenarios, Camille can split-push while Twisted Fate hovers mid with Destiny ready to collapse on whichever side needs assistance.

What Makes This Duo Work
- Camille's ult isolates targets, while Twisted Fate's global presence ensures those targets are never safe, even under tower.
- Hextech Ultimatum into Gold Card creates one of the cleanest, most reliable pick combos in the game.
- Both champions threaten side lanes with kill pressure and mobility, forcing the enemy to overcommit resources or risk constant 2v1s.
- Both scale into strong skirmishers and split-pushers, making them excellent at breaking up team formations and controlling map tempo.


Tips
- Pro Tip: Time your Destiny to arrive just as Camille's Hookshot lands or while she’s casting Hextech Ultimatum to instantly chain CC.
- Camille should communicate her engage plans ahead of time, giving Twisted Fate a window to select a Gold Card before committing.
- Look to collapse on side laners overextending for farm, this duo excels at turning what should be a safe side lane into a death trap.
- After a successful pick, immediately convert into an objective like Dragon, Baron Nashor, Atakhan, or outer towers to snowball your lead.


Best Game Phase
Mid Game Skirmishes & Objective Control

Ideal Play Patterns
- Jarvan IV starts fights by engaging with Demacian Standard + Dragon Strike (E+Q) into Cataclysm to lock down a key target or multiple enemies.
- As soon as Jarvan IV goes in, Twisted Fate activates Destiny and teleports in with a pre-selected Gold Card, targeting the most valuable enemy caught in Jarvan IV's ult.
- In skirmishes and jungle fights, Jarvan IV's AoE knock-up and Cataclysm zoning make it easy for Twisted Fate to land Wild Cards and safely position for follow-up damage.
- Around objectives like Dragon, Atakhan or Baron Nashor, this duo can force picks before the enemy has time to react, guaranteeing a numbers advantage for the ensuing fight.

What Makes This Duo Work
- Jarvan IV's lockdown into Twisted Fate's CC and burst is one of the cleanest pick chains in the game.
- Destiny ensures Jarvan IV's engages are never isolated, Twisted Fate can always be there to turn even risky plays into favorable skirmishes.
- Their ability to pick off targets and control space around objectives makes contesting neutral objectives extremely difficult for the enemy team.
- Both champions peak in mid-game, making them perfect for snowballing through coordinated roams and dives.

Tips
- Pro Tip: Time your Destiny activation right as Jarvan IV uses Flag and Drag to give yourself enough time to port in mid-fight with a loaded Gold Card.
- Jarvan IV should ping his engage intention ahead of time so Twisted Fate can select the appropriate card (usually Gold Card) and be ready to ult instantly.
- Use your combined CC to lock down slippery or high-value targets like Zed, Ahri, or Kai'Sa before they can escape or trade back.
- This duo is especially oppressive when invading jungle together post-6. Look for 2v2 fights or ambushes where Jarvan IV's early power spike and Twisted Fate's burst can overwhelm enemy laners and junglers.

Best Game Phase
Mid to Late Game Skirmishes & Picks

Ideal Play Patterns
- Twisted Fate uses Destiny to locate isolated or overextended enemies and locks them down with a Gold Card.
- The moment a pick is confirmed, Kai'Sa can instantly follow up with Killer Instinct, diving in to clean up the kill or burst squishy targets.
- In teamfights, this duo excels at collapsing onto backline champions together, with Twisted Fate providing the setup and Kai'Sa delivering the execution.
- Their combined burst makes it very difficult for anyone caught out of position to survive.

What Makes This Duo Work
- Their synergy lies in fast, decisive picks. Twisted Fate's global pressure makes Kai'Sa's dives much safer, knowing she won’t be alone.
- Once Twisted Fate locks someone down, Kai'Sa's ability to reposition with Killer Instinct guarantees a kill before the enemy can react.
- Both champions scale well into late game, and their map-wide pressure allows them to collapse on targets and outnumber fights consistently.

Tips
- Pro Tip: Always let Twisted Fate engage first, Kai'Sa should only dive in after a Gold Card lands or when the enemy is isolated.
- Look for side lane or jungle picks where you can burst a target before reinforcements arrive.
- Time your engages together and communicate via pings, catching one target out almost always leads to objective control or map pressure.


Best Game Phase
Mid Game Picks & Skirmishes

Ideal Play Patterns
- Pyke roams early and fishes for hooks with Bone Skewer.
- When he lands one, Twisted Fate can follow up instantly with a Gold Card for clean chain CC.
- Alternatively, when Pyke moves to a side lane post-6, Twisted Fate can use Destiny to follow up on his engages or dives.
- Their ideal pattern is forcing 2v1s or catching out overextended enemies with their combined burst and CC, quickly snowballing fights into map control.

What Makes This Duo Work
- This is one of the most oppressive pick duos in the game. Twisted Fate's ability to globally follow up on Pyke's engages makes any roam deadly.
- If either one lands CC, the other can follow with guaranteed burst, and Pyke's execution from Death from Below ensures no escape for low-health targets.
- Their fast tempo and roaming potential can completely destabilize side lanes and jungle control.

Tips
- Pro Tip: Pyke should look to roam mid post-6, allowing you to coordinate picks with Destiny.
- Prioritize Control Wards in river and jungle entrances to set up safe roaming paths and ambush points.
- Always chain CC properly, let Pyke hook or stun first, then follow with a Gold Card for a guaranteed kill.

In the early game, your primary goal as Twisted Fate is to safely secure farm while poking down your opponent with well-placed Wild Cards. You’re vulnerable in the first few levels, so avoid unnecessary trades against bursty or melee champs until you’ve hit level 3–4. Use Pick A Card for last-hitting under turret or to manage wave control.

Once you unlock level 6 and get your first major item (like Luden's Companion or Rod of Ages), your playstyle shifts. Start pushing waves quickly with Wild Cards and Red Card, forcing your opponent under tower while you look for Destiny opportunities. Early roams to bot lane are especially impactful, as a successful Gold Card pick can secure kills, dragon control, or turret plates.

Key Goals:
• Stay safe and farm efficiently.
• Poke with Wild Cards.
• Track enemy jungler positioning before committing.
• Push waves post-6 and roam with Destiny.
• Prioritize turret plates and sidelane kills with your globals.

Back to Top

The mid-game is where Twisted Fate shines. With Destiny off cooldown and one or two core items completed, you become a high-pressure pick machine. Prioritize pushing your side wave, then hovering around the mid lane or bot side jungle to control vision and threaten global picks.

Sieging becomes a huge part of your job here. Use Wild Cards to poke enemies off turrets while coordinating with your team. Potentially your long-range Gold Card picks with Rapid Firecannon can instantly win fights if you catch a priority target. Be disciplined with your Destiny usage, save it for cross-map picks, collapsing on overextended enemies, or defending sidelane turrets.

Key Goals:
• Control vision around objectives.
• Splitpush when safe with Lich Bane for turret pressure.
• Use Destiny proactively for picks, not reactive chases.
• Siege with long-range poke and zone control.
• Delay forced teamfights, poke and pick before committing.

Back to Top

In the late game, positioning and discipline are everything. Twisted Fate isn’t a backline DPS mage, he’s a pick and control champion. Always stick with your team unless you have Destiny available and clear vision to safely splitpush.

Focus on catching isolated targets with Gold Card picks. One good catch at this stage can lead directly to a Baron Nashor, Elder Dragon, or game-ending push. Use Wild Cards for poke to soften enemies before fights, but prioritize survival over damage, one death can lose your team the game.
Position safely behind your frontline or off to the side, where you can zone with Wild Cards and threaten key targets without being vulnerable to assassins or divers. Communicate cooldowns and pick windows with your team to secure clean engages.

Key Goals:
• Stick with your team unless splitpushing safely with vision + Destiny.
• Look for game-changing picks with Gold Card.
• Use Wild Cards for poke to create opportunities for kills.
• Play around major objectives, one pick wins games.
• Prioritize survival and positioning over greedy damage.

Back to Top

Teamfighting as Twisted Fate is all about precision, patience, and positioning. You’re not a frontline mage or AoE burst carry, you’re a control mage and pick specialist. Because you’re squishy and immobile, your primary role is to sit in the backline near your ADC, playing protect and punish. Your priority is to immediately Gold Card any enemy that dives your backline. Peeling for your carries keeps your damage dealers alive, and gives the best odds for winning fights.

If you're ahead or spot an opportunity, look for flanks or side entrances to fights where you can safely cast Destiny. Catching an isolated or out of position carry with a Gold Card is a guaranteed numbers advantage, and in late game fights, a single pick often leads to objectives or winning the game.

An underrated aspect of Destiny is its ability to counter stealth champions in chaotic fights. When facing champions like Shaco, Akali, Kha'Zix, Vayne, or Teemo, activating Destiny mid-fight reveals their position, denying them the element of surprise and setting up an easy Gold Card stun for your team to collapse on.

You should also be contributing consistent poke with Wild Cards before fights start, chipping away at the enemy team’s health bars. This softens their frontline and discourages hard engages, buying your team space to control objectives or siege.

Key Teamfighting Principles:
• Position behind your frontline, near your ADC.
• Prioritize peeling from enemy engagers with Gold Card.
• Use Destiny proactively for flank picks or to counter stealth threats.
• Poke consistently with Wild Cards to lower enemies.
• Only teleport aggressively with Destiny if you’re ahead and spot a guaranteed isolated target.
• Play for tempo, your pick potential often decides fights before they properly begin.

Mastering teamfights on Twisted Fate means knowing when to peel, when to poke, and when to pick. Your discipline and map awareness will win games far more often than raw damage.

Twisted Fate has a lot of small tricks that can make a big difference, especially in higher ranks. The better you get at using his kit well, the more impact you’ll have in your games. Here are some useful tips and smart plays to help you improve and get the most out of him:

When setting up for a fight, roam, or teleport play with Destiny, make sure to start cycling Pick A Card just before you need it. Aim to lock in a Gold Card right as you’re about to engage or land in a fight. This way, you minimize the chance of it timing out and instantly threaten a stun the moment you arrive.

Bush Cheese Level 1: Start the game by sitting in a side bush with Pick A Card active, and lock a Gold Card if enemies approach. This can secure an early Flash or even First Blood if your jungler or bot lane invades alongside you.

Mid-Wave Control: When under pressure, use Wild Cards from max range to safely last-hit minions and chip at the enemy’s health without risking trades or stepping up too far.

Instant Pick A Card Combo: You can buffer your Pick A Card and animation cancel your auto-attack by quickly locking a Gold Card and instantly using Flash or Destiny to close the gap and stun priority targets. Great for catching out carries or setting up fights.


Stealth Counter: Activate Destiny mid-fight or before major objectives to reveal stealth champions like Akali, Shaco, Kha'Zix, Evelynn, Vayne, and Teemo. It completely removes their ability to surprise or reposition.

Side Lane Threat: After buying Lich Bane, you become a dangerous splitpusher. Apply constant side lane pressure and use Destiny to join fights or collapse on overextended enemies, forcing tough decisions from the enemy team.

Wave Clear Efficiency: Aim Wild Cards diagonally through caster minions to clear the wave while simultaneously harassing your lane opponent. This maximizes your wave control and poke potential with one ability.

Zhonya's Bait Play: After engaging with a Gold Card or teleporting with Destiny, use Zhonya's Hourglass mid-fight to avoid burst damage and buy time for your team to follow up.

Track Enemy Summoners: Since Destiny lets you reach the backline or sides quickly, mentally track (or ping) enemy Flash cooldowns so you can prioritize immobile, high-value targets during ganks and teamfights.

Be Unpredictable: When splitpushing or setting up roams, alternate your lane pathing and teleport destinations with Destiny to avoid becoming predictable to experienced players.
