Well, let me tell ya ’bout this “headliner” thing in TFT. Ya know, it’s real simple once ya get the hang of it, but I reckon it can be a bit tricky at first, like how we used to plant corn before the rain. So, in this game called Teamfight Tactics, there’s this fella they call the “headliner.” What it does is, it pops up in your shop every time if ya ain’t got one yet. Now, if ya already have one, you only see one headliner in every four shops. Ain’t that somethin’? Kinda like only gettin’ eggs from the chickens every few days if they’re feelin’ lazy.
Now, lemme explain somethin’ real important. You can only have one headliner at a time, no more, no less. If you’re itchin’ for a new one, ya gotta sell the old one first. Just like when I swap out my old boots for a new pair at the market – you ain’t wearin’ two pairs at once, right? Same idea. Best time to do this is after the last round of each stage. For instance, by the time ya hit stage 2-7, it’s smart to sell your headliner, but only if your board’s strong enough to beat the Krugs. Then, when stage 3-1 rolls around, boom! Free reroll for a new headliner. It’s like gettin’ a free basket of apples with a loaf of bread, real sweet deal if ya ask me.

How Odds Work for Headliners
Now, this is where it gets a little fancy, but stay with me here. For a champion to pop up as a headliner, there’s gotta be at least 3 of ’em left in the pool. If ya got more than 4 copies of a tier 4 champion or 3 copies of a tier 5, well, tough luck. They ain’t gonna show up as a headliner anymore for ya. It’s like when you’ve picked all the ripe tomatoes from the garden – ain’t no more left till next season.
Ya might be wonderin’ when the next headliner shows up if ya buy one early on. Say, ya pick up a headliner at 1-4, the next one shows up about 4 rounds later, usually on 2-5. The trick here is to level up to level 5 by 2-3, and that way when 2-5 comes along, ya got better odds – about 70% – for a 2-cost headliner. That’s better than hopin’ for rain on a cloudy day!
Why Change Headliners?
Most of the time, you’d wanna switch headliners after each stage, ‘specially if ya need better odds for higher-tier champions. Like, ya wouldn’t keep wearin’ a straw hat in the winter, would ya? Same thing here – if you’re movin’ up levels, change that headliner for a better one. When ya hit level 5 or higher, the chances of gettin’ them strong champions go up, just like how the big crops come in during harvest season.
- Headliners show up every shop if ya ain’t got one yet.
- If ya got a headliner, they’ll only show up in 1 out of every 4 shops.
- Ya can only have one at a time, so sell before ya buy!
- Change it up after each stage if you want better odds.
- Higher level, better chance of stronger champions!
Final Thoughts
So, to wrap it all up, playin’ with headliners in TFT ain’t all that hard once ya get the hang of it. Just remember, you gotta sell one before ya can grab another, and it’s best to do it after a stage. Keep track of what’s in the pool, and don’t go hog-wild buyin’ too many champions, or else your odds get all outta whack. It’s a lot like how we handle things in the village – take what ya need, trade what ya don’t, and always keep an eye on what’s left in the barn. Happy rollin’!
