Which TFT unit do I use Anomaly on?
In TFT Set 13, the general rule is to use Anomalies on your primary carry. This unit is often your main source of damage, so enhancing them usually provides the best value. However, TFT is a dynamic game where adapting to the situation is key. Sometimes, it’s more effective to use an Anomaly on another unit, such as your main tank or secondary carry, depending on your team composition and the Anomaly available.
For instance, if you’re running a composition with an AD (Attack Damage) carry, a tank, and a secondary AP (Ability Power) carry, and an AP-focused Anomaly shows up, it might be worth giving it to your secondary carry instead of rerolling. On the other hand, if you have enough gold to spare, you should prioritize rerolling for an Anomaly that synergizes with your primary carry or tank.
In most cases, prioritize using Anomalies on your most upgraded unit with the best items to maximize their impact. It’s also crucial to assess your team’s needs. TFT is all about balance, so you need a mix of offense and defense to succeed.
For example, if you’re running an aggressive trait like Sorcerer, which boosts ability power, and you already have offensive augments like Manaflow, Blistering Strikes, and Pumping Up, it would be best to give the Anomaly to your main tank for added survivability. Even if Zoe is your primary carry in a Sorcerer comp, your tank could benefit more from the upgrade in this scenario.
When should I reroll my Anomaly?
Rerolling an Anomaly in TFT Set 13 costs 1 gold and plays a crucial role in tailoring your strategy to fit your team. Typically, you’ll want to prioritize finding an Anomaly that strengthens your primary carry, as this unit is often the cornerstone of your damage output.
It’s generally most effective to give an Anomaly to a high-cost unit, especially those priced at 4-cost or higher, as they tend to have the strongest impact on your team’s performance. However, if your composition already has sufficient damage, consider enhancing your tank instead. A stronger frontline can help to buy more time for your carries to deal damage.
Although rerolling an Anomaly only costs 1 gold and won't show you a duplicate, you should avoid spending too much on rerolls, as it can hurt your overall economy. To make the most of your gold, focus on selecting high-tier Anomalies — those ranked A or S tier — rather than settling for weaker options.
Start by evaluating your current composition and identifying the unit you want to empower. Once you’ve decided, refer to the tier list and choose an Anomaly that aligns with your strategy and provides the most value for your team.
