Teamfight Tactics (TFT) – When Should I Level?
When Should I Level?
Later in the game, the deciding when to level can be very important, because leveling up isn’t cheap. The decision to level should always be based on what your composition needs, and what you need to survive. If your composition has lots of low tier units that aren’t getting upgrades soon, then you should consider spending your gold on levels rather than rerolls. That way you can start winning rounds based on simply having more units than you opponent.
If you have six units out on the board, and only two bonuses that don’t stack particularly well, like Gunslinger and Brawler, then it’s probably time to start leveling up. This will allow you to place more units on the field, which could overwhelm your opponents, and it will let you see more high-rarity units in each draw you get. If you’re a higher level earlier in the game, you may be able to build a strong composition around a tier two Legendary unit that could help give your team some direction.
Once again, just like with rerolling, it’s important that you don’t spend all of your gold unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you think you’re going to need to level up to seven or eight then you’ll want to save up some gold so that you can still get interest after you’ve leveled.
