# TFT Set 18 — Blossom / Adaptor (Master Yi) Comp Guide

**Set 18: Enchanted Wilds · Patch 18.2b · Updated Sept 16, 2026**

The strongest statistical comp in the set right now: **~79% top-4 rate, 3.01 average placement.** It's a Master Yi reroll board that abuses the Blossom trait to snowball Wisps into free stats.

## Why this comp is strong

Blossom gives your champions bonus **AD, AP, and max Health** — and it **empowers your Wisps after every combat.** Since Wisps are the set's core economy/power mechanic, Blossom turns your shop into a compounding engine. Patch 18.2 also **lowered Wisp costs across the board**, so you keep gold for XP and rolling.

Master Yi is a 3-cost **Adaptor**. His passive makes every third attack a **Double Strike** (hits twice), and on takedown he gains a burst of move speed. His Adaptor bonus lets you choose:

- **Double Strikes grant stacking attack speed** → scaling DPS, better vs. long fights
- **Double Strikes deal bonus damage and heal** → drain-tank Yi, better vs. burst

## Core board (Level 7–8)

| Unit | Cost | Role | Target star |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Master Yi** | 3 | **Primary carry** | ★★★ |
| **Kog'Maw** | 3 | Secondary carry | ★★★ |
| **Yorick** | 3 | Frontline / Adaptor | ★★★ |
| **Krug** | 3 | Frontline | ★★★ |
| **Vi** | 3 | Main tank | ★★★ |
| **Sett** | 3 | Bruiser | ★★ |
| **Nidalee (AP)** | 4 | Flex carry | ★★ |
| **Gromp** | 4 | Level 8 add | ★★ |

**Flex slots:** Sentinel (4-cost), Karma (early game filler).

> If you highroll 4-costs, you can push **5 Blossom** for maximum Wisp greed.

## Items

### Master Yi — primary carry

1. **Guinsoo's Rageblade** (core — stacks with Double Strike)
2. **Edge of Night**
3. **Titan's Resolve**

Yi wants **attack speed above all else**. Despite his Adaptor heal bonus, one healing/sustain item is very reasonable if you want him as a drain tank.

### Kog'Maw — secondary carry

Spear of Shojin · Rabadon's Deathcap · Jeweled Gauntlet

![Kog'Maw](https://qna.gg/g/tft-set-18-blossom-adaptor-master-yi-comp-guide-617e9c04/assets/kogmaw.jpg)

### Nidalee (AP flex)

Guinsoo's Rageblade · Spear of Shojin · Rabadon's Deathcap

### Vi — tank

Warmog's Armor · Gargoyle Stoneplate ×2

---

## Augments

**Economy (highest priority):**

- Latent Forge
- Portable Forge
- Living Forge

**Item augments:**

- Forged in Strength
- URF
- Nesting Anvils

**Combat options:**

- Heroic Grab Bag
- Legion of Threes

---

## Positioning

```
BACK    [ Master Yi ] [ Nidalee ] [ Kog'Maw ]

MID              [ Yorick ]

FRONT   [ Sett ]   [ Krug ]   [ Vi ]
```

Keep Yi in the back corner so he walks into the fight *after* your frontline has engaged and soaked the first burst.

---

## Roll plan

### Stage 2 — open strong

Play around a **Master Yi opener that can win streak.** Blossom is very powerful early. Prioritize win-streaking for gold and item drops.

### Stage 3 — build the shell

Add your Adaptor units and frontline. **Finish Master Yi's items by the end of this stage** — he should be fully itemized before you commit to rolling.

### Stage 4 — the roll-down

**Level to 7 and roll** for:

- Master Yi ★★
- Kog'Maw ★★
- A Juggernaut tank

Then **slow roll** at 7 to hit your 3-stars. Don't dump your whole bank at once — slow roll down to ~30–50 gold and let interest rebuild.

### Stage 5+ — cap the board

Level to **8** and add **Gromp**. From Stage 5 onward, **every other Wisp is a Combat Wisp**, and Blossom has been empowering them all game — this is where the comp spikes hardest.

---

## Wisp notes (important for this comp)

- Wisps appear in the **rightmost shop slot every other round**, purchasable during planning only.
- **One Wisp per round max.** If you skip it, the hidden unit behind it is revealed after planning.
- Categories: Champion, Combat, Misc, Shop, Gold/XP, Risky, Item — color-coded in shop.
- Costs range **0 to 45+ gold**, and every purchase **competes with your interest breakpoints.** Think before you buy.
- Because Blossom empowers Wisps after each combat, **your Wisps are better than everyone else's.** Lean into buying them more aggressively than you normally would.

---

## Quick decision rules

✅ **Force this comp if:** you hit early Master Yi copies, get an attack-speed item opener (Recurve Bow / Rageblade components), or find a Blossom emblem.

⚠️ **Pivot away if:** you're contested by 2+ players on Yi, or you're deep into Stage 4 without Yi ★★ and low on HP.

🔄 **Alternative Blossom line (Fast 8):** If you fall into AP items instead, play the **Ahri / Sett / Ashe** Blossom board — Ahri wants Eternal Pact + Spear of Shojin + Jeweled Gauntlet, Ashe wants Red Buff + Spear of Shojin + Last Whisper. Standard fast-8 econ: 4→5→6→7→8, never drop below 10 gold at 8.

---

## Meta context

TFT Academy lists **no S-tier comps** on Patch 18.2b — it's an open meta. Other strong lines to keep in your pocket: Fae/Spyrkin Rengar, Aphelios + Nidalee (rising fast), Ahri Sett Blossom, Caitlyn Reroll, Solar Reroll, Riftbeasts.

**Play flexible.** Follow your items and augments rather than hard-forcing from Stage 1.
