Teamfight Tactics Set 17 Stargazer Guide: Successfully Charting the Constellations

Stargazer is a Teamfight Tactics Set 17 trait with variance. Each game, the Stargazers chart a different constellation. Each constellation can shape how you approach a game from the new set. Seven different constellations can occur in each game. You can check the node above your shop to see which constellation it is for that game. Some compositions are only playable with specific constellations.

Teamfight Tactics: Stargazer Compositions

There are a handful of compositions you can play with Stargazer.

Fateweaver Reroll

Best played on the Medallion constellation. Reroll Twisted Fate, Caitlyn, Talon, Aatrox, and Jax. Two-star Jax is a better tank than three-star Aatrox. Add in Corki, Milio, and Riven as you level up. You can also play Rhaast and Gwen instead.

Lulu Reroll

Lulu reroll is playable with three constellations. Serpent, Fountain, or Medallion will work for Lulu. You have to hit three-star Lulu for the comp to function. Ideally, you also get a three-star Maokai. Pantheon and Milio are luxury three-star units. Twisted Fate, Jax, and Aatrox will complete your core units.

Xayah Carry

Xayah is best with the Boar or Serpent constellation. Altar is playable as well, but avoid the Fountain. Ideally, play with a winstreak, especially if you have the Boar constellation. You might need to stabilize your board on level eight. If you have the Health, rather look to go Fast Nine. Xayah and Jhin are your backline carries. Prioritize Tank items on Nunu, unless you have three Meeple for Rammus. Round out the composition with Mordekaiser, Rhaast, Gnar, Jax, and Bard.
