In this guide, we will breakdown the champions, board setups, and early to late game strategies you can utilize to dominate with a TFT Conqueror comp.

Have you always wanted to wage a fiery war on all your oppositions? Do you find being rewarded handsomely for your battles a thing so pleasurable? Then look no further for a Trait that will satisfy your warful taste other than the Conqueror comp in Teamfight Tactics.
Conqueror Trait Mechanics:
With this amazing trait, achieving plenty of takedowns to gain stacks of Conquest will enable you to open War Chests. These will give each Conqueror champion on your board with a 3% increase in AD and AP power boost.

To wage war with a powerful TFT Conqueror comp, aim to combine 2, 4, or all of these champions to get the trait bonus effect. Playing other champions that share other traits with your Conquerors will also increase your chances of winning rounds.

- Mordekaiser – Costs 5G and comes with Conqueror and Dominator traits.
- Mordekaiser’s ability allows him to gain Durability and he sends a giant claw that will deal AP Magic Damage to enemies in line. The 4 closest enemies that are hit by the claw will be pulled towards him.

Conqueror Trait Game Plan
The TFT Conqueror comp is best played Fast 8, which is an aggressive playstyle that aims to level up to 8 quickly to put a lot of 1-star champions on your board. However, if you want to play reroll, it would be best to go for a more flexible comp that slot 2 or 4 Conquerors with other champions then focusing on three starring low-costs.
For a Fast 8 game plan, here’s a rough strategy that could work, with the goal of getting the high-costs Ambessa and Mordekaiser.
Early Game:
Be aggressive as possible and try to have at least two Conquerors on your board and upgrade them early. Kill as many enemies as you can to open lots of War Loots.
Mid Game:
Build and maintain around your Conquerors on board. If you have a few pairs, go for a roll. If not, econ up for Fast 8.
Late Game:
Aim to level 8 and roll down to get Ambessa. If you’re on a win streak and achieved tons of Conqueror stacks, go for Mordekaiser and Sevika.
Suitable Augments:
For now, Crest and Crown are great for the Conqueror trait, but soon there will be much better as more tests and results are gathered from TFT.
Conclusion
For Set 13, TFT, the TFT Conqueror comp is a very powerful one suitable for an aggressive playstyle. The Conqueror trait with a mechanic that rewards constant battles and victories will soon be a favorite among players to try. We’ll likely see more development and diverse strategies that can be done with it as we progress into the newest set.
True to its name, the Conqueror trait will give you the feeling of a true emperor on a quest to bring every opponent down to their knees and obtain the riches that are rightfully yours
