Each of the 29 TFT Set 10 traits has a musical track in Remix Rumble, with tracks mashing together as more traits become active on the board. The Emo trait is an Origin made up of Annie, Vex, Amumu, and Poppy. It’s a support trait with vertical potential thanks to the main mechanic in TFT Set 10 called Headliner.

Each Set 10 champion in Remix Rumble has a Headliner bonus, providing plus one of a trait and an effect that is active as soon as they hit the board. Each of the four Emo TFT champions has multiple traits that fuel a variety of comps.

  • Annie (Emo, Spellweaver): Headline bonus grants ability power
  • Vex (Emo, Executioner): Headline grants bonus ability power
  • Amumu (Emo, Guardian): Headline grants bonus health and magic resistance
  • Poppy (Emo, Mosher): Headline grants bonus health and attack damage

Annie is a one-cost that can slot into early Spellweaver builds while also having reroll potential. Vex is the primary backline carrier for the Emo trait while Amumu is a solid frontline defensive unit, especially as a Headliner. Poppy is a unique four-cost who also has the Mosher trait, creating a mashup of the two traits as a way to release the built-up mana.

The Emo trait in TFT Set 10 has three breakpoints at 2/4/6, reducing maximum mana at each breakpoint while granting mana whenever an Emo champion perishes. At the breakpoint of six, Emo champions gain ability power as well when another Emo unit is eliminated by an enemy. 

Players can hit six Emo through the Headliner mechanic which offers plus one of a trait and by crafting the Emblem with a Spatula and Tear. 

Best Emo TFT Set 10 comps

Poppy showed promise during PBE testing as a frontline carry in a Mosher/Emo build that uses Vex as a backline carrier. Emo and Spellweaver is another solid comp, as showcased by Mortdog during PBE testing.

Additional strategies will be added after Remix Rumble launches on Nov. 21.
