How do you build an economy?

Simply put, building an economy in TFT is just the process of saving up gold to maximise income from interest (up to 50g) while taking minimal damage from losing too many fights. It’s not very difficult to do at all, you’ll just need to follow a couple of very basic rules:

Save as much money as you can from each round

-Rerolling for a new set of champions in the first 10–15 rounds is often inefficient and a waste of gold

-This isn’t to say that you can’t, sometimes it might be worth rerolling once a round if you’re close to a three star upgrade

-Don’t buy champions unnecessarily

Maximize income by staying above increments of 10g

If you are at 35 gold, don’t go below 30. If you’re at 22, don’t go below 20

There are two exceptions to this rule.

You see a champion that you need to purchase for an upgrade.

-If your comp requires you to mass Vaynes, purchase that Vayne

-If you’ve almost completed a synergy (for example, you have 3 wilds) and you see a Gnar, buy that Gnar

The game is almost over

-If you know you’ll lose the game if you lose 2–3 more fights, spend all your gold and try to upgrade your army as best as possible

If you follow these two basic rules, you will either build up your 50g bank very quickly, or you must have rolled really well and built up a very strong army. Once you get to that 50g, you’ll have at least 10 gold to spend every round.
