Read on to learn how you can utilize this tip in your own ranked climb!
TFT Tip Tuesday: Thief's Gloves Remover/Selling unit technique
In this set, removing Thief's Gloves off a unit and putting it back on to the same unit or different unit does not change its items within the same planning phase before the next fight.
Checking Thief's Gloves items with bench unit and selling
You can buy a unit in your shop that you won’t play and put it on that unit to see what the items are. Then, you can put that TG on whatever unit on your board can best hold those items. This technique is shown in the video example above.
Using Remover/Golden Remover
Additionally, this mechanic works just as well with removers. Therefore, if you have item removers available or have not committed the item to a unit on your board. The best case scenario happens when you have a Golden Remover. This will allow you to continuously recycle your Thief's Gloves without having to sell useful units.
TFT Tip Tuesday: Who to put Thief's Gloves on
TG item holders are generally not your main tank or main damage dealer as you will want the best items always on those unit. They are usually bruiser-type units that can make the best of tank and damage items, preferably with both AD and AP scaling (melee units that deal a good amount of secondary damage).
Some of the most common and strong holders of TG this set :
Early Game
- Rek'Sai
- Aatrox
- Qiyana
Mid-Game
- Whatever secondary melee unit you are not eventually stacking items onto
Late Game
- Lee Sin
- Sylas
- Udyr
- Wukong
Ideally, put Thief's Gloves on units that you are temporarily part of your strongest board in the early and mid-game. That way, Thief's Gloves does not get stuck on a unit that you may want items on later or will be unable to sell later.
