Nitro Reroll is Back – Full TFT Patch 14.2 Guide to Dominate Early Game

Looking to pop off early and snowball through the mid-game? Nitro Reroll is one of the hottest comps in TFT Patch 14.2, and it's perfect if you love fast-paced chaos, shiny 3-star units, and good ol' Jinx carry shenanigans. In this guide, we’ll break down how to pilot the comp, what items to build, and when to go all-in. Let’s get into it!


๐Ÿ”ฅ What is Nitro Reroll in TFT Set 14?

Nitro Reroll is a low-cost reroll comp that spikes hard early thanks to 1-cost and 2-cost units like Jinx, Vi, and Bard. You stay low level (usually 5 or 6), stack gold, and reroll until you hit your key champs at 3-stars, then ride the power spike into a juicy win streak.

Nitro as a trait gives bonus Attack Speed and movement speed when units cast, and that’s a perfect fit for Jinx and Bard—two champs who scale beautifully with fast spell cycling.


๐Ÿ’ช Core Units & Traits

To make Nitro Reroll work, you’ll want to hit these champions and traits as early as possible:

⭐ Core Champions:

  • Jinx (1-cost): Your main carry. 3-star Jinx shreds through enemy backlines.

  • Vi (1-cost): Tanky frontliner with a reliable cast and good traits.

  • Bard (1-cost): Adds bonus damage, mana gen, and makes a great secondary carry.

  • Pantheon (2-cost): Strong Initiator, good for frontline and synergy.

  • Gragas (1-cost): Budget frontline with Initiator and Brawler synergies.

Optional adds:

  • Ziggs, Kayle, or Riven for extra synergy or flex options.

๐Ÿงฌ Key Traits:

  • Nitro (3+) – Required. Buffs Jinx/Bard for fast casts and better DPS.

  • Mosher – Bonus attack speed and stacking power.

  • Initiator – Gives frontline utility and extra tankiness.

  • Executioner or Dazzler – If flexing into Bard or Kayle variants.


๐ŸŽฏ Best Headliners

The ideal Headliner is:

  • Jinx (Nitro or Mosher) – This turns her into a turbocharged machine.

  • Bard (Nitro) – Adds huge AoE value and lets you spike your midgame even faster.

๐Ÿ’ธ How to Play Nitro Reroll – Stage by Stage

๐Ÿ› ️ Early Game (Stage 2):

  • Pick up Jinx, Vi, Bard, and any early Nitro units.

  • Focus on building economy to 50g while maintaining decent board strength.

  • If you hit 2★ Jinx and Bard early, consider a Level 5 slowroll strategy.

๐Ÿ’ฃ Mid Game (Stage 3–4):

  • Slowroll at Level 5 or 6, depending on board state and gold.

  • Your goal: hit 3-star Jinx, Vi, Bard by Stage 4-1.

  • Once you stabilize, start building your frontline and scale into Nitro (5) if possible.

๐ŸŽฏ Late Game (Stage 5+):

  • If you're still strong and mostly 3-starred, look to push levels and cap your board.

  • If behind or contested, consider pivoting into Executioner Zed, Dynamo Miss Fortune, or Flex 4-costs with your leftover items.


๐Ÿ”ง Best Hacks for Nitro Reroll

Look out for these augments (aka Hacks) that turbocharge your comp:

  • Hype! – Free cast speed and extra hype = more wins.

  • Encore – More casts for your whole team.

  • Reckless Spending – Ideal for rerolling and buying XP.

  • Item Grab Bag – Helps round out your item pool.

  • Tiny Titans or Trade Sector – Let you eco harder or roll smarter.


๐Ÿ’ก When Should You Play Nitro Reroll?

  • You hit multiple Jinx/Bard/Vi copies early (2-1 to 2-5).

  • You get a strong Headliner for Jinx or Bard.

  • You’re offered great reroll augments or supportive items (Bow, Glove, Tear).

  • You’re uncontested or only sharing 1-costs with 1 other player.

Avoid this comp if you're already contested or if your item drops lean heavily toward tank/AP items without flexibility.


⚠️ Nitro Reroll Weaknesses

  • Falls off late against high-cost boards if you don’t hit 3★ early.

  • Struggles into heavy frontline unless you get Last Whisper or Executioner backup.

  • Can get punished by anti-carry positioning or strong AoE (e.g. Aatrox, Mordekaiser).


๐Ÿง  Bonus Tips & Community Links

  • Position Jinx center-left or center-right, and Vi/Pantheon front and center.

  • Protect Jinx from hooks with Gragas or extra tanks.

  • Always scout to see if someone else is forcing Nitro.
