🔍 What is the BoomBots Vertical Comp?

TFT Set 14 BoomBots Vertical Comp Guide
A “Vertical Comp” focuses on maxing out a single trait—in this case, BoomBots. At 6+ BoomBots, your units explode after taking or dealing a certain number of hits, dealing massive AoE magic damage.

The challenge? You’ll often need a BoomBot Emblem or Augment to reach 6.

💣 Why Play BoomBots Vertical in Set 14?

Pros

✔ Insane AoE damage – Wipe clumped enemy boards
✔ AP and AD flexibility – Vex and Urgot cover all damage types
✔ Top 1 potential – When high-rolled, it’s nearly unbeatable

Cons

❌ High-roll dependent – Needs BoomBot Emblem or trait-boosting Augments
❌ Early game struggles – Weak without frontline or tempo
❌ Assassin vulnerability – Poor positioning = fast 8th place

📈 Early, Mid & Late Game Strategy

Stage 2–4 (Early Game – Don’t Int Your HP!)

  • Use Kog’Maw + Skarner as your early BoomBot core

  • Add frontline: Blitzcrank, Vi, or other Bruisers

  • Hold core items for Vex/Urgot—don’t slam unless stabilizing

  • Focus on econ: Try to hit 50 gold ASAP

Stage 3–5 (Mid Game – Stabilize or Die Trying)

  • Level to 7 by 3-5 if needed

  • Add Cho’Gath, Vex, and 4 BoomBots

  • If needed, run Executioner or Bruiser splash

  • Never drop below 30g unless you’re one loss from elimination

Stage 5+ (Late Game – Go Big or Go 8th)

  • Rush Level 9 for full 6 BoomBots board

  • Add legendaries like Jinx or Lissandra for extra power

  • Scout and position perfectly (see next section)

🧭 Positioning Tricks to Win More Fights

  • Vex → 2nd row, slightly off-center → Maximize AoE, avoid early aggro

  • Urgot → On a flank → Snipes enemy backline or key carries

  • Cho’Gath → Center frontline → Draw aggro and activate BoomBot chain

  • Spread your BoomBots → Avoid getting clumped for AoE damage

📌 Scout for Assassins – Move Vex last-second if needed

😬 No BoomBot Emblem? Here's How to Pivot

Didn’t hit BoomBot Emblem or trait-boosting Augments?

Try these pivots:

🧩 Option 1: 4 BoomBots + Executioner

  • Add Viego and a second Executioner unit

  • Keep Urgot as main carry

  • Supplement with Vex + AP items for splash damage

🧩 Option 2: Slayer Splash

  • If you find Slayer Augment, pivot into Urgot + AD frontline

  • Add Morgana or Lissandra for Divinicorp shields and CC

🎯 Play for Top 4 instead of forcing 1st

💡 Final Tips for BoomBot Success

✔ Only force this comp with BoomBot Emblem or Crown Augment
✔ Blue Buff on Vex is non-negotiable
✔ Scout often, especially for threats like Assassins or Hooks
✔ If you can’t hit 6 BoomBots, stabilize at 4 and pivot to Executioner/Slayer hybrid

🎆 Ready to Explode the Lobby?

The BoomBots Vertical comp is high-variance but insanely satisfying when it works. If you high-roll into Emblem or Crown, and hit Level 9 with Vex & Urgot? Enjoy your fireworks show.
