Why You're Not Hitting Your 3 Stars

Gameplay is from September 19th Patch 18.2B, EMEA Tacticians Trials. (Recorded on Sep 21st) Rank: https://tactics.tools/player/euw/gareed My Coaching Website: https://www.tft-coaching.com/ In this coaching session with Gareed, we focus on one of the most important fundamentals for consistently succeeding with reroll compositions: How to Actually Hit Your 3-Stars. We jump straight into VOD review from the Tactician’s Trials tournament and break down how small economy decisions can completely change whether you hit your upgrades on time. When playing reroll, it’s easy to focus on the actual rolldown—but a lot of games are decided much earlier by how efficiently you manage your gold throughout Stage 3. The main focus of this session is eliminating wasted gold. We look at when gold should be spent, when it needs to be preserved, which units are actually worth holding, and how seemingly small economic mistakes can leave you several rolls behind when it matters most. We also talk about recognizing when you can afford to greed, when your board requires investment, and how to maximize the number of meaningful shops you see without sacrificing too much HP or tempo. Instead of treating reroll as simply “save to 50 and roll,” we break down the decisions that determine how much gold you actually have available to find your 3-stars. Using real tournament games makes these decisions especially important: every gold matters, and inefficient decisions compound quickly when the lobby is strong. 🧠 In this video, we cover: • How to consistently hit your 3-star units • Maximizing your economy during Stage 3 • Why Stage 3 is so important for reroll compositions • Identifying where gold is being unnecessarily wasted • When to hold units versus preserving an econ interval • How much gold you can actually afford to spend • Optimizing your reroll timing • Creating more rolls for yourself later in the game • Balancing HP, board strength, and economy • Knowing when you need to stabilize • Recognizing when you can greed your economy • How small economic mistakes compound over multiple stages • Improving decision-making in tournament games • Reviewing real Tactician’s Trials gameplay • Building better reroll fundamentals 🎯 This video will help you: • Hit your 3-stars more consistently • Stop wasting gold during Stage 3 • Understand where your reroll economy is disappearing • Get more value out of every gold you earn • Improve your rolldown timing • Make better decisions about holding units • Preserve economy without unnecessarily sacrificing your board • Recognize when spending gold is actually correct • Build stronger reroll fundamentals • Become more consistent in competitive TFT games 🧠 Want Personalized Coaching?
