Riftbeast is a unique scaling trait in TFT Set 18 that lets you strengthen powerful monsters throughout the game. By obtaining an Alpha Mark, you can grant a Riftbeast its own unique Buff, while higher trait breakpoints unlock stronger Riftbeasts, special Riftbeast shops, and additional combat bonuses. The Riftbeast roster includes Ancient Sentinel, Brambleback, Cinderling, Gromp, Krug, Murkwolf, Pebbles, Raptor, Scuttlecrab, and The Elder Dragon, each offering different strengths for your composition.
When building a Riftbeast team, focus on reaching key trait breakpoints as early as possible and choose the Alpha Mark that best complements your carry and frontline. As the game progresses, Riftbeasts become increasingly powerful, allowing the trait to scale exceptionally well into the late game. In this guide, you’ll find the best Riftbeast team comps, champion synergies, item recommendations, Augments, positioning tips, and strategies for every stage of the game.

Alternatively, you can use one or more Riftbeast Emblems to reach the final breakpoint more easily. With the right combination of champions and Emblems, you’ll unlock the powerful 10 Riftbeast bonus: +X maximum team size.

How to Play Riftbeast in TFT Set 18
Play your strongest Riftbeast units early to activate 3 Riftbeast and secure an Alpha Mark as soon as possible. Prioritize placing the Alpha Mark on your main carry, then push to 5 Riftbeast to take advantage of the special Riftbeast shops for easier upgrades. In the late game, aim for 7 Riftbeast, where your monsters continuously gain stats during combat, making them extremely powerful in extended fights. If you find The Elder Dragon and a Riftbeast Emblem, you can chase 10 Riftbeast for the maximum team size bonus and one of the strongest late-game boards in Set 18.
