Looking to dominate the lobby with the new 6 Voyager TFT Comp Set 17? The Voyager trait is sweeping the meta with its incredible shield for frontline tanks and massive damage amp for backline carries. However, since the trait natively features only 5 champions—Meepsie, Pyke, Aurora, Karma, and The Mighty Mech—reaching the ultimate 6-Voyager vertical milestone requires a specific strategy.
In this ultimate Voyager TFT build guide, we will show you exactly how to get 6 Voyager, the best items for your carries, and a step-by-step leveling strategy to secure an easy Top 1!
How to get 6 Voyager in TFT Set 17
To activate the maximum vertical milestone of 6 Voyager TFT, you need a total of 6 Voyager units on your board. However, since the trait natively features only 5 Voyager champions (Meepsie, Pyke, Aurora, Karma, and The Mighty Mech), reaching this ultimate power spike requires 1 Voyager Emblem.
Here are the exact ways you can obtain the required Voyager Emblem during a match:
- Item Crafting: Combine a Spatula with a Needlessly Large Rod (or the equivalent component depending on the seasonal mechanic) to forge a Voyager Emblem.
- Augment Selections: Look out for Augments like Voyager Crest, Voyager Crown, or Tome of Traits at stages 2-1, 3-2, or 4-2.
- Carousel & Loot: Secure a pre-made Emblem from late-game Carousel rounds or special loot drops.
Once you secure the Voyager Emblem, place it on a high-value frontline champion (such as a strong Vanguard or Bruiser). This grants them a massive 700+ shield at the start of combat, making your frontline completely unkillable while your backline Karma shreds the enemy team.
Voyager TFT Comps
4 Voyager + 3 Anima.
Pros: Unkillable frontline with massive shields from the 6-Voyager vertical milestone. Strong, consistent area-of-effect (AoE) magic damage provided by Karma and Aurora in the backline.
Cons: Damage heavily relies on Karma, making the comp lack burst if she gets eliminated early. Vulnerable to enemy anti-heal items (Sunfire Cape, Morellonomicon) that counter high-sustain shields.

Voyager TFT Step-by-Step Leveling Strategy
This team comp relies heavily on 4-cost carries (Karma and The Mighty Mech). Therefore, executing a Fast 8 strategy is the most effective way to secure your units and hit your power spikes.
Stage 2: Early Game (Levels 4 and 5)
- Level 4 (Stage 2-1): Push to Level 4 early if you have a strong opener to maintain a win streak. Build around low-cost Voyager units like Meepsie and Pyke, using a Vanguard or Bruiser frontline to hold tank items.
- Level 5 (Stage 2-5): Add a complementary trait unit (such as a Shepherd or Chrono) to boost your board strength.
- Economy Tip: Do not roll. Save your gold to stay above 50 interest.
Stage 3: Mid Game (Levels 6 and 7)
- Level 6 (Stage 3-2): Level up naturally and add Aurora to stabilize your mid-game magic damage. Transfer your AP items to her temporarily if you do not have a strong item holder.
- Level 7 (Stage 3-5 or 4-1): Push to Level 7 to increase your odds of finding 4-cost units. If your health bar is low (below 50 HP), roll slightly to find at least one copy of Karma or The Mighty Mech to stabilize. Otherwise, save all your gold for Level 8.
Stage 4 and Beyond: Late Game (Levels 8 and 9)
- Level 8 (Stage 4-2): This is your main power spike. Push to Level 8 and roll down aggressively to find Karma, The Mighty Mech, and high-tier frontline units like Fiora or Illaoi.
- Activating 6 Voyager: Equip your Voyager Emblem on a strong frontline tank to fully unlock the 6-Voyager trait bonus.
- Level 9 (End Game): Once your entire Level 8 board is fully upgraded to 2-star status, save gold to push for Level 9. Add legendary 5-cost units like Milio, Mordekaiser, or Viktor to cap your board power and secure a Top 1 victory.
