Where do you position Blitzcrank in Teamfight Tactics (TFT)?

Positioning is a vital aspect of playing Teamfigt Tactics (TFT), and few units are as reliant on great positioning as Blitzcrank. As the bot that loves to snatch and bash your enemies’ best units, Blitz has to be precariously placed. After all, he is the ultimate unit for ruining your foes’ positioning. But how do you know how to do that when everyone positions differently each game? Well, here’s a quick guide on how to use your Blitz to the best of his abilities.

How does Blitz work?

The first step to positioning Blitz is understanding exactly how he works. When you place Blitzcrank on a tile, he grabs the unit furthest away from him the second combat starts. If you put your Blitz in the back corners of your board, you may think that always means the character in the corresponding far corner on your enemy’s side, but that’s not true. This isn’t like Zephyr where it picks up the enemy in the exact opposite tile of yours (or the closest one to it). If you put Blitz in the far corner and their entire team is right across from you but there’s a Sejuani placed on the furthest tile in the front row, you’ll be pulling the Sejuani. Instead, keep an eye on how your enemies are positioning and try to get Blitz as far away as possible from the units you’d prefer to pull.

Even that can get wonky sometimes, though. Here are some exceptions that might ruin your plans that you should know about:

Assassins jumping forward are not pulled before they jump; do not target them.Shroud of Stillness will delay your Blitz pull (which could benefit you if the carry stays in the back but their protection moves forward, but it can also cause you a lot of trouble).Sometimes, when targeting the champion on the bottom left corner of the board, the Read more on gamepur.com
