On Twisted Fate, you always maximize the Q first, then the W and finally the E. Up to level 13, every single level-up for TF is extremely valuable, as five points in the W make you extremely strong – your gold card then stuns enemies for a full 2 seconds.

When you use the W, the cards always rotate in the order blue → red → gold → blue. However, the color of the first card is random. When you activate the W, the first card is displayed for a very brief moment and you can select it directly if you react quickly enough. However, this mechanic is more suitable for experienced TF players, as you need to know exactly which card you need and react quickly at the right moment. If you can’t do this straight away, it’s not a problem – this technique just allows you to get a little more out of the ability, and Twisted Fate remains viable without it.

Another tip is to prepare your E on minions before a fight to achieve maximum burst damage. Because of the E, you should generally make sure to incorporate autoattacks into your combos and not just rely on your abilities. It is also interesting to note that locking a card with the W works like an autoattack reset. This means you can rotate a card, perform an autoattack and then lock in the W, allowing it to be thrown directly at the opponent.

Also note that the blue card deals by far the most damage, while the gold card deals the least damage. If the stun is not so important to you at the moment, you should therefore use the blue or red card to deal more damage.
