TFT Boom Tier List

All 223 booms ranked S to C — and the reasoning behind the ranking, so you can disagree with it on the merits.

S tier

9 booms

Prestige finishers. Full animated sequences, released alongside a matching Little Legend, and never cheap.

A tier

56 booms

Mythic finishers and the ones built on a champion signature ability, which gives them an identity the generic effects lack.

Showing the 32 rarest of 56. Browse all booms.

B tier

54 booms

Legendary finishers — a clear idea and decent animation, without the production of the tier above.

Showing the 32 rarest of 54. Browse all booms.

C tier

104 booms

Stock effects and recolours. They do the job and cost the least.

How this list is built

Cosmetics don't affect gameplay, so there is no win rate to rank them by. What there is: production budget, which TFT's own rarity tracks closely. A Boom plays for about a second, so all it has is impact. The tiers follow how much went into that second: Prestige and Mythic finishers get full animation sequences with their own audio, while Standard ones reuse a stock effect in a new colour. That sets the starting tier.

On top of that sits a short, explicit list of promotions for the ones that do something no rival does. That part is an opinion — it is kept deliberately small and lives in one file, so it can be argued with rather than hidden behind 223 hand-assigned grades.

Two things this list does not weigh: price, because what something cost at release says nothing about how it looks now, and availability, because a boom you can't buy isn't a better boom.
