Where TFT Academy is the better pick
- Its comps and tier lists are curated by Frodan, a coach, and Dishsoap, a two-time world champion, and updated daily.
- The overlay records your games and highlights the key rounds, so you can review the decisions that cost you placements.
- It’s free. Academy+ on Patreon, $2.99 to $9.99 a month, is optional and adds an ad-free site, Discord perks and early access to tools.
What NoxuTFT does differently
- A pool tracker: the copies left of every unit in your shop, so rolling for a 3-star is a decision, not a hope.
- Augment grades for the comp you are actually playing, not one rating for everyone.
- A board AI that names the comps you can still reach from what you hold, with add, keep and bench for each unit.
- Automation: auto-buy for your comp, auto-roll, auto-XP, auto-position and auto-accept — clicks over the game window, which Riot’s rules neither explicitly forbid nor allow.
- One installer for Windows 10 and 11, in 20 languages — and 1-on-1 coaching with a Master+ player if you want a person.
So which one?
If you want pro-curated comps and to review your own games, TFT Academy is excellent and free. If you want the overlay to count the pool, grade augments for your board and take over the clicks, that is NoxuTFT.
Questions
Is the TFT Academy overlay free?
The site says it is committed to staying free for everyone. Academy+, on Patreon from $2.99 to $9.99 a month, is optional support with perks such as an ad-free site and Discord roles.
Does the TFT Academy overlay automate anything?
It switches itself on when a game starts and captures your games for review, but its page lists no in-game automation such as auto-buy. NoxuTFT can buy, roll, level and position for you.
