This Defender Emblem page is built from real ranked Teamfight Tactics matches. Ladder games are sampled across regions and ranks, read, and filtered to the current set and patch. The item summary, the champions that build Defender Emblem, and the comps shown all come from those games.

What this page shows

The summary at the top shows how boards holding Defender Emblem perform, with the average placement, top 4 rate, win rate, and how often the item is built. Below it you see the champions that use Defender Emblem the most, plus the strongest comps and popular items of the current set for context.

This Defender Emblem data is a snapshot of the current meta and shifts with patches and balance changes. The best holder depends on your board and the components you find, so use it as a guide.
