The Big Shot trait in Teamfight Tactics Set 10, known as Remix Rumble, empowers ranged carry champions with significant attack damage boosts that spike after ability casts. This trait shines in late-game compositions, turning units into high-damage dealers capable of shredding enemy frontlines and backlines alike.
Understanding the Big Shot Trait Mechanics
Big Shot units receive a base increase to their attack damage, which dramatically amplifies for three seconds following their ability activation. This temporary power surge encourages strategic timing of spells to maximize output during critical teamfight moments.
Breakdowns by breakpoint:
- 2 Big Shots: 10% AD baseline, rising to 35-40% post-cast.
- 4 Big Shots: 15-20% AD baseline, surging to 60-70% after casting.
- 6 Big Shots: 25-40% AD baseline, peaking at 100-150% post-ability.
These scaling bonuses make Big Shot ideal for compositions focused on sustained damage, especially when paired with traits that enhance attack speed or crit chance. The trait’s strength lies in its synergy with headliners, who often provide additional Big Shot units or augmented effects.
Key Big Shot Champions and Abilities
Set 10 features a roster of Big Shot champions spanning various costs and origins, each bringing unique abilities that complement the trait’s damage amplification.
| Champion | Cost | Origin | Ability Summary | Headliner Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corki | 1 | 8-bit / Blown to 8 Bits | Deals 160/240/360 physical damage to target and adjacent foes, applying Wound for 5s (33% healing reduction). | +20% damage |
| Kai’Sa | 2 | K/DA | Dashes up to 2 hexes and fires a missile for 200/299/461 physical damage. | +25% damage, +2 range, farther dash |
| Miss Fortune | 3 | Jazz | Deals 162/243/377 to target and 99/149/223 to enemy behind; 40% AS for 4s if kills occur. | +20% damage |
| Ezreal | 4 | Heartsteel | Blinks away, deals 245/368/1103 physical; every 3rd cast hits line for 305/457/1370. | +15% damage |
| Jhin | 5 | Maestro | Attacks generate mana; with 4 rifles, conducts volleys dealing 61/94/843 physical (200% on 4th). | +5% AD, combat start rifle |

Top Compositions Featuring Big Shot
Big Shot thrives in vertical synergies, often combined with frontline tanks and economic augments for smooth power spikes.
Heartsteel Big Shot
This high-cap comp leverages Heartsteel’s cashout mechanics alongside 4-6 Big Shots. Core frontline: Thresh, Yorick, Sett, Illaoi for tankiness. Backline carries: Ezreal or Jhin as headliner, supported by Miss Fortune and Kai’Sa.
- Early game: 2 Big Shot with Corki/Kai’Sa, transition to 4.
- Mid game: Add Heartsteel units, econ augments like Hedge Fund.

Jazz Big Shot Variant
Incorporate Jazz for attack speed buffs. Miss Fortune shines here with Double Time ability chaining kills into AS ramps. Pair with Big Shot emblem for flexibility if headliner isn’t Big Shot.
Other Synergies: Bruiser and Maestro
Bruiser adds max HP (20-80% at breakpoints) to frontline. Maestro Jhin converts AS to AD uniquely, perfect for Big Shot spikes. Augments like Rich Get Richer amplify carries.
Optimal Itemization for Big Shot Carries
Items should prioritize AD, AS, and crit to synergize with post-cast bonuses.
| Champion | Best-in-Slot Items | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Ezreal | Last Whisper, Giant Slayer, Infinity Edge | Penetration and crit scale with blinks and line casts. |
| Jhin | Red Buff, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Runaan’s Hurricane | Enhances fixed attack rhythm and rifle volleys. |
| Miss Fortune | Deathblade, Bloodthirster, Quicksilver | AS ramp and sustain for multi-target damage. |
| Frontline (Sett/Thresh) | Warmog’s, Dragon’s Claw, Gargoyle Stoneplate | Tankiness to protect carries. |
Prioritize headliner items early; use emblems for trait forcing.
