Teamfight Tactics (TFT): 3-star champion benefits, how much better is it?

I’ve been playing TFT for months now. And the other day I asked myself a pretty dumb question for someone that has been playing for months — what does an upgraded unit actually give me?

I know the unit looks more shiny with a silver or gold border, but am I getting one benefit, do I get more armor, a little of everything? What’s the benefit?

Well, after investigating. You get 3 different benefits.

1. Health
2. Damage Per Second
3. Damage

And here’s what you don’t get.

1. Armor
2. MMR
3. Increased Range

As for the 3 benefits mentioned. Going from 1 to a 2-star champion will effectively double all three benefits. Yes, double the stats. And then going from a level 2-star champ to a level 3-star champ will double all three benefits again.

Example from 1-star unit to 3-star:

Blitz:

Health: 650 -> 1,170 -> 2,340

DPS: 25 -> 45 -> 90

Damage: 50 -> 90 -> 180

There you have it! That’s all you need to know about the benefits of the different star champions in Teamfight Tactics!
