Spirit Blossom Teemo
View on Wiki
Excellent (9/10)
Epic Relics
High Investment Required
Spirit Blossom Teemo is highly praised for his unique mill-based playstyle. While players disagree about his effectiveness at lower star levels without his signature relic, he is definitively considered a top-tier threat at higher constellations, capable of clearing the most difficult 10-star adventures.
Optimal Trap Engine
Essential for his core gameplan, converting his damage into massive puffcap generation.
Plants Flashbomb Traps at the start of the game, adding another layer of passive damage and deck pressure.
Synergizes perfectly with his trap mechanics, providing deck milling and stat boosts.
Strategy
This premium build maximizes Spirit Blossom Teemo's ability to flood the opponent's deck with traps. Mischiefmaker's Flute is considered mandatory for his success, converting his damage into massive puffcap generation.
Hextech Rifle complements this by planting Flashbomb Traps at the start of the game, adding another layer of passive damage and deck pressure.
Harmless Scarecrow ensures consistent trap activation and provides a strong late-game finisher by empowering allies with Overwhelm once the enemy deck is sufficiently thinned.
Explosive Harvest
- The core engine for puffcap generation.
- Provides additional trap triggers and board control.
Deals damage to all units on play, triggering Mischiefmaker's Flute multiple times for explosive puffcap planting.
Strategy
This build leverages Wicked Harvest's play effect to instantly trigger Mischiefmaker's Flute across the entire board.
This combination clears early enemy boards while planting a massive number of puffcaps immediately upon summoning Spirit Blossom Teemo.
It often deals overwhelming damage by turn one or two, compensating for slower early-game tempo.
Infinite Deathless Loop
Ensures Teemo inherits and retains keywords like Deathless from dying units.
Provides consistent spell mana on subsequent turns to fuel cloning spells.
Acts as a safeguard and provides an additional revive mechanic.
Strategy
Designed to synergize with the 'Deathless' power (often acquired from Mordekaiser's common power), this build creates an infinite loop of Teemos.
Voidborne Carapace ensures the unit always retains Deathless, allowing you to repeatedly sacrifice and revive Teemo to permanently stun enemies and flood the board.
Archangel's Staff ensures you have the spell mana on subsequent turns to fuel cloning spells.
Zoe Specialized Control
Zoe Specialized
- The core engine for puffcap generation.
- Provides additional trap triggers and board control.
Provides consistent spell generation and cost reduction, accelerating his level-up condition.
Strategy
Tailored for the 10-star Zoe adventure, this build focuses on consistent spell generation and cost reduction.
Searing Brilliance accelerates his level-up condition and maintains spell momentum, which is critical against Zoe's Tough Nexus that heavily counters standard puffcap damage.
This setup allows you to brute-force the shroom count or pivot to winning via powerful stolen cards and board control.
Other Relic Options
Excellent for cheating Teemo out early, especially if you have his 4-star upgrade which provides a free 0-cost unit as discard fodder.
Doubles his spells in the late game, accelerating the mill condition in high-star adventures.
Synergizes well with his created cards to quickly trigger Augment and scale his stats.
Allows Teemo to consume allies on a full board, scaling his stats significantly.
Considered highly effective for specific high-difficulty adventures like Zoe to fish for necessary powers.
Spirit Blossom Teemo is highly dependent on Mischiefmaker's Flute. If you do not have it, focus on relics that increase his survivability, board clear potential, or spellcasting capabilities.
Constellation
Spirit Blossom Teemo's constellation upgrades significantly enhance his power and consistency. While he can function at lower stars, these upgrades transform him into a top-tier threat capable of clearing the hardest content.

Terrify effects are central to his early game control, though players note he can feel weak without further investment.
Pilfered Plans

Provides a free 0-cost unit and allows him to steal powerful enemy champions, offering immense utility and synergy with relics like Disciple of Shadows.

This Nova upgrade is considered exceptionally strong, extending his effects to Terrify and multiplying his skill damage, making him a definitive powerhouse.
Gameplay Tips
- Prioritize the Puffcap Proliferation Power
This power is crucial for consistency, replanting puffcaps whenever the enemy Nexus takes damage to create a self-sustaining loop of trap generation.
- Counter Fiora with Harmless Scarecrow
In the Fiora adventure, equipping Harmless Scarecrow is an excellent tech choice, as Fiora starts directly within the relic's activation range, allowing you to immediately neutralize her.
- Navigate the Zoe Adventure Carefully
The 'Tough' Nexus and units in the 10-star Zoe adventure heavily counter standard puffcap damage. Rely on Mischiefmaker's Flute to brute-force the shroom count, or focus on winning via powerful stolen cards and board control.
- Exploit the Twisted Fate Node
Against the Twisted Fate node in the Zoe adventure, Teemo's mushroom damage counts towards TF's power to draw cards. This allows you to rapidly deck him out, often killing his Nexus with shrooms before he runs out of cards.
- Bypass Cost-Increase Modifiers
Spirit Blossom Teemo is uniquely positioned to ignore modifiers that increase the cost of created cards (like the Misbegotten weekly), as his mushroom discounts naturally offset the penalty.
- Utilize Stress Defense
His base deck includes Stress Defense, an incredible tool for neutralizing massive enemy threats like Baron Nashor by setting their stats to small values like 1/6.
- Avoid Health Buffs for Self-Kill Combos
Be cautious when acquiring powers like Thief's Gloves that grant passive health buffs. Increasing Teemo's health can inadvertently disrupt combos that rely on him dying easily, such as Voidborne Carapace loops or Wicked Harvest board clears.
