Get ready for an exciting ride with Teamfight Tactics' latest set! Packed with fresh mechanics, new legends, cool cosmetics, and more, there's a lot to be thrilled about. Among the new features is the addition of Encounters, where legendary beings can randomly spice up your game. These encounters aren't just for show – they might give you a fun bonus, or in some cases, completely shake up the game.
Meet Illaoi in one of these encounters, and she'll hook you up with a few extra rerolls. Cross paths with Sett, and your tacticians are in for a serious growth spurt, only to return to their normal size with no impact on gameplay – just for laughs! Some encounters, like the one with Cho'Gath, present game-changing choices. You can choose to feed the beast, sacrificing a shop slot for a reward, or play it safe and move on.
Get ready for a trip down memory lane with Tahm Kench, as he introduces a nostalgic fishing mini-game, a delightful treat for those who fondly remember the old fishing mini-games. On the flip side, the Kayn encounter is a bit ominous. If he pops up, he'll give you a heads-up about his return at a specific stage. When he does reappear, brace yourself, because he'll systematically pick off players from least to most health, potentially bringing the game to an end. Keep a close eye on your health bar!
Now, let's dive into the cool new traits of this set: Heavenly, Storyweaver, Fated, Inkshadow, Fortune, and Exalted. If you're one to switch up your strategy, the Exalted tacticians are your go-to, as they change with each game. The beloved Fortune trait makes a triumphant return, rewarding you with loot orbs for every win! Fated characters form powerful bonds, unlocking unique bonuses when paired together. The Storyweaver trait allows you to summon Kayle, controlling her hero's journey by reaching trait breakpoints. Inkshadow traits offer special items with unique bonuses, while Heavenly traits boost your team with unique bonuses, scaling with their star level.
This set brings the excitement of new 5-cost units! Hwei, with the Artist trait, lets you duplicate your current team, perfect for strengthening your lineup. The dynamic duo Xayah and Rakan join the field, each taking their place based on their positioning. Sett is back, now a Fated/Umbral Warden, showcasing his signature slam that deals damage based on his target's max health. Irelia dazzles as a ranged carry, unleashing blades that seek out and punish the lowest health enemies. Wukong, the Great Heavenly Sage, comes with a powerful combo and a Heavenly bonus that boosts your team's attack speed. And there's more – Wukong magically extends his staff to hit more enemies, making him a favorite melee Attack Damage carry.
Excitingly, two new champs are making their debut! Alune, Aphelios's twin sister, steps onto the battlefield as a 3-cost Umbral Invoker, bringing her moonlight powers to unleash blasts on entire rows of enemies. She even boosts her row's attack speed. For the first time in TFT and the world of Runeterra, meet Kobuko, the Joyous Paw, a never-before-seen Yordle martial artist. As a 1-cost tanky Fortune Bruiser in Inkborn Fables, Kobuko introduces a unique health-stacking mechanic that grows each time you gain interest, making his spell's damage scale with his total health. Get ready for some fresh and thrilling additions to your TFT experience!
