Champions
A powerful selection of Champions will be available in the most recent game update, allowing players to assemble their ideal teams. Alongside legendary League of Legends champions, the roster includes 11 TFT-exclusive units from the Arcane universe. In addition to the return of Silco, players may anticipate the arrival of beloved characters like Powder, Violet, Vander, Sevika, Smeech, and others.
Traits
Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane presents fresh characteristics that bring Arcane action straight to the Convergence:
- Enforcer: Use damage amplification and shields to begin combat. When defeated, enemy units with the highest health become WANTED and increase Attack Speed.
- Chem-Baron: Get more awards during a losing streak, and get more shimmer after every player battle. To gain entry to the Black Market and select potent illegal items that improve your Chem-Barons, collect shimmer.
- Academy: The maximum Health and Damage Amp boosts from sponsored items are quadrupled for Academy units.
- Firelight: Firelights attack with infinite range and heal according to the damage they’ve taken. They dash after six seconds
- Family: Members of the same family support one another, lowering maximum Mana and increasing bonuses.
Set Mechanic: The Anomaly
The Anomaly is a fascinating new mechanic in Into the Arcane. Players can permanently alter one Champion on their board per game by rerolling bonuses thanks to this special gaming feature. Some Anomaly options offer general power, tankiness, or utility, while others will have a more specialized, unique effect for the Champion.
Players will encounter the Anomaly at stage 4-6, giving them a very important choice to make for their endgame. With over 50 Anomaly effects available on release, players will be faced with thousands of potential game-changing decisions.
Augments
With nearly 100 brand-new Augments (excluding Trait and Emblem Augments), this set represents the biggest Augment refresh since Set 7.
The launch of Team-Up Augments is one of the new Augments. Players can field two specified champions together to unlock a unique characteristic with this creative take on TFT’s well-loved Champion Augments. This opens the door for intriguing new compositions and strategies that revolve around Arcane character pairings.
This new system’s nostalgic homage to Set 6, the former Arcane set, is one of its highlights. The Sisters trait is activated when Vi and Jinx are on the battlefield together, boosting each other’s skills and increasing their power through chain takedowns.
Cosmetics
Numerous new cosmetics are also included in Into the Arcane, such as the Prestige Arcane Superfan Annie, Arcane Vi, Arcane Caitlin, and Chibis like Firelight Ekko. Furthermore, throughout gameplay, a brand-new Mythic Arena inspired by Last Drop will change twice, illustrating Jinx’s development throughout Season 1 of Arcane.
Unbound Tacticians, a brand-new cosmetic category that highlights champions at the height of their abilities and introduces their distinct backstories, will also make its premiere on the set. Every aspect of the Tactician, including their splash art, movement animations, and emotes, emphasizes this new aesthetic. In this new style, Arcane Jinx Unbound will be the first champion.
TFT Macao Open
This December, the Set will come to life at the TFT Macao Open! The event, which will be held at the Venetian Macao from December 6–8, will include an open-bracket tournament with 512 contestants. Attendees will have the chance to watch the exciting competition, take part in a number of TFT side events, attend Q&A sessions with TFT Devs, interact with their favorite content creators, and experience Arcane activations.
As soon as guests enter the main hall, the entire event will be dressed out in Arcane branding. The show and the set will be prominently displayed in the cuisine, activities, event-only items, and décor. Information and tickets are available on tftmacaoopen.com, the official website.
Shawn Elizabeth Main, Lead Set Designer for Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane stated, “From the beginning, our goal was to deliver a fresh and immersive experience for players, blending strategic gameplay with the rich storytelling of Arcane. Players now have the tools to experiment and tinker with their dream comps, creating scenarios never before seen in the world of Arcane.”
Peter Whalen, Game Director for Teamfight Tactics stated, “We’re so thrilled for TFT and Arcane fans to experience Into the Arcane. The team pored over every facet of this set to make sure we captured the essence of the show for players who want to create their own versions of the story in each and every game. No two stories will be the same, and we can’t wait to see what players will cook up.”
Michael Sherman, Director of TFT and 2XKO Esports stated, “We worked hand-in-hand with teams across TFT, Arcane, and esports to make sure that players and fans would have a truly immersive Arcane experience at the event. The competition will be played on the new set just weeks after launch and attendees will be able to enjoy Arcane-themed goods and activations. The biggest TFT community and competitive event of the year will be a true celebration of Arcane.”
The objective of the eight-player free-for-all strategy game TFT is to defeat the seven other players in a match by arranging League of Legends champions and other objects in various ways. Players strategically position an army of characters on a grid-shaped game board for a last-player-standing automated war in this top-ranked auto battler game. By offering a deep and entertaining chess-like gameplay experience for players of all skill levels across various platforms, TFT has been the leading challenger in the genre since its 2019 premiere.
