Charmed, I'm Sure: A New Game Mechanic

Set 12 introduces a game-changing feature called "charms." These special items appear in the champion shop and vary in cost from 0 to 20 gold. The price tag reflects their power level—for instance, Phantom Gloves are available for one round at a cost. Players can buy a new charm each round, adding a fresh layer of strategy as they adapt to dynamic battlegrounds. Also there's a whole new slew of Augments.

Fresh Faces And Fearsome Powers

New champions make their debut in this set. Notable additions include

  • Norra, a high-cost unit who brings along Yuumi with a summoning trait

Old And New Traits Shake Things Up

Champions without specific trait bonuses are back, like the versatile Wukong, adding unpredictability to team compositions.

Set 12, Magic N' Mayhem, promises to bring a mix of enchantment and chaos to Team Fight Tactics, ensuring that both newcomers and seasoned tacticians have thrilling challenges ahead. As the release date approaches, the anticipation builds—get ready to charm your opponents in entirely new ways!
