TEAMFIGHT TACTICS: INTO THE ARCANE

Play past, present, and future stories of Arcane in the latest Teamfight Tactics set coming November 20, 2024

LOS ANGELES (November 10, 2024) – The world of Arcane once again manifests in the Convergence in
the latest game update for Teamfight Tactics, the world’s largest PC strategy game. Teamfight Tactics:
Into the Arcane will launch on PC and mobile on November 20, 2024 and will be free to play for all
players.

During the broadcast of the Magic n’ Mayhem Tactician’s Crown Finals, Riot Games showcased Into the
Arcane’s gameplay highlights such as the Set’s unique mechanic, Arcane-inspired traits, a refreshed
lineup of Augments, and brand new cosmetics.

Champions
The newest game update will come packed with a powerhouse selection of Champions for players to
build their dream teams. The roster features 11 TFT-exclusive units from the world of Arcane alongside
iconic champions from League of Legends. Players can look forward to the return of Silco, and the
introduction of fan-favorites like Powder, Violet, Vander, Sevika, Smeech, and more.

Traits
Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane introduces new traits that bring the action of Arcane directly into the
Convergence:

Enforcer: Start combat with shields and damage amplification. The highest health enemy units
become WANTED, granting Attack Speed boosts upon their defeat.
Chem-Baron: Gain Shimmer after each player combat, with increased rewards during a loss
streak. Collect Shimmer to access the Black Market and choose powerful Illegal Items that
enhance your Chem-Barons.
Academy: Sponsored items provide bonuses to max Health and Damage Amp, which are
doubled for Academy units.
Firelight: Firelights dash every 6 seconds, attacking with infinite range while healing based on
the damage they’ve taken.
Family: Family members provide mutual support, reducing max Mana and enhancing bonuses.

Set Mechanic: The Anomaly
Into the Arcane features an exciting new mechanic: The Anomaly. This unique gameplay feature allows
players to reroll bonuses to permanently transform one Champion on their board per game. 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
This set marks the largest Augment refresh since Set 7, introducing over 100 brand new Augments (not
including Trait and Emblem Augments).

Among the new Augments include the introduction of Team-Up Augments. This innovative twist on
TFT’s beloved Champion Augments allows players to field two specific champions together to unlock a
unique trait, paving the way for exciting new compositions and strategies centered around Arcane
character pairings.

A highlight of this new system is a nostalgic nod to Set 6, the previous Arcane set. When Vi and Jinx are
on the battlefield together, they activate the Sisters trait, enhancing each other’s abilities and powering
up through chain takedowns.

Cosmetics
Into the Arcane also brings a wealth of new cosmetics, including Chibis like Firelight Ekko, Arcane Vi,
Arcane Caitlin, and the Prestige Arcane Superfan Annie. Additionally, a new Last Drop-inspired Mythic
Arena will transform twice during gameplay, showcasing Jinx’s journey throughout Season 1 of Arcane.

The set will also debut Unbound Tacticians, a new cosmetic category that showcases champions at
their peak power and brings in their unique backstory. This new style is highlighted in every facet of the
Tactician, including their emotes, movement animations, and even their splash art. The inaugural
champion in this new style will be Arcane Jinx Unbound.

TFT Macao Open
The TFT Macao Open will bring the Set to life this December! The event will take place Dec 6-8 at the
Venetian Macao and will bring together 512 competitors in an open-bracket tournament. All attendees will
have opportunities to spectate the thrilling competition, participate in a variety of TFT side events, attend
TFT Dev Q&A panels, meet their favorite content creators, and immerse themselves in Arcane
activations.

The entire event will be decked out in Arcane branding from the moment attendees step into the main
hall. The decor, event-exclusive merchandise, food, and activities will all prominently showcase the show
and the set. Tickets and information can be found on the official website, tftmacaoopen.com.

Quote from Shawn Elizabeth Main, Lead Set Designer for Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane:
“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.”

Quote from Peter Whalen, Game Director for Teamfight Tactics:
“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.”

Quote from Michael Sherman, Director of TFT and 2XKO Esports:
“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.”
