Teamfight Tactics’ “Into the Arcane” set might have hit the scene just last week, but, true to its mystical roots, it’s got more surprises up its sleeve. As a nod to the show’s grand finale, the developers have treated fans to a new video announcement. Surprise, surprise—some of Arcane’s pivotal characters will be making their way to the game next week. Just a heads-up: if you haven’t wrapped up the show yet, you might want to watch out for spoilers in this video.
For those who’ve been diving into TFT’s 13th set and wondering why fan-favorites like Viktor and Warwick slipped through the cracks, worry no more. This latest update has you covered. In the announcement, Shawn Elizabeth Main, the lead designer for set 13, unveiled that Viktor, Mel, and Warwick will be joining “Into the Arcane” as the brand-new 6-cost units.
Here’s the scoop: TFT is introducing 6-cost units for the very first time, and it seems like they’re packing a punch worthy of their steep price. The video offers a sneak peek into the champions’ abilities—all in their ultimate forms from Arcane’s final act. They’re true game-changers, potentially shaking up the entire course of a TFT match. But don’t get too comfortable; these units will be quite elusive, appearing only towards the end of a game. Even then, spotting them might be a rare treat.
The announcement video shares more than just exciting character reveals. It also dives into the team’s approach to balancing the set’s release while keeping some of its most thrilling units under wraps. Plus, there’s some insight into how these new champions were crafted to match their powerful and dazzling depictions from the show.
So, when can you expect to see these 6-cost powerhouses in action? Mark your calendars for the next patch update on December 5, when they officially join Teamfight Tactics.
