Set 11 is almost upon us! The developers of auto-battler Teamfight Tactics took part in the dev video & shared a gameplay overview of Inkborn Fables on the official site. Join Riot Bluecove and Slove as they walk you through the update in the video above.
Inkborn Fables brings a completely new roster of champions, including two Runeterra firsts with Alune and Kobuku, a TFT original Yordle making their joyous debut in the League universe. The new set kicks off alongside patch 14.6 on March 20.
The set introduces new mechanic: Encounters. Brushes with fate and mythical creatures are inevitable, and Encounters bring that theme to life. At various points in each game, you will have a chance to run into legendary beings, which could be just for fun or even game-ending. Over the course of the set, you will have a chance of running into over 70 unique encounters, from Sett to Kayn.
Alune, Aphelios’ twin sister, is making an appearance of her own. Lunari squad, assemble! Another new character arriving in the game is the new tanky yordle, joining Poppy’s efforts of protecting your team.
The traits featured in Inkborn Fables include:
- Fortune. Every time you lose a fight, gain Fortune, and when you win, convert that Fortune to rewards. The more fights in a row you lose, the more Fortune you get each fight.
- Exalted. Your entire team gains bonus damage based on your level. After combat, Exalted units will store XP in a Soul Core, which you can sell to claim XP.
- Heavenly. Heavenly units grant a unique stat to your team depending on which ones are on your team.
- Umbral. Activating Umbral makes the moon illuminate certain hexes, shielding units placed in them at the start of combat. Umbral units basking in the moonlight will also execute low Health enemies. Hit Umbral 6 to illuminate the entire board, and Umbral 8 to have a chance for Umbral executions to drop loot.
- Porcelain. When the teapot starts whistling, Porcelain units gain attack speed and become more durable.
- Storyweaver. It is a version of a summon trait where you build your own story around a central character: Kayle.
- Fated. The trait allows you to drop one Fated unit over another to form a pair and unlock a Fated Bonus.
