TFT SET 13: INTO THE ARCANE

COMING OUT ON PBE 11/13 WEDNESDAY, POTENTIALLY EARLIER

OFFICIAL RELEASE: NOV 20

HERE IS A THREAD OF NEW TRAITS + CHAMPS 🧵 ACADEMY

The Academy sponsors 3 items each game. Copies of sponsored items grant bonus max Health and Damage Amp. Academy units holding sponsored items gain double the amount, plus an additional 5% Health and Damage Amp.

Just went 2nd in Tacticians Cup #2, here are the FOUR main comps I played to get that result. None of these comps need spats or conditional augments to play. I will be writing my thoughts on these comps as well as a flowchart near the end of the thread.

Let's dive in! 1. Faerie Kalista

This one is no surprise, its THE strongest comp in the game. Requires very little gold, very stable on Kalista 1 and Rakan 1, and has high win-con. Very good matchups into most comps. You should force it whenever you have a guinsoo or bow opener. It's also a comp you can fall back on if your opener sucks, just take econ augment and full open, bow on carousel, into 4-2 roll down.

HOWEVER, i think people are getting baited into forcing this a bit too hard. If you have a strong AP opener, you should just play AP. Having a strong early/mid game into playing an uncontested line is super valuable.

- Kalista items: Guinsoo x 2 is BIS but hard to get. Guinsoo + LW is good enough
- Rakan items: ANY tank items work but BIS is Warmogs Gargoyle or Steadfast. However just slam whatever you can make (adaptive, dclaw, bramble, etc)
- Extra items go on Katarina/Hecarim/Camille but you don't really want/need extra items
- If you have Faerie + 1, just drop Trist for Bard/Morg. Only play 7 Faerie if you have Katarina items
- Good augments: Econ augments, Royal Guard, Avenge the Fallen, Immovable Object, Giant and Mighty, Scoreboard Scrapper, Combat Bandages

KATARINA REROLL GUIDE

Katarina reroll currently averaging a 4.35 in GM+ only outplaced by twin terror comps. I spammed 3 games of Katarina right when patch started and went 1-4-1. (last game I pivoted to Ziggs carry)

Here's how to play it -

1/4

- Play with Kat orb drop or glove components
- Kat items: HOJ HOJ JG (you get HOJ from Superfan)
- Other items that work: Rabadon, Nashors, BB, GS, Gunblade, Guardbreaker
- Neeko/Ekko: Spark + 2
- AD items on Zed/Yone
- BOTH headliners work, you just play slightly different boards
- CD Kat caps with 6 CD, Country Kat caps with Thresh and Yorick for 4 guardian

2/4

HERE ARE SOME HEADLINER RULES YOU SHOULD KNOW:

1. If you pass a headliner, the next time you see that champion it will have the other trait.

For example, if you pass Edgelord Riven, the next Riven will 100% be 8 Bit Riven

If a unit has 3 traits, it will 50/50 be the other 2 traits. Once you've seen 2 traits. it resets to the other 2 traits.

1/6 2. If you pass a headliner, you CAN'T find that same champion for the next x shops. This depends on what cost the unit is. For 1/2/3 costs, its 7 shops. For 4 cost its 5 shops. For 5 costs its 4 shops.

If you pass Executioner Samira, you CAN'T find any Samira's for the next 7 shops

If you pass 8 Bit Caitlyn, you CAN'T find any Caitlyns for the next 5 shops.
