善用充滿聯盟戰棋《奧術》獨家單位與特性的陣容,一起「追尋奧術」! 


讓我們熱烈迎接「追尋奧術」的到來,這套棋組會讓你在戰棋世界重溫、重塑並重新想像《奧術》的故事。「追尋奧術」內含超過12位《奧術》角色,還有一些相關主題豐富內容,你可以在收看《奧術》的空檔暢玩《聯盟戰棋》,遊戲內容還會隨著《奧術》劇情進度不斷變化——等等,這什麼意思?不僅包含《奧術》角色:完整陣容三分之一來自《奧術》、三分之一來自皮爾托福與佐恩,而剩下三分之一則來自符文大地各處。「追尋奧術」將於11月20日與14.23版本同步推出。讓我們先來探索一些你會遇到的角色與特性,首先要介紹的是化學巨頭!


化學巨頭(3/4/5/6/7)


  • 辛吉德 1費 前哨部隊

  • 睿娜妲.格萊斯克 2費 先知

  • 雷尼 3費 蠻勇打手

  • 潛伏者 3費 潛伏者

  • 希爾科 4費 霸主

  • 塞薇卡 5費 豪氣賭客、競技鬥士


高風險特性重磅回歸,你願意冒巨大風險爭取豐厚報酬嗎?這項特性伴隨的劃時代創新就只有佐恩的化學巨頭才能掌握。發動後,每場玩家戰鬥結束都可獲得微光,連敗至少3次時可獲得更多微光。每獲得100微光,將可在黑市購買非法道具。你可以選擇立即購買,或累積更多微光來換取更豐厚的獎勵。你可以部署更多化學巨頭來收集更多微光。此外,這些詭異的紫色物質還可以用於兌換同樣可疑的武器。讓我們來看看其中幾件武器吧(請注意,以下數值仍在調整中):


回收採礦手套:100微光

[Salvaged Mining Gauntlet image] 

  • 25%物攻、20%攻速

  • 普攻造成額外真實傷害

  • 快速為斯米奇或塞薇卡兌換適合的強力物攻道具


不穩定的煉金罐I:200微光

[Destablizied Chemtank image] 

  • 10物防、10魔防、200生命

  • 生命掉到50%時,獲得等同於25%最大生命的護盾。之後每隔幾秒獲得較小的護盾。 

  • 體型會變大

  • 雖然辛吉德和雷尼最擅長使用煉金罐,但塞薇卡也不會拒絕能大幅提昇生存能力的機會。,誰知道呢,或許她能撐到中大獎也說不定! 


生化病毒III:400微光

[Virulent Virus image] 

  • 50魔攻、30%攻速、10魔力

  • 造成技能傷害後,施加感染,在6秒內造成該傷害40%的真實傷害。

  • 稜鏡III加成:受感染敵軍的傷害輸出會降低25%,死亡後還會暫時加入我方,擁有1000生命,並會在幾秒內快速衰減。

  • 生化病毒II是此道具的第三等級,除了原有效果之外還附帶額外被動效果。大部分基礎非法道具都有稜鏡(III)等級與金級(II)的版本,能大幅強化其威力。 

  • 生化病毒最適合希爾科和睿娜妲.格萊斯克使用,他們不僅能善用其被動效果,還能從其基礎能力值中受益最多。


次元傳家寶:700微光

  • 這件超非法道具相當神祕,不僅幾乎無法取得,更加難以對抗。 



所有裝備非法道具的化學巨頭都會依據特性的斷點增加最大生命。

化學巨頭是高風險特性。行家都不太會轉換陣容,因為一旦將連敗轉為連勝,就幾乎不會再失手了。在前期,你要想辦法「輸得漂亮」,盡量打得勢均力敵,不要損失太多生命。透過手持電鋸的恐怖角色雷尼提前發動特性,她既能當坦克,也能專門負責單一目標控場。你也可以選擇部署斯米奇,這位快速而瘋狂的潛伏者會優先攻擊裝備最少的敵軍,然後跳向下一個毫無防備的獵物。雷尼和斯米奇都是《聯盟戰棋》專屬的《奧術》角色,他們既能與其他化學巨頭配合,也能與蠻勇打手(菲艾與雷尼聯動??)或潛伏者(吉茵珂絲現在能和斯米奇好好相處了?)一起出場。 


-


讓5費化學巨頭塞薇卡一同參戰!她的手臂會在「火焰噴射器」、「延伸重拳」、「狂野撕咬」與稀有的「中大獎(會噴出大量金錢,偶爾還會掉寶箱)」之間切換,讓隨機技能成為獲得聯盟分數的關鍵!但塞薇卡隨機切換的可不只有傷害而已。她的豪氣賭客特性能讓她短暫獲得續戰力,且除了隨機得到的技能外,還可以隨機獲得一件吉茵珂絲改造機械。這件改造機械可能會向敵軍隨機發射火箭、賦予護盾、產生一些金錢,或是大幅強化她的技能!


-


執法者(2/4/6/8/10)


  • 史提布 1費 蠻勇打手

  • 梅狄 1費 狙擊專家

  • 卡蜜兒 2費 潛伏者

  • 洛里斯 3費 前哨部隊

  • 逆命 3費 極速先鋒

  • 菲艾 4費 競技鬥士

  • 凱特琳 5費 狙擊專家


如果你想對付最危險的目標,那你最好帶上執法者。執法者會在戰鬥開始時獲得護盾,並將生命值最高的敵軍單位標記為「通緝」目標!你帶進佐恩下水道的執法者越多,就能「通緝」越多敵軍。執法者還會獲得傷害增幅,協助你完成任務。成功擊殺「通緝」敵軍後,所有友軍都會受到鼓舞而提升攻速。 


執法者直接從《奧術》世界加入了戰棋世界(還有卡蜜兒以及換上皮爾托福服裝的逆命,讓陣容更充實)。其中的史提布與梅狄是前期的節奏型威脅。史提布是優秀的治療師,能在小規模戰鬥中發揮巨大作用,而梅狄則是專注於瞄準頭部或是離她最遠的敵軍。狙擊專家梅狄可透過靈活站位將傷害提升至最高,協助維持前期連勝的狀態。盡早取得洛里斯並湊齊4位執法者,能幫你維持連勝優勢,直到獲得兩位後期執法者特性的輸出角色為止。 

-


凱特琳是執法者的領袖,她的空襲會呼叫空中支援,在5秒內轟炸敵軍。如果有敵軍位在中心點,凱特琳會鎖定並立即發射海克斯彈藥,造成更高的傷害。 


-

征服者(2/4/6/9)


  • 達瑞斯 1費 守護者

  • 達瑞文 1費 競技鬥士

  • 銳兒 2費 前哨部隊、先知 

  • 斯溫 3費 變形大師、巫師

  • 安比薩 4費 使者、極速先鋒

  • 魔鬥凱薩 5費 霸主 


征服敵軍盤面,享受國運昌隆的諾克薩斯財寶!征服者將增加物攻與魔攻,參與擊殺時將獲得征服堆層。累積足夠征服層數後,你便可開啟裝滿越來越豐厚戰利品的戰場寶箱!你部署的征服者越多,就能越快累積征服堆層,開啟更厲害的戰場寶箱。你在額外的斷點還能獲得更多物攻和魔攻。 


對征服者玩家來說,前期滾雪球非常重要。前期不要害怕重抽或快速升級,只要你的征服者能擊殺敵軍,你就能追上對手進度。在前期,斧頭兄弟達瑞斯和達瑞文會是你前排與後排的好選擇。銳兒和斯溫則會協助你擊殺坦克,累積更多征服堆層,而斯溫還能當成中期的魔攻輸出角色。 


--


征服者會在你等級提高後開始發威,你就能部署《聯盟戰棋》首次登場的超猛近戰極速先鋒——安比薩。安比薩每次施放技能時會在兩個架式之間切換。在鎖鏈架式下,她的攻擊距離會增加一格,衝刺並攻擊半圓形範圍內的目標,造成額外傷害。當她縮短雙刃上的鎖鏈時,會對近距離敵軍猛烈攻擊,獲得全能吸血與雙倍攻速。在這個架式下,她的技能會猛擊當前目標,然後迅速退至安全位置。


安比薩的次要特性「極速先鋒」,會讓她在發動時根據目標已損失的生命獲得跑速及攻速。加入夜曲發動極速先鋒,再搭配布里茨的機器人特性,這樣既能讓機器人單位獲得一些物防、魔防和固定傷害加成,又能提升我方隊伍的續戰力,而不會搶走征服者的擊殺數。在隊伍中加入布里茨是個不錯的選擇,能協助觸發5費征服者魔鬥凱薩的霸主特性。一起來看看他和安比薩的實際精彩表現吧! 


--

家族(3/4/5)

  • 爆爆 1費 潛伏者、拼裝高手 

  • 菲爾蕾特 1費 競技鬥士

  • 范德爾 2費 守護者


家族團結能發揮更強大的力量。在上一季備受喜愛的緊密家族如今仍互相扶持,在降低最大魔力的同時獲得更多加成效果。他們隨時都歡迎更多新的家族成員加入,想建立新關係的話,就大膽使用家族徽章吧! 


(3)魔力減免、傷害減免

(4)魔力減免、攻速

(5)魔力減免。家族成員會嘗試打劫上城!戰鬥後,存活的家族成員越多,就能獲得越多戰利品和其他獎勵!


--


家族特性適合用來玩重抽陣容機制。盡快存到50金錢,然後慢慢重抽,將你的家族成員(與其夥伴)升至3星。在重抽家族角色的同時,也可以搭配像剛普朗克和特朗德這樣的單位發動額外的搭配戰術。獲得家族徽章後,可以領養一個能因為魔力減免和攻速提升而獲益的單位,例如長大後的菲艾就是完美選擇。如果你的家族成員拓展至家族(5)時,就要準備全力以赴,快速重抽,讓更多家族成員從上城人身上奪取資源,提供給你的聯盟棋手! 

-


野火幫(2/3/4)


  • 婕莉 2費 狙擊專家

  • 飛俠 3費 守護者

  • 艾克 4費 潛伏者、拼裝高手


野火幫單位每隔幾秒會衝刺一次。衝刺時將獲得無限攻擊距離,並根據上一次衝刺後所受傷害回復一定比例的生命。集結越多的野火幫,治療量就越高。 


-


在重抽陣容中放入一些野火幫,再搭配如寇格魔、蓋倫這類續戰力特別好的守護者,你就能在享受風箏敵軍的同時,讓守護者來坦傷害。 


野火幫還帶來了《聯盟戰棋》專屬的《奧術》單位「斯卡」,他不但能暈眩鄰近敵軍,還能自我回復。他是完美的控場坦克,能在艾克帶著殘影衝入戰場時牽制敵軍。把皇冠守衛和嗜血者這類魔攻鬥士道具留給艾克,因為他必須在加入戰局後撐到能撤離為止,並準備再次進攻。 


反叛軍(3/5/7/10) 


  • 伊瑞莉雅 1費 前哨部隊

  • 薇可絲 1費 先知

  • 阿卡莉 2費 極速先鋒

  • 賽特 2費 蠻勇打手

  • 伊澤瑞爾 3費 學院、巨砲專家

  • 伊羅旖 4費 前哨部隊

  • 柔依 4費 巫師

  • 吉茵珂絲 5費 潛伏者


準備好將戰棋世界染成藍色了嗎?反叛軍獲得最大生命,在所屬隊伍損失部分生命時,將出現煙霧信號,提升反叛軍的攻速,持續數秒;並賦予額外的能力,持續到戰鬥結束。在此特性上投入的單位越多,這項能力會變得越強。 


(3)雙攻

(5)進一步提升雙攻與生命

(7)更進一步提升雙攻與生命,使所有敵軍暈眩2秒

(10)煙霧信號會在戰鬥開始時發動,之後每隔幾秒發動一次。



-


吉茵珂絲集結戰棋世界的所有藍髮女孩(應該還有伊澤瑞爾和賽特吧),帶領他們將敵軍化為煙霧,走向勝利。但吉茵珂絲不僅是這項特性的代表形象,她還是這項特性的5費英雄。這次她還帶了她的全套武器庫登場。 


吉茵珂絲每次施放技能時,會在三件不同武器之間切換。咬咬手榴彈是第一件武器,會對鄰近3群敵軍造成物理傷害。她的下一件武器更實用。咻咻會對直線上的敵軍造成物理傷害,並使其暈眩。她的最後一件武器會發射死亡火箭,在極大範圍內造成大量傷害,範圍有多大—整個皮爾托福議會。 


-


黑玫瑰(3/4/5/7)


  • 魔甘娜 1費 先知

  • 弗拉迪米爾 2費 巫師、守護者

  • 卡莎碧雅 3費 霸主 

  • 伊莉絲 4費 蠻勇打手、變形大師

  • 勒布朗 5費 巫師


集結這個邪惡黑玫瑰集會的隊伍會賦予你1個被鎖鏈束縛的賽恩,他會在黑玫瑰施放五次技能或他失去約三分之一生命時獲得自由。你的黑玫瑰英雄越多,賽恩就越強。 


(3)召喚賽恩

(4)賽恩對敵軍造成傷害後,敵軍將會受到來自黑玫瑰更多的傷害

(5)賽恩獲得自由後會施放黑暗魔法

(7)賽恩陣亡時會以超越死亡的力量復活


每個黑玫瑰的星級都會提升賽恩的力量。這不是你熟悉的英雄黎明版賽恩召喚。這個賽恩會甦醒並衝向敵軍,在獲得護盾後用斧頭猛擊敵軍。 


-


領導賽恩復活的女人勒布朗,以黑玫瑰5費英雄身分自陰影中現身。勒布朗的命運鎖鏈會將敵軍鎖在一起,使其分攤傷害。當敵軍被鎖在一起,其中一位受到傷害,其他被鎖住的敵軍也會受到額外傷害。如果被鎖住的敵軍死亡,勒布朗會竊取其部分魔力,再平均分給友軍。 


-

戰爭學院(3/4/5/6) 


  • 拉克絲 1費 巫師

  • 雷歐娜 2費 前哨部隊

  • 伊澤瑞爾 3費 反叛軍、巨砲專家

  • 漢默丁格 4費 先知

  • 杰西 5費 變形大師


開學囉,我們要研究各種道具,不過具體會是哪種道具就要看這一局的課程安排了。在每場對戰開始時,戰爭學院會贊助3件不同道具,每場對戰都會改變,類似彩墨書話的飛升聖者特性。只要發動學院特性,你就會獲得一件贊助道具。在裝備贊助道具後,裝備者會獲得額外生命與傷害增幅,而戰爭學院單位獲得的加成會更多。隨著戰爭學院斷點的提高,你會獲得更多的贊助道具,並獲得更多生命與傷害增幅。 


--


班上最優秀的人才,同時也是皮爾托福的金童,那就是戰爭學院特性的5費可變換型態英雄。光是將杰西派上場,你就能獲得一個可部署的海克斯科技鍛爐,其效果會依據杰西位置而變化。當杰西在前兩排,每次施放技能,鍛爐會賦予最靠近的3位友軍護盾,持續數秒。當杰西在後排,每次施放技能,鍛爐會賦予最靠近的友軍攻速。如果鍛爐遭摧毀,杰西會消耗生命使其恢復。 


杰西和他的鍛爐一樣多變。由於杰西具備變形大師特性,他的技能會隨著部署位置而改變。如果發動該特性時,放在後2排會獲得傷害增幅,而放在前2排會獲得傷害減免。當杰西在前排,他的技能會召喚2道海克斯傳送門,並將目標撞入其中一道傳送門,造成傷害。他的目標會從第二道傳送門飛回原位,對路徑上所有敵軍造成物理傷害。當杰西在後排,他會向最靠近的位敵軍投擲不穩定的水晶。這些水晶會造成物理傷害,並引起連鎖爆炸,對鄰近敵軍造成額外傷害。


--

實驗體(3/5/7) 


  • 枷蘿 1費 巫師

  • 烏爾加特 2費 競技鬥士、巨砲專家

  • 努努 3費 武鬥家、先知

  • 蒙多醫生 4費 霸主

  • 圖奇 4費 狙擊專家



現在從學院來到實驗室。實驗體會在盤面上生成實驗室棋格。當你把實驗體放在實驗室棋格上,他們會獲得所有在實驗室棋格上的實驗體加成,並增加最大生命。隨著追求更高深知識導致的實驗體斷點提高,你將獲得更多實驗室棋格,更多生命,而在(7)實驗體時,你的實驗體加成會加倍。一起來瞧瞧這些加成的具體內容吧!


枷蘿:技能傷害可對敵軍造成流血效果,在3秒內造成額外真實傷害

烏爾加特:改變目標後,衝向新目標,並獲得護盾與攻速,持續4秒

努努:造成傷害後,造成最大生命的額外魔法傷害

蒙多醫生:參與擊殺後,獲得最大生命,持續到戰鬥結束

圖奇:每當對英雄造成5次傷害後,便會對該目標造成相當於其部分最大生命的物理傷害


-

拼裝高手(2/4/6/8/10) 


  • 爆爆 1費 家族、潛伏者

  • 特朗德 1費 蠻勇打手

  • 希格斯 2費 霸主

  • 剛普朗克 3費 變形大師、競技鬥士

  • 庫奇 4費 巨砲專家

  • 艾克 4費 潛伏者、野火幫

  • 藍寶 5費 廢鐵之王、前哨部隊


人氣特性拼裝高手強勢回歸!拼裝高手英雄都是即興創新大師。他們在會在戰鬥開始時將任何組件拼湊成完整道具,但你必須在拼裝高手上投入更多單位,才能將多個組件合成完整道具。拼裝高手單位也會在戰鬥開始時,依據我方隊伍持有的組件數量獲得護盾,包括已用來合成完整道具的組件。在(6)拼裝高手時,道具會獲得幸運加成;而在(9)拼裝高手時,合成組件會變成聖光道具!

廢鐵之王TK TK

使者(1/4) 


  • 崔絲塔娜 2費 巨砲專家

  • 娜米 3費 巫師

  • 安比薩 4費 征服者、極速先鋒

  • 蓋倫 4費 守護者


使者只會在擁有剛好1位或全部4位不同的使者時才會發動。每位使者都有其獨特的加成效果可幫助我方隊伍,當你集齊全部4位使者,其加成會加倍! 


讓我們看看這些符文大地的代表帶來了什麼樣的加成:


安比薩:我方隊伍每擊敗一個不同敵軍就會獲得2物防和魔防。 

蓋倫:戰鬥開始時,蓋倫以及他左右的友軍獲得蓋倫的部分最大生命。

娜米:我方普攻賦予額外魔力。

崔絲塔娜:友軍每有1星級,便會獲得攻速


無論你是在重抽崔絲塔娜的同時搭配其他使者填滿我方盤面,或者純粹利用蓋倫將三腰帶的效果發揮到極致,你都能靈活搭配或部署所有使者,打造橫跨符文大地的聯盟,並不斷累積聯盟分數。

雖然已經說了很多,但這套棋組還有更多內容等你探索。請持續關注我們未來更多與機制或風格裝飾相關的文章,或是回顧我們關於上個棋組「魔法無極限」的心得文。11月20日,「追尋奧術」與14.23版本推出時,我們期待與你相會! 


Chem-Baron is a high stakes trait where you won’t pivot much after turning your loss streak into a never-lose-again-streak (that’s called a win streak for the knowers out there). Early game, you’ll want to continually lose without losing too much health—keep fights close if you can. Activate the trait early with the chainsaw-wielding terror, Renni, who acts as much like a tank as she does a single-target CC machine. Or field Smeech, the fast and chaotic Ambusher who targets enemies with the fewest items before leaping to the next defenseless prey. Both Renni and Smeech are TFT-exclusive Arcane characters that are just as likely to be paired with the rest of the Chem-Barons as they are other Bruisers (Vi and Renni synergy??) or Ambushers (Jinx and Smeech can be friends now?).

Arm yourself with the Chem-Baron 5-cost, Sevika, whose arm turns a gacha ability into a gotcha LP as it rotates between Flamethrower, Extendo-Punch, Chomp, and the ever-elusive Jackpot (it fires out a lot of gold and the occasional treasure chest)! But the output isn’t the only thing Sevika’s rolling through. Her High Roller trait allows her to gain Durability briefly and roll a random Jinx mod on top of the ability she rolls. The mod can be launching random rockets at enemies, gaining a shield, generating a bit of gold, or significantly amping up her ability!

ENFORCER (2/4/6/8/10)

  • Steb 1G Bruiser

  • Maddie 1G Sniper

  • Camille 2G Ambusher

  • Loris 3G Sentinel

  • Twisted Fate 3G Quickstriker

  • Vi 4G Pit Fighter

  • Caitlyn 5G Sniper

If you pursue the most dangerous game, you better come with the Enforcers. Enforcers gain a shield at the start of combat and mark the highest-health enemy units as WANTED! The more Enforcers you bring into the sewers of Zaun, the more WANTED! enemies you can flush out, and to help you with the deed, Enforcers will gain Damage Amplification. Manage to take a WANTED! enemy down and all allies will be inspired with Attack Speed.

The Enforcers come straight out of Arcane and into the Convergence (with a Camille and a Piltover-clad Twisted Fate to round out the roster). They’ll bring the early game tempo-threats of Steb and Maddie. Steb is a great healer who provides a ton of impact in skirmishes with few units, while Maddie will aim for the head—or the farthest enemy from her. As a Sniper, Maddie will benefit from creative positioning to maximize her damage and keep those early-game win streaks streaking. Early access to Loris and Enforcer 4 should help you continue your streaking until you can get the two late-game carries for the trait.

As the leader of the Enforcers, Caitlyn’s Air Raid calls in the air support to bombard enemies over 5 seconds. If an enemy is caught in the epicenter, Caitlyn will lock in and immediately fire a hex-shot, dealing increased damage.

CONQUEROR (2/4/6/9)

  • Darius 1G Watcher

  • Draven 1G Pit Fighter

  • Rell 2G Sentinel, Visionary 

  • Swain 3G Form Swapper, Sorcerer

  • Ambessa 4G Emissary, Quickstriker

  • Mordekaiser 5G, Dominator 

Conquer enemy boards and reap the rewards of a fully realized Noxian empire! Conquerors gain Attack Damage and Ability Power, and their takedowns grant stacks of Conquest. After gaining enough Conquest, you’ll open a War Chest full of increasingly valuable loot! The more Conquerors you field, the quicker you’ll ramp Conquest to rack up stronger and stronger War Chests. You’ll also get more AD and AP at additional breakpoints.

Snowballing early in the game is vital for Conqueror players. Don’t be afraid to roll or push levels a bit harder in the early game; as long as your Conquerors are getting kills, you should be able to catch up. In the early game, the axe-bros, Darius and Draven, will be your front and backline, with Rell and Swain to help you gather even more Conquest from the occasional tank takedown or in Swain’s case, a mid-game AP carry.

Conqueror starts rolling when you’ve tempo’d to the later levels and can field the TFT debut of Ambessa, the bad-ass melee Quickstriker. Ambessa switches between two stances every cast. She gains one range with her Chains and hits extra hard, dashing and striking in a half-circle. When she shortens the chain leash on her glaives, she wails on foes in close range, gaining Omnivamp and attacking twice as fast. In this stance, her cast will have her slam her current target, and then dash out to safety.

Ambessa’s secondary trait, Quickstriker, allows her to move faster and gain Attack Speed based on her target’s missing health when active. Adding a Nocturne to activate Quickstriker alongside Blitzcrank for Automata, which provides a bit of Armor, MR, and flat damage for Automata units,  will provide more durability for your team without denying too many kills for your Conqueror. Blitzcrank is a nice add here to proc Dominator for the 5-cost of Conqueror, Mordekaiser. Check out him and Ambessa in action below!

FAMILY (3/4/5)

  • Powder 1G Amusher, Scrap 

  • Violet 1G Pit Fighter

  • Vander 2G Watcher

Family is stronger together. The tight-knit Family we came to know and love last season still support each other, lowering their max Mana and gaining additional bonuses. They’re always open to adding more Family members too, so if you want to create new bonds, use that Family Emblem liberally! 

(3) Mana reduction, Damage Reduction

(4) Mana reduction, Attack Speed

(5) Mana reduction. Family members will attempt a heist on the topside! After combat, find loot and more for each surviving family member!

Family is best played as a reroll comp engine. Save up to 50 gold as fast as possible and slowly roll to 3-star your Family members (and their pals). Reroll family, alongside units like Gangplank and Trundle, to activate additional synergies. Get a Family Emblem and adopt a unit that’ll benefit from the reduced Mana and Attack Speed—the grown-up Vi is a perfect match here.  If your family expands to Family (5), get ready to go all-in, spiking as fast as possible by rolling down so more Family members can take from topsiders and give to your Tactician! 


FIRELIGHT (2/3/4)

  • Zeri 2G Sniper

  • Fly Guy 3G Watcher

  • Ekko 4G Ambusher, Scrap

Every few seconds, Firelights dash. While dashing, they attack with infinite range and restore a percentage of the damage they have taken since their last dash. The more Firelights you gather, the more they’ll heal.

Throw some Firelights into a reroll comp with the likes of Kog'Maw, Garen, and a few other Watchers who gain more durability, and kick back as your Firelights kite around while Watchers soak up the damage. 

Firelight brings TFT exclusive Arcane unit, Scar, who will stun nearby enemies and heal up. He’s the perfect CC tank to distract your foes as Ekko swoops in with an assault of afterimages. Save your AP Fighter items like Crownguard and Bloodthirster for Ekko, as he’ll need to survive long enough to dash out before going back in.

REBEL (3/5/7/10)

  • Irelia 1G Sentinel

  • Vex 1G Visionary

  • Akali 2G Quickstriker

  • Sett 2G Bruiser

  • Ezreal 3G Academy, Artillerist

  • Illaoi 4G Sentinel

  • Zoe 4G Sorcerer

  • Jinx 5G Ambusher

Ready to paint the Convergence blue? Rebels gain max Health, and after losing a portion of their team’s HP a smoke signal appears, granting Rebels Attack Speed for a few seconds and additional power for the rest of combat. That power grows as you further invest in the trait.

(3) AD & AP

(5) More AD & AP, and Health

(7) Even MORE AD & AP, more Health, and Stun all enemies for 2 seconds

(10) The smoke signal triggers at Combat Start and every few seconds.

Gather the Convergence’s blue-haired girls (and Ezreal and Sett, I guess) and get ready for your foes to go up in smoke as Jinx rallies them to victory. But Jinx isn’t just the iconic visual for the trait; she’s also the trait’s 5-cost, and she’s packing her entire arsenal this time around.

Jinx alternates between three different weapons each time she casts. Flame Chompers are first, and they’ll deal physical damage to 3 nearby groups of enemies. Her next cast has a bit more utility—Zap deals damage to enemies in a line and stuns them. Her final cast in the rotation fires the Death Rocket which deals a high amount of damage in a huge AOE—it’s the entire Piltover Council board.

BLACK ROSE (3/4/5/7)

  • Morgana 1G Visionary

  • Vladimir 2G Sorcerer, Watcher

  • Cassiopeia 3G Dominator 

  • Elise 4G Bruiser, Form Swapper

  • LeBlanc 5G Sorcerer

Assembling this sinister coven grants you a Sion, bound in chains and freed after the Black Rose casts five times, or when he loses about a third of his health. Adding more Black Rose champions further empowers Sion.

(3) Summon Sion

(4) Once he deals damage to them, Sion’s enemies take more damage from the Black Rose

(5) When freed, Sion unleashes dark magic

(7) Upon death, Sion restores to life with power beyond death

Each Black Rose star level increases Sion's power. This isn’t the Dawn of Heroes Sion summon you may be familiar with; this Sion awakens and charges into his opponents, gaining a shield before smashing his axe into them.

The woman who led in the resurrection of Sion, LeBlanc, emerges from the shadows as Black Rose’s 5-cost. LeBlanc’s Chains of Fate chains together enemies, dealing damage split between them. While they’re chained, when one takes damage, the others also take additional damage. If a chained foe dies, LeBlanc will steal some of their Mana and split it amongst her allies.

ACADEMY (3/4/5/6)

  • Lux 1G Sorcerer

  • Leona 2G Sentinel

  • Ezreal 3G Rebel, Artillerist

  • Heimerdinger 4G Visionary

  • Jayce 5G Form Swapper

School’s in session, and we’re studying items—just which items, though, will depend on the game course you’re taking. At the start of each game, the Academy sponsors 3 different items, changing each game, similar to Exalted from Inkborn Fables. Just by activating the trait, you’ll receive one of the sponsored items. When a sponsored item is equipped, the wearer will gain bonus Health and Damage Amp, with Academy units gaining much more. As you move up in breakpoints for Academy, you’ll receive more sponsored items and gain more Health and Damage Amplification.

At the top of his class, Piltover’s golden boy is the Form Swapping 5-cost for Academy. Just by fielding him, you’ll receive a placeable Hextech Forge, which will change based on where Jayce is placed. In the front two rows, when Jayce casts, the forge grants a Shield for a few seconds to the 3 allies closest to it. When Jayce is in the back, the Forge will grant allies closest to it Attack Speed when Jayce casts. If the Forge is dead, Jayce will revive it with reduced Health.

Just like his Forge, Jayce is versatile himself. Thanks to his Form Swapper trait, where you field Jayce will change his ability, and if the trait’s active, grant him either Damage Amplification (if placed in the back 2 rows) or Damage Reduction (when placed in the front 2 rows). When placed in the front, Jayce’s ability will summon 2 Hexgates and knock the target into one of them, dealing damage. His target then flies back to their original position from the second gate, dealing physical damage to all enemies in the path. When backline, Jayce will throw unstable crystals at the nearest enemies. The crystals deal physical damage causing a chain reaction of explosions that deal additional damage to enemies nearby.

EXPERIMENT (3/5/7)

  • Zyra 1G Sorcerer

  • Urgot 2G Pit Fighter, Artillerist

  • Nunu 3G Brawler, Visionary

  • Dr. Mundo 4G Dominator

  • Twitch 4G Sniper

Out of the Academy and into the Laboratory. Experiments create Laboratory hexes on your board. When you place an Experiment on a Laboratory hex, they’ll gain the Experiment bonus of all other Experiments on Laboratory hexes, plus max Health. As you pursue greater knowledge by achieving higher Experiment breakpoints, you’ll be able to have more Laboratory hexes, more health, and at (7) Experiment, your Experiment bonuses will double. As to what those bonuses are, let’s take a look!

Zyra: Ability damage bleeds enemies for bonus true damage over 3 seconds

Urgot: After retargeting, dash to the new target, then gain a Shield and Attack Speed for 4 seconds

Nunu: After dealing damage, deal max Health bonus magic damage

Dr. Mundo: On takedown, gain max Health for the rest of combat

Twitch: After every 5 instances of damage on a champion, deal physical damage to them equal to a portion of their max Health

SCRAP (2/4/6/8/10)

  • Powder 1G Family, Ambusher

  • Trundle 1G Bruiser

  • Ziggs 2G Dominator

  • Gangplank 3G Form Swapper, Pit Fighter

  • Corki 4G Artillerist

  • Ekko 4G Ambusher, Firelight

  • Rumble 5G Junker King, Sentinel

Fan favorite Scrap is back! Scrap champions are masters of improvised innovation. They’ll cobble up any component into a full item at the start of combat, but you’ll need to invest deep in Scrap to turn multiple components into full items. Scrap units also gain a shield at the start of combat based on each component your team holds, including ones used in full items. At (6) Scrap, the items become lucky (selected to fit the unit better), and at (9) Scrap, components that transform will become Radiant items!

The Junker King, Rumble, is the 5-cost of Scrap that’ll have you upgrade his mech as he drops the Equalizer, raining missiles that burn and wound targets. For each missile that misses, he’ll restore a bit of Mana, and if there’s only one enemy left, he’ll unload the entire Equalizer onto them.

EMISSARY (1/4)

  • Tristana 2G Artillerist

  • Nami 3G Sorcerer

  • Ambessa 4G Conqueror, Quickstriker

  • Garen 4g Watcher

Emissary is only active when you have exactly 1 or all 4 unique Emissaries. Each Emissary will have their own bonus that can help your team in novel ways, and if you have all 4 Emissaries, their bonuses will double!

Let's see what bonuses these Runeterran representatives bring:

Ambessa: Your team gains 2 Armor and MR for each different opponent defeated. 

Garen: At combat start, Garen and allies to his left and right gain a portion of his max Health.

Nami: Your team's attacks grant bonus Mana.

Tristana: Allies gain AS per their star level

Whether you are rerolling with Tristana and using the other Emissaries to cap out your board, or just using Garen to maximize the three belts you got, you can mix, match, or field all Emissaries to create Runeterra-wide alliances and LP dividends.


That’s a lot, and it’s not even everything the set has to offer. Keep a lookout for more articles on our Mechanic or Cosmetics in the future, or look back on what we learned from our last set, Magic n’ Mayhem, with our Learnings piece. With that, we’ll see you on November 20th with the release of Into the Arcane alongside Patch 14.23!
