Teamfight Tactics’ Into the Arcane set may have come out last week, but like everything that comes into contact with the Arcane, it’s not quite done evolving yet. To celebrate the release of the final episodes of Arcane, TFT’s developers have released a new video announcing that some of the show’s most important characters are coming to the game next week. (If you haven’t finished the show yet, tread lightly — spoilers are in the video).
If you’re an Arcane fan who’s already played TFT set 13, you’ve likely been wondering where characters like Viktor and Warwick are, or how exactly they missed the cut. Thankfully, the game’s upcoming update should make sense of that for you. In the above announcement video, set 13 lead designer Shawn Elizabeth Main revealed that Viktor, Mel, and Warwick are coming to Into the Arcane as new 6-cost units.
This is the first time that TFT has added 6-cost units to the game, and their power level appears to fit their high price. The video shows off some of the abilities of all three champions — each in their final forms from the last act of Arcane — and they seem capable of totally turning the tide of a TFT match all on their own. Of course, to counteract that power, these units will be exceedingly rare, only available in the endgame of a match — and even then you, might not see them.
The video announcement itself has a few more interesting insights into how the team balanced releasing the set and hiding some of its most exciting units, as well as how they designed these new characters to feel as exciting and powerful as they look in the show.
These 6-cost units will be added to Teamfight Tactics in its next patch, which is set for release on Dec. 5.
