With the League of Legends Patch 14.6, the new TFT Set 11, Inkborne Colors, will soon launch. Here at MeinMMO, you’ll get an overview of all the new features that await you.
With the new set from Teamfight Tactics, there are, as usual, a lot of new champions, traits, and augments to discover and try out. Thematically, this time it goes in a mystical direction – at the intersection of legend and reality.
Additionally, we will encounter a brand new mechanic and 2 unknown faces.
When is the release? The new TFT Set “Inkborne Colors” launches on 20.03.2024.
In a video, the developers show what new features we can expect:
TFT Set 11: Encounters
One of the most exciting new features in Set 11 is the so-called Encounters. This is a completely new mechanic that aims to bring more variety into the game.
Encounters are special events where you meet familiar champions from League of Legends and must defeat them. Depending on the champion, you will receive different effects or choices.
There are more than 80 different possible encounters, of which up to 5 can occur per game.
The rewards from the encounters are varied and range from classic loot like gold or items to larger changes, such as an early end to the game. Possible encounters include:
- Aatrox: Choice between component forge, tactician life, or gold
- Caitlyn: 4 free rerolls
- Garen: Champions purchased in the next 3 rounds receive an additional 100 health permanently
- Cho’Gath: Grants bonuses when sacrificing a slot in the shop
- Kai’Sa: Magnetic remover with unlimited uses or gold
- Kayn: The game ends at Stage 5-4, players receive an item for 3 rounds

- Artist (1): A champion can be placed on a special spot on the bench. Hwei creates a 1-star copy of that champion. This takes as many rounds as the champion to be copied costs in gold, reduced by Hwei’s higher star rating.
- Great (1): After 3 abilities, Wukong enhances his weapon and thus alters his abilities.
- Lover (1): Switches between Rakan and Xayah depending on whether the champion is placed in the front or back two rows.

As usual, there are 5 price categories. Here are the champions you can add to your team:

Who is this? You may have come across the names Kobuku and Alune. These are not classic champions from League of Legends. Alune might be familiar to Aphelios players as she is his twin sister, who will now have her own appearance in TFT. Kobuku, on the other hand, is a bearded Yordle, who is being introduced in TFT for the first time.
Will there be augments and portals?
Portals and augments will also continue to be part of TFT.
- With Set 11, 46 new portals and over 100 new augments are introduced into the game.
- However, there is a chance that portals may now be replaced by an encounter at the beginning of the game.
Overall, there will be plenty to discover and experiment with again. With the introduction of encounters, the game should become even more diverse and unpredictable, ensuring that no round plays out the same. Are you already looking forward to the new set? Which traits do you want to try first? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
After long believing the hype was dead, MeinMMO author Schuhmann has also fallen into the pull of Teamfight Tactics. Here you can find out how it happened: I fell for a free-to-play game while on vacation that I laughed at a colleague for 4 years
