Teamfight Tactics (PC, Android, iOS), the auto-chess game of League of Legends, will soon bring the new Set 4 that will change everything. We will tell you which champions are included in Set 4, when it will be released, and why it is particularly worthwhile for newcomers.
What is Set 4? TFT regularly changes all existing champions and the general setting of the game to stay fresh. Set 3 was released in March and had the theme of the galaxies. Accordingly, it received champions with origins like Star Guardian or Astro and classes like Space Pirate.
Set 4, on the other hand, will have the theme of “Fates” and completely new champions, mechanics, and a season pass to match. We have already gathered cheat sheets for Set 4.
When will Set 4 be released? Set 4 is expected to be released with patch 10.19. This is expected to be on September 16.
Already this week, around September 2, the update could find its way to the test server (PBE).
Why is Set 4 worthwhile for newcomers? With the start of a new set, suddenly everything is different in Teamfight Tactics. Even the veterans have to get to know all champions and their attributes at first.
In this phase, the game is the most fun, as there is no established meta yet, and one can experiment a lot and win matches with very crazy combos.
Those who have not yet tried TFT should seize the opportunity and be there right at the beginning of the set. To help you get a good start, we have collected beginner tips to ease your entry:
