Teamfight Tactics' 16th Set, Legends & Lore, is almost here! Read on to learn everything you need to know about the newest set mechanic—Unlockables.
Set 16: Lore & Legends
It’s finally time for our final set of the year to debut! Lore & Legends will arrive to the live servers next Wednesday, on the third of December, with brand new units, traits, augments, and a special new mechanic called “unlockables.” This is set to be the biggest set in TFT history, with a total of 100 units to mess around with, about 40 units more than standard TFT rosters tend to have.
Visually, it’ll also likely be the simplest to navigate, as the theme of Set 16 is simply “League of Legends.” Classes are fairly standard; you have your Juggernauts, Slayers, and Bruisers; while the Origins are all Runterra-location-based. Field your favourite faction (Bilgewater!) and unlock stronger and stronger units with the new mechanic.
Set Mechanic: Unlockables
The standard roster of 60 units is joined by an additional 40 units that are only available for purchase after certain conditions are met. That’s a lot of unlockables, and this mechanic will certainly take a long time to get used to. Below, we’ve listed every single unlockable and the condition you have to achieve to get them in your shop. But before we get into that, here’s what we know about the mechanic:
Once unlocked, the unit will appear in the rightmost slot in your shop.
Unlockable Units have standard bag sizes and can be contested.
If you don’t field or bench an unlocked unit, it’ll appear less and less frequently.
