Following the finale of the Teamfight Ways Remix Rumble Championship yesterday, Riot Video games unveiled the following set for the favored autobattler. Inkborn Chronicles introduces a enjoyable new RNG-based gameplay mechanic referred to as Encounters. At random factors all through a TFT match, gamers will encounter legendary mythological figures from Runeterra. These figures add some form of spin to the match, offering bonuses or altering gameplay utterly.

Slightly chaos goes a great distance

I’ve performed each Teamfight Ways set because the autobattler was initially launched virtually 5 years in the past. A few of them modified issues up greater than others, however Inkborn Chronicles has the prospect to be the largest shake-up to gameplay but with its Encounters system.

Over the previous couple of days I’ve performed a couple of dozen or so matches of TFT‘s Inkborn Chronicles set on the press and creator PBE, and each single one required me to vary up my strategy to have any form of success. I’d contemplate myself a comparatively common TFT participant. Just about each set I get in, be taught a couple of actually good builds that I are likely to swap between based mostly on the match, and have been in a position to climb to Platinum rank every set.

However in Inkborn Chronicles, I really felt the need, and want, to really boost my builds based mostly on what occurred every match, and to strive some new issues that in all probability wouldn’t be thought of “Meta” simply to see in the event that they labored. Positive, typically it resulted in me getting final place earlier than Raptors. However, typically I’d discover a construct that solely labored underneath the precise set of Encounters from that match, that ended up carrying me to a first-place end.

In Inkborn Chronicles, over 90 potential random Encounters occur all through the sport at random occasions. Some could occur proper firstly of the sport, whereas others could happen on the carousel or earlier than the beginning of a spherical. Some encounters have a fairly minimal impact on the sport. For instance, in a single Encounter, every participant is given a random Stage 3 1-Star unit for only a single spherical. It doesn’t actually change a lot. However in one other Encounter, Kayn confirmed up at spherical 5-4 and killed everybody so as from least well being to most, basically ending the sport proper then and there.

In fact, the conventional belongings you anticipate from a brand new TFT set are current too. Inkborn Chronicles options 59 champions, 27 traits, and greater than 100 augments. Two of the champions are model new and making their first look in Runeterra: Alune, Aphelios twin sister, and Kobuko, a Yordle martial artist.

General, that is shaping as much as be one of the vital content-rich and various units we’ve seen but. I’m excited to see what kind of builds the actually good gamers make to deal with particular Encounter conditions.

Teamfight Ways Inkborn Chronicles set drops on March 20 on each PC and cell.
