When creating anArcane-themedTeamfight Tacticsset, Riot Games made sure that each design and gameplay element builds upon the series' universe. This is exactly what they did with the 13thTeamfight Tacticsset, called “Into the Arcane,” which is a so-called “fan fiction” version ofArcanethat allows players to build teams and craft their own stories through a variety of traits and characters.
This will be the first time thatTeamfight Tacticsfully leans into theArcaneuniverse, despite includingcharacters like Silcoin previous sets. Into the Arcane’s lead set designer Shawn Elizabeth Main noted that they wanted to “deliver a fresh and immersive experience for players, blending strategic gameplay with the rich storytelling ofArcane.” This includes exclusive characters fromArcane’s two seasons, cosmetics and maps inspired by the show, and of course, traits that highlight certain lore elements.

For Into the Arcane,Teamfight Tacticsdevelopers made sure to include champions and traits that match the source material. Although the set is meant to pay homage toArcanein time for the premiere of the second season, it’s still mostly a spoiler-free rendition.Teamfight Tacticsgame director Peter Whalen said that this set allows players to create their own versions ofArcane’s storyin each game, which hints at the unique synergies they could cook up using the new traits.
Family
This trait pertains to the family of siblings Powder and Violet, and their adoptive father, Vander. Members provide mutual support by reducing Mana usage and giving each other extra bonuses.
Enforcer
Enforcers are mostly made up of Caitlyn’s strike team fromArcaneseason two, who are tasked withhunting down Jinxand dismantling Shimmer in Zaun. When activated, Enforcers start combat with shields and damage amplification. The enemy with the highest HP becomes “Wanted,” and Enforcers gain Attack Speed boosts if they defeat them.
Chem-Baron
Chem-Barons lead coalitions of crime bosses, factory owners, and tycoons to ensure peace among Zaunites. Units gain stacks of Shimmer after each player combat, and they gain more if the player’s loss streak is at least three. Every stack of 100 Shimmer opens a Black Market that offers contraband that only Chem-Barons can use.
Academy
Firelight
Thisrebel group led by Ekkois dedicated to hunting down and destroying Silco’s Shimmer operation in Zaun. When active, this trait allows Firelight units to dash every six seconds, attack at infinite range, and heal a percentage of damage.
Black Rose
The Black Rose is a brand-new group introduced in the first three episodes ofArcaneseason two. InLeague of Legendslore, they are asecret Noxian faction led by LeBlanc. As aTeamfight Tacticstrait, Black Rose summons a chained Sion, who is freed after five casts from units or when he drops below 65% health. Sion also gets stronger depending on the trait’s level and the Star level of Black Rose units.
Experiment
Since the first season,Arcanehas highlighted various experiments, from Hextech to Singed’s mutations. This new trait activates Laboratory hexes on the board, which gives Experiment units standing on it extra bonuses.
