Teamfight Tactics Patch 16.1: Lore & Legends releases
Jack Stewart, Senior Editor
Last Updated: 02/12/2025
Teamfight Tactics’ (TFT) biggest set ever is releasing on December 3rd, as TFT Patch 16.1 brings the Lore & Legends update.
The TFT Lore & Legends set will feature 100 champions, far more than any other set.
Many of these champions will be unlockable by completing in-game challenges and conditions as part of the new mechanic.
Here is everything new in the game with the release of the brand new patch.
Lorefinder
Of the 100 playable champions, 40 of them will be locked behind different conditions.
Players will be able to keep track of every champion they unlock through the new in-game Lorefinder feature.
Unlocking these champions will earn players rewards, with a Little Legend reward for unlocking all of them.
And players can earn an exclusive portal if they can get a top-four finish with every unlockable champion.Ne
New ranked season
Once Lore & Legends goes live, the ranked ladder will be immediately available.
Depending on players’ rank in the previous set, they will start anywhere from Iron II to Silver IV; both in Double Up and Standard ranked.
Players will get five provisional matches in ranked after the reset, where they won’t lose any LP for bottom four placements.
During these five matches, they will also early extra LP for top four finishes.
Note, there will still be a 24-hour delay between mobile and PC going live.
A new competitive season is about to begin with Lore & Legends, and every Tactician is invited to join the battle.

Discover all 100(?!) new champions, starting with the 5 & 7 costs: pic.twitter.com/keYg6LdzDr
As mentioned earlier, 40 of the 100 champions in Lore & Legends will have to be unlocked before they can be added to your draft pool.
These champions will have a lock icon in the top right of their portrait in Team Planner, which unlocks once you gain access to them.
Once Unlocked, the unit will appear in the furthest right slot of your shop on your next roll.
Unlocked units have the same amount of copies as other units of their tier. Units above 5 gold still count as Legendary (gold shop border) units and have the same unit pool sizes (9 for Legendary units).
If multiple players Unlock the same Unlockable units, they will be taking copies from the same shared Unlocked pool.
— Teamfight Tactics (@TFT) December 2, 2025
If you Unlock a unit and do not have a copy of it on your board/bench, you will see it less often.
Continue to not purchase this unit and not have it on your board or bench, and it will appear less and less down to a minimum of 20% of the normal appearance rate for that unit.
This keeps your shop focused on units that the player wants to field. If you later purchase this previously ignored unit from the shop, they will return to the pool as normal.
If you sell an Unlockable unit, it returns to that unit’s pool as normal.
For 4- and 5-cost Unlockables, if a small number of players have them Unlocked, the odds of them appearing after you have 3 copies become much worse based on the total copies in the pool.
So if one player has a champion unlocked, buying 9 copies is much harder than a standard champion.
This is to ensure three-starring Unlockables is roughly equivalent to three-starring a regular unit that can be contested.
Note, once four players have that unit unlocked, their weight (frequency) returns to normal as they can be adequately contested.
As a reminder, Unlocks do not carry over from game to game.
Player Damage
Players take damage based upon each stage, and one more for each unit remaining on the battlefield.
Riot is adjusting the flat damage to make Stage 3 more meaningful, rewarding tempo play and strong flexible boards.
With Lore & Legends, fast 8/9 strategies are expected to be much more consistent due to more powerful late game units availble with Unlockables and XP/Level odds changes.
So, to ensure Stage 3 still has impact (and tempo play/reroll is viable), Riot is increasing the player damage.
Damage reduction for Stage 4, along with XP changes, should make the mid-game feel a bit longer and reliable to play for.
Player Damage (Flat) Stage 3 Base Damage: 5 >>> 6
Player Damage (Flat) Stage 4 Base Damage: 8 >>> 7

Getting to Level 8 will be a bit harder after TFT Patch 16.1, but hitting desired 4-costs will be much more consistent and rewarding.
Going from 8 to Level 9 and 10, will be a bit easier, rewarding you for building a strong Level 8 board.
XP To 8: 48 >>> 60
XP to 9: 76 >>> 68
XP to 10: 84 >>> 68
Shop odds
Making it to Level 8 and 9 will now feel much more comfortable to roll for your desired 4- or 5-costs—just remember to have a bit of gold when you do get there.
Level 8: 17/24/32/24/3% >>> 15/20/32/30/3%
Level 9: 12/18/25/33/12% >>> 10/17/25/33/15%

— Teamfight Tactics (@TFT) November 26, 2025
With Prismatic Traits now mostly (Ionia and Yordle have Augments) reliant on hitting Level 10 with two Emblems, Riot wants to make sure that it is viable to pursue them, so they’re increasing the odds of seeing Spatulas and Pans on Carousels
Stage 2 & 4 Carousel Odds of seeing 1x Spat/Pan: 11% >>> 15%
Stage 2 & 4 Carousel Odds of seeing 3x Spat/Pan: 1% >>> 3%
Stage 3 Carousel Odds of seeing 1x Spat/Pan: 12% >>> 15%
Roles
Last set, Riot removed Assassin from the Roles Revamped rework. But now they’re adding it back with a rework for its extended roster.
Assassins take 15% less damage from all enemies except the current target.
Champion movement
Champions will now begin moving to new hexes slightly faster.
This should resolve occasional issues with champions stuttering when pathing multiple hexes to start attacking their next target, especially at higher movement speeds.
Opening Encounters

— Teamfight Tactics (@TFT) November 28, 2025
New set, new Opening Encounters. Overall, Opening Encounters should have a lower impact than previous sets.
The big swap here is from Wandering Trainer to Ryze’s Emblem Ensemble, which instead of giving you a Golem with three Emblems, simply gives you three random Emblems.
Overall, Wandering Trainer is one of the most popular Opening Encounters, and it has been so since its early Portal versions.
But the amount of impactful RNG there, along with Riot’s move back to two-Emblem Prismatics, would allow for hitting Prismatic Traits too early if Wandering Trainer is kept around.
Swapping to Emblems means players will still have to hit Level 10 to activate any of super super-powerful Prismatic trait breakpoints, while also maintaining the excitement of an Opening Encounter that asks you to adapt your comp so dramatically.
Golden Gala 6.2% Twisted Fate deals out all gold tier Augments this game.
Prismatic Party 4.1% Seraphine turns all Augments to prismatic tier this game.
Prismatic Finale 4.1% Zilean ages the last Augment to be prismatic this game.

Riot is rebalancing Artifacts with the goal of making them less sharp than before, while still being more specific than core items.
Overall, Riot states Artifacts should be more powerful than core items, especially on their preferred users, but less powerful than Radiant Items.
Riot also admits that this may take some time to get right, especially with 100 champions available to cook up powerful combos.
