In every set,Teamfight Tacticsintroduces new mechanics that help make matches more interesting and exciting. For its 12th set, Magic n' Mayhem, Riot Games is hammering down on the fun, whimsical elements of the set to attract both newbies and experiencedTeamfight Tacticsplayers. One of them is the new Charms mechanic, which will test the magical mastery of tacticians.
Charms are essentially single-use purchasable spells that appear in every other shop and replace one unit slot. It’s similar to how players acquire Heimerdinger’s Turret upgrades inTeamfight TacticsRuneterra Reforged(Set 9). The mechanic goes well with the theme of Magic n' Mayhem, which spotlights traits like Witchcraft and Honeymancy. Additionally,Teamfight Tacticsgame designer Matt Dunn and senior manager for game product management Alex Cole said that playing Charms “can be very intuitive for new players,” while also being “strategically deep” for experienced players who are building powerful late-game boards.
How Does Teamfight Tactics Magic n' Mayhem’s Charms Work?
Teamfight TacticsMagic n' Mayhem features over 100 Charms, each having different magical effects that range from giving buffs to allies to disrupting enemy actions. Just like champions, Charms also get more powerful and expensive as matches progress and levels get higher, which is helpful during late-game battles. Cole and Dunn also noted that using Charms “feel like you’re actually slinging magical abilities in tense duels,” especially if players are trying to one-up their opponents using the best Charms possible.
Here’s a rundown of some Charms that players can encounter inTeamfight TacticsMagic n' Mayhem:
Charms Can Shift the Teamfight Tactics Magic n' Mayhem Meta in a Big Way
Compared topreviousTeamfight Tacticsmechanicslike portals and Hero Augments, Charms are a quick and effective way to improve players' teams. Those that provide combat and defense buffs can be game-changing when players find them in the shop and activate them at the right time, possibly giving them the advantage they need as their game progresses. It will also be interesting to see the magical combinations thatTeamfight Tacticsfans will come up with using Charms. Of course, obtaining the right Charms in every other shop can also be a gamble, so it’s still important to set up a strong board with high-level champions with synergized traits and equip the best items.
