Viktor, Mel, and Warwick Join TFT’s Arcane Set in Next Update

Teamfight Tactics’ Into the Arcane set, although it was launched just last week, is still undergoing some intriguing changes. As we approach the release of Arcane’s final episodes, the developers have treated fans with a new video announcement. Expect to see some of the show’s pivotal characters making their way into the game shortly. Just a heads up, if you haven’t completed watching the series, the video contains spoilers, so proceed with caution.

For those who’ve already dived into TFT’s 13th set and are big Arcane buffs, you might be wondering why characters like Viktor and Warwick were nowhere to be found. You’re not alone. However, the game’s latest update looks set to clear up that mystery. Shawn Elizabeth Main, the lead designer for set 13, shared in the announcement that Viktor, Mel, and Warwick are joining Into the Arcane as new 6-cost units.

This marks a first for TFT, introducing 6-cost units, and their strength seems to match their hefty price tag. The video gives us a sneak peek into their abilities, capturing all three champions in their ultimate forms from Arcane’s final act. From what we’ve seen, they can single-handedly sway a TFT match in your favor. Balancing that immense power, these units will be extremely rare, showing up only in the later stages of a match—and even then, you might not always encounter them.

The announcement video sheds some light on how the development team managed to balance releasing the set while keeping some units under wraps. It’s fascinating how they’ve crafted these new characters to be as thrilling and impactful in the game as they are in the show.

Fans can look forward to adding these 6-cost units to their arsenal when the next Teamfight Tactics patch rolls out on December 5th.
