Magic has taken over the Teamfight Tactics convergence with 60 champions in TFT Set 12, Magic n’ Mayhem.
Riot added one additional one-cost champion to the Magic n’ Mayhem set, increasing the champions in the tier from 13 to 14. No additional champions were added to the other tiers but major changes were applied to bag pool sizes for TFT Set 12. Reroll should be a viable comp option in conjunction with Fast-nine four-cost carriers. AP champions can now bank mana from items like Spear of Shojin, where the extra mana disappeared during previous sets. And don’t sleep on the power of Charms.
Items are subject to change as the meta develops. Some champions don’t have items, like tanks because any tank item will work, or I’m still lacking solid information. Here’s every TFT Set 12 champion, their abilities, best-in-slot items (for now), and what type of carry they are.
