The Teamfight Tactics Magic n’ Mayhem set is bringing 27 new and upgraded trait abilities, from the return of Dragons and trait-specific items to awakened Gods and Bees. It’s a lot to keep track of, so here’s every TFT Set 12 trait.
How do traits work in TFT Set 12?
Traits in TFT provide effects and abilities to specific champions or your team. An individual champion may have a trait no other champs have, which in TFT Set 12 are five-cost units. Champions may also have more than one trait assigned to them too.
Traits with multiple champions have breakpoints. A breakpoint determines when the trait activates, turning on its abilities and effects. Power levels of trait abilities and effects will increase at higher breakpoints.
Trait abilities and effects in TFT Set 12 are subject to change before Magic n’ Mayhem drops onto live servers. I’ll update any PBE balance changes before the new set goes live.
All TFT Set 12 verticle traits in Magic n’ Mayhem
Set 12 has eight verticle TFT traits. A verticle trait has breakpoints above six, allowing you to build an endgame comp with champions from one specific trait if you want. The benefit of these verticle traits is that bonus abilities get stronger at each breakpoint. Verticle traits are also the easiest to learn at the start of a new set.
