Teamfight Tactics (TFT): How Do Champions Work?

by Falagar / Articles, Teamfight Tactics / 28 Jun 2019

At the start of each round in TFT, you’ll be presented with a randomized selection of champions that you can purchase using gold. These champions vary in cost, abilities, Origins, and classes. Every few rounds, a special carousel round occurs, allowing you to choose a champion from a rotating selection.

How Many Champions Are There?

Currently, there are 50 champions available in Teamfight Tactics. Given that League of Legends features over 100 champions, it’s likely that new champions will rotate into the pool while others rotate out. Although Riot hasn’t provided concrete details, we expect this to be a seasonal feature.

Do Champions Have Abilities?

Yes, every champion in TFT has either an active or passive ability. Active abilities are triggered when a champion’s mana bar is full, after which there is a short cooldown before they can use the ability again. Mana is generated as champions attack enemies.

It’s important to note that champions are subject to “mana lock,” which is the period they cannot gain mana immediately after casting a spell. The default mana lock duration is one second, though some champions may be locked for longer while casting.
