TFT Fates Set 4 Champions and Traits

A sneak peek into the new TFT set Fates dropped on August 26th, 2020. Information was given about some of the new champions coming in the update as well as a look into the game's new mechanic. This information is just a taste of what's to come in the new set but offers enough info to dive into!

TFT Set 4 Release Date

Rumors say set 4 is scheduled to be released in patch 10.19 or on September 16th. The Galaxies pass ends on the 15th, so this is more than likely correct. Unfortunately, this update is only coming to PC, and mobile players will have to wait until the full release to get their hands on Fates.

Fate's New Mechanic

Occasionally players will see a “Chosen” Champion in their shop. These characters are already 2-star level, and they will cost 3 times as much as their standard 1-star price. Thankfully, these more expensive champions come with extra bonuses and abilities. 

Chosen Hero Bonuses

One trait (of origin or class) will be “Chosen” and thus count as two of that trait!

Chosen Champions also receive +200 HP and a unique stat bonus. Unique stat bonuses could be one of two options: +500 HP, 35% spell power, and 50 AD or, a 25% reduced mana cost.

Once you buy a Chosen Champion, all others in the shop will disappear. You can only use one chosen at a time.

TFT Set 4 Champions and Traits List

Here's a look at all of the currently known traits and champions that are going to be part of the Fates set. We don't have information on all of bonuses from each trait yet.

Assassin

• Pyke - (2 cost Cultist/Assassin)
• Katarina - (3 cost Warlord/Assassin)

Brawler

• Sylas - (2 cost Moonlight/Brawler)
• Vi - (2 cost Warlord/Brawler)

Cultist

The Cultists are the largest set in TFT with 8 champions. Instead of gaining buffs through synergy, Cultists use their powers to summon the Demon Lord Galio. Adding Cultists will increase Galio's power when summoned. 

• (3): Tyrant Galio
• (6): Demon Lord Galio
• (9): Supreme Overlord Galio

Each new level of Galio greatly increases his stats and gives him new abilities. Supreme Overlord Galio is an ABSOLUTE unit with over 7000 health and 600 AD.

Here's a look at the currently known Cultist champions:

• Elise - (1 cost Cultist/Exemplar)
• Twisted Fate - (1 cost Cultist/Mage)
• Evelynn - (3 cost Cultist/Shade)
• Kalista - (3 cost Cultist/Duelist)
• Aatrox - (4 cost Cultist/Vanguard)

Exemplar

• Jarvan - (2 cost Warlord/Exemplar)
• Kennen - (3 cost Ninja/Exemplar)

Mage

• Twisted Fate - (1 cost Cultist/Mage)

Moonlight

Moonlight is a 3-piece trait, but all of the champions are either 1 or 2 cost. What this means is that players can activate this trait very early in the game. Once activated, this trait will upgrade the lowest level unit on your team by one star! This trait can also be used to access 3-star champions as quickly as possible. The wildest part about this new trait is that it makes 4-star champions available. If a player has all 3-star champions and activates Moonlight, the champion with the most items gets upgraded to 4-star.

Here's a look at the currently known Moonlight champions:

• Diana - (1 cost Moonlight/Assassin)
• Lissandra - (1 cost Moonlight/Dazzler)
• Sylas - (2 cost Moonlight/Brawler)

Ninja

• Kennen - (3 cost Ninja/Exemplar)

Phantasm
