DEV DROP
- Gifts of the Golden Lantern event, new Tacticians, mid-set announcement, and what’s that off in the distance!?!?!?!? Okay—this dev drop is hype.
GIFTS OF THE GOLDEN LANTERN EVENT
- Each year, Tacticians from all over the Convergence come together to celebrate during the Lunar Legend Festival. From this patch to the end of patch 12.3 (Feb 15th), we’re invited to join them in a new TFT Event, Gifts of the Golden Lantern, where we’ll gather the perfect gift for each of our favorite Tacticians, help them solve riddles, and light lanterns—oh, and we’ll also get some gifts for ourselves along the way! Read more about the event here!
NEW TACTICIANS AND MORE!
- For a detailed breakdown of all the new Tacticians (and more), click it here—I mean here—no wait, the first one was right. Actually they both are.
- The Lunar Legend Festival party-goers are here, but are you?
- Catch the Lunar Legend Festival Duckbill variants below: Most Festive Duckbill, Jade Dragon Duckbill, Lunar Scholar Duckbill, Firecracker Duckbill, and Mischief Maker Duckbill.
- You can directly purchase these festive Duckbill(s) from the shop (925 RP), or find them in a Festival Firecracker anytime you wanna Duckbill and chill.
- Roll through the new Dango variants hitting the store below: Porcelain Dango, Lucky Lantern Dango, Firecracker Dango, Lion Dancer Dango, and Fiercest Dango!
- Dango is available to roll down and around with by direct purchase (925 RP) or as a drop via a Festival Firecracker.
- Check out the Dowsie’s festive variants below: Porcelain Dowsie, Fortune Dowsie, Lucky Noodle Dowsie, Extra Spicy Dowsie, and Sweet Petal Dowsie!
- Hungry for hot pot? Then go get some, but if you want Dowsie you can find them in a Festival Firecracker or get your favorite via direct purchase (925 RP).
- Looking to cause some trouble? Chibi Firecracker Jinx is our first Chibi Champion with a skin, hence her status as a rare drop in any Festival Firecracker (490 RP). We also have two bundles full of Festival Firecrackers and much more that you can read about below. To get her boom, the Super Mega Firecracker boom, you’ll have to opt for the Megabundle that’ll also give you loads more content, including the Golden Tiger Market! But even if you aren’t going to be buying Festival Firecrackers or bundles, you’ll have a chance at getting Chibi Firecracker Jinx just by participating in the Gifts of the Golden Lantern event, which offers a free Festival Firecracker in addition to quite a bit more content.
- And now that the Festival’s trouble maker has been introduced, let’s talk about it’s protector, Year of the Tiger Protector. You can recognize Year of the Tiger Protector’s greatness only by obtaining them as a rare drop through the purchase of 2022 Year of the Tiger Eggs (390 RP), of which you can get 31 of in the Year of the Tiger Egg Bundle for the price of 25. Read more about our bundles and reach rewards here.
- Finally, the Golden Tiger Market! With its own music, entry animations, custom gold mine, and friendly dragons, Golden Tiger Market is the place to be during the Lunar Legend Festival. I’d say more, but I’d rather just show you.
- With the most bells and whistles (Firecrackers and festivities?) in any arena to date, the Golden Tiger Market is available only through the Lunar Legend Festival 2022 Megabundle. To explore the loads of content to be found at the market and in the Megabundle just keep scrolling.
