Teamfight Tactics is back with a brand-new set known as “Magic n’ Mayhem,” launching July 31. This is the auto-battler’s 12th set, which incorporates whimsical elements into its champion skins and traits. For every set, Teamfight Tactics creates unique worlds and storylines often based on existing League of Legends IP, and Magic n’ Mayhem shows another side of magic in League‘s universe.
Magic n’ Mayhem takes place in the Magitorium, a guild where all sorts of magic are welcome and a place where champions who’ve mastered magic prove their worth through experimentation. Players can experience all the spells and chaos as they build the best Teamfight Tactics comps based on the champions’ unique traits.
Teamfight Tactics Gets Whimsical With Set 12 Champion Traits
Teamfight Tactics‘ Magic n’ Mayhem pulls a lot of inspiration from different types of magic in various media. Teamfight Tactics set lead Sam Judd said that they wanted to think outside the box to come up with more unexpected brands of magic, like Sugarcraft and Honeymancy, while also exploring fan-favorite League of Legends skinlines to match the traits.
Portal
When this trait is active, a portal opens up at the side of the board that periodically summons objects from different dimensions. The objects range from disruptive debris to items that can help allies. These also become more powerful as Portal units’ star levels increase.
Dragon
Making a comeback from Teamfight Tactics Dragonlands, Dragon champions have the ability to burn and wound their targets for five seconds. They can also get a significant upgrade when all three dragons are fielded.
Honeymancy
This trait allows Honeymancers to summon a swarm of bees that deal a small portion of the units’ damage dealt as magic damage every three seconds. If a Honeymancer dies, their bees will attach to another Honeymancer to help them in battle. Honeymancy is also inspired by one of the most popular League of Legends skins, Bees.

Pyro
This trait grants Pyro champions with attack speed and the ability to execute low-health enemies. The increased attack speed also gives them the ability to ignite any enemy with each attack.
Sugarcraft
Sugarcrafters use baking magic to deal enemy damage and stack layers onto a delicious cake, with each layer increasing units’ bonus AP and AD. They also have increased AP and AD when the trait is activated, and they collect more sugar for each equipped item component attached to units. It’s quite similar to
- Soraka
- Rumble
- Bard
- Jinx
- Gwen
Chrono
At the start of combat, a 16-second countdown starts, and Chrono champions gain 15 AP. Once the countdown is complete, they gain a powerful bonus. Their cast also speeds up the countdown by one second, so it’s important to prioritize mana and attack speed items for them. The Chrono trait also marks Teamfight Tactics‘ large-scale collaboration with League of Legends: Wild Rift, which has the exclusive Stargazer Camille skin.

Druid
Wukong is the only Druid champion of this set. He gains bonus armor and magic resistance from all sources, making him a strong and tanky front liner. He also has a Cyclone ability that makes him spin to deal physical damage that scales with his defenses.
