Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is undergoing a magical transformation with the release of Set 12, titled Magic n’ Mayhem, as detailed in the latest TFT Patch 14.15 notes. This new set introduces a variety of changes, including a new Charm mechanic, adjustments to existing systems, and an expanded roster of champions and traits.
Charm mechanic and system changes in TFT Patch 14.15
The standout feature of Set 12 is the introduction of Charms, which offer temporary effects similar to Augments. However, unlike Augments, Charms only last for one player round and are purchased through the Shop rather than selected from an Armory. These Charms occupy the last slot in the Shop every other roll-down, effectively reducing the number of available champions.

Players can purchase Charms to prevent them from taking up more champion slots, especially useful for those running Reroll compositions. The power and cost of Charms scale with the game’s progression, categorized into four tiers, each with different roll-down odds.
A significant change in Set 12 is the introduction of mana banking, where leftover mana from a champion’s ability now carries over instead of resetting. This change enhances items like Spear of Shojin, making them more valuable. Additionally, the game has rebranded damage reduction to ‘durability’ and damage amplification to ‘evergreen.’
Shop and bag adjustments in TFT Patch 14.15
The balance team has made crucial adjustments to shop odds and bag sizes to better align with the new gameplay mechanics:
- One-cost bag size: Increased from 22 to 30
- Two-cost bag size: Increased from 20 to 25
- Three-cost bag size: Increased from 17 to 18
These changes aim to smooth out the champion acquisition process, particularly in the early stages of the game. Notably, there are no changes to the four and five-cost bag sizes.
PBE balance changes leading up to TFT Patch 14.15
During the testing phase on PBE servers, seven patch notes were released, fine-tuning various aspects of Set 12, including champions, traits, Charms, and Augments. Unlike previous sets, no major surprises emerged during the testing phase, suggesting a more stable transition to live servers.
Champion, trait, and Augment updates in TFT Set 12
To aid players in navigating the new set, TFT Patch 14.15 notes provide comprehensive cheat sheets covering the updated stats and effects of champions, traits, and Augments. These guides are essential for players looking to master the new mechanics and strategies introduced in Magic n’ Mayhem.
Notable balance considerations
While the overall balance is expected to remain consistent from the PBE to live server release, minor adjustments will be made through an A-patch. According to game designer Mortdog, this patch will address some issues but will not include any sweeping changes.
Preparing for battle in TFT Set 12
With the release of TFT Set 12 and Patch 14.15, players can expect a fresh and challenging experience. The introduction of Charms and the reworked mana system are just a few of the exciting changes on the horizon. As always, staying informed with the latest TFT Patch Notes and using available cheat sheets will be crucial for success in the evolving meta.
