Having a sweet tooth pays off with the Teamfight Tactics Sugarcraft trait in Set 12’s Magic n’ Mayhem. With this trait, players can earn Sugar through components to complete a cake and receive Loot Orbs.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Sugarcraft trait in TFT.
What TFT Set 12 champions have the Sugarcraft trait?
Five TFT Set 12 champions have the Sugarcraft trait, of which two are three-cost units. Rumble and Bard have two additional traits but none of the five champions share a trait outside of Sugarcraft.
| Set 12 Sugarcraft champion | Champion cost | Other traits | Spell ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soraka | One-cost | Mage | Soraka deals magic damage to adjacent enemies through falling stars. Soraka heals a nearby ally, increased if they’re below 50 percent health. |
| Rumble | Two-cost | Blaster and Vanguard | Rumble gains damage reduction and fires a cone, dealing magic damage for three seconds. Rumble also Wounds the enemy for five seconds. |
| Bard | Three-cost | Scholar and Preserver | Bard sends a missile at a target that bounces four times between enemies dealing magic damage to enemies hit. Enemies also take 10 percent more damage for four seconds. |
| Jinx | Three-cost | Hunter | Jinx gains 125 percent decaying attack speed with her attacks dealing bonus true damage for four seconds. Takedowns refresh this effect for three seconds. |
| Gwen | Warrior | Four-cost | Passive: For every two casts, Gwen gains a Snip stack. Active: Gwen dashes and Snips twice plus once for every Snip stack. Each Snkp deals magic damage in a cone. |
Most TFT Set 12 comps will likely run two Sugarcraft champions over four unless the goal is to hit six to maximize loot payout Orbs. Gwen is the four-cost premier carry, while Soraka is a support champion. Rumble, Bard, and Jinx are backline units. The Sugarcraft build was one of the more popular comps during PBE testing and it will be interesting to see how it carries over to the TFT Set 12 ranked ladder.
All Sugarcraft trait TFT Set 12 breakpoints and abilities
Breakpoints for the Sugarcraft trait in Set 12 are 2/4/6. Hitting the breakpoint of six requires a Sugarcraft Emblem. Sugar is gained for each component, increasing at each breakpoint. Breakpoints also grant ability power and attack damage that increases at higher breakpoints.
- Two: Two Sugar per component, plus 15 ability power and attack damage
- Four: Four Sugar per component, plus 30 ability power and attack damage
- Six: Six Sugar per component, plus 50 ability power and attack damage
Slamming components and items matters with the Sugarcraft trait as each component adds Sugar, which is used to build a cake on the side of the TFT arena board. Completing layers of the cake increases team stats. The cake has seven layers, granting loot treats upon completion.
How Sugarcraft layer points work
Every Sugar gained is added to the cake being built on the TFT Set 12 board when the trait is active. The goal is to get to layer seven and above as quickly as possible. Here’s how many Sugar points are needed for each layer of the Sugarcraft trait cake.
- Layer one: Zero points
- Layer two: 15 Sugar points
- Layer three: 45 Sugar points
- Layer four: 125 Sugar points
- Layer five: 250 Sugar points
- Layer six: 400 Sugar points
- Layer seven: 600 Sugar points
- Layer eight: 950 Sugar points
- Layer nine: 1,325 Sugar points
- Layer 10: 1,750 Sugar points
- Layer 11: 2,200 Sugar points
What are the TFT Set 12 Sugarcraft loot tables?
After reaching layer seven of the cake, loot is provided for your TFT Sugarcraft trait team. And it’s the kind of loot that can win games. The cake also provides buffs through snacks that are flung at your units, granting more health and attack speed.
Here are the Sugarcraft loot drops from layers seven to 11 in Set 12.
- Layer seven: 10 gold and one component
- Layer eight: One component, a Golden Remover, and 15 gold
- Layer nine: 10 gold, a Champion Duplicator, and two components
- Layer 10: 20 gold and a Radiant Masterwork
- Layer 11: Cake combat buffs through snacks and a Tactician’s Crown
Econ traits were removed from TFT Set 12 but the gold received from playing a vertical Sugarcraft build is hard to ignore. Rolling for four and five-cost champions is hard during the late-game stages. Running Sugarcraft can help provide the gold you need to win lobbies consistently.
