Breakpoints for the Set 12 Faerie trait are 2/4/6/9. Hitting the Prismatic nine breakpoint requires two craftable Emblems. Faerie Emblems are also acquired through Crest and Crown TFT Set 12 Augments. Faerie units gain health and damage amplification that increases at each breakpoint.

  • Two: 100 health and 25 percent damage amplification
  • Four: 300 health and 34 percent damage amplification
  • Six: 500 health and 44 percent damage amplification
  • Nine: 1,000 health, 75 percent damage amplification, and a second Crown.

Activating the Faerie trait in Set 12 grants you a Faerie Crown. The TFT champion equipped with a Faerie Crown then becomes the Queen. When the Queen casts, all Faerie units gain 20 percent of the mana spent on the Queen’s cast.
