Deciding when to level or roll is a core mechanic within TFT. Rolling and shop odds, champion pools, and even bag sizes can change with each set. Riot Games made several significant changes to the Magic n’ Mayhem set, from bag sizes and the number of champions at each cost to mana banking. This article provides tips, tables, strategies, and all updated patch note changes for TFT Set 12.

How many champions are in the TFT Set 12 pool?

With every set release, Riot releases a chart detailing everything we need to know about the champion pool set, including drop rates by tier and level. There are a total of 60 champions in Magic n’ Mayhem. Riot added an extra one-cost champion to the pool and increased bag sizes for one, two, and three-cost champions for TFT Set 12.

  • Tier one (14 champions): 30 of each champion in the pool.
  • Tier two (13 champions): 25 of each champion in the pool.
  • Tier three (12 champions): 18 of each champion in the pool.
  • Tier four (12 champions): 10 of each champion in the pool.
  • Tier five (nine champions): Nine of each champion in the pool.

Bag size TFT Set 12 changes

  • 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.
  • Four-cost: Unchanged at 10.

What is Stage player damage in TFT?

A system change through Set 11 adjusted player damage from 0/2/5/7/9/11/17/150 to 0/2/5/8/10/12/17/150. Each numerical value stands for damage per serving enemy at X Stage. In addition to the Stage damage values, surviving enemy damage applies.

Surviving enemy damage is plus one for every enemy champion that survived combat that round. The increase in damage at each stage makes it harder to hit level Nine without a win or loss streak and/or Econ Augments/Charms.

Riot hasn’t announced Set 12 player damage changes at the time of writing.

Tip:

If a player dies, the champions on their board and bench return to the pool.

When to level up in TFT Set 12

In conjunction with the TFT rolling chance chart, each set has a meta that determines the most opportune times to level up and roll down for key units that can make up your endgame comp.

Tip:

Players typically roll at Stages 3-2, 4-1, and 5-1, with variety built into that standard based on win/loss streaks, economy, and power levels of a Teamfight Tactics lobby.

Players still use the same leveling-up strategies from past sets despite the bag changes made for TFT Set 12.

  • Level four: Stage 2-1.
  • Level five: Stage 2-5 or Stage 2-3 if seeking three-cost champions after the carousel.
  • Level six: Stage 3-2.
  • Level seven: Stage 3-5 or 4-1.
  • Level eight: Stage 4-2, 4-5, or 5-1.
  • Level nine: Stage 5-1, 5-5, or 6-1.
  • Level 10: Stage 6-1.
