Leading up to the launch of Teamfight Tactics Set 11, Dot Esports got to pick the brains of game director Peter Whalen and set lead designer Lynda Tang to discuss the new Inkborn Fables Encounter mechanic, the return of Fortune as an Econ trait, and more.
The launch of TFT Set 11 is a special one, especially coming off the heels of Set 10. This is the second set for the autobattler that features the upgraded release schedule. Set 10 made TFT history by including individual music tracks into every trait, while Set 11 Inkborn Fables introduced a new mechanic called Encounters. The TFT team also added over 100 new Augments to Set 11, including the return of trait-specific Augments, and a returning trait called Fortune found its way into Inkborn Fables, showcasing a new approach to the Econ trait.
