This year, the Festival of Beasts is back for Lunar Revel in Teamfight Tactics (TFT). Whether you’re a newcomer or a returning player, exciting surprises await as you dive into this beloved classic.
Understanding the Chosen Mechanic
The Chosen mechanic lets players encounter specific units every fourth shop, even if they already have them. If you acquire a Chosen unit, it comes at a 2-star level right away, but you need to sell the older version first.
Here’s how Chosen units work:
You won’t get the same traits on repeat offers.
If you skip a Chosen unit, it won’t appear again for a few rounds.
If you have too many high-cost units, you’ll be locked out of seeing that Chosen unit.
Three copies must remain in the pool for a Chosen unit to show up.
The rules ensure strategy and variety, making each game feel fresh.
New Augments to Boost Gameplay
This revival introduces engaging Augments that mix up your strategy. Some highlights include:
Growing Roots: Elderwood units gain health based on their stability.
The Fabled One: Wukong becomes a Fabled unit with enhanced power.
Cult’s Offerings: Earn health for Galio when your gold surpasses 40.
There are more surprises waiting in-game, so jump into the revival to explore them all.
Unique Opening Encounters Await
The revival also brings exclusive Opening Encounters, adding new layers of fun. You can expect:
Carousel of Vitality for quick loot.
Off To The Races, a guessing game for rewards.
Fireworks Show for collecting useful items.
Growing Prosperity for better items each stage.
Year of the Horse for special bonuses as you play.
Plus, the Revival Ladder returns, offering rewards like Realm Crystals and exclusive borders for those who climb it. Grab your friends—or even enemies—and get ready for an exciting time in the Convergence!
