Silco joins TFT – what bonuses will he give? New pass overview and more

New content will appear in TFT, including a character known from the Arcane animated series.

Rumors that Silco would be released as a League of Legends hero have been around for a long time. Many people believed that the creators would actually decide to take such a step, even if it would be a bit strange plotwise (due to the fate of this character in the series). After a while, it turned out that Silco will actually appear, but not as a playable character on Summoner’s Rift, but as a unit in TFT.

Today it is known what features he will have, what he will provide his team, and who will join him in the new set.

Neon Nights in TFT – Renata, Silco, and more

The new TFT update will bring some interesting units. They are really special because one of them is Renata – the announced hero of League of Legends, who will soon appear on Summoner’s Rift.

There will also be the aforementioned Silco or Zeri – currently the newest character in LoL.

Renata Glasc: Tier 4 Chemtech, Scholar

• Ability – Renata Glasc unleashes a toxic wave towards the largest group of nearby enemies, poisoning all enemies caught in its path for the REST of combat. Poisoned enemies have their attack speed reduced and take a small amount of magic damage each second. Damage from repeat casts of Toxic Wave stack.
• Get out Urgot, there’s a new Chem-Baron in town – Renata Glasc’s ability doesn’t have that long of a range, so position her closer to the frontline than your typical ranged carry. With Morellonomicon she can spread the burn and the poison to the bulk of your foes team. Finally, a Hextech Gunblade should keep her topped off and popping off even when she’s positioned somewhat risky.
• Welcome to Glasc Industries – While Renata Glasc’s ability, Toxic Wave, will look similar to one of her in-game abilities in League of Legends, it will have a different name and entirely different effect. She’ll still be the same viperous, ultra-capitalistic, ultra-Glascy, Chem-Baroness we know and love (or loathe), but she’s working with different Chemtech than what we’ll see in League of Legends, or what we see Silco using in Arcane, or even what we see for purchase from our favorite brands.

Silco: Tier 5 Mastermind, Scholar

• Ability – Silco gives an unstable concoction to his lowest health ally, granting them additional maximum health, a ton of attack speed, and immunity to crowd control for a few seconds. When this insanely powerful buff expires, the concoction ends, causing the unstable unit to die and explode, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies.
• Mastermind– Power, real power, doesn’t come to those who were born strongest, or fastest, or smartest. No. It comes to those who stand directly in front of Silco. With the Mastermind trait, Silco inspires the two allied subordinate champions in front of him, granting them increased mana regeneration.
• Both a Mastermind and a Scholar– With two traits that can increase mana, be sure to combo Silco with champions that can use the extra motivation to stop at nothing to defeat their enemies.
• What did you say– We want Silco to have the impact on the Convergence that he deserves and to do this, he needs a voice over from none other than Jason Spisak who voices Silco in Arcane. But these things take time, and our set release is right around the corner, so we’re shipping Silco’s voice over (VO) during patch 12.7 instead of the release of Neon Nights on patch 12.4. In doing so, we allow for the proper VO production timeline. In the meantime, we will have some temporary sound effects that play when he is bought, upgraded, etc.

Zeri: Tier 5 Debonair, Sniper

• Passive – Zeri’s basic attacks fire a slew of bullets in her enemy’s direction, each dealing a small percentage of her attack damage as physical damage and extra bonus magic damage to the first unit hit.
• Ability – Zeri vaults to her enemy and discharges a nova of electricity, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies and increasing their mana costs before dashing back to her original position. For the next few seconds, her attacks become electrified and pierce.

• VIP bonus – When Zeri is chosen as your VIP from the shop, after she casts her Lightning Nova her attacks become electrified and pierce for the rest of combat.

This is, of course, not the end of the changes. The developers decided to remake the units. Some of them will leave TFT for the benefit of others. You will have to say goodbye, among others with high school students, Samira, Sion, or Twisted Fate.

This is how the new list of units and their characteristics looks like:

• ALSO – Leak of new skins for LoL. Shockblade Kassadin, Qiyana & Shen. Skins for Xayah and Ekko

GIZMOS & GADGETS PASS II AND MORE

For a moment, I thought you might’ve taken the wrong portal and ended up stuck in the past! Let’s get you updated on the future of the Little Legends, Pass, and Hextech Battle and Toxitorium arenas coming in Neon Nights. All this content goes live at 11 a.m. Pacific Time on February 16th (patch 12.4)

The new pass will introduce a huge amount of news. These include, of course, Little Legends, but also new arena skins and emotes. Among the latter, you will find Silco.

PROJECT Abyssia: New Mythic!

We’ve got a new Mythic Little Legend stealing the show during Neon Nights. PROJECT Abyssia is here to flaunt their new tech, and maybe “borrow” some more.

New versions of Fenroar, QiQi, and Lightcharger will appear in the game.

Nixie will also receive a completely new look, which will be an exclusive Little Legend in this pass.

New arena maps:

New emotes:

Neon Nights Bundles

Whether you’re working your way through the Undercity in search of your Oasis, or looking for some high-tech Little Legends to take to the stage of the Hextech Battle Arena, we’ve got new bundles for ya!

• ALSO – Renata – Official presentation of skills directly in the game. We know all the skills

Ranked Rewards and More!

Anyone who achieved at least Gold in the first part of Gizmos & Gadgets will receive the emote in patch 12.4.

And if you managed to hit Blue, Purple, or Hyper tier in Hyper Roll, expect these emotes to roll on in during the mid-set launch as well.

And if you have been playing lots of Double Up, well there’s a chance you’ll be claiming one of the emotes below based upon your rank! Expect these to pop up alongside the rest of the Ranked rewards.

When Neon Nights begins the morning of February 16th, both Hyper Roll and Double Up will reset players at Blue or higher to the bottom of Blue; all others will be unchanged. Additionally, your rank (in standard TFT) will be “soft” reset, which means we lower everyone by one full tier.
