All values have been updated following Riot Mort recent rundown on Youtube.
Original Article
Following the addition of Lucian, Senna, Amumu and the new Soulbound class in Teamfight Tactics, two new champions and their new Origin are going to enter the Convergence.
Already present in Set 1, Leona is signing her big comeback and Karma is joining her side! Both of her will bring the power of the moon into TFT!
Lunar, the brand new Origin
Lunar
(2) → Every 7 seconds, your team gains 15% Critical Strike Chance, 15% Critical Strike Damage, and 10% Spell Power (Stacks up to 4 times).
Two new champions
Leona
Cost: 1
Origin: Lunar
Class: Warden
HP: 350/1170/2106
Armor: 40
AD: 50/90/162
Mana: 50/100
Ability: Lunar Barrier
Leona reduces all damage by 40/90/140 for 5 seconds.
Karma
Cost: 3
Origin: Lunar
Class: Mystic
HP: 600/1080/1944
Armor: 20
AD: 50/90/162
AS: 0.7
Mana: 75/100
Ability: Inspire
At the start of combat, Karma tethers to her closest ally. Karma shields the tethered ally (or a random one if the tether is dead) for 5 seconds, absorbing the next 250/400/800 damage. While the shield holds, the ally receives 60/70/80% bonus Attack Speed.
With such a trait effect, Lunar champions should easily find their place into most compositions, offering another way to bring a 'small' synergy comparable to Desert.
Since Karma is also Mystic, while Leona is a Warden, these two new champions are actually a big change brought to the game. However, their addition asks new questions.
Is this a gentle way to announce that Aphelios might also be implemented into Teamfight Tactics?
Should we expect more traits and champions to come?
Teamfight Tactics Patch 9.24 notes: Preseason ends with a few balance changes
Rise of the Elements still feels a bit unbalanced and, before the end of the year, Riot is bringing some quick balance changes to make sure their new set is going to bring harmony into the Convergence.
