Into The Arcane has received its fifth update! Read on to learn about all the changes that have gone live on Wednesday in Teamfight Tactics.
In a Nutshell
It's been two weeks since the Festival of Beasts revival set has come online, but don't forget about Into The Arcane! Set 13 has received its fifth update, and it's a fairly sizable one.
The most notable change is possibly the total removal of the Chem Baron Emblem. It's no longer an item at all, so you can neither find it nor craft it any longer. Additionally, Chem Baron 7 has been removed, and the Trait has been adjusted a bit to account for these rather large changes. If you're not a Chem Baron fan, that's great news! If you are, well, time will tell just how debilitating this change really is.
Several 4-costs have been buffed at higher star levels, including Ambessa, Garen, and Twitch. With the buffs to the former two and a general buff to Emissary, it might be a good time to try that Trait out if you haven't yet! It can slot nicely into any non-vertical comp as it grants bonuses that are a boon for any team comp!
