being controlled by aChampions are units in the Teamfight Tactics game mode that fight in arenas to protect the Little Legend. Unlike champions in League of Legends, these units are not directly controllable once placed on the battlefield.

Players can buy, sell, reposition, and equip items on champions as well as upgrade champions.

Champion star level

Champion Star Level
When acquired, a champion starts as a 1-Star. Three of the same 1-Star champion can be combined to create a stronger
2-Star champion. Three of the same 2-star champions can be combined to create an even stronger
3-Star champion.
Champions combine automatically when you have three of the same. The combined champion will automatically appear on your battlefield if one of the original champions is already deployed.
Increasing a champion's star level increases their maximum health and attack damage by a percentage of their 1-star version. Their ability also becomes stronger.

- A champion can hold up to 3 items at a time.

Champion traits
- Main article: List of champions (Teamfight Tactics)
Champions have one origin and one class, with a few exceptions. Satisfying the origin or class conditions grants bonus effects to the entire team or to the champions of the respective origin or class.
Champion statistics and mechanics
Champions have a variety of statistics which increases the champion's strengths.
Health
Health refers to the amount of life a champion has. Champions are removed from combat when their health reaches 0. Slain champions will respawn next round. Health is shown above a champion's head as a green bar that is separated for every 300 health the champion has.
A champion can be healed by items like
or , or by ally abilities, such as .The maximum health of a champion can be increased through equipped items built from maximum health is .
. The only champion that can increase a champion'sSome game elements interact with health.

- restores health every period of time.

- below 50% health. gains damage immunity for a few seconds when they are reduced
Death can be prevented with:
- (Set 1, 2, 3, 3.5 and 4)

Basic attack
Basic attacks are the default attack for champions, they deal physical damage.
- Attack damage is the amount of damage a champion will do with each basic attack.
- Attack speed is measured in attacks per second. All attack speed increases are percentage-based, and affect each champion based on their base attack speed. Attack speed slows are based on total attack speed. Attack speed is capped at 5.0 attacks per second. But the attack speed of a champion can be increased beyond this limit (by buffs from other champions).
- Attack range is measured in hexes.
1 attack range means a champion can only attack enemies in adjacent hexes.
- Basic attacks have a chance to
critically strike to deal 50% bonus damage, determined by critical strike chance. Every champion starts with 25% critical strike chance. The bonus damage is further increased by critical strike damage (which stacks additively).
- Armor reduces the damage taken from physical damage. Armor works using this formula:
Ability
Champions have a unique ability that they can cast once their mana bar is full. Some champions are manaless and instead have a permanent passive effect (for more information, see the mana page). Abilities deal magic damage, with the exceptions of attack-modifiers. On patch V9.15, it was indicated that most ability cast are 0.5 seconds.[1]
- Mana is generated by basic attacking and taking damage.
Spell power increases the potency of a champion's ability. Each point of spell power grants 1% increased ability effect.
- Magic resistance reduces the damage taken from magic damage. Magic resistance works using this formula:
To see the list of champions that deal true damage with their ability, see this page.
The following champions deal physical damage with their ability:
Movement speed
Movement speed refers to the speed at which a champion moves in the arena. Champions have 550 base movement speed. Melee champions move slightly earlier at the start of combat than
ranged champions.
If a champion is in the attack range of their target, and the target moves out of range, the attacker only chases their target for 1 hex before switching to the closest enemy.
Game mechanics
Dodge causes incoming attacks to miss (deal no damage and do not apply spell or item effects).
Grievous Wounds is a debuff that reduces healing on the target for a duration.
- True damage is a type of damage that ignores resistances (armor and magic resistance).
Stealth temporarily makes the target invisible and untargetable.
Crowd controls
Airborne moves the target in a specified direction or to a specific point. For the duration the target is unable to move, declare attacks or cast their ability.
banishes a target for a duration, disabling them. The target is unable to perform any action and cannot be attacked by enemy team for a duration.
temporarily Disarm prevents the target from declaring basic attacks for a duration.
Root prevents the target from moving.
Stun prevents the target from moving, attacking and activating their ability.
Taunt forces the target to attack the source.
Bench
If a player's bench is full, the extra champion gained with a carousel will be sold at the end of Planning phase.
