Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering passive.
- Recasting the ability does not.
- The first card shown is random but the order always remains the same (
- Upon activation, an indicator visible to allies and enemies appears above Twisted Fate to show him shuffling his deck of cards while remaining in the same order, the card he can choose at every moment glows over the others. The selected card is specified for the duration of the enhanced attack.
, , , repeat).
- PENDING FOR TEST: The interval until the next card is hovered is 0.528 seconds every time, instead of some times 0.528 and other times 0.495.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away during the empowered attack's cast time, it is cancelled but not consumed.
- The empowered attack will trigger against structures and buildings but not wards.
- Stacked Deck can be dodged and/or missed if Twisted Fate is blinded (the on-hit effect is not consumed in either case) but cannot be blocked (the enhanced attack is consumed and the bonus damage is still applied).
- The empowered attack will trigger against structures but not wards.
- Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and triggering passive.
- Twisted Fate cannot recast Destiny while grounded or rooted.
- The nearsight from will overpower the reveal from Destiny regardless of which one was cast first (enemy champions can still be revealed by Destiny after Paranoia ends if durations permit).
- Using the recast will inform allies with a ping.
- Both allies and enemies can see an indicator at the targeted location of where Twisted Fate will appear.

Twisted Fate is an infamous cardsharp and swindler who has gambled and charmed his way across much of the known world, earning the enmity and admiration of the rich and foolish alike. He rarely takes things seriously, greeting each day with a mocking smile and an insouciant swagger. In every possible way, Twisted Fate always has an ace up his sleeve.
