Twisted Fate
GameplayTwisted Fate is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- The initial cast counts as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- Recasting the ability does not.
- The first card shown is random but the order always remains the same ( Blue Card, Red Card, Gold Card, repeat).
- 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.
- 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 not trigger against buildings nor wards.
- The second cast's name is Gate.
- Both casts count as ability activations for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade and stacking Force Pulse.
- Twisted Fate cannot recast Destiny while grounded or rooted.
- The nearsight from Paranoia 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.
- The following table refers for interactions while Twisted Fate is channeling:

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.
