Arcane’s Silco and League’s Renata Glasc are headed to Teamfight Tactics

polygon.com:

After weeks of teasing hints (or months, in the case of Silco), the details for the big 6.5 mid-set Teamfight Tacticsoverhaul are here, and it promises to be one of the biggest mid-set adjustments yet. TFT is adding more than 20 new units, more than 80 new augments, and tinkering with a whole lot more to keep the game fresh, Riot Games confirmed Tuesday.

Among the more exciting changes are the addition of Arcane’s Silco, the first TFT unit to come from somewhere other than League of Legends, and Renata Glasc, League’s newest champion. Also among the new faces are Alistar and Corki, making their first-ever appearances in TFT. That leaves Rammus as the only League champion never to appear in a TFT set.

But it’s not just who is getting added: Plenty of Set 6 mainstays are being removed, including ever-present units like Akali, Janna, Kog’Maw, Sion, Urgot, Yone and Yuumi. There will also be a new item to replace Guardian Angel, a matchup tracking system previously left only to third-party app overlays, and much more.

The mid-set, dubbed Neon Nights, is live on Teamfight Tactics’ Public Beta Environment, and will go live with patch 12.4 on February 16.

Let’s get the two big-ticket ones out of the way first.

Renata will be a four-cost Chemtech Scholar. Her ability will send a “toxic wave towards the largest group of nearby enemies,” poisoning all enemies hit by it for the rest of combat. The poison effect will reduce attack speed and do damage over time.

Silco will be a five-cost Mastermind Scholar. His ability will grant health, attack speed, and immunity to crowd control to his lowest health ally for a few seconds. Unfortunately for that unit, it explodes and dies immediately after the effect runs out. Allying with Silco
