Set 13: Missing Units and Dubious Speculations!

[@RapidTFT]

A few more insights based on the new tft trailer: -Finn maybe? -> silco is playing with his lighter -sevika will get a new arm at some point in the series so maybe in tft as well -the blackrose lady maybe as a unit? blackrose plays major role in the trailer -blackrose opened a candy shop -twitch kills whisker -choncc becomes a firelight

[@PiriyapanBEGo]

nami -> mel cause why tf is nami in this set

[@snakeinabox7220]

Mel isn't quite a emmesery. Well not as much as her mother. I believe they will just add them instead of replaceing them. There are some gaps in traits. It would make sense to add a few units.

[@hungngo7519]

let's take a guess that Mel is gonna be a 5 cost unit, since I saw her unique trait called "banished mage". u can look for more details/hints in one of the latest vids on BigBadBear channel!

[@Supalapaaa]

Emmisary units is just some random from another region with ambessa as a core

[@vanhieutran9150]

Morde-> mel

[@101shaymin]

Emissarys are based off the champions play style that fits their lore. Nami is the champion that has mage abilities that supports her allies. Tristana would be the one that's off putting for the role....

[@KingXamer]

Changing Jayce to his arcane survivor skin would make a lot of sense too

[@RapidTFT]

agreed! maybe even give him a corrupted trait?

[@Markoolgel]

Mel is suposed to be a 5 cost, there was some dataminers showing a unique trait for her as a develop name "miss mage", her unique trait has an icon that is really similar to mel and protects you from dying if she casts 12 times before and gain damage amp after. Is more likely that new champions will be added and the traits expanded than swap already show champions. As for Warwick he would fit perfectly as a Experiment - Watcher - Quickstriker, sharing watcher with his past self, as the girls also do.

[@skyduncan7898]

yea mort already confirm they will be adding more units later

[@RapidTFT]

ouhhh this one is spicey ty for sharing

[@aggelakoss4081]

just a thought on this, Mel Medarda and "Miss Mage" have the same initials,so its basically guaranteed

[@paulandersbullecer3152]

Miss mage feels like a spoiler. Does this mean she manages to free the black rose with magic?

[@im_jayare]

@@paulandersbullecer3152we don’t know how she gets freed yet(my guess would be with whatever that gold like glow was after she found out her brother was just a mirage), but we do see her back with the gang in Piltover for a split second in the Act 3 trailer. So she does escape from them somehow!

[@kleddiecute]

If they bait us all and just replace units i will go insane

[@RapidTFT]

same. we can be insane togetha

[@miikatenkula6356]

Mort in his first or second Set 13 gameplay video says "Man, the things we'll be able to show once Arcane/Act 1 or 2 finishes..." and he also kept repeating "Malzahar stays till the end of the set, right?". Especially in his 8 Visionary video so its a 100% certainty that some units will be replaced or more added.

[@RapidTFT]

itll happen im sure. Malz is a good funny cook by the team then if you think about it :D also his ability beeing infinite???

[@FlutterSwag]

i really hope this is a thing for sets going forward and not just arcane, even a couple new units helps keep the set feeling fresh (like when they turned urgot from a threat into a star guardian)

[@RapidTFT]

@FlutterSwag for fun patches sure brought mor fun into the game. And honestly with that set length it's nice having a midset. Although they said set revivals will be more likely and it's understandable that they can't do both.

[@Alan-TFT]

Since Warwick has Vander's mind in arcane, that might be a direct swap Victor will replace Malzahar. then mortdog gets to do some funny acting about being so close to Mazahar 5 cost. Having 4 firelight wouldn't be crazy. It would be on the same power level as 4 quickstriker.

[@RapidTFT]

i read and i agreed

[@tylercunanan8255]

I see that ww/vander will gain experiment as a trait. or i see ww being experiment 5 cost

[@RapidTFT]

@@tylercunanan8255 ouhhhh experiment 5 cost would be a good one i think

[@Alan-TFT]

This new content is a glorious evolution

[@jockey7069]

Mel, WW, Victor, had an answer in mort's stream which was "no spoilers or in other words "we don't know"" took that as a yes. i's just too obvious i think, don't need to speculate when one of the MAIN characters of the show aren't in the set based on the show

[@RapidTFT]

ahh okay thank you for the input :D

[@strumdrache]

Yea they def gonna do it like you said i mean it makes sense that they would release them later in the set

[@RapidTFT]

that means i aint hyped for no reason right????

[@strumdrache]

@RapidTFT yea but i think that thdy gonna release them later i think at like the middle between 13 and 13.5

[@strumdrache]

About the things on the spear thats prob kanecic rogern since thats a magic protection shield

[@RapidTFT]

ohhh thats a good catch!!!

[@4givenoxygenbarez]

isha doing the same ability cruel devil teemo had on one of the set: if it is the only unit left on the board with enemy unit (1v1; they can even make it a 2v1 to add more spice and it fits lore )

[@RapidTFT]

lmao that would be... cruel xD but epic!

[@Abyssionknight]

Considering the fact Mort has constantly been saying how balanced this set will be on release, even before it was on pbe, I don't expect them to suddenly add more champions at launch without giving them any pbe testing. It'd be ballsy but also kind of stupid balance wise. I could see them essentially just doing a model swap though. Like replacing Mundo with Warwick (both heal, warwick is kind of a dominator, and going from 2->4 makes more sense than 2->3), or Malz with Viktor. That kind of change is thematically cool, without breaking game balance at all.

[@RapidTFT]

you deff have a point. Personally am still nudged by how he said we are so far ahead and that teh dev drop emntioned the (glorious) evolution of this set

[@tsumikiahri]

what if... orianna was the one to replace malzahar and not viktor? idk but it makes so much more sense to me since she is literally a robot and viktor at this point, we know he is not just hextec robot or anything like that... brother IS THE arcane at this point of the series now (nothing against viktor, he also would be so cool as a 5 cost! ) also... WHY IS JANNA NOT IN THIS SET TOO 😭 THIS WOMAN LITERALLY WAS MENTIONED 3 TIMES OR SO! SHE EVEN HAD A MURAL!!

[@RapidTFT]

one can dream about janna. :P i think ori is a bit unlikely unfortunatly because that would also need the series to progress in a way where wed see her mechanized version? Again unlikely but possible?

[@averagescrub3235]

Mort has been really cryptic about this stuff himself, saying he wont really talk much about it until the show is all out so hopefully next weekend we get a reveal of more characters showing up.

[@RapidTFT]

yes we must wait patiently after all this was just me speculating :P

[@clashcrafter]

i always thought the birdmask firelight was skye. if not, i don't see why they'd add her later. but if she is, she wouldn't really be a firelight anymore.

[@RapidTFT]

ohh thats also an interesting take and a nice touch for sure. i wonder if it was like taht how we would get to know

[@axelushiromiya]

I do think they will add warwick and viktor since in league where all characters in the aram piltover/zaun map had the arcane skins only viktor and ww had their original looks since they are waiting for arcane to finish on sunday to avoid spoilers, i also wish to see Mel sharing jayces trait as a nice easter egg

[@RapidTFT]

maybe jayce and mell or jayce and vick get a trait augment ?

[@Massivewoofles]

sooo about Isha....

[@RapidTFT]

shhhhhhhhhh....

[@Sar0n_thepolishguy]

The Jesus on thumbnail (also another day waiting for Powder carry with anomally)

[@RapidTFT]

viktor said no poweder im sarreh

[@viriditymoon1523]

warwick will come in as an experiment watcher. i also think he'll have a unique 5 cost trait. viktor will just replace malzahar. experiment feels really lackluster and i assume it's because it's balanced around ww coming in. the rest? i dont know.

[@RapidTFT]

it would be a good fit but would they jump so far in story?

[@schnader]

I feel like they'll be doing a midset for this one. Replacing characters with already existing units feels like a tough thing to nail down. I highly doubt they'll be adding extra traits (except for some of the 5* units having their exclusive traits). It also makes a lot of sense for champs like Jayce to have their visuals/mechanic changed to fit his role in Arcane's new season, which includes his new skin.

[@RapidTFT]

agreed :D

[@ElNahu111]

Maybe also Jayce gets a new trait? Either that or that becomes an augment like the other duos. Arcane duo for Jayce and Viktor.

[@RapidTFT]

a corrupted arcane version would be cool indeed :D

[@EnigmataFollower]

They will add all of it in 13.5 once everything is solved in act 3

[@RapidTFT]

i hope they have some changes during launch tomorrow honestly but i know thats not very likely ^^

[@Stella-fk4jj]

I thought we’re not doing .5’s anymore?

[@FlutterSwag]

mel, viktor, and warwick, maybe even Janna??? but also Jayce's legendary isnt in the set but his base form i think we will see him change into arcane survivor jayce, Also Rictus (pantheon looking dude) played a big role and im surprised he isnt in the set (edit: FINALLY someone else that wants him!!)

[@RapidTFT]

@@FlutterSwag i agree with all of that except Janna is probably unlikely. WHERE IS OUR BOY RICTUS!!!!

[@Lucas-td4fi]

what if we use an anomaly to summon viktor? type replacing the part above the anomaly

[@RapidTFT]

as in a seperate anomaly that you can roll for?

D: i published with notification i checked. you can also get a ping on DC once it goes public :D

[@TK621why]

Unique traits that would fit WW, Viktor and Mel were all data mined soooo.... (I do agree Mel doesnt fit anywhere though so probably shes akin to Wukong in set 12)

@@RapidTFT haha I've just spent 10mins going through my reddit history someone posted a link jn the comments but if you type in Mel Arcane icon leak/datamine you should find it, her trait is called banished mage, and Viktors was in there too (Machine Herald)

i have some hope that they swap some units in when it goes on live server... i mean maybe the just dont wanted to spoiler ?

Why wouldn't mel be lb, like I don't get lb being here honestly, correct me if I'm mistaken anywhere

[@pattynoFriends]

lore wise. LeBlanc is the leader of the black rose. . .

i think she could be a 5 cost even blackrose sorcerer but replacing LB would be wild her beeing the leader and all

Why's singed a 1 cost AAAAA

[@RapidTFT]

too many crimes agains wildlife i suppose

[@zachdogggaming]

It may sound insane, but I almost think the academy trait will be 100% replaced with a new one. TFT trailer today showed a corrupted Jayce, not the one currently on the PBE, which really only leaves hiemer from arcane, whos whereabouts are currently unknown. Fully rplacing that trait would give a ton of flexibility with new units, and I feel like its possible, its a pretty simple trait as is.

[@RapidTFT]

@@zachdogggaming ima go watch good call but the trait itself feel really good. Would be a shame

[@HasturGold]

Orianna? another Automata or swaps out for one of the existing ones (possibly Malz) but she definitely makes it in given Singed's daughter

[@hellomtfkers]

I hope you are righ, because some chapions doesnt fits the set at all

[@RapidTFT]

and some are definitly missing wouldnt you say?

[@jonaspersson5626]

Edit: there are 60 champs in set 13 so would be weird to add more since set 11 and 12 also were 60. Maybe 6-costs or exchanges?? Excluding ww and viktor would be bonkers, maybe they’re SO SIGNIFICANT that they are some special type of units?? Great video!!! I feel that exchanges feel unlikely, but maybe that’s precisely why it would be so so cool if they did it? Otherwise, a thing i reacted on this set is that set 12 had 8 traits/classes that had 7+ units in the game meanwhile 13 only has 6… Did anyone compare number of champions??

[@RapidTFT]

i think that makes exchanges and maybe even trait revamps more likely doenst it. god my lvl of anticipation is too high for teh launch xD

[@kylhe]

hi dood w video

[@RapidTFT]

thx dood w comment :D

[@zeyordk2140]

orianna??

[@RapidTFT]

could be could be but unlikely unless we see her in act 3?

@ i hope to see her as Singed’s daughter, but i'm not sure if it will happen. if it does, it would be wonderful😭😭😭

[@leogun8959]

they cant release mel because she got leaked as summoner's rift hero

[@RapidTFT]

why does that make em unable to release her?

[@suzujizu]

**Game lore spoilers ahead** * * * * The big bad baddie of the league world has always been the void They already made some winks in Arcane Season 2 Arc 2 (Kog maw anyone) In game they (the void) said they dont have like a “figure” who they follow, but they have like a hive-like mind (viktor?? Hello) If they want to destroy and consume everything and viktor was talking about paradoxes and shit about selfreplicating and selfannhiliting, they’re defo going this route Lb interactions with Lissandra in LOR makes you think if theyre gonna work together to help runeterra keep the watchers from waking up or maybe even fight it out with them I’m most certain theyre gonna go this route and the whole runeterra will join forces against the void (viktor might be responsible for the hextech going corrupt and the void being created by the paradox so. Obv they’re going to explore other regions and we will see how at the end everyone will unite against the voidlings There’s just too much information about the void panning out in Arc 2 with viktor. While he might not be one of the watcher, i believe he ultimately be responsible of the void being created or born, its going to be the hextech rune going corrupt and deciding the world must end because “humanity” is not worth keeping or saving, this going corrupt and the void being born Since it has the power to bring back people alive or it has those kinda regenerative power, im most certain this is how the void are going to be created Cant wait to see my girl Kaisa, my girl LB, the avarossa sisters, my ionian strong girls like syndra and Karma going full extermination against the watchers, belveth etc! SS me cause i know this is going to happen 100%

[@RapidTFT]

i mean yes but i doubt they introduce void units other than shimmer in the new set ^^#

[@suzujizu]

@@RapidTFT Sry got confused by the thumbnail and had to type this before i forgot lol. Yeah i think voidborns will come when arcane catches up to this.
