Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is an auto battler game developed by Riot Games, first released in June 2019. As a spin-off of League of Legends, TFT shares a similar setting and uses many of the same characters, known as “champions”. The game features a chess-like board where players strategically place their champions to fight against opponents’ teams in automatic battles.
Each match in TFT consists of multiple rounds, where players compete against each other in one-on-one matches or against computer-controlled enemies. The main objective is to strategically combine champions and items to form a powerful team that can outlast the others. Players earn gold throughout the match and can use it to buy new champions or upgrade existing ones.
Champions in TFT come with unique abilities and belong to specific classes and origins, which provide various bonuses when combined. Strategic depth in the game is enriched by the positioning of champions on the board and the timing of upgrades and purchases.
The game operates on a seasonal model, with each season introducing changes such as new champions, items, and thematic elements, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. TFT can be played on both PCs and mobile devices, offering a cross-platform gaming experience. This accessibility, combined with its competitive and strategic nature, has contributed to its popularity in the auto battler genre.
