The new Teamfight Tactics set is going to hit the PBE today, and live servers in just two weeks. Asa always when a brand new set drops, there are a lot of things to get familiar with before players hop onto a game, starting with champions themselves.

Runeterra Reforged has 59 champions in the set, from the reprints of some of the former favorites like Set 6’s Challenger Kai’Sa, this time a four cost, to brand new additions to the roster like the Shuriman hunter K’Sante.
