Teamfight Tactics Patch 12.18 has gone live and brings much-needed buffs to underperforming comps among other exciting things. The patch also features purchasable chibis from the Secret of the Shallows event.
Although the event will not begin with the Teamfight Tactics Patch 12.18, goodies will be available for purchase.
Secret of The Shallows
Secrets of the Shallows Eggs
“The Secrets of the Shallows Eggs (390 RP) have a 2% chance to drop Chibi Dragonmancer Kai’Sa, whose signature Finisher will leave your foes wiping water (and tears) from their screen.”
Other eggs contain new variants for Hauntling and Silverwing that are inspired by the Dragon Souls of Summoner’s Rift. These variants can also be purchased directly for 925 RP! Check out our spookiest Little Legend’s new variants: Infernal Haunting, Elder Haunting, Ocean Haunting, Mountain Haunting, Cloud Haunting.
And now for Silverwing’s new variants: Cloud Silverwing, Infernal Silverwing, Ocean Silverwing, Mountain Silverwing, Elder Silverwing.
Chibi Kai’Sa
“Icathian Rain? No, this is just a drizzle. Chibi Kai’Sa is available for direct purchase for 1900 RP. She comes with her own custom boom, Icathian Rain.”
