How new TFT Pengu’s Party mode works in 5-year Bash

A new casual Teamfight Tactics game mode called Pengu’s Party will run from June 12 to July 15 as part of the five-year birthday bash for the autobattler, featuring 20 former Set traits mashed into Set 11 Inkborn Fables for a wild ride to either first or eighth. 

When do the TFT Pengu’s Party traits appear and how the game mode works

All Pengu’s Party trait options will appear at Stages 1-3 and 2-5. You will have the option to choose one of three unique traits at both Stages. This is in addition to the TFT Set 11 Portals at the start of the game, Encounters, and normal Augment Stage armories. Each trait has two ability breakpoints.

At Stage 3-5, you are given the option to upgrade one of your chosen traits to a Prismatic. Traits chosen don’t need a specific number of TFT champions to activate. They don’t have normal breakpoints and are always on from the moment they are picked. 

In addition to 20 possible trait synergies you can add to your TFT Set 11 board, changes were made to PvE Stages. Replacing the normal crew are Cupcakes and a Party Crab. As the name suggests, Party Crab drops extra loot. And since most players will experiment when crafting end-game boards, the TFT devs included a Golden Item Remover at the start of every Pengu’s Party game so you can move items around freely.

Two TFT traits from Set One to Set 10 were added to Pengu’s Party, totaling 20 possible traits that mash together with Set 11 Inkborn Fables traits. All traits within Pengu’s Party were updated for the game modes launch through Patch 14.12.
