Listen up, longtime Teamfight Tactics fans: The time is coming to relive another old-time favorite set from the game with a special mode. And in the main game, lots of balance changes and a new pass.
Following up on the announcement we reported earlier this month, Riot is bringing Dawn of Heroes back with a Revival, and we finally have more details. Set 5.5 is the second Revival in TFT—Set 3.5, Galaxies, made its way back in January 2024 with some changes from the original format.
The Dawn of Heroes Revival starts on Sept. 25 at 6:30pm CT and lasts until Nov. 4, also at 6:30pm CT. As a new special mode, it has its own Revival Ranked Ladder as well.
Just half an hour later, at 7pm CT on Sep. 25, the Magic N’ Mayhem Chapter Two Pass goes live. The new, exclusive rewards from the regular pass and the Pass+ include an Arena, five Little Legends, and two Booms.
Some of the balance changes had already been teased on PBE last week, like the Queenguard’s Armor nerf to reduce some of the Faeries’ power and a buff to Warriors. But there is so much more this time. Here is all you need to know.
