UNLOCKS ARE BACK!!UNLOCKS ARE BACK!!
What did you think?

What does it take to get Aphelios into your shop? In Teamfight Tactics: Prismatic Tour, equipping a Recurve Bow on a Heartsteel champion will do it.

Set Design Lead Julien Gamaraza uses that example to introduce the returning Unlocks mechanic: complete an in-game quest and another champion becomes available. Mordekaiser takes more work, requiring 11 unique star levels of Pentakill. Crucially, Gamaraza says an unlocked unit will appear in your very next shop, rather than leaving you waiting for a lucky roll.

The official channel's promotional gameplay explainer drew roughly 43,000 views in ten hours, already well beyond its usual first-day Shorts audience. The comment section also passed a hundred contributions, compared with a usual first day of just a couple.

Among the discussion are requests to make Unlocks permanent and arguments that a larger available roster could create more variety in team compositions. Other viewers are talking about the returning music-themed teams, including Jazz and Pentakill.

Prismatic Tour goes live December 2, with Gamaraza's demonstration showing unlock notifications for Aphelios, Mordekaiser, Akali and Teemo.

  • I kinda want jazz back for bard and MF but having pool party mf would also be cool

  • Make the unlock mechanic permanent. Instead of coming up with a new mechanic for every set, add 100 characters.

  • Set 10 was my favourite, only rivalled by Lore and Legends. Really looking forward next set😏

  • The music set was one of the best and frankly the unlock mechanic is one of the healthier things for the game when it was properly adjusted. This is good game direction, hopefully everything else follows suit.
