Table of Contents
Summoner Icon
A new TFT summoner icon is now on the PBE:
Dawn of Heroes Event Icon
"A world of new adventures awaits!"
Miscellaneous
- Coven emote names changed:
- Coven Evelynn => "Hello There"
- Coven Cassiopeia => "Look Into My Eyes"
- Coven Warwick => "The Hunt Begins!"
- Skin bios added:
- Old God Warwick: ""Once known as Father Wolf, Warwick roamed the wood and reveled in moonlight's bloody hunt. The Eclipse Order thought to slay him in his den and end his barbarity-- but death means nothing to Old Gods, and he did not stay down. Father Wolf howls into the night once more, now slavering for the taste of human flesh."
- Coven Ashe: "They came to Ashe in a bone-deep chill-- the frost of the jet-black Ibex, entombing the world in ice. She descended the mountain and brought a harrowing winter with her... but that is not the only thing that followed Ashe into the night. The mountain itself rumbles."
- Coven Evelynn: "The covens of the south join their sisters for the great resurrection, as old things stir once more, and old grudges are at last repaid in full. Evelynn, daughter of the Great Harrier, gladly joins her sisters for the darkness to come-- a trail of brutality and death always in her wake."
- Old God Malphite: "Appearing to mortals as a jet-black Ibex, Malphite was an Old God of the mountain slain by the Eclipse order and cast down onto the rocks below. Death did not claim him, but the mountain did-- and now he rises in its hulking earthen form, the land itself twisted with hatred and consumed by new and terrible hungers."
- Coven Cassiopeia: "They came to Cassiopeia as a shadow within the fog-- the shape of the Silver Cobra, slithering up from the numberless graves of the ancient dead. She now stalks the ruling families of humankind, her sculpture garden full of wayward souls who strayed too far from the safety of castle walls, now eternally frozen in the throes of terror."
- Coven Ahri: "They came to Ahri at the first stirrings of dusk-- the laughter of the Half-Light Jackal, ever stalking the world as it turned towards its own inevitable entropy. A vicious predator and powerful witch, Ahri sucks the life from all she lures close, siphoning it towards her lord within the gloom."
