TFT Update: Soulbound Class

Riot··2 votes·57,596 views

Senna and Lucian enter Teamfight Tactics together, bound beyond life and death. As Soulbound, these two damage dealing carries fight past their own mortal limits as long as the other is still alive.

Here's how they work:

Soulbound

(2) The first Soulbound unit to die in a round will instead enter the Spirit Realm, becoming untargetable and continuing to fight as long as another Soulbound unit is alive.


Senna

Cost: 2
Origin: Shadow
Class: Soulbound
Ability: Piercing Darkness

  • Senna fires a beam through her furthest ally, dealing 50/100/150 magic damage to enemies, and buffing allies' on-hits for 5 seconds to deal 25/45/65 magic damage from Senna.

Senna is a back-line unit that focuses on buffing allies as well as dealing damage. Her ability Piercing Darkness infuses any friendly in the beam with bonus on-hit magic damage applied from Senna, allowing her Shadow trait to benefit from many more takedowns in a combat.


Lucian

Cost: 4
Origin: Light
Class: Soulbound
Ability: The Culling

  • Lucian fires at 4 times his normal Attacks Per Second in a direction for 4 seconds, each attacking for 20/30/50% of his AD, applying on-hits, and dealing 30/40/50 magic damage.

Lucian is the new carry for the Light trait and is especially adept at single-target DPS. His ability Culling synergizes very well with damage modifiers like Piercing Darkness and applies on-hit effects.


Oh, and we almost forgot about Amumu

Cost: 5
Origin: Inferno
Class: Warden
Ability: Curse of the Sad Mummy

  • Amumu’s rage explodes, dealing 250/500/1337 magic damage to enemies within 2/3/4 Hexes, and stunning them for 1.5 seconds.

Inferno at the 6-piece level has been a bit underwhelming. Specifically, it lacks the utility to compete with other all-in compositions (Light, for example). Enter Amumu - he’s here to be the tanky frontline for all of your Infernal needs. He roots enemies in Inferno Hexes and is generally an adorably cute, but often lonely, force of raw destruction.

Even in TFT Amumu is neglected from the spotlight.

Amumu item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 poor mummy yordle.

Amumu hasn't been a yordle in lore for YEARS now.

When they switched yordles to have 4 fingers instead of 5, he went with 4, so I think that is confirmation he is in fact a Yordle.

What does Senna target if she's the only one still alive? Seems weird that her spell doesn't target the farthest enemy

Cat4help2 votes

I think it goes like this Senna shoots her ally and it goes through damaging enemies adjacent to them. If she is last she'll just attack the enemy.

ChaosReyn1 votes

she probably shoots her soulbound, but it'll only deal damage since her soulbound cant be healed.

What skin will Lucian use? His base skin doesnt really seem like a Light champion.

Voidborn Darkin3 votes

Prolly hired gun if he uses a skin.

Dude read lore and shit before posting such baseless stuff

Washuu King7 votes

His weapon is literally called "Lightbringer"

AriesTFT5 votes

Well I mean his base skin was used for noble last set. Vayne kept her set 1 noble skin so I would fully expect the same here.

This is a really embarrassing comment to read.

Have you ever played lucian, or seen lucian, or...

What about Xayah and Rakan tho [sg-ahri-1]

I'm way late to this comment section, but I just wanted to add that why not have Amumu be Desert? There are plenty of good Inferno champions, but not that many Desert ones. Sound like interesting additions though.

ARCHlTECTS2 votes

Desert is a very strong trait when paired with other traits. Even an all desert comp is strong. Inferno falls off hard.

Was wondering when we'd see the gunslingin' Lucian back.

Senna is a back-line unit

I dunno. On paper it sounds more like she'd be better off with [Spatula + BF Sword] to toss her into the enemy back line. If you have Lucian in your back line, you can let Senna die without worry. Then she can run around shooting the enemy's squishies and shooting your allies through the enemy team.

Will Xayah Rakan be added in this class?

Cat4help1 votes

Senna weak, Buff her damage to enemies cause she'll most likely be op early but weak late.

Stexe1 votes

Interesting. I thought you were going away from adding new synergies and units outside of one or two units to round things out. Surprised by this addition...

Oh boy time to find myself a light comp

Amumu is one of the few champs that they would almost forget about. As an Amumu main I’m glad he’s in TFT at least, and a good price. Now he’ll finally be useful in a mode.

So senna + nami = many on hit damages?

I was hoping that bringing the soul bound into light you would bring Kayn on the tft board
