One of the most significant changes in the history of Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is the introduction of the Emblem Selection Book. With this item, players can activate more traits and build their team compositions as they wish… Notably, with the Emblem Selection Book, players do not need to sacrifice powerful champions on the board just to obtain suitable champions for the traits they want to play.
The Emblem Selection Book is also considered one of the most popular items, especially in the late game when players want to maximize the power that activating traits brings. However, sometimes choosing this item can give players a headache because no one truly understands the mechanics of the trait emblem generation of this item. As a result, it can sometimes produce emblems that no one desires, causing players to waste an important choice.
Recently, Riot Mortdog – the “father” of the TFT game mode announced that the Emblem Selection Book will undergo significant changes in season 12.3. Specifically, the types of emblems will have certain appearance rules. When players activate between 0 – 4 traits, there will be a random chance of getting emblems suitable for the existing traits. When the number of activated traits increases to 5-6, there will definitely be at least 1/4 suitable emblems, 7-8 will yield 2/4 suitable emblems, 9-10 will yield 3/4 suitable emblems, and when activating 11 traits or more, there will be 4/4 emblems all suitable for the composition.
Thus, in the late game, the Emblem Selection Book will become extremely important and can truly help players activate the highest thresholds for their main traits. Furthermore, according to Riot Mortdog’s example, just activating traits at the lowest threshold will also be counted. However, some traits in season 6 already have a sufficient average number of champions that can appear on the board (7-8 champions). With the support of the Emblem Selection Book, traits that can activate thresholds 8 and 9 will become significantly stronger, such as Gang, Challenger…
Overall, these are important adjustments that help players better understand and utilize the Emblem Selection Book to maximize the effectiveness of this choice and achieve the ultimate victory.
