As Teamfight Tactics (TFT) slides into Set 9: Runeterra Reforged, fans grow excited for the new themes, mechanics, classes, and synergies. With Runeterra Reforged all about portals and the homelands beyond, players will be diving headfirst into the roots of their favorite champions. So let's break down all the different units, origins, and classes.

TFT Set 9 Origins

When it comes to the champion units of TFT Set 9, they are all based on the various regions around the League of Legends lore world of Runeterra. Whether your favorite character is from Piltover or Noxus, they each have unique synergies related to their city/region of origin.

Darkin

When Aatrox is on the board, he holds the Darkin Blade. Each time he dies, the Darkin Blade equips on the nearest ally champion. This grants them 400 bonus Health and 15% Omnivamp. Once the new weilder of the Darkin Blade dies– and they've managed to stay alive for five seconds with the blade in hand– Aatrox will revive upon their death.
