In the enchanting world of Fables in Ink, TeamFight Tactics players delve into a universe teeming with powerful spirits and surprises. With the release of TFT patch 14.6, an exciting new mechanic joins the game: Encounters. These special rounds offer a variety of unique experiences that can drastically alter the course of the game.
Exploring the Essence of Encounters
Encounters are pivotal moments during the game that can either lead you to the central island, known as the Carousel, or provide you with options during the planning phase, granting rewards or modifying aspects of the game. With over 80 unique Encounters available, each game in Fables in Ink becomes a unique journey filled with surprises and challenges.
The Diversity of Encounters
These special rounds can range from small bonuses, such as rerolls or additional gold, to game-changing transformations that significantly alter the rules of the game. All players experience the same Encounter in each game, although their rarity may vary, meaning some will be less common than others and will have a greater impact on the game.
Timing and Mystery
Encounters can appear at any time, from phase 1 to 6, and will not be revealed in advance, requiring players to adapt on the fly. However, a new Encounter panel provides a helpful overview of each Encounter, as well as the choices made by other players.
