TFT Set 17: Space Gods is shaking things up by replacing a core mechanic with a brand new interactive experience.
In this set, carousel rounds are no more, and instead players will visit the Realm of the Gods! Let's dive in and explore how this works.
How Realm of the Gods Works
At the start of each game, you'll randomly encounter two of the nine Gods. Each God has its own set of unique blessings that they offer.
In the earlier rounds they will provide minor rewards, but once you reach 4-7, you'll receive a Boon corresponding to the God you aligned with.
During each "carousel round" (2-4, 3-4, 4-4), you will instead find yourself transported into the Realm of the Gods. It is here that you get to choose a minor blessing.
Additionally, Pengu will grant rewards based on your current placement. While we don't know the specifics, it's mean't to simulate the usual catch-up mechanics, giving you more when you're behind.
The blessing you decide on will also earn you favor with that God, up until the end of 4-4. Whichever God has been chosen more will determine the Boon you receive at 4-7.
On top of that, you'll be able to repeatedly spend 1 Gold to reroll for smaller rewards (such as components) alongside the Boon.
Afterwards, all future "carousel rounds" will simply offer you a selection of items to choose from (without entering into the Realm of the Gods).
