Twisted Fate is a unique champion, mixing magic, smarts, and a bit of luck to control the game. TF has become a strong choice for players who like to play in the middle of the game map, thanks to his special skills. He's all about playing smart, making quick choices, and using his abilities to win. Here is everything you need to know about Twisted Fate in League of Legends!

Twisted Fate abilities in League of Legends

Here are all of Twisted Fate’s abilities:

PASSIVE: LOADED DICE

Upon killing a unit, Twisted Fate rolls his 'lucky' dice receiving 1 to 6 bonus gold.

Q: WILD CARDS

Twisted Fate throws three cards, dealing damage to each enemy unit they pass through.

His first ability lets him throw three cards that hurt enemies they hit, making him good at attacking from a distance. 

W: PICK A CARD

Twisted Fate chooses a magic card from his deck, and uses that for his next attack, causing bonus effects.

For his second skill, he picks one of three cards, each doing something different, and uses it for his next attack. Red card gives damage to a small area, blud card restores a little bit of his mana and the gold card stuns the enemy it hits. This requires quick thinking and good timing.

E: STACKED DECK

Every 4 attacks, Twisted Fate deals bonus damage. In addition, his Attack Speed is increased.

His third ability increases his attack speed and adds extra damage every fourth attack.

R: DESTINY

Twisted Fate predicts the fortunes of his foes, revealing all enemy champions and enabling the use of Gate, which teleports Twisted Fate to any target location in 1.5 seconds.

Lastly, his ultimate ability is a game-changer. It lets him see all enemies and teleport to any place on the map, making him a threat everywhere.

Best Twisted Fate build

To do really well with Twisted Fate, you need to pick items and runes that play to his strengths. Here's a closer look at why each part of his build is important:

• Flash and Teleport: These spells are super useful. Flash helps you quickly get away or catch up to someone for a stun. Teleport lets you move fast to different parts of the game map to help your team.
• Rod of Ages: This item is great for Twisted Fate. It gives him more health, mana (so he can use more abilities), and power. It helps him stay alive longer in fights and keep using his abilities.
• Sorcerer's Shoes: These boots make Twisted Fate's attacks stronger, especially against enemies trying to block his magic.
• Lich Bane: This item works really well with Twisted Fate's card abilities, making his attacks much stronger.
• Rapid Firecannon: This increases the range of Twisted Fate's card attacks, letting him hit enemies from farther away.
• Zhonya's Hourglass: Gives Twisted Fate armor and the power to avoid all damage for a bit. This can save him in big fights or when he's in trouble.
• Rabadon's Deathcap: A powerful item that makes all of Twisted Fate's abilities hit much harder later in the game.

How to play Twisted Fate mid

Mastering Twisted Fate requires a strategic mindset. Early game, focus on farming and using your Q to safely poke enemies. The mid-game is where Twisted Fate shines; utilize Destiny to apply pressure across the map. Remember, Twisted Fate is not about early aggression but rather about scaling and seizing the right moments to strike. Positioning and card selection, especially the stun from his Gold Card, are crucial to his gameplay.

Twisted Fate counters

Here are three of the biggest counters of Twisted Fate in the mid lane:

Sylas

Sylas can be a tough opponent because he can steal Twisted Fate's ultimate with his own, using it to match or counter Twisted Fate's map pressure. When playing against Sylas, it's crucial to be unpredictable with your ultimate usage and try to bait out his theft before making a significant play elsewhere.

Swain

Swain's ability to sustain in lane and his powerful crowd control can make it difficult for Twisted Fate to secure kills. Against Swain, focus on farming and look for roam opportunities elsewhere. Avoid getting caught in his nevermove (E) ability, as it can lead to a deadly combo.

Fizz

Fizz is a highly mobile assassin that can dodge Twisted Fate's "Pick a Card" and "Wild Cards" with his playful/trickster (E) ability, making it hard to lock him down. When facing Fizz, the key is to play defensively, save your stun card for when he's vulnerable after using his E, and consider purchasing early magic resist items like Banshee's Veil to survive his burst damage.

Against these opponents, remember to keep an eye on what abilities they've used, try to see where the enemy team is to avoid surprises, and use Twisted Fate's ability to push lanes and show up unexpectedly across the map to your advantage. Twisted Fate is great at making the enemy team play by his rules, so even if fighting them directly is tough, you can still outsmart them.

Twisted Fate voice lines

Twisted Fate's personality shines through in what he says, from cool lines like "I'm one of a kind" to playful ones like "Cheater's just a fancy word for winner." These lines make playing him more fun and bring his character to life. Here are some of the most known lines of this champion:

• “Doin' it."
• "I'm one of a kind."
• "It's my lucky day."

Twisted Fate release date

Twisted Fate has been part of "League of Legends" since February 21, 2009. He's been updated over the years to keep up with the game, but he's always been a favorite because of his fun gameplay and strategy. TF is one of the oldest champions in League of Legends but it is still used thanks to his global impact and ability to pick enemies one by one.

Why is Pax Twisted Fate so rare?

PAX Twisted Fate is very rare because Riot gave it out only at the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo. Players who went to the event got a code for the skin. Riot never sold it in the shop or gave it out in other events. The codes worked only once, and many players from that time no longer play. Riot also said they will never bring this skin back. Because of that, only a small number of accounts have it today.
