Finished reading over all the stuff revealed for #TFT Set 16 so far and it's... a lot.
Definitely seems like a set with a high skill cap which means I could easily be still learning new things hundreds of games in.
Which is great for creating guides, so pretty stoked!

Oof second #silksong steel soul run ended after a bit of carelessness. Got pretty far with this one too.
Probably run it back one more time and this time actually use Fractured Mask. Not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to not have it...

I'll try again at the next one though!

With shop odd controversies, Wave Theory has come back as a hot topic. While there's plenty of memes and clickbait about it, it can be hard to get a straight answer on what it is and whether it works. Well don't worry - I've got you covered! Time to put this topic to rest!

Players often advocate for one or the other, but many find it hard to win no matter which style they try

I finally achieved the Star Guardian Prismatic but my opponent ff'd before I could get one fight with it to see it 😭
Please, it's common courtesy to give your opponent at least one fight with their 3 * 4 cost / 5 cost or Prismatic trait, and then you can FF to save time.
