TFT Set 18.1

Form Change

A champion transforms into a different form mid-fight. It is still the same unit on the same hex — nothing new is created and nothing is replaced, which is what separates this from a summon or a clone — but the form it turns into has different numbers and sometimes a different ability altogether. Three champions do it. Elise turns into a spider, gains a block of max Health, and her attacks in that form deal bonus magic damage and heal her. Gnar builds Rage over the fight and then turns into Mega Gnar, gaining Health and swapping his ability for a throw. Nidalee reads which stat you built her for: with Ability Power she stays ranged and throws javelins, with Attack Damage she turns into a melee cougar that swipes at enemies. The practical reading: the form is where the power is, so the numbers on the pre-form kit undersell the champion, and with Nidalee the items you give her decide which kit you get.
