TFT (Teamfight Tactics) Tip Tuesday is back with yet another necessary tidbit of info in Set 11. In this edition, we go over the amount of each unit in the pool and reroll odds. Knowing this can dramatically change how you play certain games and contribute greatly to the success of your gameplans. 



Keep reading to learn how you can apply this tip to your own ranked climb! 



TFT Tip Tuesday: Unit pool size



It is important to know how many copies of each unit there are in the shared pool to recognize if it is possible or probable for you to hit your desired units. 



1-cost



Mythic Kog'Maw (Image via Riot Games)




22 copies of each 1-cost unit




It is possible yet unlikely for two people to three-star the same 1-cost unit. However, if an opponent is taking 1-cost units out of the pool for their composition, that can make it easier to reroll a different set of 1-cost units. 



2-cost



Dryad Gnar (Image via Riot Games)




20 copies of each 2-cost unit




Similar to 1-costs, because the amount of copies for 2-costs is greater than 18, two players can theoretically both three-star the same unit. 



However, this is unlikely, and players are better off not contesting each other. The correct decision could be to not pivot, pivot and push to a higher level, or play a different 2-cost reroll composition, if your items and shops allow it. 



3-cost



Umbral Yone (Image via Riot Games)




17 copies of each 3-cost unit




Because it takes 9 copies to three-star any 3-cost unit, only one player per lobby can achieve that for each unique 3-cost unit. The only ways to bypass this are through Champion Duplicators and the augment "Call to Chaos." 



Generally speaking, only one person will three-star a specific 3-star unit in most games, so use that knowledge to your advantage when planning out decisions if you find yourself contested in those scenarios.



4-cost

10 copies of each 4-cost unit

Apex Legends Season 21 patch notes.

Everybody is talking about the Dota 2 Crownfall candle token that's missing for the "Lost and found" side quest. After progressing through the Overworld Map, players found out the "Always-closed Candlemaker's Shop" is the key to solving this puzzle. However, this encounter is not available after Act I.



This mission is not behind a paywall either. Buying the Midgate Pathfinder pack unlocks two extra side quests, with bonus rewards. Yet, the candle token is not one of them. Before the Act II releases, the maximum progression you can get is 52/53 missions complete. 



And yes, you're stuck with an incomplete number until the next patch. Unless you do some illegal modifications to the source code, of course. But, what did the community find out about this mystery? And what does Yurnero, the Juggernaut, have to do with all of this?



Lost and Found side quest, which requires the candle token, has a Juggernaut icon on it.






How to get the Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token?



The YouTuber Fay Dota Stuff posted a video on how to get the token through the developer console. As the user pointed out, he is not sure if this is safe to do, since Valve may detect this as a false-positive for cheating. Gladly, you don't have to do it with your own account to know that getting the token this way won't give you any new rewards.









After getting the candle token, entering the cave will show a single dialogue: "My name is Eldor the Wizard. This is my top secret room. Keep it between us, OK?"



Screenshot taken from Fay Dota Stuff YouTube video



The Candlemaker theories



The Dota 2 Crownfall Candle token is now the fuel to a number of theories made by the community. The aforementioned Eldor the Wizard recently appeared in the 7.33 "New frontiers" patch code.  The single line "new_frontiers_eldor_name": "Eldor the wizard" was supposed to be a simple Easter egg for data miners. But now it's an opportunity for the reddit user "sikleQQ" to connect it to the

Fortnite's annual Star Wars event arrives promptly on May 3, just in time to say May the 4th Be With You. The 2024 collaboration is unquestionably the most significant to date, extending to Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing. On top of that, Epic Games will introduce more Fortnite Star Wars skins for you to spend your hard-earned V-Bucks on. 



This article features a complete breakdown of every new Star Wars skin and cosmetic due to arrive in Fortnite on May 3.



All Fortnite Star Wars skins coming to the game on May 3







Chewbacca, Dagobah Luke, and Lando Calrissian headline the latest Fortnite Star Wars skins. Previously, Epic Games has unleashed A New Hope Luke, Jedi Knight Luke, and Cloaked Luke, so Dagobah Luke makes the fourth rendition of the character. To provide context, Dagobah Luke is depicted in The Empire Strikes Back when Luke trains with Yoda.









Lando Calrissian has yet to appear in Fortnite, so this marks his debut, sporting his iconic look from Empire. The AWR Trooper, or Death Trooper, will also be available. Last but certainly not least, Han Solo's loyal Wookiee friend, Chewbacca, will appear in-game as a non-player character (NPC) and Fortnite skin.

Big fan of Fortnite doing collaborations with animes like My Hero Academia (MHA)? Well, luckily, it seems like we may be getting a whole new set of skins from the popular manga and TV show. 



Leaks have surfaced of a new MHA collaboration that, this time, stars the villains of the anime. 



My Hero Academia to return to Fortnite



My Hero Academia has been a staple within the Fortnite community as it was one of the earlier animes that the game collaborated with. The only thing is, every MHA skin we have is a hero.



So, why no villains?



Well, it seems like the newest partnership with the popular anime will bring fans exactly what they want. 



Popular Fortnite leaker, Hypex, took to Twitter to announce the new collaboration earlier this morning.

About MHA



If you have never heard of My Hero Academia (which means you probably live under Patrick Star's home), then let me enlighten you. The popular anime follows a young boy, Izuku Midoriya, in a world where a large percentage of the population has different superpowers.







Determined to become the greatest superhero out there, Midoriya pushes the limits of what it means to be a hero, attempting to do good at every corner.

Team Falcons won their third major title this year at the ESL One Birmingham. This team is not only known for their excellent skills, but also for trolling their opponents during matches.



After defeating BetBoom Team in the Grand Final with a score of 3-0, carry player Oliver "skiter" Lepko talked with esports.gg about the team's run in the lower bracket, the mental strategy involved with all chat, the most impressive moment for him, and future plans.

Team Falcons' lower bracket run



Esports.gg: Hi, skiter. Congratulations! How do you feel beating BetBoom 3-0 again in the Grand Final?



Skiter: It feels really good because it was a lower bracket run. Usually, in the tournaments I've won or my teams have won — we've just swept through the upper bracket. It wasn't really that difficult. But for this tournament, we were originally supposed to play with SumaiL because Malr1ne had difficulty getting his visa.

And then after the first day of this event, we were told that he finally got his visa so he was coming, so we switched our midlaner after the tournament had already started. We had zero practice with him. We lost the first round of the upper bracket, so we had to struggle our way through the lower bracket. There are too many games and variables so you don't really expect to win, but we managed to go through all the way and win it.



You mentioned in a podcast before that it might make it hard for you to sleep. So how did you feel when you went into the lower bracket?



Skiter: I'm not really scared to lose or stressed out before the actual games. If I have bave sleep, it's usually after I lose. Throughout the tournament, we tried to tell ourselves that given the circumstances of all the practices, we

Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller just teased some major tank buffs set for the Overwatch 2 Season 10 mid-season update. In a post, Keller also noted updates to the self-heal passive plus buffs to damage heroes such as Hanzo, Echo, and Junkrat. Read on for details.

Overwatch 2 director's take May 2




Tanks get 25% damage reduction from headshots 



Tanks have 30% to 50% increased knockback resistance 



Tanks take 5 damage per projective, up to 50% maximum for armor damage reduction



Global self-heal passive becomes 10 health plus 5% of a hero's maximum health per second 



Junker Queen gets Commanding Shout buff and cooldown reduction



Wrecking Ball receives buffs on Grappling Claw, Piledriver, and Minefield



Hanzo, Echo, and Junkrat gets light buffs

Overwatch 2 buffs tanks in mid-season update



According to the May 2 Overwatch director's take, the mid-season update is going to buff the tank passive to have a 25% damage reduction from headshots. The game also plans to increase knockback resistance from 30% to 50%. Next, armor damage reduction is getting reverted to 5 damage per projective with up to a 50% maximum. Meanwhile, the global self-heal passive is going to recover 10 health and 5% of a hero's maximum health per second. 



These changes aim to help tanks deal with burst damage. These updates also let tanks hold the front line better while not being constantly subjected to displacement abilities.



"Altogether, these changes should have an impact on some of the pain points our tank players are experiencing, as well as the balance of the game," Keller added. "I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of movement in the meta over the remainder of Season 10."

Chewbacca makes his long-awaited Fortnite debut on May 3 with the newest Fortnite x Star Wars event. This collaboration features ample content, from Battle Royale to LEGO Fortnite and everything in between. On the Battle Royale side, Epic Games has made Chewbacca a non-player character (NPC), who you can find and rescue. This article explains where to find the loveable Wookiee in Fortnite.



Where is Chewbacca in Fortnite?



Look for the blue smoke (Credit: Epic Games)



You will find the Chewbacca NPC at the newly introduced Imperial Roadblocks stationed around the map. While there are several, Chewbacca will spawn randomly at just one in each Battle Royale match. Be on the lookout for the blue smoke from this sky. This smoke indicates where you can find Chewbacca. He is a prisoner of the Imperial forces, meaning you must rescue him. 







Upon locating the proper Imperial Roadblock containing the Wookiee, you must eliminate the Stormtroopers holding him captive. Those who successfully rescue Chewbacca will receive two benefits for their efforts.






What happens when I rescue Chewie?

Chewbacca will hand you his signature Bowcaster weapon, prominently featured in the Star Wars films, to show his gratitude. He will also join your squad for the remainder of the match until you win or another player sends you back to the lobby. Although Chewbacca is an NPC, having additional firepower in a sweaty Fortnite match never hurts.

Those only looking to acquire the Wookiee Bowcaster can search through various Imperial Chests (pictured above). These Chests have appeared in previous Star Wars updates. They contain a mixture of E-11 Blasters, Wookiee Bowcasters, and other Fortnite items.

Chewie has arrived in Fortnite for the first time. The v29.40 has welcomed Han Solo’s loyal Wookiee friend to the Island as a non-playable character (NPC). However, he’s not unarmed. Chewbacca has entered Fortnite with his signature Bowcaster weapon, which you can find on the Island.

Chewbacca rotates through various Imperial Roadblocks each match, so you will have to keep an eye out for him. If you rescue him, he’ll roar in appreciation, hand you a Bowcaster, and join you for the remainder of your match. 



You can also find Bowcasters in various Imperial Chests around the map.

Darth Vader is back as a boss in Fortnite with an army of Stormtroopers. Like in previous Star Wars events, you can battle the Imperial forces. You can wield his Lightsaber or a Stormtrooper E-11 Blaster if you eliminate Vader and his crew.
