TFT Set 13 Chem-Baron trait explained

Meanwhile, TFT Into the Arcane also features over 20 traits. One of them is the Chem-Baron trait, which involves collecting Shimmer and using it to purchase powerful items. Shimmer is gained via early losses. You can cash in your Shimmer and equip your Chem-Barons such as Singed, Smeech, Renni, Silco, Sevika, and Renata Glasc to gain an advantage. The rarest of these Chem-Barons is Sevika, who is a 5-cost that randomly rotates between mods and abilities.
