Teamfight Tactics Dragonlands also brought along a lot of new units and traits, and it can get confusing. Here's a list of all the units, their traits, effects, and a preview of some Dragons! If you want a lay of the (dragon)land, find a handy cheat sheet here.

Dragon Trait

The Dragons take up two unit slots and cost twice as much gold. What makes them worth is that they have a lot of bonus health, count for triple their trait bonus, and are more powerful than any other unit in the game.

Here's all the Dragons and their Traits:

  • Daeja: Tier 4, 8-cost, Mirage
  • Idas: Tier 4, 8-cost, Shimmerscale, Guardian
  • Shi Oh Yu: Tier 4, 8-cost Jade, Mystic
  • Shyvana: Tier 5, 10-cost Ragewing Shapeshifter
  • Sy’fen: Tier 4, 8-cost, Whispers, Bruiser
  • Ao Shin: Tier 5, 10-cost, Tempest
  • Aurelion Sol: Tier 5, 10-cost, Astral, Evoker

Shimmerscale

If gold moves everything around you, including your items, then Shimmerscale is the trait for you. Shimmerscale grants the player the use of exclusive gold-powered Shimmerscale items. Higher tiers (3,5,7,9) unlock more items, and the order the items are granted changes every game.

  • Aatrox: Tier 1 Warrior
  • Kayn: Tier 2 Ragewing, Assassin
  • Volibear: Tier 3 Dragonmancer, Legend
  • Idas: Tier 4, 8-cost, Dragon, Guardian
  • Zoe: Tier 5 Mage, Spell-Thief

There are seven Shimmerscale items in total. Here's five of them:

  • Draven’s Axe: Gain 1 Attack Damage per gold in your bank (up to 80). Every attack, this item gains 1 stack. At 100 stacks, gain 10 gold and 1 item component.
  • Goldmancer’s Staff: Gain 1 Ability Power per gold in your bank (up to 80) and a 40% chance to drop 2 gold on enemy kill.
  • Determined Investor: After the holder dies 8 times: This item returns to your item tray and transforms into Diamond Hands. Then you will gain 1 Champion Duplicator and 15 gold.
  • Diamond Hands: Once per combat at 66% and 33% Health, gain 1 gold and immunity for 2 seconds.
  • Philosopher’s Stone: Refreshing your Shop adds a stack to Philosopher's Stone. Each Shop refresh has a chance to copy the holder and consume all stacks. More expensive champions are harder to copy.

Idas: Dragon, Shimmerscale, Guardian

Playing Idas is core to the econ based strategy of Shimmerscale players, who may lack frontline due to their greedy habits that prevent them from starring up units via rolling. That’s where Idas can save the day and earn (or buy) the devotion she deserves!

Having Idas instantly grants you one Shimmerscale item. Her ability is Retaliation, which briefly reduces all incoming damage by a flat amount. Afterwards, she heals for a large portion of her health and gratns her allies a shield for 5 seconds, granting them attack speed while it's active.

Mirage

Always changing, never the same, Mirage continues the beloved trend that Mutant from Gizmos & Gadgets created as a high-variance trait, rotating between one of seven different traits each game.

Here are the Mirage units:

  • Leona: Tier 1 Guardian
  • Yone: Tier 2 Warrior
  • Nunu: Tier 3 Cavalier
  • Daeja: Tier 4, 8-cost Dragon
  • Yasuo: Tier 5 Warrior, Dragonmancer

Mirage traits have 2/4/6/8 breakpoints, no matter which of these seven effects they roll into.

  • Electric Overload: Attacking or being hit by an attack has a chance (increasing at trait breakpoints) to deal a percentage of maximum health magic damage to adjacent enemies.
  • Warlord’s Honor: Mirage units have bonus Health and Ability Power increasing at trait breakpoints. Each victorious combat they participate in increases the bonus by 10%, stacking up to 5 times
  • Dawnbringer’s Determination: The first time Mirage units drop below 50% health, they rapidly heal for a portion of their maximum health, increasing at trait breakpoints.
  • Duelist’s Dexterity: Duelists gain bonus Move Speed. Duelists' attacks grant stacking Attack Speed increasing at trait breakpoints. up to 8 stacks.
  • Spellsword’s Enchantment: Each player combat, Mirage units gain Ability Power per attack that increases at trait breakpoints.
  • Executioner’s Edge: Mirage units attacks and spells critically strike units below a health threshold that increases at trait breakpoints.
  • Pirate’s Greed: After each player combat, gain a treasure chest that contains gold and sometimes other loot.

Daeja: Dragon, Mirage

Daeja was once a part of another, Vhu; their bond unbreakable—until it, well, broke. Locals tell the tale of Vhu being lost to strange dimensional rifts, portals of some sort—now how about that?

Daeja's ability, Windblast, targets the largest group of enemies and deals magic damage. Daeja also gains a buff to her normal attacks for 5 seconds.

Jade

Each breakpoint (3/6/9/12) gives one Jade Statue that each empower units adjacent to them. They will also explode and deal magic damage upon death.

Meet the Jade units:

  • Karma: Tier 1 Dragonmancer
  • Taric: Tier 1 Bruiser
  • Ashe: Tier 2 Dragonmancer, Swiftshot
  • Gnar: Tier 2 Shapeshifter
  • Anivia: Tier 3 Legend, Evoker
  • Neeko: Tier 4 Shapeshifter
  • Shi Oh Yu: Tier 4, 8-cost Dragon, Mystic
  • Soraka: Tier 5 Starcaller

Soraka: Jade, Starcaller

Soraka's ability, Starfall, will heal your allies each time a star falls on them. The real exciting thing about Soraka is that as a Starcaller, she can heal the Tactician for an amount of health depending on her star level. At three-stars, Soraka will heal for 100 Health.

Astral

Look to the stars. What do you see? An Astral shop? Oh, yippee!

Every 5th shop will drop an Astral Orb which has a high chance of containing Astral champions. Tired of endlessly hyper rolling? Astral might be the trait for you. At 3/6/9, your team is granted bonus ability power.

Here are the Astral units:

  • Nidalee: Tier 1 Shapeshifter
  • Skarner: Tier 1 Bruiser
  • Vladimir: Tier 1 Mage
  • Nami: Tier 2 Mage, Mystic
  • Illaoi: Tier 3 Bruiser
  • Varus: Tier 3 Swiftshot
  • Aurelion Sol: Tier 5, 10-cost Evoker Dragon

Ragewing

Ragewing units have Rage instead of mana, which Enrages the champion after casting their ability. They are then unable to gain Rage for 4 seconds. This trait has breakpoints at 3/6/9.

  • Senna: Tier 1 Cannoneer
  • Sett: Tier 1 Dragonmancer
  • Kayn: Tier 2 Assassin, Shimmerscale
  • Shen: Tier 2 Bruiser, Warrior
  • Swain: Tier 3 Dragonmancer, Shapeshifter
  • Hecarim: Tier 4 Cavalier
  • Xayah: Tier 4 Swiftshot
  • Shyvana: Tier 5, 10-cost Dragon, Shapeshifter

Unlike some of our past summon traits, Trainer provides the core units for a scaling reroll composition! Stay at level 6, slow rolling (never rolling below 50 gold) to star up Tristana, who will be your main carry. Along the way you can look for Jinx to activate two Cannoneer, which will make every fifth attack from a Cannoneer a cannon shot that deals extra physical damage in an explosion around the target! 

Trainer

Trainers will summon Nomsy to fight with them. Each trainer will feed Nomsy after combat which upgrades the Dragon's abilities.

  • Heimerdinger: Tier 1 Mage
  • Tristana: Tier 2 Cannoneer
  • Lulu: Tier 3 Evoker, Mystic

Guild

Who needs dragons when you have skills like these? Guild members also receive a unique trait bonus that increases with each active guild member. This bonus applies to all allies, but Guild members gain double the benefit. Here are the Guild members and the trait bonus they bring:

Meet the Guild:

  • Sejuani: Tier 1 Cavalier + Health
  • Twitch: Tier 2 Swiftshot +Attack Speed
  • Ryze: Tier 3 Mage + Ability Power
  • Talon: Tier 4 Assassin + Attack Damage
  • Bard: Tier 5 Bard, Mystic + Mana per attack
  • Guild Emblem: + Omnivamp

Dragonmancer

Each round, you can give the Dragon Blessing to any Dragonmancer unit (yes, this includes any unit that has the Dragonmancer emblem). The chosen one gains increased health and ability power, further increased by 5% per star level of all the Dragonmancers.

Dragonmancer allows you to flexibly choose your carry round after round. For those experts in the Dragonlands, try altering who your Dragonmancer Hero is based on your next opponent. For instance, if your next foe is running Mystic, you’d better choose a hero that deals physical damage to bypass all that magic resistance.

  • Karma: Tier 1 Jade
  • Sett: Tier 1 Ragewing
  • Ashe: Tier 2 Jade Swiftshot
  • Lee Sin: Tier 3 Tempest
  • Swain: Ragewing Shapeshifter
  • Volibear: Tier 3 Shimmerscale Legend
  • Yasuo: Tier 5 Mirage Warrior
