What TFT Set 12 champions have the Portal trait

The Portal trait showcases eight TFT Set 12 champions. Zoe and Ryze share the Scholar trait while Gailo and Norra share the Mage trait. Most Magic n’ Mayhem Portal champions synergize with Portals and shields.

JayceOne-costShapeshifterUpon transformation, Jayce gains armor and magic resistance. Jayce leaps to a target, dealing physical damage.
ZoeOne-costScholar and WitchcraftZoe fires an Orb toward a target, dealing magic damage. Zoe also reduces the target’s magic resistance by 10/15/20 for the remainder of combat.
GalioTwo-costMage and VanguardGalio conjures a barrier that reduces incoming damage for four seconds. He then fires two magic bolts that deal magic damage and converge on a distant target, knocking them up for 1.2/1.2/1.5 seconds.
KassadinTwo-costMultistrikerKassadin gains a shield for three seconds, dealing magic damage to a target. For the remainder of combat, Kassadin’s attacks deal bonus stacking magic damage.
EzrealThree-costBlasterEzreal dashes to a spot within two Hexes. Ezreal then fires a blast in a line, dealing damage reduced by 20 percent each time it hits an enemy.
RyzeThree-costScholarRyze opens Portals that fire 12/12/15 bolts at nearby enemies. Each bold deals magic damage.
TaricFour-costBastionAll nearby projectiles are redirected into Taric with Taric gaining damage reduction for four seconds. After four seconds, Taric releases a nova that deals magic damage in a two-Hex area.
Norra and YummiFive-costExplorer and MageNorra Summons and launches a ball at a target that explodes, dealing magic damage while Paperfies in the area from the explosion deal magic damage per second for 3/3/15 seconds. If a ball lands in an area already Paperfied, it will bounce to a new location within two Hexes before exploding.

Jayce, Galio, and Taric are the tanks in the Portal trait. Kassadin is a melee. Zoe and Norra (with Yummi) are backline units, and Ezreal is a flex positioning champion.

All Portal TFT Set 12 breakpoints and abilities

Breakpoints for the Portal trait in TFT Set 12 are 3/6/8/10. Activating the trait creates a Portal on the arena board while shielding Portal units. The higher the breakpoint, the larger the Portal and shields are.

  • Three: Small Portal and 250 shield
  • Six: Medium Portal and 500 shield
  • Eight: Large Portal and 750 shield
  • 10: Mega Portal and 1,500 shield

Much like Eldritch, Portal has a Prismatic breakpoint at 10. Reaching 10 will require two craftable Emblems. You can also get Emblems through Crest and Crown TFT Set 12 Augments.

Portals created by activating the Magic n’ Mayhem trait toss random junk onto the arena board every few seconds. Junk items can range from Poro Snax, a random Krug, components, or even a bomb. Details of every Junk item from a Portal haven’t been revealed, at time of writing, but should be before TFT Set 12 drops into live servers on July 31.
