With the mystical Uncharted Realms now fully explored, we're taking things to a more urban (but no less intense!) setting with Monsters Attack!
In Teamfight Tactics: Monsters Attack!, Spatulopolis is under attack! By…well…MONSTERS! When threats greater than any the Star Guardians are used to facing suddenly loom over the vibrant metropolis, several bands of heroes rise to the occasion! Assemble your underground crew for a thrilling heist, solve the equation of destruction with A.D.M.I.N.istrative precision, or find yourself caught in the fray as an everyday civilian in TFT's latest set!
A new set means new mechanics (and a few old ones!), traits, Little Legends, and more, so read on for all the juicy details. The battle for Spatulopolis runs December 7th, 2022 at 11:00AM PST to March 21st, 2023 at 11:59PM local time.*

What's new with Monsters Attack!?
Oh man, SO MUCH! But outside of the usual new batch of champs, traits, and origins, there are few Monsters Attack!-specific additions that we're excited to share with you, like…
Hero Augments
Here's the good news first: Augments are here to stay! After their success in both Gizmos & Gadgets and Dragonlands, augments will be a staple going forward. Hooray!
Now for the GREAT news: Monsters Attack! comes with incredible new Hero Augments!
Hero Augments are special augments that affect a specific unit on your board. Some of them work by buffing up that single unit to truly heroic levels with new or augmented (heh) abilities, while others help them inspire their fellow teammates. They'll be offered to all players at the same time, and feature units that all cost the same amount. What's more, they'll be semi-tailored to your board, so hopefully you'll get just the right piece to finish the puzzle that is your current comp.
For more details and a few examples, check out our Monsters Attack! Overview!
Item Anvils and PVE Encounters
Since the Treasure Dragon has gone home to roost, we wanted to give you another way to perfectly complement your comp with just the right item, and that means Item Anvils!
Starting with Stage 4-7, your PVE Encounter will drop an Item Anvil instead of the usual random array of items/Gold, allowing you to grab a component item of your choosing. Stage 5-7 and 6-7 will let you pick from Completed Items instead, giving you the late-game boost needed to come out on top.
But with greater rewards comes a great challenge! The borderline harmless mobs you used to face on these stages have been replaced with colossal Threats, so make sure your team is ready for a fight!
Origins and Classes
Heroes and villains of Spatulopolis leaping into the fray with brand new origins and a fresh mix of classes!
There's a city worth of new content to reveal, but we only have time for a brief look on this page, so check out our Monsters Attack! Gameplay Overview for more details on which champs fit which roles.
Origins
| Origin | Bonuses |
|---|---|
| A.D.M.I.N. |
A.D.M.I.N. configuration varies for each player each game. (2) Configure the cause and the effect for your A.D.M.I.N. program |

| Gadgeteen |
Every round, Gadgeteens generate a random modified weapon that can be equipped by any unit. These weapons are powerful, but not durable, and fall apart after 2 rounds of use. Gadgeteens will not make new items to replace items left on the bench. (3) Create 1 item every round |
| LaserCorps |
All LaserCorps agents are assigned a combat drone. When attacking or being hit by an attack, the drone has a 50% chance to deal magic damage to the agent's target (0.5 second cooldown).

Ox Force units gain Attack Speed that increases with their missing percent health. Ox Force units will fight to their dying breath to defend their city, becoming invulnerable for 1.5 seconds the first time they would die in combat. (2) 5% - 15% Attack Speed |
| Star Guardian |
When Star Guardians gain mana, they gain more. (3) 35% additional mana |

| Threat | Threats are more powerful than other units. You may field any number of Threats, but they do not gain bonuses for being fielded with other Threats. |
| Underground |
The Underground periodically checks in with the loot from their current heist. You may choose to cut and run and take the current loot, or continue the heist to get even better rewards. After completing a heist, a new one begins. It takes 9 total progress for a heist to complete. (3) The Underground makes 1 progress after each Player Combat Round. After a loss, they make 3 progress. |

Ranked Info
A new set means a new Ranked climb, with a reset and rewards to boot!
Ranked Reset
The time has finally come for our hard-won ranks to drop down, all so we can hard-win them all over again! Why, you ask? Well, we know that for a lot of you, climbing that ladder is the most exciting part of the game. We want to give everyone a fresh ranked experience with each new set, and a hard reset will allow for just that!
So, what does that mean for your rank from Uncharted Realms…?
Standard
If you climbed all the way to Master or above, you’ll start at Bronze 4. If you hit Diamond I, you’ll start your climb from Iron I. Everyone else is starting at Iron II.
Hyper Roll
So what about Hyper Roll? This one’s easy: Everyone, regardless of placement in the last set, is starting at Gray Tier (500).
Double Up
Much like Hyper Roll, everyone starts out at the same place regardless of where they placed in the last set. For Double Up, everyone starts at Iron II.
Provisional Games
After the set kicks off, everybody who plays ranked will start with five provisional placement games. During those games, you won’t lose any LP for finishing in the bottom 4, and you’ll earn extra LP for placing in the top 4—or top 2 for Double Up.
Ranked Rewards
Wait—how many realms did you chart?
…ALL OF THEM?! Dang! That calls for some ranked rewards, which will be distributed throughout the release patch of Monsters Attack!, patch 12.23.
Now let's take a look at what you'll get!
Standard Ranked
Place Gold or higher in Dragonlands: Uncharted Realms? Get ready to show off those various victories with an emote representing your rank!
Hyper Roll
If you achieved Green, Blue, Purple, or Hyper tier while Hyper Rolling through Uncharted Realms, you'll receive an emote based on your rank—featuring the HYPEREST dragon, Bungo!
Double Up!
Teamwork makes the dream work—especially if that dream is claiming ranked rewards in Double Up! Those of you who reached Gold tier or higher in Double Up can flex their might with this dangerous draconic duo!
