The next Teamfight Tactics (TFT) event is here in time for the Chinese New Year: Gifts of the Golden Lantern. Get ready to gift your Tactician friends plenty of new year’s goodies and claim some rewards for yourself by completing in-game missions.

After the success that was Skyglass Origins, TFT’s next in-game event is finally here to kick off 2022. Named Gifts of the Golden Lantern, it’s the autobattler’s celebration of the Chinese New Year on February 1.

The festivities will kick off a bit before that in-game though, with the chance to earn Little Legend eggs, emotes, and more for free. Here’s how it’ll work.

New TFT Little Legends, Arenas in Gifts of the Golden Lantern

A handful of new Tacticians have been added onto the PBE in anticipation for the Gifts of the Golden Lantern event. This includes new Duckbill, Dowsie, and Dango variants, as well as a new Chibi Firecracker Jinx tactician which comes with its own boom.

These will be joined by a new Golden Tiger Market Arena, with plenty of poros there to watch the battle and celebrate the New Year in the Convergence. All these Little Legends and Arenas should be available during the event for a small amount of RP — or you could be lucky enough and get them out of the Festival Firecracker or Year of the Tiger Eggs.

TFT Gifts of the Golden Lantern event missions

To first get access to the Gifts of the Golden Lantern event, you need to accept the invite in-client from Duckbill. You just need to hop into a game, and then the missions will unlock.

You’ll need to chat to each of the Tacticians at the festival — seven in total — and embark on in-game missions to get sweet rewards. It’s kind of like the Spirit Blossom event for League back in Season 10. There are some secret missions tied to riddles for each Tactician, and we will update you with the solutions once we play through the event.

TFT Gifts of the Golden Lantern event rewards

By getting the Tacticians just what they want for the new year, you’ll be duly rewarded with Little Legend eggs, Star Shards, and more.

However, you don’t need to complete the missions to get all the rewards — and you will need to splash some cash if you low-roll your eggs. Firecracker Jinx and Year of the Tiger Protector are only available in select eggs, and things like Jinx’s special Tactician boom and the Golden Tiger Market arena are gated behind a bundle.

TFT Gifts of the Golden Lantern event end date

The TFT Gifts of the Golden Lantern went live during TFT patch 12.2 on January 20, 2022. It will run for two patches, ending on February 15, 2022 just as patch 12.4 ticks over.

That’s a big date too given TFT Set 6.5, the Neon Nights Mid-Set update, is primed to go live on the same day, so be sure to give everyone at the festival the gifts they deserve before then.
