What is an encounter?
Encounters are randomly occurring events that can happen in a Teamfight Tactics game in Set 11. Encounters can replace certain rounds like Carousel Rounds, meaning you’ll never quite get the same experience from game to game.
All players will come across a champion, and depending on the champion will change a certain aspect of the game or give them a choice of two options. Sometimes this is as minor as Hwei giving players a temporary target dummy or even Neeko giving players a 3-star one cost temporarily.
