TFT Set 14: How to Master Prismatic Traits in Cyber City

Dive into Teamfight Tactics’ latest battleground -- Cyber City, where rival factions clash with advanced tech and time-bending power. To dominate, you’ll need to master Prismatic Traits. With unique mechanics like Hacks and Trait Tracker, this guide reveals strategies to activate and optimize Prismatic Traits. Learn comps, economy tips, and more to conquer Cyber City and climb the ladder!

Strategies to Master Prismatic Traits

Learn Trait Breakpoints

Each trait in Set 14 has specific breakpoints that determine the strength of its bonus. For example, Anima Squad scales from 3 to 10, with 10 covering your entire board in powerful effects. Exotech could grant increasing health and attack speed at 3, 5, or 7 units.

Focus on traits with impactful top-tier effects (e.g., 9 or 10 units), as these are likely the "Prismatic" versions you’re aiming for.

*To learn details of Prismatic Traits, keep reading and check the list with tips in the later part of this blog~ For best team comps, see another blog of lineup guide in LDPlayer!

Build Efficient Team Compositions

Reaching high trait breakpoints requires careful planning:

• Core Champions: Identify champions that carry your target trait and build around them.
• Emblems: Use items like Spatulas or crafted emblems to grant the trait to additional champions, reducing the number of natural trait units needed.
• Flexibility: Include units that overlap multiple traits to activate secondary synergies while working toward your Prismatic goal.

Leverage the Trait Tracker Augment

The Trait Tracker augment in Set 14 lets you unlock Trait Mods after 2 combats, permanently boosting a champion’s traits without counting toward activation. Each extra Mod takes 1 additional round to unlock. Use them to "top off" traits—e.g., reaching a 6-unit breakpoint with just 5 units.

Utilize the Hack Mechanic

Set 14’s Hacks (3x per game) can supercharge Prismatic Traits:

• Trait Hacks: Boost odds for key champs/emblems.
• Augment Hacks: Unlock stronger trait boosts.
• Pivot based on Hacks—extra emblems or shops can help hit Prismatic breakpoints.

Here are new Encounters in Set 14

Garen (4%)	Garen summons a trainer golem with 3 Emblems attached.
Neeko (2.5%)	Neeko transforms all the monsters into crabs that drop bonus loot, but crabs on Stage 5+ are SUPER DEADLY.
Neeko (7.5%)	Neeko transforms all the monsters into crabs that drop bonus loot.
Twisted Fate (4%)	Twisted Fate grants you gold every stage.
Urgot (4%)	Urgot scrounges up some loot from a highly varied pool each stage.
Zed (4%)	Zed gives you an Artifact Anvil.

Manage Economy & Optimize Itemization

High trait breakpoints often require rare, high-cost champions or multiple emblems, so gold management is critical.

• Save Gold Early: Aim for 50 gold to maximize interest, allowing you to roll for 4- or 5-cost units later. Then hit key levels (e.g., Level 8 or 9) to increase shop odds for high-cost trait units.
• Buy & Craft Emblems: If emblems appear in the shop or via loot orbs, prioritize purchasing them to complete your Prismatic Trait.
• Support Your Carry: Equip your key trait champions with synergistic items to ensure they perform once the Prismatic Trait is active.
