Teamfight Tactics is heading back to the stars in Set 17, but this isn’t a simple rerun of Galaxies.
Space Gods traits in this set are imbued into cosmic deities, powerful boons, and fresh synergies that redefine how you build and pilot your comps.
There’s even a reimagined Carousel that takes place in the Realm of the Gods instead of a traditional item wheel!
Rather than leaning into hard sci‑fi, the team has built a universe where whimsical abstraction, bright color, and celestial spectacle define every board, champion, and trait. You’re not just piloting a comp—you’re vying for the favor of gods.
In this article, we’ll break down every Space Gods trait and origin in TFT Set 17: what they do and how they play. Let us walk you through the core mechanics you need to know before you queue into the new set.
Full list of Space Gods traits
As set artist Philip Zhang puts it, Riot wanted to “combine the fantasy elements, the colorful TFT art style and the space idea together and show you something that’s very new and refreshing.”
“We have reimagined the carousel… [you] go to this selection marketplace of the realm of the gods, where you meet the Gods, worship them and get their favors,” Zhang explained to media.
At the heart of Space Gods are the traits and origins that anchor each cosmic pantheon. Champions draw power from themes like the black‑hole‑forging Dark Stars, constellation‑warping Stargazers, swarm‑summoning Primordians, and high‑risk, high‑reward Anima tech.
Meeple
Meeple is just that – a trait of Meeps! Meeple are spacefaring champions alongside their companion Meeps, who join them in battle and empower their abilities in Meepy ways.
As you field and star up more Meeple, you’ll see more Meeps! One of the Meeps is so powerful, she’s been turned into a TFT-exclusive champion Meepsie, a two-cost tank.
Anima
Space Gods’ high risk trait, Anima rewards you with tech for every loss you suffer and every takedown you get.
Each time you reach 100 tech, they prototype new Anima Weapons. You can take them or save your tech to get more powerful weapons next time.
Anima Weapons can be used on any champion, but they are particularly effective when paired with specific Anima units. Anima builds on learnings from high risk traits in previous sets while enabling the flexible play that made 16 so successful.
Dark Star
Dark Star units are so powerful they can create Black Holes. They create a large Black Hole on the side of the board that consumes enemies at low health.
As you go up in the trait, your strongest Dark Star unit goes Supermassive and gets even more bonuses from the whole trait.
Stargazer
Stargazers chart a different constellation every game that determines the hex pattern that will empower allies in different ways.
As you level up, more hexes in the pattern are revealed.
There are 7 constellations to play, each with different effects. One of the Stargazer units, Lulu, even changes her spell depending on what constellation is chosen that game!
Factory New
Unique 5-cost champion Graves has a Factory New trait allowing you to select a permanent upgrade for him every few rounds.
Whether you’re looking for another tank unit or a heavy damage carry, Factory New allows players to transform him as needed.
Mecha
This trait consists of three units that can each be transformed into their ultimate form. Transformed Mechas take up two team slots, gain bonus stats and abilities, and contribute +1 to their trait.
Fateweaver
Fateweavers always have precision, meaning their abilities naturally have a chance to crit.
The more Fateweavers you play, the luckier you get, with each units’ abilities having a chance to upgrade to a stronger version.
