TFT: Could Hwei Be the Next Chibi Champion?

Chibi Champions have become a beloved aspect of TFT, easily captivating players since they are small and adorable versions of their favorite champions.

We are anticipating the new LoL champion Hwei to soon join the Chibi Champions in TFT. Here is everything we know so far!

What Are Chibi Champions?

The Chibi Champions are avatars replacing Little Legends in Teamfight Tactics. They were added to the game during the Set 6: Gizmos & Gadgets update in 2021. The Little Champions are the smaller counterparts of League of Legends Champions with unique taunts, dances, finishers, and many other personalized activities. They do not come with higher-level variants and every feature is included once they are added to the library.

Chibis are one of the best parts of TFT because of their cute appearance. However, not all champions of League of Legends have their own Chibi versions. The decision of which characters to be turned into Chibi Champions usually depends either on the fan's preferences or the theme of the specific TFT Set.

For that reason, fans try to predict which champions will join TFT as chibis all the time. Based on our observations, we believe that Hwei might be the next choice to join TFT's Chibi Champions.

During one of his latest streams, Mortdog received a donation from a fan suggesting that they should create a Chibi version of Hwei in TFT. The fan's proposal elaborated on how, when Hwei's Chibi wins, it could paint the opponent's most embarrassing or worst moment on the board.

Mortdog appeared amused by the idea and found it funny.

Given his tendency to listen to fans' ideas and consider them, there's a possibility we might see this idea materialize. Moreover, ever since Hwei was released in LoL, he has gained considerable favor among fans, which could further contribute to the creation of his Chibi version.
