Little Legends are the beloved, expressive avatars that follow players around the board in League of Legends and its auto-battler companion, Teamfight Tactics (TFT).
Unlike champions who level up through in-game experience, Little Legends advance visually through a collection system, transforming from charming creatures into dazzling, three-star powerhouses.
Leveling up a Little Legend does not improve its stats or affect gameplay; instead, it upgrades the cosmetic appearance, adding detail, effects, and visual flair.
The Path to Three Stars: Collecting Duplicates
The only way to level up a Little Legend is by collecting duplicate copies of the same creature and its specific variant. This process is exclusively tied to the acquisition of Little Legend eggs or special bundles.
The progression works as follows:
| Stars | Copies Required | Appearance |
| One Star | 1st Copy | The base version of the Little Legend. |
| Two Stars | 2nd Copy | The Little Legend gains a more detailed look and upgraded visual effects. |
| Three Stars | 3rd Copy | The final, most elaborate form, featuring unique animations, glow effects, and the ultimate visual style. |
Once a player obtains three copies of the exact same Little Legend (same type and same color/variant), that specific Little Legend variant is permanently upgraded to its maximum three-star status.
Where to Find Little Legend Duplicates
Duplicates are primarily acquired through:
- Little Legend Eggs: These are mystery boxes purchased in the client store using Riot Points (RP) or earned through the Battle Pass. Each egg contains a random Little Legend. The element of chance means players may need to open several eggs to find the specific variants they are looking for.
- Special Bundles: Occasionally, Riot Games releases bundles in the store that guarantee specific Little Legends or variants, offering a more direct route to collecting duplicates.
- The Capsule System: Some event passes or reward tracks grant cosmetic capsules that contain random Little Legends or variants.
It is important to note that once a Little Legend variant reaches three stars, you will no longer receive it from the corresponding egg pool, increasing the chances of acquiring other variants that you have not yet maxed out.
In summary, the key to leveling up your Little Legends in League of Legends’ Teamfight Tactics is a focused effort on acquisition. It’s a pure collection game: gather three copies of the exact same Little Legend variant from eggs or bundles to unlock its maximum visual potential and bring a three-star flair to your presence on the Convergence.
