Each of the Portals is named after a region in Runeterra, with early drops focused on game acceleration mixed with Common drops, and late-game Portals containing Uncommon and powerful drops.\u00a0 When do TFT Portals appear? Portals can appear at up to three Stages during a game: Stages 2-6, 3-3, or 4-3. Initially, Riot wasn't planning to have drops at each of the Stages, adding those over the course of Patches 13.20 and 13.21. After testing the Portals in Normals through PBE, changes were made that now include possible drops at each potential Stage where a Portal may show up.\u00a0 Each of the three Stages that may have a Portal will contain drops impacting the pace and meta of that game according to early, mid, and late-game strategies. All players will receive the same content from a Portal that opens up at one of the three possible Stages.\u00a0 Stage 2-6: Common and game-accelerating drops Stage 3-3: Rare and electric drops Stage 4-3: Uncommon and powerful drops Patch 13.11\u00a0TFT Portal drops in Normal mode Each Patch leading up to Set Nine may contain different regions that can drop at each Stage. Here are the possible drops that were included through TFT Set 8.5 Patch 13.10. Stage 2-6 Portal Portals that emerge at Stage 2-6 have a 100 percent chance of appearing. Regions that are featured are Demacia, Piltover, and Tagon. Starting with TFT Patch 13.10, a Portal will always appear at Stage 2-6. Demacia: Gain two item components Void: Gain a Thief's Gloves Zaun: Gain 10 gold Stage 3-3 Portal Portals at Stage 3-3 have a 100 percent chance of appearing.
