Insider's Guide to TFT: Riot's Secret Mechanism to Upgrade Jhin to 4 Stars, Did You Know?

TFT Season 10 is garnering significant attention from the gaming community, as Riot introduces a completely new theme along with a slew of intriguing mechanics. Among them, the Elderwood mechanic, which appeared in Season 4, has made a comeback in Season 10, promising a plethora of exciting experiences for gamers. And it's precisely through this mechanism that gamers have found a way to upgrade Jhin's power to 4 stars on the PBE server.

Specifically, Jhin is a unique 5-cost champion in TFT Season 10, possessing his own tribe/origin along with the ability to summon gunners to attack enemies. In previous seasons, Riot often intertwined Jhin with details related to the number 4, such as appearing frequently at a cost of 4 gold, unleashing skills 4 times, or dealing 4444 damage.

And in TFT Season 10, Jhin is the only champion capable of upgrading to the 4-star level thanks to the Elderwood mechanic. Specifically, by owning 2 two-star Jhins along with an Elderwood Jhin unit, you can upgrade this champion to 4 stars instead of the usual 3 stars. After this mechanism was discovered, many gamers expressed surprise and excitement over the strength and summoning ability of a powerful 4-star Jhin.

However, this will be challenging to achieve in ranked matches, as you'll need a substantial amount of gold to upgrade Jhin to 4 stars. Moreover, at level 9, you only have a mere 10% chance to acquire an Elderwood at a cost of 5 gold, so you'll need a significant advantage throughout the match to obtain the necessary level and gold to upgrade Jhin to 4 stars.

With just a short time left, TFT Season 10 will officially arrive on servers worldwide, undoubtedly sparking a huge craze with what has been showcased on the PBE server. We'll continuously provide the latest updates regarding this new season, so don't forget to stay tuned and not miss out!
