I'll Take That
When one of your traps activates, create an exact Fleeting copy of it in hand and reduce its cost by 2.
HEHEHE
+1 Starting Mana. When you play a Stolen card, or a Stolen ally strikes the enemy Nexus, plant 3 Poison Puffcaps in the enemy deck.
I'll Take That Too
When one of your traps activates, create an exact Fleeting copy of it in hand and reduce its cost by twice the number of traps on it.Review
Terrify effects are central to his early game control, though players note he can feel weak without further investment.
Pilfered Plans
Game Start: Draw a random card from the enemy hand and reduce its cost to 0.Review
Provides a free 0-cost card and even allows him to steal enemy champions, but the effect can be inconsistent.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
The Manaflow upgrade is considered crucial for his viability in challenging 10-star adventures, resolving early-game tempo issues and letting Teemo be played on turn 1.
Hohohoho
When the Foe draws a card 5+ traps on it, grant allies +1|+1 and the Foe discards a random card and draws 1.Review
This upgrade is really fun and the animation of the enemy drawing shrooms and auto-decking out never gets old. However, some feel its unnecessary and by the time this effect triggers, the game is already won.
Gameplay Tips
- Prioritize the Puffcap Proliferation Rune
This power is crucial for consistency, replanting puffcaps whenever the enemy Nexus takes damage to create a self-sustaining loop of trap generation.
- Navigate the Zoe Adventure Carefully
The 'Tough' Nexus and units in the 10-star Zoe adventure heavily counter standard puffcap damage. Rely on Mischiefmaker's Flute to brute-force the shroom count, or focus on winning via powerful stolen cards and board control.
- Bypass Cost-Increase Modifiers
Spirit Blossom Teemo is uniquely positioned to ignore modifiers that increase the cost of created cards (like the Misbegotten weekly), as his mushroom discounts naturally offset the penalty.
- Utilize Stress Defense
His base deck includes Stress Defense, an incredible tool for neutralizing massive enemy threats like Baron Nashor by setting their stats to 1/6.
