Teamfight Manager 2 patch 0.5.0_beta3 notes
Updated 2026-06-24 · based on v0.5.0_beta3
Quick Answer
Third 0.5.0 beta build. Adds a new champion, Nightmare — an Assassin with a stealth kit: Skill 1 fires a short-range nightmare shard up to 3 times, Skill 2 dashes for circular AoE then stealths, and the ultimate dashes to a target and (on a kill) teleports Nightmare next to any ally regardless of distance. Also adds Composition Test (5v5) and Laning Test practice features in the Training tab (5 uses/day each, participants consume HP) and an option to set the number of ban cards in Settings and multiplayer Friendly Matches. As a beta it can be unstable, Mods may not work, and saves may be incompatible until the official build updates.
Beta build. This is an opt-in Steam beta, not the default live version. Enable it via Steam Library → Properties → Betas → “beta”. Beta content changes frequently, Mods may not work, and saves may be incompatible until the official build ships. The current live version is v0.4.14.

New champion — Nightmare
An Assassin with a stealth effect. Skill 1 fires a short-range nightmare shard in a straight line, castable up to 3 times in succession; Skill 2 dashes a set distance dealing circular area damage then enters stealth; the ultimate dashes to a target and, if it kills, lets Nightmare teleport next to an ally regardless of distance.

Composition Test - 5v5 and Laning Test added to the Training tab. Each can be used up to 5 times per day, and players who participate consume HP.
