In Runeterra, something has come to life. Something very old there's something awful. Fiddlesticks is an ageless monster that lives on the edges of mortal society. It is drawn to places where there is a lot of fear and paranoia, where it feeds on people who are scared.
With its sharp scythe, the dirty, shabby creature sows fear, shattering the minds of those who are unlucky enough to be around when it comes. Be careful when you hear the crow or a shape that looks almost human whispering. Fiddlesticks is back again.
This article is about how to best place the scary fiddlesticks in your team in TFT to make sure he makes all your opponents flee in fear.
The scarecrow?
A reckless young wizard summoned something he couldn't control in a seaside tower long ago. The youngster saw something ancient. A black night. Something the universe frantically attempted to forget—and in an instant, the wizard, beast, and tower were gone to time. Stories say so.
In the Freljord, youngsters scare each other around the fire with tales of a monster that rises from untended graves in the ice, its body a shambling mess of helmets, bucklers, furs, and wood. Drunk sailors in Bilgewater talk of a mysterious atoll on which no one has ever returned.
An old Targonian tradition tells of how a child of twilight snatched the only joy from a ragged, mumbling nightmare, while experienced Noxian warriors prefer the tale of a lonely farmhand who was blamed for a poor crop and eaten to the crows, later returning as a demon.
Demacia. Ixtal. Piltover. Ionia. Shurima. These stories are retold by innumerable storytellers over Runeterra. Stories about a terrifying creature that appears human. These are fables intended scare youngsters. Fiddlesticks the foolish old monster would never scare anyone. Until now.
Fear and paranoia have awakened something in Demacian hinterlands. The capital's rural protectorates are emptying in days. Travelers leave ancient pathways. Guard patrols fail to report from kingdom borders. Wild-eyed survivors claw at their faces from the protection of wayside pubs, screaming of birds that aren't crows, noises that aren't sounds, and a lopsided monstrosity in the shape of a scarecrow that croaks in the stolen voices of the dead.
Most blame rogue wizards. Rebellion is rife with such charges. Truth is terrible. As in the story of the young wizard in his coastal tower, something has returned. An evil gone from the planet for countless centuries—long enough that the warnings of a budding humanity became gossip, myth, legend, and finally fables. An extraterrestrial being that resists most modern magic. Since forever. Its name frightens even animals.
Another narrative, virtually forgotten, has returned to the hinterlands. A legend about a huge evil that takes the form of people who dread it. All living creatures' horror, born in creation's first horrific scream. Pre-demon. Stories say so.
Fiddlesticks exists.
