REMIX RUMBLE PASS(ES)

With three sets a year (hands up!), we no longer have a mid-set to reset our Pass. And now that sets are longer, we're dividing our Pass into two acts. Both Passes will offer different rewards, although they’ll share a few core components such as Treasure Tokens and Star Shards. Each Pass has a 1295 RP upgradeable version that’ll grant you VIP access to Arenas, Tacticians, and more! And if you want to see how far you can get on the free version of the Pass—no sweat, you can always upgrade at a later point to claim all your rewards. Speaking of rewards, let’s check em’ out!

To see all the details for the first Act of our Pass+ check out the Pass and More article here!

K/DA IN THE CONVERGENCE

K/DA in the Convergence is available via Treasure Realms as Star content from launch (11AM PT like other store content) to the release of patch 14.02.

---

CHIBIS

Ready. Sett. Chibi! Chibi Sett can be directly purchased at any time after release (patch 12.23) for 1900 RP. Chibi Sett comes with his own signature Boom, Haymaker, to remind your foes that just because he’s smol doesn’t mean he ain’t swol.

Talk a Chibi-sized game, take a TFT-sized loss. HEARTSTEEL Sett doesn’t just have the most wholesome relationship with his mom, he’s also (less importantly) the only Chibi with a finisher that summons an ice cream truck to do away with his opponent… Heist successful! Chibi HEARTSTEEL Sett will be leaving Treasure Realms at the end of patch 13.23, so act fast before this HEARTSTEEL Chad leaves you HEARTBROKEN and sad.

Releasing with patch 13.24 are Chibi Akali and Chibi K/DA ALL OUT Akali. Chibi Akali proves that cold steel, a target, and some ramen are all anyone really needs. You can pick her base Chibi form up for 1900 RP, which comes with her Perfect Execution Boom!

Chibi K/DA ALL OUT Akali dives into the Treasure Realms with patch 13.24 as Star content with a knack for throwing stars—I mean kunais. As (pop) Star content, she’ll also come with her own finisher, screeching onto the screen and leaving the tread marks of defeat on your opponents. Both Chibi K/DA ALL OUT Akali and Chibi Headliner K/DA POP/STARS Kai’Sa (below) will gap close out of Treasure Realms on patch 14.02, but their base Chibis will stick around!

Making her debut with patch 13.24, Chibi Headliner K/DA POP/STARS Kai’Sa is the Chibi with the longest name and the most stylish moves. Chibi Headliner K/DA POP/STARS Kai’Sa is our first global release of a Prestige-tier Tactician, with brand-new splash, visuals, and finisher. This tier of Tacticians is designed for the superfans to express their super fandom.

NEW RANKED SEASON AND RANKED CHANGES

TL;DR: Because we’re moving to 3 sets a year with no mid-sets, we need to make some updates to smooth out the climb. These updates include the release of Emerald tier, a reduction in penalties for LP decay below Challenger, and an increase in the banked game max to 14 to align with LoL PC. Masters+ players can now enjoy a full 2-week vacation!

• Climbing will be slightly easier & faster to rank up to Platinum & below
• Higher ranks may take longer, because we have a longer season (no mid-set reset), we’re adjusting the climb to fit it’s new length (but not exactly in a 1:1)
• Emerald Tier is here
• Inactivity penalty changed! Days banked 10 ⇒ 14 (aka Masters+ players can now enjoy a full 2-weeks off)
• LP Decay adjusted! For Master, the new penalty for inactivity will be -50 LP (from -250)
• LP Decay adjusted! For Grandmaster, the new penalty for inactivity will be -150 LP (from -250)
• LP Decay for Challenger players remains the same, -250LP
• When Remix Rumble goes live in your region, you'll be able to start climbing the ladder immediately
• Depending on your rank in the previous season, you will start anywhere from Iron II to Bronze IV. This is true for both Double Up and Standard ranked.
• You will get 5 provisional matches after the reset, meaning you will not lose any LP for sub-top 4 placements in your first 5 ranked games of the new stage. You'll also gain extra LP for finishing top 4, so best of luck!
• Your Hyper rating will be reset to 500
• Note that there’s still a 24h period of delay between mobile and PC going live

Portals, Headliner, Augments, and a new item…looks like we’ve got some changing systems ahead! For a detailed breakdown check out our mechanics article!

---

HEADLINER

First up, the big one. 2-star Headliners can be purchased from the shop (they appear at the far right) with an additional plus one to one of their traits, and have a unique Headliner bonus.

• Purchases at 2-stars from the shop
• Add an additional plus one to one of their traits
• Have unique Headliner bonuses
• Appear in every shop when you do not have a Headliner
• Appear in 1 in 4 shops even when you DO have a Headliner (pivoting is welcome)
• You must sell your current Headliner to purchase a new one
• Headliners take 3 units from the pool
• Headliners have a small amount of bad luck protection (you won't see the same ones consecutively)
• Headliners for units with less than half their total unit copies in the pool are not offered

---

PORTALS

Portals are back, but they’re toned down a bit since the Region Portals of Runeterra Reforged, both to allow everything else in the set to be as loud and energetic as possible, but also because of our additional mechanic (Headliner) adding to the game variance. We’re starting with a smaller list of unique Portals, but will be adding a few more Portals as the set goes on (these ones will be a bit crazier but still not as wild as House Lightshield).

There are seven categories of Portals.

And don’t worry, Scuttle Puddle is back!

• Vote for 1 of 3 Portals at the start of the game to modify the game’s rules.
• Portal categories: Augments, Gold, Champions, Items, Combat, Unique, Headliner

---

LEGENDS REMOVED

We talk more extensively about our removal of Legends in both our Learnings article and our mechanics article.

• Legends have been removed.

---

LEVELING CHANGES

TFT goes to 10! We’re reworking the leveling system so each level has a distinct purpose for your comp. Need to 3-star your Legendary 5-costs—go fast 10! Odds have also changed to sharpen each Level’s identity (see next section).

• Level 10 is now the max level you can achieve at any point
• Level 5 to 6: 24 ⇒ 20xp
• Level 6 to 7: 40 ⇒ 36xp
• Level 7 to 8: 60 ⇒ 48xp
• Level 8 to 9: 84 ⇒ 80xp
• Level 9 to 10: 100 ⇒ 84xp
• Total XP need to hit max: 228 ⇒ 288

---

SHOP ODDS

Roll chances have been adjusted giving each level a clearer purpose. Reroll 2-costs at Level 6, 3-costs at level 7, 4-costs are easiest to find at level 8, and getting the optimal 5-cost to finish your comp is best done at 9. Level 10 can allow you to pursue those ephemeral (SAT words never die) 3-star 5-costs!

• Level 6: 25/40/30/5/0% ⇒ 30/40/25/5/0%
• Level 7: 19/30/40/10/1% ⇒ 19/35/35/10/1%
• Level 8: 16/20/35/25/4% ⇒ 18/25/36/18/3%
• Level 9: 9/15/30/30/16% ⇒ 10/20/25/35/10%
• Level 10: 5/10/20/40/25 (No change)

---

UNIT POOL CHANGES

At its core, TFT is a draft game. Our shared pool of champions creates an additional layer of strategy via scouting, contesting, and informing when to more aggressively roll down to find specific units. These "bag sizes" as we refer to them have been the same since TFT's release, and we felt like Remix Rumble was a good time to re-evaluate, especially due to the addition of Headliners. Our goal here is to keep TFT in a healthy state for the long-term by reducing power inflation caused by easily 3-starring the right unit, and we're reducing bag sizes at each tier as a step in that direction. Here's what those bag sizes look like now, though we may continue to change them over the coming months & years as we collect more data & feedback!

• 1-cost copies: 29 ⇒ 22
• 2-cost copies: 22 ⇒ 20
• 3-cost copies: 18 ⇒ 17
• 4-cost copies: 12 ⇒ 10
• 5-cost copies: 10 ⇒ 9

---

PLAYER DAMAGE

Player damage is a tricky system in TFT. As a reminder, when you lose, you take damage that is a total of a flat value (based on Stage) and an additional 2 damage per living unit on the board.

We’re lowering player damage from huge losses, but making losses in the mid-game sting a bit more. The goal here is to have a bit more consistency and avoid situations where you take 18 damage from that Cruel Pact player in the early game.

• Base Stage Damage: 0/3/4/6/9/15 ⇒ 0/3/5/7/9/15
• 4th Unit Alive: 2 ⇒ 1 Damage

---

MANA GENERATION

Champions gain Mana from attacking, Augments, Items, etc. But one of the less visible ways tanks gain mana is from taking damage. We’re lowering the amount of Mana they get from being damaged as premiere tanks (e.g. Cho’Gath from Runeterra Reforged) have been dependent on this bonus for many-a-sets.

• Mana gained from post mitigation damage: 7% ⇒ 5%

---

LOOT

Duplicators enable access to 3-stars. You know what else does? Headliner. We’re lowering the rate of Duplicators now that Headliners already provide access to starred up units.

• Duplicators are now less likely to show up from bonus orbs.

---

CRITICAL STRIKE CHANCE

Infinity Edge and Jeweled Gauntlet have been changed so that they’re not wasted when units already have spell crit. We’re reverting this excess crit to avoid Triple Infinity Edge being too powerful with our new Critical Strike traits like Executioners.

• Excess Critical Strike Chance is now converted at 50% instead of the increased 80% from Horizonbound

---

TARGET DUMMIES

No brains or brawn.

• All Target Dummy Base HP: 700 ⇒ 625

---

CAROUSEL

Care-ousel.

• Carousels can no longer contain duplicate Emblems.

Large, like the list of bands to get you started in our gameplay overview.

---

3RD PARTY FRIENDS

There’s so much to uncover with Remix Rumble, and these patch notes can’t possibly cover it all. Good thing we have a supportive ecosystem of 3rd party friends that can give you specifics for the new content not covered here.

• TFTactics

• Blitz.gg

---

---

As a whole we’re reducing econ inflation from some of the highs we’ve seen in Runeterra Reforged.

• AFK Gold: 22 ⇒ 18
• Binary Airdrop will now use the champion’s item recommendations to pick the airdrop item. This item can not be the same as an item that the champion has already equipped.

• Young Wild & Free: 1 component ⇒ 3 gold

---

CORE ITEMS

Many of our double component items (2x B.F. Sword, Needlessly Large Rod, Negatron Cloak, etc.) have been dependent on providing large stats that other items amplify. We’re giving these items a generic effect that will make them a bit stronger as a single standalone item. As a consequence, their big stats have been lowered.

Bramble Vest is becoming less of a hard counter to AD Crit and getting more general tankiness. It’ll still be your go-to against AD heavy lobbies, but should be slightly less of a “paper beats rock” situation. Dragon’s Claw is also getting a similar treatment with 10 less MR and bonus max Health.

As we continue to make traits and other effects that allow spells to critically strike, we don't want players feeling bad about having built Infinity Edge or Jeweled Gauntlet. So they'll grant some additional power if the player already has spell crit.

• Bramble Vest Armor: 75 ⇒ 55
• Bramble Vest Damage: 75/100/150/200 (by star level) ⇒ 100
• Bramble Vest new: Grants 5% max health.
• Bramble Vest new: Take 8% reduced damage from attacks.
• Bramble Vest no longer reduces Critical Strike Damage
• Blue Buff Ability Power: 25 ⇒ 20
• Blue Buff no longer grants 10 Mana after Takedowns within 3 seconds of casting their ability.
• Blue Buff new: After a takedown, deal 15% increased damage for 8 seconds.
• Deathblade Attack Damage: 66 ⇒ 55
• Deathblade new: Grants 8% bonus damage
• Dragon’s Claw Magic Resist: 65 ⇒ 55
• Dragon’s Claw new: Grants 5% max health.
• Infinity Edge new: If the holder’s spells can already critically strike, gain 10% Critical Strike Damage
• Guinsoo’s Rageblade Attack Speed: 18% ⇒ 15%
• Guinsoo’s Rageblade AS Per Attack: 4% ⇒ 5%
• Jeweled Gauntlet new: If the holder’s spells can already critically strike, gain 10% Critical Strike Damage
• Morellonomicon new: Burn and Wound apply on Ability and Attack damage.
• Quicksilver Magic Resist: 30 ⇒ 20
• Quicksilver CC Immunity: 18s ⇒ 14s
• Quicksilver new: While CC Immune, gain 6% Attack Speed every 2 seconds (the AS lasts after immunity ends).
• Night Harvester replaced with Steadfast Heart

• Rabadon’s Deathcap new: Grants 8% bonus damage
• Rapid Firecannon replaced with Red Buff
• newRed Buff Attack Speed: 45%
• Red Buff no longer grants +1 Range
• Red Buff Bonus Damage: 8% ⇒ 8% (unchanged)
• Red Buff Attacks and Abilities 1% Burn and 33% Wound targets for 5s.

• Steadfast Heart: Take 8% reduced damage. While above 50% Health, take 15% reduced damage instead.
• Warmog’s Armor Health: 800 ⇒ 650
• Warmog’s Armor new +8% Max HP

---

ARTIFACT ITEMS

Artifacts allow us to keep adding unique things to play with, so we’re welcoming the return of a few favorite Shimmerscale items. Most Artifacts are receiving small buffs to keep them up to par with their rarity.

• Deathfire Grasp Mana: 30 ⇒ 15
• Deathfire Grasp Ability Power: 50 ⇒ 45
• Diamond Hands has been added to the Artifact pool
• Diamond Hands Health: 300 ⇒ 400
• Diamond Hands Gold Per Proc: 2 ⇒ 1

SYSTEM CHANGES

• With Carousel gone, the starting unit you receive is now a random 4 or 5-cost. Units will be of the same cost for all players.
• After the carousel round, Choncc will come by to give you special loot orbs. More and more rewards will be given out the later into the game it gets.
• At 50 Tactician Health, the player will receive a large golden orb with some special items to help them catch back up.
• Two new items were added! Choncc's Prowler's Claw and Choncc's Rocket-Propelled Fist. Expect to see these in special loot drops.
• Loot drops and patterns have been updated.
• Both Region Portals and Remastered Portals are available options.

NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE UPDATES

• New players will only be able to queue for Normals, all other queues will be locked
• During a player’s first 3 games, new players will see bots in their games. These bots will adapt to their skill, providing a more gradual onramp to TFT.
• Players will only see these bots in their first 3 games. Players WILL NOT encounter them in any queue after their first 3 games.
• Established players who have already played more than 3 games of TFT won’t see any changes unless they queue with a new player, and they won’t be able to join any other queue besides Normals while in a Lobby with a new player. Prism’s note to these established players queuing with newcomers: “Please be kind to our bots - they’re nowhere close to Challengers, but still appreciate a “‘gg wp.’”

REGION PORTALS

• Scuttle Puddle and Beats By Scuttle have been re-enabled. Rejoice!
• Scuttle Dragon (XL Scuttle Crab) now drops more gold and an additional item!

---

OVERTIME BUFF

• URF Overtime buff no longer grants bonus AP or AD.
• Overtime now grants a stacking buff every second that gives 10% more damage, 10% more attack speed, 10% less healing and shielding received (capped at 70%), 10% less crowd control duration (capped at 70%).
• Also grants a flat movement speed bonus (unchanged)

Even with changes so large, I’ll always be there for you.

UNITS

• Bel’Veth’s Royal Maelstrom now targets all enemies at 3-stars
• Bel’Veth’s Royal Maelstrom base Lashes: 6/6/30 ⇒ 6/6/25

• Nashor’s Tooth and the Baron’s Gift can no longer be placed on mana-less champions.

Large, like the pile of Poros chilling in my lobbies.

PORTALS

• Scuttle Puddle has been temporarily disabled as we work on resolving a game breaking bug with the Region Portal. This also impacts Beats by Scuttle.

TRAITS

Challenjour ⇒ Challenger

The jump from Multicaster 3 to 4 is too large compared to other traits. Multicasters have the issue of bursting boards too quickly AND they're able to do so even faster with the bonus on-attack Mana at MC 4. By nerfing the trait slightly at 3, and more significantly at 4, we’re able to slow down the pace of combat, while also making the power jump a bit less sharp. MC 3 will now be your core damage bump, while MC 4 is for allowing your other Multicasters to cast more.

• Challenger Attack Speed: 30/60/95/140 ⇒ 30/65/105/150
• Multicaster Multicaster Bonus Cast Reduced Effectiveness: 55/30/25% ⇒ 55/35/35%

---

UNITS: TIER 2

Twisted Fate is the only unit we’re shipping a nerf to, and it’s pretty big. Even after nerfs in our 13.20 mid-patch update, TF continues to have the deck stacked in his favor. It’s time to reshuffle the cards. TF will also be impacted by our nerfs to Multicaster (above section), and Blue Buff (see items). Additionally, TF’s best friends are also getting lighter nerfs.

The amount of nerfs and severity of the Twisted Fate-specific nerf below may seem extreme, but so is Twisted Fate’s performance, who at two-stars on Stage 3 outplaces most comps with a two-star 4-cost.

• Twisted Fate Stacked Deck AoE Delayed Damage: 185/275/435% AP ⇒ 155/235/380% AP

---

UNITS: TIER 3

Our AD ratio buff for Darius failed to cement him as a viable reroll carry. We’re adjusting his damage dropoff on resets to bring dunking back in style like it’s 1996 (the release of the original Space Jam film).

Miss Fortune is another reroll carry that has just missed the spot (despite marking it). We planned on buffing her already, but with our nerf to her core item (Blue Buff), we’re giving her an even buffer buff.

Even after our Nautilus buff in 13.20 to his bonus Armor and MR, players still aren’t giving him their Chain Vests and Negatron Cloaks. Instead of letting him sink to the bottom of the Guardian’s Sea, we’re increasing both his base defensive stats and his passive amplification. So go ahead and give him that tank item—he really wants it, and I’m getting a bit worried about him.

Sona and Vel’Koz are receiving smaller nerfs to account for the power they received with our Multicaster rework last patch. For more context on their nerfs, you can scroll up to the above section (TIER 2).

• Darius Noxian Guillotine Recast Effectiveness: 82/85/90% ⇒ 90/95/100%
• Miss Fortune X Marks the Spot damage: 225/340/550% AP ⇒ 240/360/580% AP
• Miss Fortune max Mana buff: 10/60 ⇒ 0/50
• Nautilus Armor/MR: 35 ⇒ 40
• Nautilus bonus Resistance Amplification: 35% ⇒ 40%
• Sona Crescendo damage: 180/270/440% AP ⇒ 170/255/420% AP
• Taric Mana nerf: 0/65 >>> 15/85
• Vel’Koz Plasma Fission damage: 245/365/600% AP ⇒ 220/330/550% AP

UNITS: TIER 4

Ensuring all 4-costs have viable carry lines to make each playstyle competitive as we approach the set championship.

Like Miss Fortune above, Silco is getting a slightly larger buff to offset the nerf of his go-to Blue Buff. Reducing his max Mana by 5 also makes Spear of Shojin closer in power to Blue Buff for him in situations where you can only manage 1 Tear.

• Fiora Health: 850 ⇒ 950
• Kai’Sa Icathian Rain damage: 75/111/240% AP ⇒ 80/120/240% AP
• Nasus Armor/MR: 50 ⇒ 55
• Sejuani Fury of the North Passive on attack True Damage Health ratio: 1.5/1.5/10% HP ⇒ 1/1/10% HP
• Silco Undercity Tactics damage: 75/115/425% AP ⇒ 85/125/425% AP
• Silco Mana: 0/50 ⇒ 0/45

---

UNITS: TIER 5

Econ, fast 8/9 strategies are just slightly weaker than where we’d like them to be, and that weakness mostly lies in a few of our 4 and 5-costs being a tad weak.

• Ahri Essence Thief steal Damage: 90/135/1000% AP ⇒ 105/150/1000% AP
• Bel’Veth Royal Maelstrom lash damage: 70% AD ⇒ 85% AD
• Bel’Veth Armor/MR: 50 ⇒ 60
• Ryze Bilgewater Mana buff: 30/100 ⇒ 30/90
• Ryze Piltover Mana buff: 30/100 ⇒ 30/90

AUGMENTS

We’re taking away the awkward Built Different offerings on 3-2 when you likely already have a few traits active while also giving the Augment a bit more Health to feel truly built up.

Stellacorn’s Blessing has felt far from blessed for a while now, but we’re going lighter on the buff to ensure Targon/Gunner comps don’t have a Mount Targon-sized power ceiling.

The best parts of TFT are synergizing items/champions/traits and making a few champions the star of the show. Unburdened is the antithesis to that statement, and we’ve seen both player data and vocal feedback validating that. Instead of buffing or reworking an Augment that players just aren't excited about, we’re pulling it entirely and saving you the Augment reroll.

While we discussed nerfing the TF Legend Augment package (notably Pandora's) we saw that the success of the Legend was tied to the success of other balance outliers that we've nerfed in various ways, so we leaving the Augment in tact as we await the impact of our changes here.

• Binary Airdrop no longer appears on 2-1
• Built Different II Health 225-475 ⇒ 250-500
• Built Different II no longer appears on 3-2
• Built Different III Health 300-550 ⇒ 300-600
• Built Different III no longer appears on 3-2
• Cybernetic Leech III Health 225 ⇒ 250
• Endless Hordes + Gold 12 ⇒ 14
• Golden Ticket chance for a free refresh 50% ⇒ 45%
• Parting Gifts max Health shield 40% ⇒ 50%
• Riftwalk AP 35 ⇒ 38
• Stationary Support I: Now delays all rewards (Training Dummy and Support Item) until after 8 player combats
• Stellacorn’s Blessing (Targon) Attack speed 35% ⇒ 40%
• Unburdened I and Unburdened II have been disabled
• Wandering Trainer Gold 4 ⇒ 6

ITEMS

We’re taking a light pass on Mana items since they disproportionately lead to faster combat states. Blue Buff and Protector’s Vow are meant to stand out and provide an early cast, but we're making that early cast later by lowering the starting Mana to 30 (Blue Buff is 30 since you get 10 reduction). As a final note, Blue Buff and Protector's Vow have been too strong for a while now, which means champions who use them well benefit far more than champions who have strong synergies with other items. Our rebalance here is part of a minor champion rebalancing for champions dependent on these items.

Blue Buff and Spear of Shojin are actually too far apart in power for most champions once you do the math. We’re bringing them closer together with our Blue Buff nerf, but also giving Spear of Shojin a bit more SPEAR for AD casters.

• Crownguard AP upon shield expiration: 40 ⇒ 35
• Gargoyle Stoneplate Base Armor & MR: 25 ⇒ 30
• Gargoyle Stoneplate Armor & MR Per Enemy: 15 ⇒ 10
• Spear of Shojin AD: 15% ⇒ 25%
• Blue Buff starting Mana: 40 ⇒ 20
• Protector’s Vow starting Mana: 45 ⇒ 30

Small, like this reminder that Fluft of Poros is only available for the rest of this patch. Starting in 13.22 Chibi DRX Aatrox will replace Fluft’s banner!

TRAITS

Ionia 9 often leads to weaker Ionians receiving the enlightenment bonus which can be a bummer for your itemized Xayah or Ahri. By significantly raising the enlightenment bonus we can ensure that even your lowly 1-costs can become a threat when enlightened—that’s just the power of education!

• Ionia, Ionian Bonus: 100/200/380% ⇒ 100/200/425%

AUGMENTS

Infamous, unshackled, and all too comfortable.

• Petricite Shackles now only gives 2 Demacia units

TOOLTIPS

• Tiniest Titan: Updated tooltip to clarify that both the heal and gold are only triggered after PVP rounds
• Caretaker’s Ally: Tooltip now states that you gain one copy of the Tier 2 champion immediately.

• It’s so coarse: Battle of the Sands can no longer be offered alongside Shifting Sands or Fleshing Arena.
• Units spawned in overtime now receive overtime buffs.
• Valar’s Hollow now has its proper tooltip back.
• If Aatrox has a Demacian Radiant item, he now properly keeps it when he respawns.
• Aatrox can no longer pass the Darkin Blade to an ally marked for revival by Shadow Isles Ryze.
• Fiora now always jumps to the nearest target when her spell kills someone.
• Fiora’s target is no longer prevented from attacking during the spell.
• Fixed a bug where Joke (Ctrl+1) and Taunt (Ctrl+2) animations stop working after player spams the emote during a Hyper Roll match
• Umbra (All Tiers All Variants) Health Bar no longer blocks the Joke (Ctrl + 1) animation
• Fixed a bug where the Reckoner Arena Flames wouldn't shoot out sometimes despite hearing the SFX when a player would tap on this interaction of the Reckoner Arena
• I can’t see without my glasses: Cloud Catcher Hushtail tier 1 now has their glasses back on the model to match their splash
• PROJECT: Abyssia no longer has a brief delay for their taunt animation (ctrl+2)
• The Darkin Blade (Chibi Aatrox Boom) Health loss no longer triggers before The Darkin Blade boom hits the opponent

FLUFT OF POROS

Legends say this fluft heralds the pororagnarok. Fluft of Poros has their own finisher animation starring an avalanche of cuddly Poros, which is perhaps the best way to receive the news of getting 8th place.

• Our new Mythic Tactician, Fluft of Poros, is available as Star Content via Treasure Realms until the end of patch 13.21 (next patch). There will also be Poro variants, as highlighted drops.
• After Fluft of Poros, in patch 13.22, we'll be bringing back DRX Aatrox for one patch only.

TEAM PLANNER: REMINDERS

We’re introducing a new feature to enhance Team Planner and your roll downs! As a reminder, you can adjust your Team Planner loadout on the fly!

• Plan your team comp in Team Planner, then turn on in-game reminders to see your selected champions marked in the Shop.

Large, like my love for Fluft of Poros.

TRAITS

We’re flattening out the power curve for Bilgewater to make it appropriately strong as you continue to reach high breakpoints. The Bilgewater 9 buff is focused on the flat cannonball damage, as you’re typically fielding a crew that’s not all capable of utilizing the stored damage dealt percentage.

Multicaster comps have been dependent on hitting 3-star of everything due to the way their trait amplifies the base damage of their spell. Once they’re 3-star, and you have all 4 of them, they’ll be able to one-shot boards, but they often struggle to make it there. To solve these problems we’re doing a few individual champion changes, alongside reworking the trait to have smoother power breakpoints (2/3/4), and a separate lever to give power to non-itemized Multicasters at Multicaster (4) rather than giving them more damage burst.

We expect Mutlicaster (4) reroll to be the best version of the comp and alongside buffs to Twisted Fate and Sona, 2/3 Multicaster can be viable splashes in other comps like Demacia, Bilgewater, and Sorcs. Be sure to try out the reroll verticals and splashes alike and let us know what you think!

Ionia’s Emblem is providing far too much power for it also to contribute to a trait with powerful breakpoints so we’re taking some of its Attack Speed away.

Shurima is struggling at the moment, and their main carry, Azir, is really weak, both in Shurima verticals and Strategist-heavy boards. We’ve got buffs for both of these traits, with our Strategist buffs in the small section focused on empowering the deeper 4 and 5 Strategist.

With Zaun, we’re buffing the Overcharged versions of each chem-mod to ensure all variations of Zaun 4 and 6 are worth chasing!

• Bilgewater 3 (unchanged but here for reference): 100 + 33% damage dealt
• Bilgewater 5 Damage: 150 + 55% damage dealt ⇒ 170 + 60% damage dealt
• Bilgewater 7 (unchanged but here for reference): 325 + 70% damage dealt
• Bilgewater 9 flat Damage: 800 ⇒ 999
• REWORKED Multicaster 2/4 ⇒ 2/3/4
• Multicaster 2: Cast 1 additional time at 55% reduced effectiveness.
• Multicaster 3: Cast 1 additional time at 30% reduced effectiveness.
• Multicaster 4: Cast 1 additional time at 20% reduced effectiveness. Multicaster attacks grant 5 bonus Mana.
• Ionia Emblem bonus Attack Speed: 33% ⇒ 25%
• Rogue Bleed damage: 60% ⇒ 55%
• Shurima Ascension bonus: 0/20/50/90% ⇒ 0/30/60/111%
• Vanquisher Bonus Crit Chance: 15/35/75% ⇒ 15/35/55%
• Zaun, Adaptive Implant Bonus AP/AD/Omnivamp: 30% ⇒ 35%
• Zaun, Shimmer Injector Overcharged Heal: 80% ⇒ 100%
• Zaun, Virulent Bioware Overcharged Damage over time: 3.5% Max HP/s ⇒ 4% Max HP/s
• Zaun, Unstable Chemtank HP Bonus: 30% ⇒ 40%
• Zaun, Robotic Arm Overcharge Bugfix: Now deals pre-mitigation true damage (this is a buff)

UNITS: TIER 1

We’re flattening Cho’Gath’s bonus HP on kill across star levels. This will allow him to fit better under the power ceiling of a 1-cost that he’s so often seen bursting through at 3-stars, but this will also help out the lowly 1-star Cho that you play just to hit the Void or Bruiser trait breakpoint.This will also make the difference between hitting that 2-star Cho early versus later a bit smaller.

Orianna is our weakest 1-cost whose single target damage and shielding fail to make her a unit worth fielding outside of being a trait-bot. But unlike Orianna, who gave her heart to her father, we have the heart to give her some buffs that will allow her to cast more frequently via a lower max Mana, and a higher Attack Speed. Maybe one day, she too will get to be an item holder.

• Cho’Gath Feast Health On Kill: 30/35/40 ⇒ 35
• Graves Smoke Grenade damage: 220/220/230% AD ⇒ 200/200/205% AD
• Orianna Attack Speed 0.7 ⇒ 0.75
• Orianna Attack Damage 40 ⇒ 35
• Orianna max Mana buff: 30/80 ⇒ 20/70

UNITS: TIER 2

Taliyah is currently underperforming even in her Double Trouble dream comp. With this buff, we’re not only giving her some compensation damage after our Multicaster rework, but also attempting to make her more playable in both Shurima and Mutlicaster comps.

Sett’s our best 2-cost right now, finding success at the core of our two most dominant comps (Ionia Vanquisher and Ashe Reroll). His utility and tankiness make him a snowball unit to slam items on early, and a consistent frontliner late.

• Taliyah Seismic Shove damage: 180/270/410% AP ⇒ 200/300/450% AP
• Taliyah Seismic Shove passive Boulder damage: 110/160/240% AP ⇒ 120/180/270% AP
• Sett max Mana nerf: 40/90 ⇒ 60/110
• Sett Ionia Bonus Health: 200 ⇒ 180

UNITS: TIER 3

Dare-bear (that’s my pet name for Darius btw) has failed to execute as a reroll carry in Horizonbound. With a better AD ratio, he’s not only going to be much stronger with AD items, but also with the Noxus traits.

Nautilus just really wants that Chain Vest and Negatron Cloak that you’ve been giving Cho’Gath this whole time. He’ll do wonders with them, he promises!

Rek’Sai’s weakness is punching through beefy frontliners. While our rework that added the marked system helped her here, it required hitting 3-stars for the Void Burrower to do just that—burrow into the enemy backline. We’re now allowing her marks to persist until the end of combat instead of being consumed on the next bite to help her repeat casts cut through those high Armor Bastions and Thornmail enthusiasts. To account for this added power, and because her 3-star version was already performing well post-rework, we’re lowering her damage ratio on the initial bite especially at 3-stars.

Big things are happening with Multicaster this patch. One of them is the Sona rework, which will sharpen her role as a utility carry who can continually amp your team's Attack Speed! Try positioning her to hit your other Multicasters at Multicaster 4, Etwahl surely be successful.

Editor’s note: Etwahl is the name of Sona’s instrument, but even knowing that will not save the pun above.

• Darius Noxian Guillotine AD ratio: 300% AD ⇒ 350% AD
• Nautilus max Mana buff: 80/160 ⇒ 60/140
• Nautilus bonus Resistance Amplification: 30% ⇒ 35%
• NEW Rek’Sai’s bite marker will now persist until the end of combat instead of being consumed.
• Rek’Sai Furious Bite AD ratio: 290/290/300% ⇒ 250/250/255%
• Rek’Sai Marked Bite true damage AD ratio: 135/145/150% ⇒ 190/195/200%
• REWORK: Sona’s Ability now deals 33% less damage to each unit hit
• Sona Crescendo Attack Speed: 35/40/45% for 5 seconds ⇒ 20/25/35% for the rest of combat
• Sona Crescendo will always hit allies on her left and right. You now do not have to awkwardly position your carries in front of her
• Sona Crescendo Damage: 105/155/255 ⇒ 180/270/440
• Sona starting Mana buff: 40/90 ⇒ 35/90

UNITS: TIER 4

Aphelios is getting a base AD buff that may not seem worth dancing in the moonlight over, but will certainly put pep in your step for those running Gunner verticals (which greatly amplifies base AD).

Even when in a balanced state, Fiora’s untargetability created frustrating scenarios where you’re forced to helplessly watch your units save their spells for her untargetability window. So we’re cutting out the untargetable window, while giving her a large compensation buff to the rest of her kit since she’ll be significantly more vulnerable!

• Aphelios AD: 60 ⇒ 65
• REWORK: Fiora is no longer untargetable during Blade Waltz and now takes 30% less damage while Waltzing instead
• Fiora max Mana buff: 70/160 ⇒ 70/140
• Fiora Blade Waltz AD ratio: 140/140/240% ⇒ 160/160/240%

UNITS: TIER 5

Darkin has always been a great trait, but Aatrox has hardly been able to carry the reputation of his passive trait, let alone his team. We’re shifting some of the power from the Darkin buff into Aatrox to create a world where Aatrox can be your carry, and not just your world ender.

Gangplank's best cases are already powerful but he's too unreliable as a carry. We're reducing the situations where he crashes his ship ineffectively to make his performance and helmsmanship more consistent.

Last patch we introduced a new carry-focused Upgrade for Heimmerdinger called the Refractor Beam. It opened up with more of a fizzle than a beam, with its power only really coming online after three dedicated Upgrades. We’re giving the Upgrade a smoother power curve with an even more powerful triple Upgrade fantasy, so be sure to try it out!

• Aatrox Darkin Bonus Health: 350 ⇒ 250
• Aatrox Armor & MR: 60 ⇒ 70
• Aatrox World Ender AD ratio: 275/275/2500% ⇒ 290/300/2500%
• Gangplank The Dreadway: If Gangplank’s ship hasn’t yet reached Gangplank, it’ll pass through enemies dealing damage. After reaching Gangplank, or if Gangplank is dead, it’ll crash on the next enemy hit
• Gangplank The Dreadway: The boat will now always crash if it hasn’t hit an enemy after 2.25 seconds.
• Heimerdinger Refractor Beam Number of Beams 3/3/5 ⇒ 3
• Heimerdinger Refractor Beam Damage Amplification 10/30/30% ⇒ 10/40/80%

AUGMENTS

As trait linked Augments we’re shipping some significant buffs to Adrenaline Rush (Juggernaut), Defensive Dash (Challenger), and Total Domination (Noxus) which have failed to succeed even when running their verticals.

The Multicaster rework means Multicasters cast fewer times. Increasing the AP per cast on their trait linked Augment, Perfect Repetition, will allow them to reach the same power ceiling as before.

Shurima’s Legacy had an issue where the turret would not stop shooting random people after the player died. Now that’s what I call leaving your legacy on the Convergence, but while staying true to its name, we can’t have Turrets going rogue from beyond the grave.

• Adrenaline Rush (Juggernaut): Grants a Warwick and a Sett ⇒ Grants a Darius and a Sett
• Adrenaline Rush (Juggernaut) health Threshold for bonus damage: 50% ⇒ 60%
• Binary Airdropno longer grants an item component.
• Built Different II Health: 200 - 425 ⇒ 225 - 475
• Built Different III Attack speed: 45 - 65 ⇒ 50-70
• Caretaker’s Ally now grants one copy of the 2-cost immediately.
• Defensive Dash (Challenger) Shield: 75 - 225 ⇒ 100 - 250

ITEMS

We’re giving Adaptive Helm a small amount of power, mostly to add to its flavor and further differentiate it from other frontliner items.

Guardbreaker is currently our best item due to the sheer amount of stats it grants and the frequency of shields in Runeterra Reforged, which continually trigger the powerful bonus damage of the item. Instead of taking power from its core counter-shield identity, we’re reducing the Attack Speed it offers, which has been letting users cast far sooner than even Tear-based items like Hand of Justice.

• Adaptive Helm Frontline Bonus: 35 Armor and MR ⇒ 35 Armor and MR. Gain 1 Mana when struck by an attack.
• Guardbreaker Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 20%

Small, like my Cho’Gath when I’m contested.

REGION PORTALS

Over in Ixaocan, the capital city of Ixtal, Radiant Items come relatively late in the game, often after you’ve committed to a direction. By pairing them with a Reforger, you’ll get one more chance to re-roll them into something more fitting, OR you can use the reforger to pop the items off of your current carry if they have high synergy with the Radiant Item you just got.

• Ixaocan Radiant Item drops now always come with a reforger.

---

TRAITS

Losing Lissandra in the mid-set really hurt Invoker as a vertical, so we’re adding a bit more late game power to keep Invokers and their friends blasting and casting.

• Invoker 6: 15 Mana to all ⇒ 20 Mana to all
• Strategist Shield: 250/400/575/850 ⇒ 250/400/600/900

• Void, Rift Herald charge speed has been increased.
• Void, Rift Herald will now try to find a new target if her original target dies during her windup.

---

UNITS: TIER 1

It's pretty common for fights to wind down and enemies to walk forward, causing Malzahar to miss his cast. This change makes sure that when he casts, he'll basically always hit those targets. This will also make him a bit better at slaying Scuttle Crabs, but don’t worry members of TETSC (Tacticians for the Ethical Treatment of Scuttle Crabs), he’ll still miss occasionally because Scuttle Crabs can dash across the map really quickly.

• Cassiopeia Twin Fang Damage: 170/255/385 ⇒ 160/240/360
• BUGFIX Jhin’s Curtain Call damage dropoff is no longer higher than intended. Damage Dropoff: 40% ⇒ 56%
• Malzahar’s Malefic Visions is now less likely to miss against moving targets
• Milio max Mana buff: 20/80 ⇒ 20/70

---

UNITS: TIER 2

Twisted Fate has recently risen within the meta as a reroll carry. We’re shipping a number of smaller changes here that should make him feel better to play, better accommodate our Multicaster rework, and keep him from stacking the deck too much in his favor.

• Twisted Fate starting Mana buff: 20/70 ⇒ 25/75

• Twisted Fate Stacked Deck Ability AoE Delay: 1.5 seconds ⇒ 1.25 seconds

---

UNITS: TIER 3

Alongside a smaller AP ratio buff, we’ve fixed a fizzle with Karma’s spell that previously had her seeking the occasionally karmic retribution from those who’ve already kicked the bucket.

• Karma Inner Flame damage: 170/255/420% AP ⇒ 180/270/440% AP
• BUGFIX Karma: If Karma’s target dies immediately as she begins her cast, she will pick a new target to cast on
• Neeko Pop Blossom Shield: 250/350/475 ⇒ 250/325/425

---

UNITS: TIER 4

Xayah was the undoubted winner of patch 13.19, but this statement is especially true for her 3-star version, which was the most powerful 3-star four cost by a long-shot.

• Xayah Featherstrike damage ratio: 80/80/125% AD ⇒ 80/80/100% AD

---

SUPPORT ITEMS

Our Support Items as a whole could use… well, a whole lot of support. We’re taking a pass on the bulk of them to keep their power level equal or similar to that of the Gold Augment they can be found in.

Banshee’s Veil is going to be very strong in melee heavy Challenger comps that greatly benefit from the CC immunity and the new Attack Speed.

We found a bug with Radiant Virtue that, in fixing it, will greatly strengthen the item, so we’re shipping a small compensation nerf. With the bug fix and compensation nerf, Radiant Virtue should be slightly better than it was in the last patch.

HORIZONBOUND PASS

We’ve made some adjustments to Horizonbound’s Pass structure since our original Runeterra Reforged Pass release! The most notable differences for the Horizonbound Pass are additional Little Legends and an instant Treasure Token reward, but there will still be quite a few other stops along the pass to check out! To show this, we’ve got a handy graphic available ***rummaging sounds*** here!

And now that you’ve seen the bigger picture, let’s chat about the specifics. The Pass+ can be unlocked for 1295 RP, but as always, you don’t have to decide to buy it right away. You can upgrade to the Pass+ later, and retroactively receive everything you would have unlocked with the Pass+ active. Check out the below images for a peek at some of the content.

To get to Bilgewater Bay, you’re going to need a ship. Good thing the Pass+ has three of those along the way!

Now that we’ve seen where you can play, let’s see who you can play as with the Pass+. Our Pass+ has two Little Legends. Stellacorn Lightcharger can be found frequently grazing the crags of Mount Targon, but also within the Pass+ at one star! Don’t worry, there are plenty of Star Shards in the Pass to take Stellacorn Lightcharger to the top of Mount Targon! The other Little Legend, Scuba Sprite, can be found at the bottom of the deepest chasm, or the start of the Pass (whether you have the Pass or the Pass+).

Finally, when exploring a place like Runeterra, you're bound to come across the odd life-draining power or serpent slaying harpoon. The Pass+ will come with four unique Booms: Shadow’s Grasp from the Shadow Isles, Serpent Slayer from Bilgewater, Bandle Blast! from Bandle City, and Toxic Cloud from Zaun.

CHIBI IRELIA AND CHIBI DIVINE SWORD IRELIA

Dance like nobody’s watching. Fight like your homeland depends on it! You can repel the Noxian invasion (or bottom four) with Chibi Irelia directly from the shop for 1900 RP. She’ll come with her signature Boom, Vanguard’s Edge, that’s sure to swing the tide of battle.

With the power of a dragon and the cuteness of a Chibi, this goddess is here to blade-dance her way into your heart. Chibi Divine Sword Irelia is a Star Content drop from Treasure Realms, whose finisher alludes to her fabled dealings with Dragon Kings and fools.

KNIFE PUP AND KNIFE HOUND LITTLE LEGENDS

Knife Pup and Knife Hound are TFT’s take on Naafiri’s packmates in Little Legend form, one the pinnacle of Darkin physique, and the other, well… Knife Pup.

Knife Pup and their variants are available for direct purchase for 750 RP (rare) and 925 RP for their epic variants. Check out their variants below: Knife Pup (base), Thunderstorm Knife Pup (rare), Kernel Knife Pup (rare), Soul Fighter Knife Pup (epic), Lone Loaf Knife Pup (epic), Kanmei Knife Pup (legendary).

You can pick up Knife Hound and their variants for 750 RP (rare) and 925 RP (epic). Check out Knife Hound’s variants below: Knife Hound (base), Akana Knife Hound (rare), Thunderstorm Knife Hound (rare), Shurima Knife Hound (epic), Soul Fighter Knife Hound (epic), Shiba Knife Hound (legendary).

You’ve bravely wandered Runeterra amidst a Convergence storm, and if you made it to Gold or higher along the way, there’ll be a special Chibi Aatrox emote emote for you to flex with!

If you played Hyper Roll and finished Green, Blue, Purple, or Hyper tier, then you’ll get an emote to signal that too!

And if you’ve been exploring Runeterra with a friend, good on you, ‘cause it’s dangerous to wander alone. Plus you could get any of these Double Up emotes if you hit Gold or higher!

---

HORIZONBOUND RANKED RESETS

• Your rank has been "soft" reset down one tier below your current standings. For example, if you are currently in Gold II you will now be in Silver II.
• If you are very good at this game and currently placed in Master or above, you will be reset to Diamond IV.
• You will get five provisional matches after the reset, meaning you will not lose any LP for sub-top-four placements in your first five ranked games of the new stage. You’ll also gain some extra LP for finishing top four, so best of luck!
• Ranked rewards for the first half of the set will be distributed with this patch, but it may take a couple days to complete the rollout.

The biggest change coming in Horizonbound aside from the new units and traits of course, is our overhaul of the item system, but I’ll save that for another section! We’ve got a few other small ones to go over below.

---

TRAIT TIERS

We’re changing the requirements for a trait to be Prismatic, so that if it is Prismatic, you can expect it to be unusually powerful and hard to hit. Otherwise, it may simply be another level of Gold trait power.

• The following traits are Prismatic: 6 Piltover, 9 Bilgewater, 9 Demacia, 9 Ionia, 9 Noxus, 9 Shurima
• The following traits have been changed from Prismatic to Gold: 8 Bastion, 8 Challenger, 8 Invoker, 8 Sorcerer, 8 Void, 6 Gunner, 6 Vanquisher, 6 Zaun, 5 Strategist, 4 Ixtal, 4 Targon
• 3 Freljord

---

SHRED AND SUNDER

Shred (MR reduction) and Sunder (Armor reduction) have been reduced across the board. Items and Champs have been adjusted, so keep an eye out in those sections.

• 40/50/70% ⇒ 20/30/50%

---

CRITICAL STRIKE CONVERSION

Getting over 100% crit now grants even more critical strike damage! For example if you had 110% critical strike chance in the past, you’d get 5% bonus critical strike damage. Now that 5% is 8%, hooray for crit stacking!

• Critical strike conversion from excess crit over 100% has been increased from 50% to 80% conversion

---

LOOT

Sometimes you could get more than four item components with Krug or Wolves, which created an odd spike in tempo/decision making that we want to smooth out just a tad.

• Reduced the chances of seeing an overwhelming amount of loot in one round.

So big it gets its own section. Items are now divided into five main categories:

Components: Combine these to build core items

Core items: These are the standard, craftable items made from the base components. Each of these will focus on powering up the holder in exciting ways.

Radiant Items: Upgraded versions of core items

Artifact Items: Previously known as “Ornn Artifact” items; these are uncraftable items that present exciting, powerful item combinations and synergies.

Support Items: Uncraftable items focused on providing teamwide support and non-selfish outputs. All Support items will have a uniform 250 Health, and will be much more powerful than their core item versions.

---

NEW CORE ITEMS

We’ve swapped six items into our new Support Item category, where we can grant them more power to fulfill their fantasy. To read more about the design philosophy and use cases for these items, be sure to check out our Horizonbound Gameplay Overview, or keep reading for an overview on their use cases!

Crownguard is great on AP frontliners that want to survive burst. Try it out on Shen or Sejuani!

Night Harvester allows you to drop low on Health and then heal up. It’s exceptionally versatile, but it will be a particularly great slam on melee AP carries like Mordekaiser.

Evenshroud is the counterpart to Ionic Spark, but for AD comps. Its tanky stats may leave something to be desired, but the Sunder can go a long way.

Nashor’s Tooth provides unique windows of empowered Attack Speed after casting. Mix and match with items like Spear of Shojin to uncover powerful cast and attack faster combinations. Azir, are you listening? Write this down!

Sterak’s Gage is a melee AD beefcake’s best friend. If you can’t hit Bloodthirster, but you did manage to get a Belt, this item will help in a pinch.

Adaptive Helm makes tanks tankier, and carries… carrier? It’s preferred on champions who scale well with AP and want to cast more, but is incredibly flexible on just about any frontliner as well.

• Evenshroud (Negatron Cloak + Giant’s Belt) Health: 150, Magic Resist: 20
• Evenshroud: 30% Sunder enemies within 2 hexes. For the first 10s of combat, gain 20 Armor and Magic Resist.
• Crownguard (Needlessly Large Rod + Chain Vest) Ability Power: 20, Armor: 20
• Crownguard: Combat Start: Gain a shield equal to 30% of your maximum health for 8 seconds. When this shield breaks or expires, gain 40 additional Ability Power.

CORE ITEM CHANGES

We’ve taken a pass on our existing core items to ensure they are of the appropriate power level. What this means is we’re lowering the power ceiling on many of our strong items, while also broadening use cases.

Our nerf to Bramble Vest is to keep the item from countering Critical Strikes too completely.

We’re shifting the power of Guardbreaker from Attack Damage to Attack Speed, making it a better fit for AP users as well as champions who need more sources of Attack Speed.
Rapid Firecannon is getting flat bonus damage at the cost of Attack Speed. This should make it much easier to use, especially if you get stuck with a bunch of bows on an AP heavy comp.

• Archangel’s Staff Mana: 30 ⇒ 15
• Archangel’s Staff AP Per 5s: 20 ⇒ 25
• Bramble Vest Critical Strike Reduction: 75% ⇒ 50%
• Chalice of Power is no longer craftable. Chalice of Power has been moved to the Support Item Pool.

SUPPORT ITEMS

Support items are all about empowering your team in different ways. They all have a flat 250 Health, but you shouldn’t be banking on that as the source of their power.

Locket of the Iron Solari, Zeke’s Herald, and Chalice of Power all have a 2 Hex support range. They’ve also been granted quite a bit more power be it defensive stats, or in the case of Chalice of Power, bonus starting Mana to get that first cast off even faster!

Virtue of the Martyr is a new Support Item that will be especially useful on comps like with high max Health…hello vertical Bruiser?

• All Support Items grant +250 Health and no other combat stats. Focus on choosing the right effect for your team!

• Zz’Rot Portal Voidspawn AD Per Stage (3/4/5): 90/110/130 ⇒ 80/105/130

ARTIFACT ITEMS

Aside from some item moves, we’re making a few lighter changes for the existing Artifact items to keep them all around the same power level.

Artifact items that generate gold vary in power based upon WHEN you are offered them. By allowing our econ Artifacts to only appear before Stage 4, we’re able to keep them at an appropriate power level for their accessibility without them feeling like dead options later in the game.

• System Changes: Gold generating items will not be offered on Stage 4 and beyond
• Eternal Winter Armor: 25 ⇒ 20
• Goldmancer’s Staff Ability Power: 20 ⇒ 25
• Goldmancer’s Staff Max Ability Power from Gold: 60 ⇒ 30

3RD PARTY PARTNERS

As mentioned in our intro, I’ll only be talking about the changes to existing systems within these patch notes. For information about completely new content coming with Horizonbound, please take a look at one of the 3rd party partners recommended below.

A quick word on our 3rd party data policy. During the first half of Runeterra Reforged, we updated our policy to disallow exposure of Augment win rates. We learned a lot during this period, and we were happy with some of the results, but due to the complexities involved in ensuring that everyone had the same access to the same type of data, we’ve ultimately decided to revert that policy change with the release of Horizonbound.

• The following 4-costs are fourging a new path: Gwen, Lux, Urgot, Yasuo, Zeri
• The following 5-cost has left to find Lucian: Senna

TRAITS

We’re buffing our Prismatic chase traits to make them worthy of chasing, as are all things containing ‘Prism’ in their name. You can’t see the finger guns I pointed at you there, but use your imagination.

Bastion is getting a large nerf, primarily to compensate for the Shred/Sunder changes, but also because of their current power.

Darkin is now a 2 piece trait, where fielding both Darkin champions (Naafiri and Aatrox) will increase both of their passive weapons’ power. This will allow reroll Naafiri to scale into the late game as soon as you add Aatrox to your army! Reroll players rerolljoice!

There’s no more randomness with Demacia. Each Elite will get a Radiant item exclusively for them, allowing you to better optimize their build knowing what Radiant item they will get. This should also standardize the power of the trait. We’ve also greatly buffed Demacia 9 as a Prismatic tier trait that should be worth the difficulty of hitting it.

Rogue bleeds now apply from Abilities and auto-attacks. They won’t stack, but they will be refreshed by additional damage instances.

Changing Shurima to a 2/4/6/9 makes the trait more splashable (for reroll Naafiri comps) and allows us to make that Prismatic 9 Shurima breakpoint even more powerful!

With two Zaunites leaving and only one taking their place, we’ve made some significant adjustments to Zaun that allow you to Overcharge your chem-mods at Zaun (4) and receive 5 different chem-mods at Zaun (6)! With chem-mods being more readily available to overcharge thanks to the new tech Silco has brought to the trait, we’ve had to do a bit of rebalancing.

• Bastion Base Armor & MR: 25/50/95/240 ⇒ 20/40/65/125
• Bruiser Bonus max Health: 10/40/70% ⇒ 10/45/80%

• Shurima is now a 2 / 4 / 6 / 9

If you’ve woken up randomly one night asking yourself why reroll Void isn’t a thing, go back to sleep. Get those 8 hours. Enjoy sweet circadian consistency, because Cho’Gath and Malzahar buffs are here.

With Yordle gone, we’re able to give Poppy more power that should make vertical Demacia even better.

With Noxus stats going up, we’re unintentionally buffing Samira, who benefits from both AD and AP, quite a lot. We’re preemptively nerfing her here to keep her Flair in check.

• Cho’Gath Mana: 30/90 ⇒ 20/80
• Cho’Gath Feast Base Damage: 250/335/450 ⇒ 270/370/500

UNITS: TIER 2

“I really think reroll Ashe carry is going to work now,” — us buffing Ashe’s ratios for the third time. This may be enough, but I’m willing to bet Morellonomicon is still the best use case for her. What can I say, she just loves a good book?

Losing Zeri takes away a significant amount of power for Jinx, who no longer has a late game partner-in-Zaun to take her go-to comp across the fourth place line. We’re giving her more access to her ability in compensation.

Swain has been dominant as an early game tank, but his mana-lock prevented him from finding success in late game boards, even though he was the early bird who got the tank items. We’re reworking his spell to allow him to recast it, repeatedly stacking Health and maybe becoming the night owl of your late game boards.

Vi has paid the Piltover tax (being weak due to being a core unit in an econ trait) for too long. It’s time to remind the world that Vi stands for VIABLE!

• Ashe is now a Freljord Vanquisher
• Ashe AD: 50 ⇒ 55
• Ashe Volley AD ratio: 160/160/170% ⇒ 160/165/175%
• Galio Shield of Durand Channel Duration 4 ⇒ 2.5
• Galio Shield of Durand Heal 350/400/450 ⇒ 300/350/400
• Jinx Mana buff: 0/75 ⇒ 10/70
• Swain REWORKED: Swain is no longer mana locked while his Demonflare ability is active. Instead, if he casts again while transformed, he’ll perform a burst, gaining 225/260/385 additional max Health and deal 100/160/240 magic damage to nearby enemies.
• Swain initial transformation bonus Health: 375/450/650 ⇒ 325/375/550
• Swain Demonflare Sustained Tick Damage: 35/50/75 ⇒ 25/40/60
• Swain Mana nerf: 50/120 ⇒ 60/135
• Swain Armor & MR: 50 ⇒ 45

• Warwick REWORKED: When Warwick casts, instead of gaining an increased heal, he’ll instead gain +100% bonus Attack Speed.

UNITS: TIER 3

Since Darius’s new Vanquisher trait will provide extra power in bringing down tanks, we’re taking away some of his base stats to compensate.

We’re pulling some power out of Jayce’s ally AS boost so that he can be a better carry. Yes, rerolling the golden boy is a viable option now.

Rek’Sai is another melee reroll carry who has inherent weaknesses. We’re giving her Slayer to add a bit more sustain and bonus damage into her kit, which should allow for more diverse and offensive itemization (Titan’s Resolve will still be very important). To prevent Rek’Sai from becoming Rek’Sigh-there-goes-my-team, we’re taking away some of her base stats, and scaling.

Taric is now more selfishly tanky and spends less of his shield protecting allies. This will make him better as a primary tank who absorbs some ally damage without causing really frustrating scenarios where a bunch of low HP allies survive to deal extra player damage.

• Darius is now a Noxus Juggernaut Vanquisher
• Darius AD: 70 ⇒ 60
• Darius AS: 0.75 ⇒ 0.7

• Taric Radiance shield now only redirects 50% of the damage received by adjacent allies
• Taric Radiance Shield: 550/650/750 ⇒ 500/580/680

Now that Aphelios is a Gunner, we’re bringing down his AD scaling as the Gunner trait synergizes far better with his kit than Deadeye did. Despite the nerfs targeted at neutralizing the impact of Gunner, we’re also buffing the damage of Moonblast so that Aphelios is less dependent on Rageblade.

Nasus bonk build is online! This is a Thief's Gloves Nasus buff as there are plenty of viable items on this dog. We’re also reducing his tankiness now that shred/sunder have been nerfed.

We’re rebalancing Aatrox’s health since he now gains his own Darkin buff (which grants Health and Omnivamp). All in all, his total Health will go up from 1100 to 1250.

• Aatrox Armor & MR: 70 ⇒ 60
• Aatrox Darkin Omnivamp: 15% ⇒ 20%

AUGMENT CHANGES: SILVER

Over half a set of balancing, the power level of our Augments naturally tends to inflate a bit. The bulk of our changes below are small nerfs that bring down the power ceiling of Augments, with a few exceptions.

• Cybernetic Bulk: 250 HP ⇒ 225 HP
• Cybernetic Leech: 13% ⇒ 10% Omnivamp

AUGMENT CHANGES: GOLD & GENERAL

A Cut Above is most exciting and powerful when you can start ramping gold early. We want the Augment to continue being exciting, while staying balanced, so now you can only find it in the early game. This allows us to nerf the gold chance, keeping the early econ ramp in check. Escort Quest is getting a similar treatment.

• A Cut Above is no longer offered on 3-2
• A Cut Above chance to drop gold: 33% ⇒ 25%
• All That Shimmers has been removed.

• You Have My Bow: 15% ⇒ 12% AS

---

AUGMENT CHANGES: PRISMATIC

We’re continuing to bring the general power level down for our Prismatic Augments, with a few exceptions. Our two-item-package-deal Augments are getting an extra component, which should bring their power level up significantly if you have the odd component lying around. Final Reserves has typically been used to massively open fort (intentionally lose to make more gold), saving as much gold as possible while sometimes selling your whole board, only to proc the Augment and power level to 9. We prefer players playing boards, so we’re nerfing this strategy specifically to cap how much gold you can effectively save.

What did they do to my baby boy? When we originally pitched Infernal Contact it offered 100 Gold, but the strategy and viability of reroll comps has made it a bit too powerful (and now my go-to Augment has to go to the nerf store).

• Blinding Speed, Unleashed Arcana, Impenetrable Bulwark, Overwhelming Force: All gain an extra corresponding component.
• Built Different III Health 270 - 600 ⇒ 300 - 550
• Built Different III Attack Speed 50 -70 ⇒ 45 - 65
• Buried Treasures III: 5 ⇒ 6 components
• Cybernetic Leech III: 25% ⇒ 20% Omnivamp
• Final Reservers Trigger Reward XP: 80 ⇒ 70
• Final Reservers Trigger Reward Gold: Gain 40 gold ⇒ Set your gold to 66. When this triggers, excess gold above 66 is converted to experience.
• Hedge Fund: Gold 22 >> 23
• Infernal Contract: 85 ⇒ 75 gold
• Seeing Double Changed back to “Teaming Up”
• Teaming Up III: Gain 1 random Support Item, 12 Gold, and 2 Reforgers.
• Social Distancing III: 30 ⇒ 25 AD & AP
• Tiny Power III: 16 ⇒ 15% Stats
• Gotta Go Fast BUGFIX: Gotta Go Fast tiers now have different movement speed bonuses as intended rather than the same movement speed bonus across all tiers.
• Gotta Go Fast BUGFIX: Movespend Speed %s updated to reflect how much movement speed the units were actually getting, making the tooltip now read Move Speed: 40/70/110%

AUGMENT CHANGES: TRAITS

A fresh roster means we’re reshuffling the units you receive when you pick a Trait-linked Augment.

• Shadow Isles, Deadeye, and Yordle trait-linked Augments have been removed.
• Glacial Breeze (Freljord) has been removed.
• Challenger Crown Unit Granted : Kalista ⇒ Naafiri
• Demacia Crown Unit Granted : Garen ⇒ Quinn
• Freljord Soul Unit Granted : Lissandra ⇒ Ashe
• Freljord Soul Item Granted: Archangel’s Staff ⇒ Redemption
• Rogue Crown Unit Granted : Zed ⇒ Qiyana
• Rogue Heart Unit Granted : Zed ⇒ Qiyana
• Shurima Crown Unit Granted : Akshan ⇒ Naafiri
• Slayer Crest Unit Granted : Kled ⇒ Qiyana
• Slayer Crown Item Granted: Titan’s Resolve ⇒ Night Harvester
• Slayer Crown Unit Granted : Kled ⇒ Quinn
• Slayer Heart Unit Granted : Kled ⇒ Qiyana
• Strategist Soul Item Granted: Chalice of Power ⇒ Night Harvester
• Void Crown Item Granted: Zz’Rot Portal ⇒ Adaptive Helm

• Riftwalker Kassadin can no longer attempt to blink to untargetable enemies.
• Fixed a bug where Early Education and Endurance Training could temporarily behave incorrectly after starring up a unit.
• Crown of Demacia can no longer be equipped to benched units in Double Up.
• Fixed a bug that could cause Trickster’s Glass clone to become permanent under very specific circumstances.
• Like a boss: Fixed a bug where The Boss could be offered at 3-2 even if you were fielding no Ionia or Juggernauts.
• What The Forge no longer prevents effects from equipping temporary items (such as Noxus Ryze, Noxkraya, Binary Airdrop)
• Fixed a bug where What The Forge could fail to provide its bonus health.
• Shurima’s Legacy now functions properly when fighting a ghost army.
• Icathian Rain (Chibi Kai’Sa’s boom) is no longer invisible.

LOOT ORBS

Hitting a Duplicator or Spatula early should be a high-roll, but due to the compound nature of econ in TFT, you can fall behind the lobby’s curve if you don’t immediately utilize the Duplicator, or adjust your board power to favor econ in some way. We’re fixing all this by adding a small amount of gold to orbs, which should keep you closer to the lobby’s econ.

• Grey Orb: Lesser Duplicator ⇒ Lesser Duplicator + 1g
• Blue Orb: Lesser Duplicator & 3g ⇒ Lesser Duplicator + 2x Two Costs
• Gold Orb Spatula ⇒ Spatula + 2g

---

REGION PORTALS

Immortal Bastion and Stillwater Hold are some of our least picked portals. We’re giving them a bit of love by making Immortal Bastion make you more Immortal, and adding some compensation power to our Augment-less Stillwater Hold. Of note, selecting Stillwater Hold in a lobby with me is still a spam-pingable offense.

We’re also bringing extra visibility to (and fixing) a number of Yorick’s Graveyard bugs, because they’ve been annoying.

• REWORKED Immortal Bastion: Players start with 115 health.
• REWORKED Stillwater Hold: Whenever you would be offered an augment, gain a completed item anvil instead.
• BUGFIX Yorick’s Graveyard: Now correctly grants items on all players’ deaths.
• BUGFIX Yorick’s Graveyard: Now can correctly grant uncraftable emblems, and can no longer grant items rolled by Thiefs Gloves.
• BUGFIX Yorick’s Graveyard: Can now correctly grant items that were on the player’s item bench.

Large, like the new TFT TikTok channel. Did I mention we have a TikTok channel now? Check out our debut video starring Mort and Pengu here! I’m not sure who I love more right now.

TRAITS

You may notice components of the popular Aphelios Bastion comp that we directly nerfed in our 13.16 mid-patch update. We chose to go light with our nerfs there in order to avoid killing the comp completely, even if the comp would remain slightly overtuned. In this case, it did remain overtuned, so we’re back again with more nerfs. Hopefully these keep it in check without making Targon become Tar-gone.

Rogue has suffered all set. We’ve shipped a series of quality of life buffs and power buffs to the trait through Runeterra Reforged, and we’re back again to make it even more consistent, while also focusing on one of the clumsier users of the trait: Katarina.

• Bastion Armor & MR: 25/55/100/240 ⇒ 25/50/95/240
• Rogue: Improved the consistency of Rogue dashes
• Rogue: If Katarina takes damage that brings her to full Mana and below the Rogue Health threshold, she will dash to the backline before casting
• Rogue: If Katarina already began throwing her daggers before dropping below the Rogue Health threshold, she will resolve her entire spell first before dashing to the backline instead of dashing to the backline and then blinking back to her dagger’s position
• Strategist HP Shield: 200/350/500/800 ⇒ 250/400/600/900
• Targon Heal & Shield Increase: 20/40/70% ⇒ 18/35/60%
• Void: Baron Nashor power decreased in Stage 4 by 5%
• Void: Baron Nashor power increased in Stage 5 and 6 by 10%

---

UNITS: TIER 1

A buff that will take Malzahar, Malza-far.

Renekton has yet to find a place in successful comps. A substantial base Health buff should do wonders for him in vertical Bruiser comps, as well as allow him to survive later in Shurima comps to benefit from the Ascension procs.

• Malzahar Malefic Visions Damage: 185/280/420 ⇒ 205/310/460
• Renekton HP: 600 ⇒ 650
• Renekton max Mana buff: 50/120 ⇒ 50/110

---

UNITS: TIER 5

Senna's a great flexible support unit but she struggles as a carry. We’re trading some of her supportive power here for more carry power so she can go out with a bang when we replace her in the mid-set (Rest in Lanterns Senna).

K’Sante has been struggling even throughout the peak Bastion meta. We’re giving his ability a new durability component so he’ll be more useful as a tank, even when he can’t knock a unit off the board.

• Bel’Veth Royal Maelstrom AD ratio: 60% ⇒ 65%
• Bel’Veth Royal Maelstrom base Damage: 15/25/50 ⇒ 18/30/50
• K’Sante NEW: Now heals himself for 10% of his maximum Health on cast
• Ryze (Bandle City) no longer stars up units to his star level, except at 3-star
• Senna Dawning Shadow AD ratio: 190/200/2000% ⇒ 235/250/2000%
• Senna Dawning Shadow shield amount: 250/325/4000 ⇒ 200/275/4000
• Senna at 3-stars, now grants significantly more Attack Speed per shield with her Redeemer trait

---

AUGMENTS

The machines are learning. Binary Airdop is getting smarter, fitter, and more productive. Expect better itemization, but don’t expect it to autopilot your comp for you!

Garen and Kayle are both fantastic Rageblade users, making Demacia Crown give far too much power on 2-1. The Augment also doesn’t need such a powerful item anymore after we buffed the vertical trait last patch.You’re still Garen-teed a Garen so it'll still be a solid pick, but now you won't automatically get the best item in the comp.

• Binary Airdrop items will fit the champion’s role slightly better
• Birthday Present Gold: 1 ⇒ 2
• Demacia Crown Item Granted: Guinsoo’s Rageblade ⇒ Recurve Bow
• Final Grab Bag Gold: 12/15/0 ⇒ 10/12/0
• Lucky Gloves number of Brawler’s Gloves: 2 ⇒ 3
• Scrappy Inventions gain a component at the start of the next 1 stage ⇒ 2 stages
• Scrappy Inventions Max Upgraded Components: 4 ⇒ 5

---

ITEMS

Infinity Edge has been consistently overshadowed by Deathblade for overall DPS, especially at our highest level of play. We’re giving the item 5 % more AD, which is pretty meaningful, especially when considering this amplifies the damage of your crits by more than just 5%.

• Infinity Edge AD%: 30% ⇒ 35%

Small, like a spin-off TikTok channel about how much I love Mort and Pengu that I have not made (yet).

---

TRAITS

Noxus is getting a large lift that will have small impact at their highest echelon of chaseability. Chase away conquerors!

• Noxus Health: 170/340/600 ⇒ 170/340/700
• Noxus AD & AP: 17/34/60 ⇒ 17/34/70
• Sorcerer max HP% explosion: 10/10/12/20% ⇒ 7/10/12/20%

---

UNITS: TIER 1

Nom nom nom nom.

• Cho’Gath Feast max HP damage ratio: 12% ⇒ 14%
• Jhin Ionia AD Bonus: 20% ⇒ 25%
• When Jhin’s cast target dies, he’ll now retarget to the nearest enemy instead of the furthest

---

UNITS: TIER 2

A quality of life buff to be starstruck by!

• Soraka: When her Astral Infusion heal target dies with remaining stars, the stars will transfer to striking the closest enemy of a nearby ally.

---

UNITS: TIER 3

Let reroll Rogue pop off!

• Ekko Phase Dive Damage: 290/435/710 ⇒ 300/450/725

---

UNITS: TIER 4

Increasing Nasus’s base Attack Speed makes it easier to get more empowered bonks in when he casts Soul Eater. Try out an AD item like Giant Slayer for giggles, or more realistically this will just make Titan’s Resolve slightly better on him. Developer note: Nasus attacks should always be referred to as bonks.

• Nasus Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.65
• Shen Mana nerf: 70/140 ⇒ 70/150

---

UNITS: TIER 5

Heimerdinger has a very big grenade at 3-stars, but right now he can end up missing a lot of the board when he throws it, resulting in him losing to boards that a 3-star 5-cost shouldn’t lose to.

• Heimerdinger at 3-stars will now always throw his enlarged grenade at the center of the board. This allows him to hit many more units.

---

AUGMENTS

• AFK Gold: 18 ⇒ 20
• Balanced Budget III Gold: 10 ⇒ 11 (Total: 40 ⇒ 44 gold)
• Final Reserves gold is now vacuumed slightly faster
• Inconsistency gold granted by the Augment is now spawned visibly on your Tactician
• Radiant Relics now additionally grants a Magnetic Remover
• Shimmering Inventors Damage Amplification per 10g: 8% ⇒ 7% (Damage Cap: 40% ⇒ 35%)

• Sunlight Cape Health: 350 ⇒ 300
• Titan’s Vow Armor & MR at Max Stacks: 50 ⇒ 60
• Zenith Edge AD: 55% ⇒ 65%

DOUBLE UP

We’re making a small adjustment to reinforcements to combat completely open (playing no units to intentionally build loss streaks) open fort strategies that would allow for an instant reinforcement from the player facing the open forter’s board.

• Minimum time to reinforce increased by 3 seconds. This should not be very noticeable outside of cases where a player plays 0 units, triggering an instant reinforcement.

• Fixed an issue that caused both the Kaiju model in "Monsters Attack!" Arena and the hair for BP Nemesis Nimbefoot T3 to exclusively show the Corrupted elements. This fix actually went live in 13.16 but was not recorded.
• Units on the Tournament of Souls' board are no longer missing shadows on some graphics settings. This fix actually went live in 13.16 but was not recorded.
• Yorick’s Graveyard now correctly grants items on all players’ deaths.
• Yorick’s Graveyard now can correctly grant uncraftable emblems, and can no longer grant items rolled by Thiefs Gloves.
• Yorick’s Graveyard can now correctly grant items that were on the player’s item bench.
• Fixed an issue where Bruisers were not immediately getting the correct amount of bonus Health after being starred up
• K’Sante no longer remains Mana locked for an additional 0.5 seconds after knocking an enemy off the battlefield
• Spooky shops: Fixed a bug where shop highlights would consider enemy units when you fought a ghost army.
• Fixed another bug that prevented Pandora’s Bench and Recombobulator from rolling Ryze.
• Using a Reforger on a unit holding only the Crown of Demacia in Double Up will now bounce the Reforger rather than consuming it.
• Too pumped up to read: Pumping Up III now displays the correct value for current attack speed on the Augment card.

RAPTORS

• Your final item component from Raptors will be replaced by a component anvil.

---

REGION PORTALS

• Yordle Pordles has been moved to Noxus and renamed Fleshing Arena.
• Hall of the Nine significantly reduced the gold given.
• Hall of the Nine two star unit loot option now gives units whose tier is equal to the stage minus 1, rather than equal to the stage.
• Unstable Rift has had Blue Buff temporarily disabled from appearing as the unstable item while we investigate a bug.

PVE LOOT ORBS

We’re shifting item distribution to prevent situations where you have a major item disparity (despite being up in gold) prior to Raptors. The change here ensures everyone in the lobby has more of their components earlier so it's easier to commit to a direction, and also makes Raptors less hectic (5 components is too much to think about in one turn).

• Lowered the average number of items given at Raptors and distributed the items to Krugs and Wolves. On average, expect to see 1 more of your components at Krugs or Wolves instead of at Raptors.

REGION PORTALS

With some of our lowest pick rates, Lavender Sea and Shifting Sands are being replaced completely and reworked respectively.

The Hall Of The Nine may lie in the eastern Freljord, below the Frostguard Citadel, but its location is that of a material gateway to unknown horrors… well, for us they are known, ‘cause they’re the Void. This new Region Portal grants players the same loot selected from a highly varied pool at the start of each stage.

Shifting Sands is shifting to grant all players Pandora’s Bench—which means the actual Pandora’s Bench Augment won’t be available on this Portal.

• REMOVED: Lavender Sea has been removed
• NEW: The Hall Of The Nine has been added
• The Hall Of The Nine: At the start of each stage, everyone gets the same loot from a highly varied pool. In Hyper Roll, loot comes every other stage.
• Petricite Forest has been renamed Ehrenmount.

Large, like my love for T-Hex.

TRAITS

Bastion had its moment earlier in the set as a stall tactic for Rageblade stacking Kayle, but now neither of those are what they used to be. We’re giving a small amount of early resists to the lower levels of Bastion to nudge the trait into a playable state.

Noxus is extremely reliant on players activating it early to gain stacks, which eventually turns into snowballing the game. Starting Noxus late makes it difficult to play the comp. We're shifting some power away from the stacks and into the base so that it's easier to get started with Noxus. Stacking is still vital for the trait, but the ceiling is reduced so that the comp snowballs a little less obNoxusly.

Even with our substantial Rogue buffs in 13.14, Rogue struggles to seal the deal after diving into the backline like a seal into the lap of a polar bear. We’re both increasing their bleed damage AND targeting after diving to prevent further arctic simile use.

Making a choice between T-Hex and loot is a difficult one that often leads to regret when you feel you made the wrong choice, and shame for selling your beloved robo-dinosaur friend.

No one wants to recreate the Chicxulub disaster (the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs), even when selling T-Hex for parts is the right call, and when T-Hex is too powerful, the trait suffers from being too low risk. We’re adjusting the trait so you will keep your T-Hex power AND get a large set of loot upon cashing out (winning), and in doing so we’re preventing TFT’s Chicxulub disaster entirely—phew! We’ve had to make some adjustments to the loot tables and T-Hex power to accommodate this change, but in general, expect 20% of the cashout power to be in T-Hex and 80% in your big ol’ loot cashout!

Void is a terror in the early game, but falls off as the game goes on. We’re making the scaling smoother for the summons to ensure it’s neither too dominant early, nor too weak late.

We’re shipping some Quality of Life (QoL) buffs for Zaun. The mod categorization changes should make Zaun 2 less painful to play (No longer will you get Hextech Exoskeleton when you have Zeri+Jinx), and the mod removals should make the comp easier to play since you don't have to constantly replace your units.

• Bastion Armor & MR: 20/50/100/240 ⇒ 25/55/100/240
• Noxus Stat Increase Per Stack: 10% ⇒ 5%

• 9 Noxus Stats: 500 HP/50% AP and AD ⇒ 600 HP/60% AP and AD
• Rogue Bleed Health percentage: 40% ⇒ 50%
• Rogue jump logic adjusted to more consistently move to the correct target
• Piltover: You will now gain both T-Hex Power and loot when you win! The T-Hex’s power has been brought down significantly to compensate. At lower loss streaks, the majority of the trait’s power will be in the loot. At higher loss streaks, the T-Hex’s power will be increased more so!
• Piltover: The T-Hex can no longer be sold for loot
• Piltover: The T-Hex no longer starts with 1 Charge

• T-Hex Charges item now displays estimated loot value on victory
• T-Hex Progress item no longer displays estimated loot value when the T-Hex is sold because the T-Hex can no longer be sold

• Void Baron Stage 6 Health Multiplier: 1x ⇒ 1.15x
• Zaun: Your first Zaun mod will always be an offensive mod (Robotic Arm, Virulent Bioware) or a hybrid mod (Adaptive Implant, Shimmer Injector). Your second mod will always be a hybrid mod or a defensive mod (Unstable Chemtank, Hextech Exoskeleton). You can’t get double hybrid mods. Your third mod will always be the remaining category.
• Zaun mods can now be removed by benching the modded unit.

UNITS: TIER 1

Our change to Cassiopeia should be noticeable when she has high Attack Speed from things like Shurima’s Ascension, or if you are (for some reason) playing AS Cassiopeia.

Demacia 3 might be the worst opening board in the game. We’re giving some love to the core 1-costs (Kayle and Poppy) of the trio in hopes that they can live up to the Elite title.

Malzahar’s shield-busting utility and strong early game damage have made him something of a menace. We’re shipping a small nerf to him, mostly to compensate for the buffs to his friend (Swain), but also to account for an improvement in his targeting.

• Cassiopeia Twin Fang cast time reduced
• If Cassiopeia’s target dies as Twin Fangs is about to fire, she will retarget to the nearest enemy
• Kayle AD: 25 ⇒ 30
• Malzahar Bugfix: Malzahar will now consistently pick the best angle to cast
• Malzahar can now only hit up to 2 units with Call of the Void, down from 3 units
• Malzahar Call of the Void Damage: 200/300/450 ⇒ 185/280/420
• Samira Flair cast time reduced
• Samira Flair is now targeted and can no longer be blocked by other units
• Poppy Steadfast Hammer Shield: 290/310/330/350 ⇒ 310/330/350/350

---

UNITS: TIER 2

Kassadin has become the quiet powerhouse of the 2-costs, dishing out excess damage in addition to providing tankiness and utility. We’re happy with the tankiness and utility, but we see a damage nerf as unaVoidable.

With our nerf for Soraka’s healing in our mid-patch update for 13.14, we’re looking to continue down the road of reducing her healing while also opening up the potential for her as a viable supportive carry—emphasis on the carry part.

Teemo is REALLY weak until he reaches four stars, where he becomes swole teemo and blows up entire boards. We’re giving him some additional help across all star levels, but especially early.

• Galio Shield of Durand Damage Reduction: 20/20/25% ⇒ 20/20/30%
• Kassadin Force Pulse Damage: 150/225/325 ⇒ 135/200/300
• Sett Facebreaker Damage: 200/300/465 ⇒ 180/270/420
• Soraka Astral Infusion Empowered Heal: 40% ⇒ 33%
• Soraka Astral Infusion Damage: 115/170/265 ⇒ 125/185/290
• Swain max Mana buff: 40/80 ⇒ 30/70
• Swain Demonflare Bonus Health: 450/475/500 ⇒ 450/500/550
• Swain Demonflare Damage Per Tick: 25/40/60 ⇒ 35/50/75
• Taliyah starting Mana nerf: 20/60 ⇒ 0/60
• Teemo Noxious Trap Damage: 200/300/465/500 ⇒ 230/350/535/535
• Teemo Multicasted Noxious Trap mushrooms now prefer to bounce to targets behind the original target.

UNITS: TIER 3

Even though it is by a thin margin, Akshan still reigns as the strongest 3-cost. We’re trimming down on his AD in hopes that he can still be a viable carry, but maybe you’ll want to use your AD items on your Aphelios instead.

The only thing Jayce can reliably bring to a comp is Piltover, and a nice buff to your other Gunners. Unreliable carries like Jayce are often avoided because losing rounds due to missing a high cost ability is frustrating. With this quality of life change we’re increasing his reliability a lot, making him much better for holding items and adding ambient damage when he is used for his vital traits.

Rek’Sai is the definition of a thresholdy unit, where if she can get to a strong enough point (three stars with perfect items), she can take over a fight. We’re trying to make her a little more consistent to play at 1 and 2-stars so the path to her final form is less painful.

• Akshan Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 60
• Garen Judgement Damage Per Tick: 72/75/80% ⇒ 75/75/85%
• Jayce’s Acceleration Blast nows tracks its target
• If Jayce’s target dies while he’s beginning his cast of Acceleration Blast, he will retarget to the nearest enemy
• Rek’Sai Furious Bite AD ratio: 300/300/315% ⇒ 315/315/315%
• Rek’Sai will now always heal if she dives or if her target dies.
• Rek’Sai now takes damage amp and critical strikes (if applicable) when deciding whether she will dive through her target.

---

UNITS: TIER 4

Kai’Sa can still find success in Challenger comps with Spear of Shojin, but without those stars aligning, she fails to make Icathian Rain more than a drizzle. With a Mana buff, we’re hoping she may still be usable without the Challenger/Spear of Shojin combo, but you’re still going to want Spear of Shojin on her.

Last patch we buffed Gwen and adjusted her AI to allow her to stick to her target more easily, but we did her wrong: sticking to her target meant she missed out on the AOE part of her spell. We’re updating her decision making again to improve her consistency.

Our Urgot adjustments increase his reliability as a carry via meaningful QoL improvements. The faster procs mean faster Mana generation (since his procs count as attacks) so we're slightly nerfing his Mana to compensate.

• Azir Arise! Damage: 95/140/500 ⇒ 100/150/550
• Kai’Sa Mana: 40/140 ⇒ 30/125
• Urgot lockout time between Disdain passive procs have been reduced
• Urgot max Mana nerf: 30/90 ⇒ 40/100
• Urgot Disdain AD ratio: 275% ⇒ 250%
• Urgot Disdain Damage: 50/75/500 ⇒ 40/60/500
• Gwen now prefers to hit multiple targets with Snip Snip! when possible.

UNITS: TIER 5

There is a lot of Ryze in this section, as we’re taking a very heavy balance pass on all 10 versions of him (Yes, Ryze is 10 different 5-costs in our game—wild). We’re generally flattening the power level across the different regions, but also making some regions like Bandle City and Shadow Isles more user friendly.

• Ahri Essence Thief steal Damage: 115/170/1000 ⇒ 100/150/1000
• Bandle City Ryze starting Mana nerf: 50/75 ⇒ 30/75
• Bandle City Ryze cast time: 2.5s ⇒ 2s
• Bandle City Ryze Bench selection: Random Unit ⇒ Most expensive Unit
• Bandle City Ryze Mana for Summoned Unit: 25/40/200 ⇒ 25/70/200
• Demacia Ryze Shield: 720/1080/9999 ⇒ 600/900/9999
• Demacia Ryze Damage: 250/375/999 ⇒ 300/450/999
• Freljord Ryze Portal Duration (Cast time and Stun duration): 3s ⇒ 2s
• Freljord Ryze Damage: 300/450/2000 ⇒ 300/450/3500
• Freljord Ryze at 3-stars now summons a much larger storm
• Ionia Ryze Cast Time: 3.5s ⇒ 2s
• Ionia Ryze Attack Speed: 50/60/300% ⇒ 30/40/300%

• Piltover Ryze Damage: 250/375/1999 ⇒ 275/425/3000

• Shurima Ryze Cast Time: 2.5s ⇒ 2s

AUGMENTS

We’re adding an additional balance lever for On a Roll which suffered after our nerf to the max free rerolls the Augment provides in a round.

Risky Moves is almost always the right move. We’re rolling back some on the gold the Augment grants to make you question your risk/reward decision making.

A Cut Above is especially powerful with its ability to grant a full item AND kickstart your economy. We’re nerfing the consistency at which it does kickstart your econ, since accessing a small amount of gold early game can have a large impact on your cumulative interest!

Despite Sett being strong, his carry Augment, The Boss, is on the weaker side. Currently, the best use of this Augment is to use Sett as a tank and tempo to fast 9, but with these changes he will be able to go do sit-ups earlier in the fight, and then reenter the fray as a fully shredded carry ready to do even more shredding…of enemy carries. These buffs may look exceptionally strong—they are, but part of that reason is because we are nerfing Sett as a unit (see Tier 2).

We’re taking a large balance pass on our Crown Augments, with larger nerfs to both Noxus Crown and Shadow Isles, while making more power neutral adjustments to the rest of them to grant you more usable items for your crown comps. For our adjusted Crown Augments, you should feel good about slamming these items right away, as well as have a late game option to use the items. These aren’t necessarily buffs for the Augments, but they’ll definitely make them more intuitive and easy to use.

• On a Roll now additionally grants 2 gold.
• Risky Moves Gold: 35 ⇒ 30
• Medium-End Shopping has been disabled
• A Cut Above Gold drop chance: 40% ⇒ 33%
• Built Different II Health: 180/240/300/360 ⇒ 200/275/350/425
• Dedication Units of a trait required: 5 ⇒ 4

• Juggernaut Crown Grants a Titan’s Resolve ⇒ Grants a Bloodthirster
• Piltover Crown Grants a Zeke’s Herald ⇒ Grants a Giant Slayer.

ITEMS

With our Morellonomicon change, expect it to be a viable item on Ashe or even Senna for the big AOE applications.

• Locket of the Iron Solari Shield: 250/300/350/400 ⇒ 275/325/375/425
• Morellonomicon now applies on any damage from Abilities instead of only magic or true damage from Abilities

---

ORNN (FORGE) AND SHIMMERSCALE ITEMS

Bringing the bottom up and the top down for our Shimmerscale and Ornn Items. Of note is a considerable buff to our weakest Ornn item, Hullbreaker, which should now be more than viable, especially early game!

Our adjustments for Deathfire Grasp are aimed to shift the item away from blowing up an individual unit instantly to instead becoming a more consistent damage amplifier.

• Determined Investor (Shimmerscale) Gold Granted: 10 ⇒ 5
• Diamond Hands (Shimmerscale) Health: 400 ⇒ 300
• Mogul’s Mail (Shimmerscale) Base Health Per Stack (max 40 stacks): 8 ⇒ 6
• Goldmancer’s Staff (Shimmerscale) AP: 20% ⇒ 25%
• Draven’s Axe (Shimmerscale) AD: 10% ⇒ 15%
• Needlessly Big Gem (Shimmerscale) Health: 500 ⇒ 600
• Sniper’s Focus Damage Amp: 8% ⇒ 10% per hex
• Deathfire Grasp Damage Buff Duration: 8 ⇒ 10 seconds
• Deathfire Grasp Bonus Damage to Marked Target: 50% ⇒ 35%
• Eternal Winter Health: 300 ⇒ 200
• Hullbreaker Armor & MR: 30 ⇒ 40

Small, like the chances of getting a three star 4-cost!

---

UNITS

We’re focusing on adjusting our three star 4-costs here to ensure no one is significantly better/worse than the other. Three cost 4-stars should all be possible win conditions, but still not completely guaranteed.

Gwen is adjusted in the above Large changes section, but the changes here are specifically targeted at her three star balance. Additionally it’s worth mentioning that we significantly buffed Azir at three stars in addition to a smaller buff to his one star version in the large changes. Finally, Urgot is being buffed as well through the lockout cadence adjusted earlier, which will have a significant impact on his strength at three stars.

• Aphelios Chakram AD ratio: 8/8/40% ⇒ 8/8/30%
• Gwen Snip Snip! Mist Duration: 3/3/6 ⇒ 3/3/5
• Gwen Snip Snip! Damage: 100/150/500 ⇒ 100/150/400
• Kai’Sa Icathian Monsoon Damage: 75/111/300 ⇒ 75/111/240
• Lux Torrent of Light Damage: 735/1100/3333 ⇒ 735/1100/2750
• Lux Torrent of Light Shred: 15/15/50 ⇒ 15/15/40
• Shen Ki Barrier Ally Shield: 275/350/1800 ⇒ 275/350/2000
• Shen Ki Barrier Damage: 240/360/2000 ⇒ 240/360/2500

AUGMENTS

By adding a Magnetic Remover to our Augments that grant items, you can instantly slam those items and immediately benefit from the full power of the Prismatic Augment, without having to sell your slammed unit when you hit your desired carry. You’ll also be able to better optimize your carry’s items if they already have their slots filled—just pop that remover and slam away!

• Blinding Speed also grants a Magnetic Remover
• Impenetrable Bulwark also grants a Magnetic Remover
• Overwhelming Force also grants a Magnetic Remover
• Unleashed Arcana also grants a Magnetic Remover
