Jokes aside, we’ve got buffs for our carries who’ve never really done the carrying, lore related changes, Festival of Beasts balance changes, and a very special update for Choncc’s Treasure! Rodger "Riot Prism" Caudill PATCH HIGHLIGHTS SYSTEM CHANGES UNLOCKS With our last patch of the set, we’re letting two of our hardest Unlocks get more time off the bench and on the battlefield. - Aurelion Sol: 5 unique Targonians ⇒ 4 unique Targonians + Level 7 - Zaahen: Field a three-star Xin Zhao for 5 combats with Trials of Twilight ⇒ Field a three-star Xin Zhao in combat + Level 8 LARGE CHANGES Large, like our update to Choncc’s Treasure! TRAITS Making Darkin hit harder and heal a bit less. Overall this is a buff intended to herald the end times for us all. Activate at your own peril, or just the peril of the lobby. Couldn’t get the text changed to make Gunslinger into Guns Linger and turn all AD damage from the class into damage over time, so instead we opted to make the (4) piece have one more (4) in it for increased Jhinergy. Reroll Yordle gotta be a thing now please. - Darkin (3) Health Restore threshold: 600 ⇒ 525 - Darkin (3) Damage: 333 ⇒ 400 - Gunslinger AD Gained: 22/40% ⇒ 22/44% - Yordle 3-Star Multiplier: 100% ⇒ 120% UNITS: TIER 1 Reroll is back on the menu, but what the heck are these Blitzcrank and Shen buffs? Jhin’s finally getting the sniper-like trait he deserves! Will it be enough for reroll Jhin to be a thing? Lulu’s tired of never getting an item, especially after we used her as an example of how Support units shouldn’t be itemized in our recent Set Reviewed article. We’re buffing Sona back to her Archangel reroll glory days, but honestly a lot more has been buffed since then so don’t expect this to be the S-tier reroll you remember—wait, it is S-tier, it’s Sona-tier, and if you give her the right items, it’s Sona-tear. (And if I continue these puns, it’s Sona-tear-able.) - Anivia Ability Damage: 325/455/650 ⇒ 355/530/750 - Blitzcrank Health: 700 ⇒ 717 - Jhin is now a Longshot - Jhin AD Ability Damage: 145/215/325 ⇒ 155/235/350 - Jhin really wants to be a reroll carry - Lulu Mana buff: 20/70 ⇒ 10/55 - Lulu Ability Stun Duration: 2 ⇒ 1 - Shen Health: 700 ⇒ 717 - Sona Ability Heal: 30/40/65/100 ⇒ 40/50/80/110 AP UNITS: TIER 2 Bard’s loss-streak into Fast 8/9/ or just reroll, until I bleed out is back! Cho’Gath has never had his time to shine, or chow. So now we’re giving him an additional stacking fantasy hook. Get this Juggernaut a couple Mana/Tank items and get stacking! Be Twisted Fate and Graves and do crimes. These partners’ synergy is now better than ever, so get to shooting cards, dealing bullets, and feeling the love of final patch LP. - Bard Stage 3 Rerolls on Loss: 1 ⇒ 2 - Cho’Gath Gains 10/15/25/35 permanent max Health per cast. - Graves Partners in Crime AS: 2% ⇒ 4% - Rek’Sai Primary Ability Damage: 140/210/315 ⇒ 140/210/335 - Twisted Fate Partners in Crime AP: 10% ⇒ 12% UNITS: TIER 3 We’re adding a flat Omnivamp passive to Gwen to allow you to build more damage items like Jeweled Gauntlet and Nashor’s Tooth, while leaving the Bloodthirster at home. Malzahar has been the most overperforming champion in the set the world the entire galaxy. He far outperforms champions not in the set, most house cats, and my emotional support rock (Chip). It’s been about nine too many patches without his nerf, so we’re going extra hard here. While most of us on the team believe this nerf will make him unplayable, only one of us actually cares. C’ya Malz. - Gwen NEW Passive: Gains 15% Omnivamp - Malzahar Base HP: 650 ⇒ 649 - Milio Primary Ability Damage: 190/285/445 AP ⇒ 215/325/485 AP UNITS: TIER 4 Singed is all about being experimental, so we’re returning him to his near-PBE (Public Beta Experiment) power. Yes, we know the E in PBE _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://teamfighttactics.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/teamfight-tactics-patch-16-8]_
