TFT patch 17.8 notes

Briar and Twisted Fate have had their patches, but it’s been a few since these 1-costs have made it to the mid-game as itemized carries.

• Briar AD 35→40
• Twisted Fate Maximum Spell Damage 410/610/920/1565 AP→450/675/1015/1725 AP

N.O.V.A. reroll with Jax popped up in the meta after our Tactician’s Crown when players finally realized how good Akali is. We’re lowering her N.O.V.A. strike bleed damage to keep her from cutting above the rest of our reroll comps. A bit of the magic from Enchanted Wilds has leaked into Space Gods, bringing Gnar the Brawler trait he has as a 5-cost in our next set.

Akali 1-cost · Inferno Nerf

• N.O.V.A. Strike Damage per Second 15/22/28 AD→14/18/25 AD

• Gnar is now also a Brawler

Two-tanky (Gold Augment) uses Samira’s passive and knockup to become one of our most consistently dominant comps. We’re lowering the duration and damage on her passive so that clicking the Augment is less of a guarantee for top four. Diana has some powerful Arbiter combinations, but there’s more to cook up here, so we’re giving her a little lift in cast frequency (and a small shield nerf) that will allow for even more combos!

Diana 3-cost · Lunar Mixed

• Mana 0/50→0/40
• Shield 275/325/515 AP→230/280/450 AP

• Miss Fortune Replicator Damage AD 275/415/660 AD→300/450/675 AD
• Miss Fortune Conduit Spell Damage AD 80/120/190→90/135/225 AD
• Samira Passive Damage 55/80/130 AD→45/68/115 AD
• Samira Knockup Duration 1s→0.75s

As an Invoker in our next set, Morgana is also benefiting from the enchanting powers of Set 18. We’re adding the similar mana-focused class to her, alongside a small compensation nerf to invoke some new Conduit boards!

Morgana 4-cost · Coven Nerf

• Mana 30/80→45/95
• Base Heal 600/700 AP→550/650 AP

• Riven Small Cast Damage 90/135 AD→100/150 AD
• Riven 3rd Cast Damage 160/240 AD→180/270 AD

• Morgana is now also a Conduit

Speaking of Augments that give free top-fours, don’t sleep on this one.

• Zed Health Penalty 33/40%→25/35%

Anima Squad is very good and quite easy to hit (I heard the tech is to roll for it on 2-5). We’re lowering the power of its strongest cashout items while adjusting a few of the Anima (5) loot drops. Morgana is picking up a new trait, Conduit, so with the class getting an additional (and powerful) tank, we’re giving it a slight nerf. Psionic (4) still hasn’t had its chance to unleash its full potential. We’re tuning up the Psionic items to encourage further commitment to the trait.

• Anima Squad Items The Annihilator: AP: 30%→25%
• Iceblast Armor Stun Duration: 2s→1.5s
• Lioness’ Lament Armor + Magic Resist: 30→25
• Adjusted Options 2x 5-cost + 1g→1x 5-cost + 3g
• Conduit (5) Ally Mana 3 Mana Regen→2 Mana Regen
• Psionic (4) Items Biomatter Preserver: Base Health: 550→650
• Drone Uplink 2nd Drone Damage: 20%→30%
• Malware Matrix Damage Amp: 10%→15%
• Target-Lock Optics AP/AD: 20%→30%

• Anima Squad (5) Loot Table: New Options: 9 Gold / 2x 4-cost / 3x Tiny Duplicators + 3g
• Removed Options: 1x Thieve’s Gloves / Voyager Emblem

• Cosmic Restart Rerolls 8→15

• Dev Drop: Enchanted Wilds
• TFT Enchanted Wilds in 60 Seconds
• TFT Set 18's Mechanic: Wisps!
• The Wildest 5-costs of Set 18

• Choncc’s Classic Treasure goes live shortly after the patch deploys
• Brings League Classic elements to Choncc’s Lore & Legends
