During a presentation a few days ago, we were able to discover in preview the update of the 7.5 set of TFT entitled the Unknown Realms. As with every mid-set, Riot Games has planned big changes, especially in terms of champions and synergies. Some will bow out to make way for newcomers. Find out what awaits you in convergence.
goodbyes
It’s time to shed a little tear (or not), and say goodbye to several champions but also synergy.
The Dragon Riders’ favorite student, Miamsy, has become an expert. These Riders have disappeared, but you will undoubtedly see them again:
The Pyrotechnicians put their things away. Nothing like a lagoon to drown out those firecrackers. So, find themselves unemployed:
It is said that the Legends are eternal. But it is a myth. These legends therefore disappear, and are no longer… just a legend:
- Anivia
- Ornn
- Volibear remains, but will no longer be a Legend
Next, we have to talk about those who didn’t graduate from the Dragon Academy. Say goodbye to those dunces:
- Aatrox
- Taric
- Ashe
- Thresh
- Shen
- Kayn
- Nami
- Elise
- Illaoi
- Ryze
- Ornn
- Neeko
- Heel
- pyke
New synergies
Who says departures necessarily says arrivals, and the synergies that have disappeared will make way for new ones, which will therefore necessarily include new champions.
Lagoon
Lagoon
Lagoon : Lagoon units gain power and attack speed which increase at each level (3/6/9/12). Additionally, a Sea Stone appears on the board and charges with energy when units in the Lagoon use skills.
As you load up your Seastone, you’ll earn more loot, with a few bonus surprises! The Sea Stone stores energy throughout the game. The more you progress in the levels, the more interesting the loot will be.
– Malphite: Tier 1 Fighter
– Taliyah: Tier 1 Mage
– Kai’Sa: Tier 2 Dragonmancer
– Zac: Tier 2 Guardian
– Seraphine: Tier 3 Sorcerer
– Zeri: Tier 3 Cannoneer
– Nilah: Tier 4 Assassin
– Sohm: Dragon, Tier 4 Mage (7 gold)
black wings
black wings : the unit in the Blackwing hex is sacrificed at the start of the fight, which brings a random item to each Blackwing champion, and bonus HP which increases at each level of the type (2/4/6/8 ).
Uncraftable items and Emblems are corrupted when copied, and become Blackwing Essence instead.
– Aphelios: Tier 2 Cannoneer
– Rell: Tier 2 Cavalier
– Rengar: Tier 3 Assassin
– Swain: Tier 4 Dragon (7 gold)
Monolith
Terra : Dragon, Tier 5 Monolith (8 gold)
Passive Type, Monolith : Reveals three hexes that grant damage reduction to units that start combat there.
Skill : Terra slams into the ground and causes an earthquake around him, which deals physical damage based on a combination of his armor, magic resistance, and attack damage. When the earthquake ends, Terra’s scales harden for 6 seconds, granting her armor and magic resistance.
A real colossus in late-game compositions, this legendary dragon brings powerful effects for players who like to end in style! Terra can use a combination of tanking and AD items, and is always very useful to your team thanks to the Monolith boxes.
Prodigy
Yummy : Tier 3 Prodigy Dragon Mage (6 gold)
Fireball ! : Yummy shoots a fireball at its target. It explodes on impact and unleashes EVEN MORE fireballs!
– Prodigy : At each game, Miamsy will be able to summon a new Dragon Rider: Heimerdinger, Tristana or Lulu. His summoned Dragon Rider will have his type and spell from Age of Dragons, but adjusted to Yumsy’s power.
– In addition to invoking its former Dragon Riders, Miamsy learned their lessons. Miamsy benefits from the type of his former Dragon Rider. Heimerdinger makes Miamsy a Mage, Tristana a Gunner, and Lulu a Sorcerer.
– Yummy and her summoned unit share a type, which gives two units for that type’s tier, because that’s the power of friendship!
New dragons
It’s not just Miamsy and Terra (unique unit of their synergy) that are appearing – but also a well-known champion of the set who is paying for a small, well thought-out evolution.
Sohm: Tier 4 Dragon, Mage, Lagoon (7 gold)
– The Tide Spirit Sohm formed the Great Reefs in Age of Dragons to protect his fish friends. Then he preferred to be forgotten by the world, to remain only a distant memory. Yet in these new times, Sohm has woken up to protect us again. Will you come to his aid?
– Skill : Sohm sends the tide to an unmarked target, which then receives the Tideflower mark. Enemies in the path take magic damage. Tidal Flowers transfer to a nearby target if the enemy dies. After 3 casts, Sohm’s next cast summons a vortex under all Tideflowers, which deals even more magic damage to enemies in the area.
– Strategy : Sohm likes water and all things blue, so be sure to give him a Blue Buff. Since Lagoon already gives him power, adding a Precious Gauntlet and Infinity Edge can really make him colossal!
Swain, Tyrannical Dragon: Tier 4 Blackwing Dragon (7 gold)
– Skill : Swain unleashes a dragon swarm and launches dragons that deal magic damage to nearby enemies, before returning to Swain to heal him for a percentage of his missing health.
– Swain serves as a new tough carry option, using his control over lesser dragons to do his bidding…
– With the new Blackwings type, it has potential both as a power bottom unit or a front unit with tanking items. Finding healing buffs like First Aid Kit or Celestial Blessing can increase its damage if you place it aggressively.
Zippy: Dragon, Tier 3 Guild (6 gold)
– Skill : Zippy equips himself with a shield and somersaults towards the enemy with the highest percentage of HP. It then deals a percentage of his attack damage to him as physical damage and knocks him back slightly.
– Zippy is a hyperactive Dragon. he just wants to do somersaults or a pogo. Zippy is tanky, disruptive, and downright goofy.
– It strengthens your mid-game front line and gives you an amazing amount of crowd control. He can carry, but he’s really not good at focusing on a target. It’s not his fault. He easily loses focus.
– None of our tier 3 (6 gold) Dragons can spawn in blue/grey loot orbs, because finding one of these units during early PvE rounds would be as unfair as playing against them.
Changing types for changing terrain
Some changes in type bearings are to be expected. Most of these changes allow units to be replaced, but also add a bit more flexibility with composition diversity. Expect a rebalancing of these types.
- Dragonmancer (3/6/9) >>> (2/4/6/8)
- Jade (3/6/9/12) >>> (3/5/7/9)
- Furywing (3/6/9) >>> (2/4/6/8)
- Guard (2/4/6) >>> (2/4/6/8)
New optimizations
In addition to the optimizations related to our new types, some more unique ones have been added. They are not all presented here, but here are the most interesting according to the developers:
- Lucky Gloves (Gold) : Thief’s Gloves will forever give your champions items they can use well. You gain 1 Thief’s Gloves.
- Scoped Weapons (Gold, Prismatic) : Your units that start the fight on the 2 rear rows gain +2 attack range and +15% attack speed.
- Draconic Imperialist (Gold) : If you only have one dragon, dragons execute enemies they damage if they have less than 25% HP.
- Constance (Gold) : You gain double gold for your streak.
- Age of Dragons (Prismatic) : If you only line up Dragons, every 5 attacks, a Dragon launches a Dragon Soul explosion that deals magic damage equal to 12% of the target’s max HP. You win a Yummy and 2 random Tier 4 Dragons.
All these new features are now available on the PBE. Midset 7.5 will hit servers with patch 12.17, which will hit live servers on Wednesday, September 8, 2022.
