An important update is coming soon to Teamfight Tactics with the arrival of the Unknown Realms on 12.17. In order to prepare for this, Riot Games has planned a lighter patch with 12.16 mainly allowing to preserve the balance of the game and the diversity of the compositions. As for the previous patch, 12.15, the objective is to be able to vary the compositions on the game as much as possible. all the changes of this patch 12.16 below.
MAJOR CHANGES
Major, like the role of Miamsy in Unknown Kingdoms!
KINDS
- Fighter – HP: 200/325/450/700 ⇒ 200/325/500/800
- Cavalier – Armor and Magic Resist: 35/60/85/110 ⇒> 35/55/75/100
- Dragon Rider – Fireball base damage! Yummy: 85/110/140/175 ⇒ 85/105/125/155
- Storm bonus attack speed after lightning: 20/50/100/200% ⇒ 20/50/120/250%
UNITS: TIER 1
Ezreal isn’t very effective as an item carrier or as a carry of your reroll comps. With these adjustments, we’re allowing him to cast his skill more frequently and use items like Guinsoo’s Raging Blade and Statikk’s Dagger more effectively.
- Ezreal Attack Damage: 40 ⇒ 35
- Ezreal Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.65
UNITS: TIER 2
Braum’s shield is pretty damn strong. According to the latest news, what is solid hurts when you get it in the face.
Prism’s guide to playing Kayn.
- Items: Infinity Edge, Giant Slayer, and Cloak of Night or Mercury.
- Managing your economy: spend your excess gold (staying above 50 gold) until you get a 3-star Kayn, while keeping your fingers crossed for a Shen 3 and a Qiyana 3 for free!
- Types: Assassin 4, Furywing 3.
- Super-Secret Tip: Finishing in first place will earn you more LP, so make sure to win!
- Braum Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 70
- Kayn Max Mana (buff): 0/45 ⇒ 0/30
- Kayn Armor and Magic Resist: 25 ⇒ 35
UNITS: TIER 3
Apparently, no one has reached the Challenger tier by following Lee Sin’s guide that I slipped into previous patch notes. Sorry, it’s my fault. But if you still can’t do it after this new patch, it’s totally your fault.
- Diana – Damage per Celestial Bodies Orb: 80/90/110 ⇒ 90/105/120
- Diana Total Celestial Bodies Damage: 400/540/770 ⇒ 450/630/840
- Lee Sin Max Mana (buff): 40/100 ⇒ 30/90
- Ryze Attack Speed: 0.65 ⇒ 0.7
UNITS: TIER 4
Our 8 Range Dragons are far too strong and can be found in all dominant strategies. As we planned to reduce their cost and nerf them in Unknown Realms, we’ll be applying some of these nerfs now. We hope that the compositions without Dragon will find their place in the game before the arrival of Unknown Realms.
At this point, I feel like even Rakan doesn’t talk as much about Xayah as I do. The buff given to Xayah in the previous patch made her almost viable as a carry, but she has more difficulty at 1-star than other carries that can stabilize early-game comps.
- Daeja Armor and Magic Resist: 40 ⇒ 30
- Daeja Flurry Passive Damage: 25/40/150 ⇒ 20/35/150
- Shi Oh Yu Jade Form Damage Reduction: 20/25/50% ⇒ 15/20/50%
- Syfen Attack Damage: 110 ⇒ 100
- Syfen – Armor and Magic Resist: 70 ⇒ 60
- Xayah Attack Damage: 70 ⇒ 75
- Xayah – Base damage per Feather of Fly, My Feathers! : 12/20/60 ⇒ 15/20/60
UNITS: TIER 5
An “X” is usually said to mark the location of a treasure, but with these buffs that Pyke receives, the location is marked with a big “X___X”.
Despite these nerfs, the wandering swordsman will undoubtedly continue to find his place in many compositions; only, not in all.
- Pyke Abyssal Execution Damage: 325/450/15000 ⇒ 375/475/15000
- Pyke Abyssal Execution secondary damage: 150/250/15000 ⇒ 180/250/15000
- Yasuo HP: 1100 ⇒ 1000
- Yasuo Slashing Circle attack damage percentage: 160/200/3000 ⇒ 150/180/3000
OBJECTS
Statikk’s Dagger was the star of this set thanks to its base damage that was too high in impact in the early game.
Zz’Rot’s Portal was very effective in stalling fights with minimal frontline units.
- Statikk Dagger Magic Damage: 60 ⇒ 50
- Statikk’s Favor (Item of Light) – Magic Damage: 100 ⇒ 75
- Zz’Rot Portal – Netherspawn HP (Phases 2/3/4/5+): 1350/1600/1900/2250 ⇒ 1200/1450/1700/2000
- Invitation of Zz’Rot (item of light) – Void Mother HP (Phases 2/3/4/5+): 3000/3400/3800/4500 ⇒ 2500/3000/3500/4000
OPTIMIZATIONS
Axiomatic Arc should be more interesting than Blue Battery when it comes to boosting manavore carries, but its two tiers are currently too ineffective due to the difficulty of using this optimization. When choosing this optimization, consider going for carries such as Aurelion Sol, Ao Shin, or Zoe to maximize your power. And with always MORE mana returned, this optimization will have everything to please.
A few of our generic buffs (Best Friends II and III, Cybernetic buffs, Achilles Heel) are way too strong, and that’s more of a problem since so many comps can use them.
Scorch continues to give Furiail wings, and as Xayah gets buffed, we’re going to make sure these comps don’t turn the world to ashes. The reign of fire is not for now!
- Axiomatic Bow I/II – Mana on kill: 20/30 ⇒ 25/40
- Best Friends Attack Speed: 10/20/30% ⇒ 10/15/20%
- Cybernetic Enhancements (Implants, Carapace, and Link) – HP: 125/200/300 ⇒ 100/150/250
- Boiling Cannonball (Cannoneer) Percentage of Max HP as True Burn Damage: 8% ⇒ 6%
- Endgame Specialist gold granted at level 9: 40 ⇒ 45
- Personal Coach – base HP granted per adjacent Fighter: 30 ⇒ 40
- Rich Enrichment+ – gold granted: 15 ⇒ 18
- Burn (Furiwing) Damage Amplification: 33% ⇒ 25%
- Achilles Heel Healing Reduction Duration: 5 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds
- Financial Windfall Range: 20/30/40 ⇒ 25/35/45
MINOR CHANGES
Minor, like the place that the Guild type will now take in the interface!
KINDS
The Guild is full of talented individuals, including a UX designer who downsized this guy’s inset.
- Guild: We changed the way the type inset appears so that it takes up less space.
- Scalebreaker Percentage bonus magic damage: 15/50/125 ⇒ 15/50/115%
- Lightscale Item, Draven Ax – Gold per cash: 8 ⇒ 7
UNITS: TIER 2
Yone is slightly too strong. Maybe because he has two swords. But it’s more likely because his 2-star version is too good with items.
- Yone Hunter’s Path bonus magic damage on hit: 90/150/225 ⇒ 90/140/215
UNITS: TIER 3
- Elise Venom Bite Damage: 210/260/310 ⇒ 230/270/310
UNITS: TIER 4
Will Sona find her way as a carry during this final patch of Age of Dragons? Probably not, but that won’t stop me from equipping him with a Rabadon’s Cap and a Morellonomicon to celebrate this change.
- Sona Crescendo Damage: 250/350/1000 ⇒ 250/375/1000
UNITS: TIER 5
The tweaks we made to Shyvana in the previous patch paid off, but there’s a mismatch between what items you’d like to give her (damage and resistances) and what you should give her (more mana). Increasing her starting mana should solve the problem a bit and make it easier for players to equip Shyvana.
- Ao Shin Ability Damage: 225/400/2500 ⇒ 225/385/2500
- Shyvana starting mana (buff): 0/60 ⇒ 15/60
OBJECTS
Believe it or not, the Rocket Fist was Ornn’s most powerful item in the entire set. This is due to players forgetting to position themselves accordingly, but also due to the fact that it offers a lot of HP.
- Ion Spark Percentage of Max Mana Magic Damage: 200% ⇒ 185%
- Solar Cloak – HP: 300 ⇒ 250
- Rocket Fist (Ornn Item) HP: 350 ⇒ 300
- Staff of the Urf-Angel (Item of Light) – Starting Power: 30 ⇒ 40
- Dreadfully Dazzling Blade (Item of Light) Attack Damage: 50/75/100 ⇒ 55/85/115
- Demon Slayer (Light Item) Base Damage Amplification: 35% ⇒ 40%
- Demon Slayer (Item of Light) HP Threshold: 2200 ⇒ 2000
- Rabadon’s Exalted Coif (Item of Light) Potency: 120 ⇒ 125
- Hirana’s Spear (Item of Light) Power: 20 ⇒ 30
OPTIMIZATIONS
- Sustained Attack (Viftireur) Percentage of max HP as damage: 5% ⇒ 4%
MODES
HYPER-ROLL
- Personal Coach (Enhancement) – base HP granted per adjacent Fighter: 60 ⇒ 80
- Zz’Rot Portal – Netherspawn HP (Phases 1-4/5-7/8+): 1350/1900/2250 ⇒ 1200/1700/2000
- Invitation of Zz’Rot (item of light) – Void Mother HP (phases 1-4/5-7/8+): 3000/3800/4500 ⇒ 2500/3500/4000

- Runaan’s Hurricane no longer deals the bonus magic damage of Scalebreakers.
