Teamfight Tactics Patch 12.20 Notes & Breakdown

Welcome to our analysis for TFT Patch Notes 12.20!

UPDATED for 12.20

Set 7.5 Uncharted Realms is now entering another patch cycle.

As usual, with the set out for a little bit now, patches are expected to mainly shift the meta a bit while also addressing any problematic comps.

Let’s get right into the changes and see what we can expect.

TFT Patch 12.20 Highlights

SYSTEM CHANGES

Blue Orbs

  • 5 gold drops have been removed from Blue Orbs.

Treasure Dragon

  • We’ve adjusted a few extreme rare cases for the Treasure Dragon to make them slightly less extreme.

Clamped Health Bars

  • This change also impacts Mobile.
  • Unit Health bars now stay on screen when units are fighting near the top edge of the screen.

LARGE CHANGES

TRAITS

Guild is getting nerfed a bit so that comps look to use more Guild members rather than just a few OP ones to build up a carry like Xayah. Shi Oh Yu and Sy’fen are the big hitters of the patch, and the Jade statues are getting nerfed as a result.

  • Cavalier Armor and Magic Resistance: 30/45/60/75/110 ⇒ 35/50/65/85/110
  • Dragonmancer Bonus Ability Power: 20/35/50/70 ⇒ 25/40/50/70
  • Guild
    Attack Speed (Twitch): 13% ⇒ 11%
    Omnivamp (Emblem): 4% ⇒ 3%
    Multiplier: 100/110/120/130/140/150/165/180% ⇒ 100/110/120/130/140/150/160/175%
  • Jade Statue Attack Speed: 10/30/55/88% ⇒ 10/22/55/88%
  • Ragewing
    Attack speed: 50/100/150/250% ⇒ 50/100/150/275%
    Omnivamp: 15/30/45/75% ⇒ 15/30/45/85%

UNITS: TIER 1

  • Senna
    Mana buff: 30/90 ⇒ 15/75
    Last Embrace bonus magic damage: 300/450/600 ⇒ 300/450/650
    • This is a pretty nice buff to Senna, and may support more Cannoneer comps, but we don’t expect too much from this change.

UNITS: TIER 2

  • Zac Unstable Current percent max Health damage: 5/6/7% ⇒ 10/12/18%
    • This buff is quite hefty, and should help Zac across all levels.

UNITS: TIER 3

A good amount of changes are coming to Nomsy to nerf the Mage variant, while buffing the Cannoneer and Evoker variant. Rengar is getting a deserved nerf, and Volibear is getting a small and likely unnoticeable buff.

    Fireballs! Damage: 210/300/480 ⇒ 190/270/420
    Evoker Nomsy, Lulu Whimsy Attack Speed Buff: 30/40/60% ⇒ 40/50/70%
    Cannoneer Nomsy, Tristana Attack Speed: 0.7 ⇒ 0.75

    Mana nerf: 60/120 ⇒ 70/140

UNITS: TIER 4

Most of the 4-cost changes are slight, but they are nerfing the most problematic Dragons.

  • Daeja Windblast Damage: 250/350/1600 ⇒ 250/335/1350
  • Pantheon Aegis Assault Damage: 100/150/700 ⇒ 75/110/700
  • Sohm Tideblossom detonation damage: 300/420/1500 ⇒ 285/400/1400
  • Sy’fen max Mana nerf: 90/160 ⇒ 100/170

UNITS: TIER 5

Here are a few slight nerfs to the 5 and 10-cost units.
