Official Patch Notes

Greetings Tacticians!

Good to see y'all again for a new year of Teamfight Tactics. Our first patch of the new decade is a big one and features one new trait, two new champions, three new items (replacing a few old ones), and the typical line-up of balance changes and adjustments. Here are the highlights: Defensive team compositions should see a boost from the new Lunar trait and the introduction of Leona and Karma to the line-up. A number of items now scale with their wearer's star level. Light has been buffed both as a trait and from a number of individual champions.

Last but not least, a new year of TFT wouldn't be complete without a few new Little Legends. Keep an eye out for our new friends who should become available later this week.

Take this portal if you're looking for League's patch notes!

Let's get into it!

New Little Legends

---

Flutterbug

Wants to take over the world -- and eat all the yummiest things in it. But, he’s very small. He often has to hide under things in order to not get squashed. While he hides, he machinates on his complex plans.

Craggle

An adorable statue carved from the finest Demacian petricite (anti-magic stone). He has a soft spot for the vulnerable creatures of the world, and tries to protect them with every ounce of his strength as if he was a giant colossus -- even if he is still growing.

Tocker

Tocker is constantly tinkering with things to make them better, even on his own body! (His left wing is always a bit squeaky). He loves meeting new people and learning about the world through his enormous blue eyes.
