Xerath is a Dark Star Sorcerer champion arriving on April 15 in the 10.8 TFT patch. It’s speculated that  Xerath will have a cost of five in the shop and an ability called Abysmal Bombardment, as seen in a Disguised Toast YouTube video featuring 10.8 PBE gameplay. 

Origins and classes

It’s hardly a surprise that Cybernetic is getting a nerf. But not too many players were expecting a Sorcerer buff, especially after it was revealed the class was getting a possible nerf earlier in the week. 

Buff

  • Celestial
  • Sorcerer
  • Space Pirate

Nerf

  • Cybernetic

Adjusted

  • Mech Pilots

Units

A buff applied to Master Yi, Shen, and Yasuo in TFT Set Three is huge for the Blademaster class. And a nerf to Lucian will certainly cripple the Cybernetic origin and Blaster class. 

Buff

  • Annie
  • Aurelion Sol
  • Caitlyn
  • Darius
  • Jinx
  • Master Yi
  • Shen
  • Syndra
  • Wukong
  • Xayah
  • Yasuo 
  • Zoe

Nerf

  • Lucian
  • Shaco
  • Vel’Koz

Adjusted

  • Rakan
  • Fizz

Items

As speculated earlier this week, Tear of the Goddess is still getting a nerf. Two items are getting adjusted, Deathblade and Zeke’s Herald, and several are receiving a buff. 

Buff

  • Chalice of Favor
  • Frozen Heart
  • Rapid Firecannon
  • Shroud of Stillness

Nerf

  •  Tear of the Goddess

Adjustment

  • Deathblade
  • Zeke’s Herald
