Riot Games released a preview of tentative changes tonight on Twitter for the upcoming Teamfight Tactics Set Three 10.8 update that includes Xerath, a new champion.
Set to update on April 15, the 10.8 TFT patch is loaded with champion buffs, a nerf to Cybernetic origin, a new champion, and several adjustments. The changes posted to Twitter tonight by Riot are still tentative and have undergone extensive playtesting in PBE.

Xerath
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

- Lucian
- Shaco
- Vel’Koz
Adjusted
- Rakan

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
