The first PBE update for Set 6.5 took place today, resulting in a large chunk of downtime due to extended maintenance. When the update completes later today, players will get to test out a number of balance changes taking place that focus on three to five-cost champions. Rek’Sai, Swain, and Talon were the only two-cost TFT Set 6.5 champions who got balance changes, while five-cost units like Jinx and Zeri had multiple levers adjusted.
