With the last changes shipped, now is a good time to practice the Inkborn Fables set, according to game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. A few “last minute bug fixes” may drop leading up to launch, which may include further changes depending on data and input leading up to the TFT Set 11 official release. And we’ve got a full compiled list of PBE patch notes leading up to Patch 14.6

Multiple Inkborn Fables champions were hit with the March 13 TFT Set 11 PBE patch. In the two-cost slots, Kindred and Lux were nerfed across the board. Soraka was hit as a three-cost through her spell and AoE damage, as was Bard’s ability power damage. But it was the four-cost champions that got hit the hardest. 

As one of the best backline AD units, Ashe had her mana nerfed to 25/100. The two best frontline units, Galio and Sylas, were also hit with nerfs, although minor ones. Morgana was hit at one and two-star through her spell damage, reducing it from 265/400 to 240/360. And Rakan’s spell was nerfed at one and two-star from 200/300 to 185/275. 

Set 11 trait nerfs from the PBE patch targeted attack speed in Dragonlord, along with armor and magic resistance through Altruist. A bug fix has improved the Ghostly trait while damage per ghost was slightly buffed from 6/12/18/27 to 6/12/18/30 percent. And the number of instances before ghosts was reduced from seven to six. The Fortune trait win penalty increased from five to 10 percent while the options for 10-plus loss cashouts were adjusted. 

Players can continue to test out TFT Set 11 through the PBE servers. An official launch of Inkborn Fables will drop onto the live servers on March 19, depending on your region.
