TFT 6.5 Worlds Patch 12.7: Full notes and updates

Riot Games is preparing the Gizmos and Gadgets World Championship meta via a large number of Teamfight Tactics Hextech Augments balance changes, along with around a dozen nerfs and buffs applied to traits and Set 6.5 champions in Patch 12.7.

Set 6.5 peaks within the month of April via the TFT Gizmos & Gadgets World Championship, scheduled to take place from April 29 to May 1. The Last Chance Qualifier will also take place on April 16, showcasing eight players from the EMEA, NA, LATAM, and BR regions. 

Both the Last Chance Qualifier and the Gizmos and Gadgets World Championship will be played on TFT Patch 12.7. And a system change will get applied that allows players to use the center emote space within the emote wheel to determine the emote that gets displayed upon your Tactician jumping out of portals. 

Here are the notes for TFT Patch 12.7.

Trait balance changes

A bug affecting Ashe’s mana has been fixed, with it now at 30/60. Tryndamere is slated for a base damage buff.
