Scheduled to officially launch on July 21 via Patch 11.15, TFT Set 5.5 Reckoning: Dawn of Heroes received a decent-sized update on the PBE today. No other changes will take place over the weekend, according to Riot game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. Aphelios is getting an experimental buff with the goal of “sharpening his identity as a big AD caster,” according to Mortdog, along with several trait and item adjustments. 

From the Aphelios buff to a Dawnbringer nerf, here are the TFT Set 5.5 PBE balance changes for July 9. 

Radiant items

A total of 10 Radiant items received balance changes.

  • Bloodthirster: Radiant bonus AD reduced from  30 to 20

Bug fixes
