TFT Set 9 Patch 13.14 notes: Big buffs and nerfs and B-patch

A huge Teamfight Tactics update packed with buffs, nerfs, and reworks for Runeterrra Reforged Set Nine will take place through Patch 13.14.

Scheduled to drop onto the live servers on July 19, Patch 13.14 contains a massive number of TFT balance changes, along with the launch of the temporary Soul Brawl game mode, changes to third-party Augment data, and a new event pass. Patch 13.14 also completes the API changes to third-party sites. The sites already don’t have access to Legend win rates, and starting on July 19, they will no longer report win rates for Augments at each Stage.

Here are the official notes for TFT Patch 13.14.                                          

13.14 B-patch balance changes

A TFT Set Nine 13.14 B-patch dropped on July 20 containing four champion and two Augment balance changes, according to Riot Kent.

Patch 13.14 TFT system changes

Patch 13.14 contains multiple system changes, from Mana Reave and strongest unit adjustments to PvE rounds and a Training Dummy buff. 

Elder Dragon and PvE round changes

Players will notice that the Elder Dragon at Stage 5-7 is slightly harder to take down, due to the Elder Dragon’s health increasing from 10,000 to 12,000. The change will shorten the time players have to pivot and make adjustments heading into Stage Six. 

Other PvE rounds with Krugs, Wolves, and Raptors will always drop at least two Orbs, starting in TFT Set Nine Patch 13.14. 

Strongest unit changes

The criteria used to identify the strongest unit on the battlefield was adjusted to help players identify and build around their strongest unit. 

• The strongest unit is the champion with the most items.
• If there is a tie between two units, the champion most recently fielded on the battlefield becomes the strongest unit.

Training Dummy buff

Training Dummy is another system change in Patch 13.14, gaining 50 attack damage. The change benefits players who give a Training Dummy the Deadeye or Rogue trait in conjunction with the Prismatic Augment Wandering Trainer can take advantage of the AD. 

The Deadeye trait with Wandering Trainer can have the Training Dummy proc and eliminate enemies while the Rogue trait can have the Training Dummy apply bleed damage. Players can check the Training Dummies stats through the combat tracker. 

Portal Patch 13.14 changes

Both Yuumi’s Zoom Zone and Petricite Forest are getting reworked in Patch 13.14. And the Treasure Dragon reroll cost in Warlord’s Palace was reduced from two to one. 

• Yuumi’s Zoom Zone: When you purchase XP, gain an additional two XP
• Petricite Forest: Start a game with three Component Anvils
• Warlord’s Palace: Treasure Dragon reroll cost reduced to one

Mana Reave adjustments

Starting with Patch 13.14, the impact of the Mana Reave debuff will get slightly reduced. All sources that Mana Reave have been reduced from 35 to 30 percent. The change will directly affect champions like Ahri, traits like Freljord, and items like Shroud of Stillness.

Bonus casts at the breakpoint of four through the Multicaster trait now have the intended 60 percent reduced effectiveness as opposed to 50 percent.
