Welcome to our analysis for TFT Patch Notes 12.20!
UPDATED for 12.20
Set 7.5 Uncharted Realms is now entering another patch cycle.
As usual, with the set out for a little bit now, patches are expected to mainly shift the meta a bit while also addressing any problematic comps.
Let’s get right into the changes and see what we can expect.
SYSTEM CHANGES
Blue Orbs
- 5 gold drops have been removed from Blue Orbs.
Treasure Dragon
- We’ve adjusted a few extreme rare cases for the Treasure Dragon to make them slightly less extreme.
Clamped Health Bars
- This change also impacts Mobile.
- Unit Health bars now stay on screen when units are fighting near the top edge of the screen.
LARGE CHANGES
TRAITS
Guild is getting nerfed a bit so that comps look to use more Guild members rather than just a few OP ones to build up a carry like Xayah. Shi Oh Yu and Sy’fen are the big hitters of the patch, and the Jade statues are getting nerfed as a result.
- Cavalier Armor and Magic Resistance: 30/45/60/75/110 ⇒ 35/50/65/85/110
- Dragonmancer Bonus Ability Power: 20/35/50/70 ⇒ 25/40/50/70
- Guild
Attack Speed (Twitch): 13% ⇒ 11%
Omnivamp (Emblem): 4% ⇒ 3%
Multiplier: 100/110/120/130/140/150/165/180% ⇒ 100/110/120/130/140/150/160/175% - Jade Statue Attack Speed: 10/30/55/88% ⇒ 10/22/55/88%

UNITS: TIER 1
- Senna
Mana buff: 30/90 ⇒ 15/75
Last Embrace bonus magic damage: 300/450/600 ⇒ 300/450/650- This is a pretty nice buff to Senna, and may support more Cannoneer comps, but we don’t expect too much from this change.
UNITS: TIER 2
- Zac Unstable Current percent max Health damage: 5/6/7% ⇒ 10/12/18%
- This buff is quite hefty, and should help Zac across all levels.
UNITS: TIER 3
A good amount of changes are coming to Nomsy to nerf the Mage variant, while buffing the Cannoneer and Evoker variant. Rengar is getting a deserved nerf, and Volibear is getting a small and likely unnoticeable buff.
