    Stages, rounds and why health matters

    How a game is paced, what a lost fight costs at each point, and why health is something you spend, not something you keep.

  2. UniversityFundamentals5 minute read

    Gold, interest and streaks

    Where your gold comes from, why holding it pays, and the one moment saving stops being smart.

    Wisps, explained

    How Wisps work in Teamfight Tactics Set 18: the single-use shop powers of Enchanted Wilds, Blossom upgrades, the returning Carousel, and the hidden Eclipse trait.

Solar Reroll Line Targeted Buffs
Xayah. Ability damage buffed across all star levels to support Solar reroll viability. In the same story: Rakan, Varus, Kayle, Shen and Lux (Solar).Splash art: Riot Games

  • Combat Phases Shortened

    Combat Arrival and Departure phases are each 1 second shorter, saving nearly a minute per game.

  • Dark Ritual, Construct-A-Companion and Forge-A-Friend Re-enabled

    All three return. Dark Ritual's AP cashouts are cut, and Construct-A-Companion now guarantees the Companion you constructed.

  • Solar Reroll Line Targeted Buffs

    Xayah, Rakan, Varus, Kayle, Shen, and Solar Lux all receive buffs aimed at reviving the Solar reroll archetype.

  • Juggernaut and Executioner Nerfs

    Juggernaut Durability and Executioner bleed are trimmed; Riot calls Juggernaut (6) too easy to slot in and Executioner Emblem carries too dominant.

  • Trait Ladder Nerfed Hard

    Trait Ladder's gold and unit rewards are cut across every cashout tier after it dominated Grandmaster and above lobbies.

  • New 0-Cost Wisps Added

    Four new Wisps (Drizzle, Grove Armor, Returning Friend, Room for a Shroom) appear from Stage 4-1 to 5-7 for players with under 10 gold, adding low-gold variety.
