RANKED REWARDS AND MORE!

NEW RANKED SEASON

Developer's notes

Time to climb to the heights of Cyber City.

When Cyber City goes live in your region, or after you download the latest mobile patch, you can start climbing.

Depending on your rank in the previous set, you will start anywhere from Iron II to Silver IV. This is true for both Double Up and Standard ranked.

You will get 5 provisional matches after the reset, meaning you will not lose any LP for bottom 4 placements in your first 5 ranked games of the new stage. You'll also gain extra LP for finishing top 4, so best of luck!

Your Hyper rating will be reset to 500

Note that there's still a 24h period of delay between mobile and PC going live

During that time, Mobile players who have not yet gotten the new set in their region won't be able to climb the ladder on the old set

USER INTERFACE

TEAM PLANNER UPGRADES

Developer's notes

During our last two patches, we shipped a couple upgrades to Team Planner that we're rehashing here for visibility.

Team Codes: You can now Paste Team Codes into Team Planner while in game

Undo Button: You can now click the undo button in the Team Planner to take back any changes you just made

DOUBLE UP GRADUATES FROM WORKSHOP

CORE GAMEPLAY AND CHANGES

Developer's notes

We released an article about Double Up during its PBE debut, but we've changed the mode a ton since then, so refer to this as the most up-to-date source of truth for the mode. And thanks for providing feedback—we hope you see it reflected here and are as excited as ever to queue with your best Tactician friends (BTFs).

You can now join and make a lobby with up to seven other players

Share a Tactician Health pool with your Partner. Elimination prevention is back (it was absent for some of PBE), meaning the first time you'd be eliminated, instead drop to 1 HP. Any player damage afterward will end you and your partner's run, so good luck!

The Rune of Allegiance is now a rune of the past—it's gone. In its place is the Teamwork Cannon!

Use the new Teamwork Cannon to send items and units to your duo. Items can be traded for like-strength items (Core and Components only). Trading items has no cooldown.

Send units with the Teamwork Cannon! Units can be traded with a cooldown dependent on the star of the unit. Four-round cooldown for one-stars. Six-round cooldown for two-, three-, and four-stars. There are no unit cost restrictions of sending units—unlike the old Rune of Allegiance.

Gifts sent by the Gift Armory are now free. Options have been reduced to two or three. Spatulas can no longer be found in the Gift Armory (they were on PBE) and Gift power has been lowered since PBE.

Gift Armories offered to both teammates during a stage will now always be the same Size (could be offered the same or different choices) to make lobby matchups less lopsided

Item drops from PvE rounds have been reduced by two item components. This is due to the ease in making optimal items with the Teamwork Cannon.

After you've won your fight, you can reinforce your duo after a brief delay. Delay timing remains unchanged at 11 seconds from combat start (it's been like this for multiple sets now).

The following Augments are now disabled for Double Up: Future Sight, Tomb Raider, Cluttered Mind, Pandora's Bench, Clear Mind, NO SCOUT NO PIVOT, Over Encumbered, Slammin', BRB

SYSTEMS

SET MECHANIC: HACKS

Developer's notes

Benevolent Hackers have infiltrated TFT's core systems to your benefit! Here's a quick TL;DR on the rules, but to get more information about Hacks, make sure to check out our article on the mechanic.

Hacks will alter each game in a variety of ways, affecting how core systems such as Augments, the Shop, or Items function. These Hacks will always be beneficial and will impact all players at the same power level, just in slightly different ways.

You'll see two to five Hacks each game.

PVE ROUNDS

Developer's notes

PvE (non-player combat) rounds have been taken over by Mechas! So long, Krug, hello, Robo-dude.

PvE enemies have been replaced by Mechas

CLASS EMBLEM UPGRADES

Developer's notes

It's rarely something we use or talk about extensively, but champion traits can be broken down into Origins, typically the cooler, shinier set-exclusive traits, and Classes, the less flashy, but important style of combat a champion uses. While Origins and their Emblems often drastically change the way a user performs, Class Emblems rarely do the same (Bruiser Emblem Dr. Mundo being the notable exception from the last set). We're changing this to give each Class Emblem a unique hook that'll encourage you to find the best wielder for the class rather than just slam it on a designated trait-bot like they're a wild Bidoof (we can reference Pokémon, right?). Rapidfire Renekton, Bruiser Zac, Strategist Viego, there are sure to be many powerful combos here!

Bastion Emblem: Gain 10% of Amor and Magic Resistance as Ability Power

Bruiser Emblem: Deal an additional 1% magic damage per 240 Health

Dynamo Emblem: On cast, gain 1% Damage Amp per 15 mana spent

Executioner Emblem: Critical Strikes ignore 20% Armor and Magic Resistance

Marksman Emblem: Dealing physical damage removes 1 Armor

Rapidfire Emblem: Gain +2 range

Slayer Emblem: All incoming healing is increased by 25%

Strategist Emblem: Gain 50% of the other Strategist bonus

Techie Emblem: Gain 15% more Ability Power from all sources

Vanguard Emblem: Gain 150 health whenever you are shielded

AUGMENT CYCLING: REMOVED

Developer's notes

With a new roster and hacks mixing things up, we're showing the door to some of our Augments that are either roster dependent, interfere too much with hacks, or just need to be vaulted for better or worse. Who knows, maybe you'll see one of these Augments in a different way sooner than you think?

The following Augments have missed the train to Cyber City:

Anger Issues

At What Cost

Beggars Can Be Choosers

Built Different

Ghosts of Friends Past

Powered Shields

Power Up

Reroll Transfer

Superstars I

Superstars II
