Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.2 notes: Unit changes, Lunar Festival and more

Patch 14.2 will see Teamfight Tactics receive some minor changes to its balance as the set introduced for Season 14 gets some fine-tuning ahead of the mid-set revival.

Patch 14.2 is bringing the Lunar Festival to TFT. Players will be able to access an in-client hub where they can play the Set 3.5 Revivial: Galaxies game mode while also keeping track of their event pass progress.

The patch will also bring much-anticipated cosmetics like Chibi Sona, Golden Dragon Skyscraper Arena, and Chibi Porcelain Lux.

Riot will further add a Loadout randomizer to the lobby screen for players who have multiple cosmetics for their Tactician, Arena, and Boom. System changes appear in this patch as well, though they are relatively minor in scope. The biggest changes mainly impact the Units.

When is TFT Patch 14.2 going live?

Teamfight Tactics’ new patch will be released at the same time as League of Legends Patch 14.2 on January 24, 2024. As per usual, expect a brief period of server downtime before the patch goes live.

What’s changing in Patch 14.1?

Augment Adjustments

This patch has a smattering of changes, but one of the bigger tweaks has come to Augments. Riot has reworked Heartthrobs and changed the numbers around for Last Stand, Too Big to Fail, and Twin Terror.
