TFT patch 12.11 notes: Dragonlands release, all Set 7 details

TFT patch 12.11 is here, and Riot is welcoming you to the Dragonlands. TFT Set 7 is launching on this update with a new roster of champions and traits, the new Dragon mechanic, and big system changes to Augments. Here’s the patch notes

Six months is up, and that means TFT patch 12.11 is bringing in a new set in the League of Legends autobattler. Players are saying goodbye to Gizmos & Gadgets as they dive back in time to the Dragonlands in TFT Set 7.

The update is a big one ⁠— it’s basically an entirely new game ⁠— so let’s dive right into all the changes coming in TFT patch 12.11, including the full patch notes and the release date.

What’s changing in TFT patch 12.11?

TFT Patch 12.11 micropatch sees minor nerfs to Nami, Sylas, and Varus

With Astral currently sitting as one of the most popular traits in the Dragonlands expansion, TFT Lead Designer Stephen ‘Mortdog’ Mortimer previewed a few small nerfs to the comp’s most potent units on June 10.

The nerf sees a bugfix to Sylas’s kit that no longer allows him to gain mana while his shield is up, and reductions to Nami and Varus’s damage outputs. According to Mortdog, one of the key issues with the Astral composition was that Nami was too good at both healing and damage – with the nerfs designed to push her towards purely healing.

TFT Set 7, Dragonlands, launches with new roster of champions and traits

Be gone Hextech, it’s time to venture into the Dragonlands. TFT Set 7 is taking the Convergence back in time with a new roster of champions and traits ⁠— and obviously dragons.

The 58 units that make up the roster in TFT Set 7 comprise 51 champions and seven Dragons, each representing one region of the Dragonlands. Dragons are ultra-powerful units that take up two board slots but have turbo-charged abilities and grant triple trait value.

Draconic Augments replaces Hextech Augments

The Dragonic Augments launching as part of TFT Set 7 are worth their own individual section breaking down the patch notes because of the sheer number of changes. While a handful have survived the Convergence time travel, there’s more than 100 new Augments to choose from.

Riot has switched up the Augment armory timing too to 2-1, 3-2, and 4-2, meaning you won’t have to decide on your first Augment before Stage 1 neutrals finish, and you’ll have an earlier comeback change in Stage 4.

You can read up on all the new Augments launching in TFT Set 7 here.

Reinforcements

• Reinforcements: Units now retain their Health, Mana, item and positive buff statuses when reinforcing

• Stage 5-1: Rune of Allegiance
• Attempting to open an orb containing a champion given via any Rune of Allegiance when your bench is full will now always result in the orb not opening instead of placing the unit on the board. This should help cases where a unit was sent at the last minute and accidentally gets sold due to a full bench and combat starting.

Carousel

• The order that players are released during Shared Draft is different.
• Players are still released in pairs, but the pairs released now have members of different teams. The partner who is positioned lower on the scoreboard is the first one released on a team.
• The release order of players is as follows, with one member of each listed team being released at a time: first to release are 4th and 3rd, followed by 2nd and 1st, then 4th and 3rd, and finally 2nd and 1st

• The Treasure Dragon replaces Raptors on stage 4-7. Read more about it here.
• Gold coins earned from PVE rounds are now automatically collected at the end of combat. Get that money gamer.

Hyper Roll

• Income: Passive gold income has been increased starting at round 5-2 to account for the increased Dragon costs.
• Player Damage: Health loss during Stage 5 has been decreased from 4 to 2.
• Round Changes: The Treasure Dragon occurs at Round 7-2, and the third Augment choice has moved from 7-2 to 7-1 to accommodate this.

• Trainer: Trainers throw twice as many Snax.
