TFT patch 12.22 notes: Double Treasure Dragon, mega tank buffs

TFT patch 12.22 ⁠— the final update for Dragonlands ⁠— is now here. Riot lets their hair down for these last patches, and this is no exception. The developers are sending Set 7 out with a bang by adding a second Treasure Dragon, buffing tanks, and more.

It’s time to say goodbye to the Dragonlands and welcome to the Spatulopolis as Teamfight Tactics transitions from Set 7 to Set 8. TFT patch 12.22 is the sendoff for the mythical expansion as the game moves into a new superhero-inspired frontier.

Riot does like to shake things up for the final update of each set though, and TFT Set 7 is no different. The last patch will include some shenanigans, including a second Treasure Dragon round, mega tank buffs to both damage and resistances, and some chase trait changes.

Here’s everything you need to know about TFT patch 12.22 as it goes live on November 16, 2022.

What’s changed in TFT patch 12.22?

Second Treasure Dragon added at wolves

What could be better than one Treasure Dragon? Multiple. After the mechanic opened up plenty of player agency, Riot is doubling the fun with a second Treasure Dragon to replace the wolves PvE round at Stage 3-7.

Players will be offered one of either the regular, Order, or Chaos Dragons. It can vary from the one typically offered at Stage 4-7, or be the same ⁠— there’s no real rules. 

To compensate for the increased amount of chosen items from these PvE rounds though, players will get fewer items from orbs across the game.

Tanks get big buffs, Riot cranks up chase traits

Riot isn’t trying to blow up the TFT meta for the final patch. However as Dragons continue to decimate ranked games, the developers are giving the regular units something to fight back with. If you’re a big fan of beefy frontlines, it’s extra good news.

TFT patch 12.22 includes a swathe of tank buffs. Every frontline unit in the game is basically getting adjusted, whether it be bonus damage, reduced mana, or increased tankiness. This is on top of some reroll carry buffs for Lillia, Volibear, and even Zeri and Sylas.
