TFT Patch 17.6 introduces a new round of updates that shape how you approach your next matches. Riot Games has outlined the key adjustments, giving you a clear view of what changes affect the current set.
You can expect balance updates and targeted tweaks that influence comps, augments, and overall strategy. Reviewing the full patch notes helps you understand how the update impacts your decisions in game.
TFT patch 17.6 notes
Patch 17.6 keeps the current meta stable while trimming a few outliers. You see a focused adjustment to the Gnar reroll setup and a light economic hit to Meeple (7) to reduce how reliably that comp reaches Level 9. The update runs for three weeks, giving you more time to adapt before the next rotation.
Developers targeted Gnar’s consistency rather than removing the composition from play. Many players pushed levels after finding enough Gnars, then relied on Meeple’s economy rewards to finish upgrades. This patch reduces that reliability with a small nerf while keeping the strategy playable.
Key system adjustment
- Meeple (7): Reduced economic power to slow access to late-game leveling spikes.
Tier 1 Units
| Unit | Change |
|---|---|
| Twisted Fate | Min Ability AP: 190/285/430/730 → 205/305/460/800 |
| Max Ability AP: 380/570/860/1460 → 410/610/920/1565 |
Twisted Fate deals more damage at all ranks, increasing his early and mid-game carry potential.
Tier 2 Units
| Unit | Change |
|---|---|
| Gnar | Base AD: 50 → 48 |
| Mordekaiser | Initial Shield: 350/425/550 → 350/450/625 |
| Shield per Channel Tick: 75/90/105 → 75/100/115 |
Gnar loses a small amount of base attack damage, slightly lowering reroll efficiency. Mordekaiser gains stronger shielding, improving his frontline durability.
Tier 3 Units
| Unit | Change |
|---|---|
| Viktor | Ability Damage: 190/290/500 → 200/300/530 |
| Lulu (Altar) | Spell AP: 150/225/375 → 160/240/400 |
| Lulu (Serpent) | Spell AP: 140/210/335 → 150/225/360 |
You gain stronger mid-game scaling options through Viktor and Lulu, especially in AP-focused compositions.
Tier 4 Units
| Unit | Change |
|---|---|
| Aurelion Sol (Non-Mech) | Spell AP: 320/480 → 335/505 |
| Karma | Split Damage AP: 570/855 → 630/945 |
| LeBlanc | Passive AP: 62/93 → 66/99 |
| Sigil AP: 85/130 → 95/145 | |
| Morgana | Health Gain AP: 525/625 → 600/700 |
| Ally Heal AP: 100/150 → 125/185 | |
| Master Yi | Spell AD: 50/75 → 55/85 |
| Nami | Primary AP: 440/660 → 460/690 |
| Secondary AP: 110/165 → 125/185 |
Several four-cost carries receive moderate buffs, giving you more viable late-game pivots outside of Gnar-focused builds.
Tier 5 Units
- Shen now always gains his Attack Speed bonus after casting, even if he does not target himself.
- Shen’s self-buff no longer decays, while allies continue to receive a decaying version.
This change makes Shen’s performance more consistent in extended fights and improves his reliability as a capstone unit.

You gain stronger late-game scaling with Shepherd and more consistent value from Arbiter and N.O.V.A, while Meeple’s economy power drops to curb reroll dominance.
TFT Patch Updates: Augment Changes, Loot Singularity Tweaks, and More
Patch 17.6 shifts Augments away from narrow team-specific setups. You can expect more flexible choices that function across different compositions and lobby states, reducing the need to force a single strategy.
Several previously weak Thief’s Gloves–related Augments receive buffs, giving you stronger payoff when you commit to item randomness. At the same time, some top-performing options take hits to reduce their dominance:
- Birthday Reunion – toned down
- Expedition – reduced power
- Self-Destruct Gragas – nerfed
- Restart Mission – adjusted downward
Critical Success is now disabled. It often failed to generate consistent value and only spiked when you stacked early critical-strike items, which made it too situational to balance effectively.
Loot Singularity also receives a structured reward update. Several mid-tier cashouts between 17 and 20 are removed, and Matter breakpoints now grant different rewards:
| Matter | Old Reward | New Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | Reforger/Remover | Component |
| 70 | Component | Reforger/Remover + 1g |
| 150 | Lesser Duplicator | Component |
| 300 | Component | Lesser Duplicator + 1g |
The 16th cashout threshold increases from 555 to 777, and its reward now grants Ahri’s Aura, Varus’ Obsession, or Soraka’s Miracle plus three Removers.
Additional balance changes and fixes appear on Riot’s official patch page.
