Riot Games has published the notes for Teamfight Tactics patch 18.3, the third update to the auto-battler's Set 18: Enchanted Wilds. The patch is scheduled to go live on September 23, according to the update schedule Esports.gg cited in its rundown of the notes on Tuesday.
Rodger "Riot Prism" Caudill and Katie "Riot Ukime" Guo described 18.3 as a medium-sized update, one whose main job is carrying compositions that have been tested on the public beta environment across to the live game. Alongside that, the patch buffs a set of combat augments, nerfs several Wisps, and works through a list of gameplay and performance fixes.
Nine champions buffed, three nerfed
Karma, Alistar, Gromp, Murkwolf, Warwick, Cassiopeia, Rammus, Azir and Lux are all being buffed. Ornn, Veigar and Nidalee are being nerfed.
The numbers behind those labels are mixed rather than uniform. Karma's explosion damage rises across every star level, and Alistar's heal and ability damage both go up. Veigar is a trade rather than a straight cut: his ability damage climbs at most star levels while the ability power he gains per kill drops from 3% to 2%. Ornn loses the most on paper, with his three-star Forge Power bonus reduced from +100% to +85%, though his second artifact threshold also falls from 155,000 Forge Power to 140,000.
Trait and cosmetic changes
Five traits are being adjusted: Blossom, Hunter, Defender, Invoker and Inferno. Hunter's bonus attack damage comes down at its upper breakpoints, Invoker's mana regeneration is trimmed at its top tier, Inferno's burn is reduced, and Defender's highest-tier resistances drop slightly. The Blossom Charms list is the longest single section of the notes, with several charms costing more gold, paying out less, or both.
Riot is also converting cosmetics into the set as it goes. Esports.gg reported that 34 converted cosmetics arrive with patch 18.3, with a further 42 slated for patch 18.4. The full notes, including the per-unit numbers for every tier, were published by Riot Games.
