TFT Patch 14.7 Overview
Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.7 is a competitive patch, with the primary focus on the Cyber City set as it takes the final step towards its competitive run, with Tactician’s Crown happening July 11-13, 2025. The patch also lands at the right time in Riot’s typical summer break, so we have extended the summer break. That’s 3 weeks until you see Patch 14.8, the final patch to Cyber City.
While this patch doesn’t have much sweeping changes, Riot Games made several important balance changes to fine-tune the meta for high-level play. Specifically, they have made significant changes to Double Up designed to reduce the power of three-star 4-cost units. Aside from competitive balance purposes, Patch 14.7 is also packed with quality-of-life changes and some other minor updates across the other game modes, such as Pengu’s Party and Revival: Remix Rumble.
Key System Changes
In patch 14.7, major system changes were added to get gameplay balancing in a better state and to improve more competitive player experience overall. One of the larger changes is that Radiant items now have a naming convention of “Radiant XXX”. This change allows players to better identify items in a more consistent manner.
In addition, Riot made a change to the item selection logic for the carousel stage 5+. If a player doesn’t pick an item, the game will try to provide a completed item over the highest-cost champion when possible. This encourages more deliberate item builds and minimizes roll-down randomness in acquiring items.
Major Trait and Augment Changes
In Patch 14.7 of TFT, you can expect a small set of major changes to traits and augments that help improve competitive balance and modify other aspects of gameplay that are less desirable. A few traits were changed to adjust power levels in ways that are meaningful, yet don’t create enormous structural changes.
- Riot Games lowered the base loss value of the Cypher trait across all tier levels, making it less punishing. From 16/20/24/28 to 13/18/23/28.
- Executor’s critical strike chance increased at higher levels, from 25/35/45/50% to 25/35/50/55%, making it much more lethal.
- The Exotech trait has a decrease to HP at the 7-unit threshold (300 to 270) and will gain a buff to its Holobow item, which will now give 15% AD.
- Nitro now gets a minor HP per stack increase, from 11 to 12.
- Vanguard had a minor decrease in shield damage, from 48% to 45%
You’ll also see some minor tuning of other augments to ensure a more balanced experience. However, the majority of this patch is just really focused on traits and champions.
- Riot Games disabled the well-loved Think Fast augment
- Likewise, they also disabled the Overclocked and Spare Parts augments.
- The Last Stand augment has been partially nerfed, reducing the permanent team health bonus from 200 to 150.
- At the same time, there’s been a buff on Luden’s Echo damage, increasing the range from (100-250) to (110-300).
- Reduced a little of Thorn Plated Armor’s healing from 35% to 30%.
