Blaming the Star Guardians for abandoning her to die, she has taken a bitter, personal stand against them, even as doubts begin to creep in...

"The Star Guardians. I was going to deal with them later, but oh well."

New model and textures: Star Guardian Xayah dons her new uniform. When she uses her Featherstorm (R), she expels the corruption in her and briefly returns to her original form.

New VFX: Careful with these stars, they hurt more than they twinkle. The aggression behind using her Deadly Plumage (W) also seems to bring out a darker side to her...

New SFX and VO lines: What does a vengeful, moody star sound like? I guess something like this.

New animations and rig: She touches her lover’s gem, which momentarily cleanses herself of Star Guardian Zoe’s corruption during her new Recall (B). Star Guardian Xayah is slated as a Legendary skin priced at 1820 RP (subject to change) and is now available on PBE! We always love hearing your feedback and feelings! All bug reports and thoughts help us make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming!

Thanks, cuties! <3"

New VFX: If you enter her Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E), falling asleep is probably the least of your worries.

New SFX and VO lines: The sweet sound of sinister… and of your doom.

TFT Changes Check out these details on TFT changes this cycle:



TFT Update: Powerful Punch-Ups Tummers and Riot Beernana

"Sparring Gloves have magically appeared in the Convergence like mana from heaven (or RNG from minions) to provide you and your team with all of your critical strike and dodging needs. These gloves combine with all existing item components to make eight new items and a reworked Infinity Edge. Sword of the Divine has been removed; its recipe and Infinity Edge's one now create two more new items. They'll all join the roster with patch 9.18. TL;DR:

1 new item component

8 new items made from that component + Infinity Edge

1 Sword of the Divine removed

2 new items created from old Infinity Edge and Sword of the Divine recipes Here are the details: Sparring Gloves

+10% Dodge chance - "Float like a butterfly"



+10% Crit chance - "Sting like a bee"



We didn't want to disrupt the balance of offensive and defensive options, so we made Sparring Gloves capable of either: If the finished item is offensive in nature, the statline shifts to +20% Crit, if it is defensive, it shifts to +20% Dodge. Thief's Gloves

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Sparring Gloves



A champion holding Thief's Gloves can't hold other items except temporary ones gained by this item. Thief's Gloves cannot be given to a champion that already holds an item. On round start, gain two temporary items. Their quality is based on your player level.



For those that like items with their items. Hand of Justice

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Tear of the Goddess



At the beginning of the planning phase, the wearer randomly gains either 40% increased damage or 40 life on hit until end of round.



For those that aren't great with decisions. Infinity Edge

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + BF Sword



Crits deal 200% more damage.



When you want to crit, but like....even more so. Arcane Gauntlet

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Needlessly Large Rod



Your abilities can critically strike.



When your ASol dreams of being Draven. Quicksilver

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Negatron Cloak



Prevents the next crowd control effect applied to the wearer. Refreshes every 5 seconds.



Can’t touch this, ba na na na. Iceborne Gauntlet

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Chain Vest



On dodge, create an expandable 30% attack speed slow zone.



Just how expandable? No one knows. Backhand

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Giant's Belt



The wearer starts combat with a spell shield. Stun the enemy that breaks the shield for a long time.



An eye for an eye, in item form. Repeating Crossbow

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Recurve Bow



When the wearer dies, Repeating Crossbow passes to a new ally and they gain an additional 20% Crit chance and 20% Attack Speed. This stacks with each pass of the item.



YOU get a Repeating Crossbow, YOU get a Repeating Crossbow, YOU get a Repeating Crossbow!!!!!!!!!

Mittens

Recipe: Sparring Gloves + Golden Spatula



Extra 10% Crit chance and 10% Dodge chance. Wearer is also a Yordle



Tastes purple. Since Infinity Edge has a new recipe and Sword of the Divine has been removed, we’ve added two more new items in their place: Lord's Edge

Recipe: BF Sword + BF Sword



A champion holding Lord's Edge can't hold other items except temporary ones gained by this item. Lord's Edge cannot be given to a champion that already holds an item. On takedown, gain a BF Sword for the remainder of the round.



For those doing the math at home, yes a champion can hold three Lord’s Edges by the end of the round. Last Whisper

Recipe: BF Sword + Recurve Bow



Attacks can't miss (removed from RFC btw) and deal True Damage equal to 5% of the target's maximum health



*Cries in Yordle* Oh, and one other thing: Another new item can drop, but this one's a little different. Neeko's Help is a consumable item that you can place on a champion. When you do, Neeko's Help is consumed and a 1 star copy of the champion is instantly made and added to your bench. If your bench is full, Neeko will just pop right back off, so no tricky business! Use Neeko to complete a 3 star champion, or to quickly clone a powerful Legendary champ. The choice is yours!"

Here'sand with details on new TFT Items now testing on the PBE:

TFT - New Item Distribution System

Mortdog on the item distribution system:

"Hey folks, Mort here to talk about an exciting change coming to Teamfight Tactics. The item system is a key part of the game that creates a ton of cool decision points and exciting moments. But we’ve also heard your feedback that how we distribute items over the course of the game is not as good as it could be. In past communications we’ve been clear we’re not going to just give everyone the same amount of items as that leads to a flat and repetitive experience where you know exactly what to expect every game. We want there to be multiple paths to victory in TFT and one of the ways we want to do that is by keeping the item system variable. However, we’ve taken a look at how we can make improvements and have some exciting stuff coming to PBE. What is changing? First off, you'll notice that instead of just one type of box, there are now Common, Uncommon, and Shiny Rare boxes that can drop, each with their own distinct loot tables. Now when you get a higher quality box, you can get excited about what’s inside, and have a bit more expectations about what outcomes are possible. Additionally, there are new drop possibilities. Items and gold can still drop just like before, but we’ve also added Champions and "Neeko's Help" (name pending). Champions that drop from the boxes will be added directly to your bench. (Note: If your bench is full, the units are just directly converted to gold instead. No tricky business with the bench and board!) We’re hoping that getting champs will pull you into unique build paths. And if not, you can simply sell them. Lastly, a new consumable item “Neeko’s Help” can also drop. This item allows you to make a 1 copy of any unit which then consumes the item. This should make your dreams of getting that 3 champion just a little easier. Now I already know what you’re thinking. “This sounds like a bunch of RNG!” Well it is and it isn’t. Behind the scenes we’ve done a LOT to control how we distribute the boxes, as well as what’s inside the boxes. Our goal is that games have a lot of variation, but that they also have some degree of fairness to them. So the amount of boxes are much more controlled across the entire game. The difference between the best and worst cases is now much more narrow than before. For example, on live after first three PVE rounds you can get 9 gold & 0 items, 3 gold & 1 item, all the way up to 6 items. It’s a pretty wide spread. In the new system, after the first three PVE rounds every player is guaranteed at least 2 Uncommon boxes, then 1-3 additional boxes. In addition, the total number of boxes and items across the entire game is much more controlled. If you start off slow, there are more boxes and items coming. We also prevent the most extreme and wacky cases (no gold boxes before stage 2-6, no more than 3 gold boxes per person max, etc). There are a ton of tuning levers and controls in here to try to keep things fair and competitive, while also being varied and exciting. This also makes it easier for us in the future to make adjustments if our first values aren’t correct. Why is it changing? Again, we think variety is important to the long term health of the game. One of the things that keeps Teamfight Tactics replayable is that every game is different and you experience new and exciting combinations. That being said, we need to achieve that goal in a way that feels fair and fun for everyone. We’re hoping this is a big step in that direction. With even more possible combinations, the variety should increase. But this way it’s more fair across the length of the game. No more 1 item 3 gold into 5 gold starts while your opponent has 6 items. Now you may get 2 items, a Kennen, and a Neeko to start, while your opponent gets 3 items and 2 gold. There are lots of unique possibilities and you can use them to your advantage to succeed. An early 2 star Kennen could for sure outperform 1 more item. The possibilities and paths to victory should be numerous now. We think that’s better for the game, and frankly more fun! This is also why we’re talking about it now. If you have a PBE account give it a try, then let us know what you think (I know it’s tempting to assume without trying it). If we're wrong, and it feels worse, then we won’t ship it. We’re committed to making TFT as fun and high quality as possible, and we think this does it, but we’re not too proud to admit if we’re wrong. When do we expect the changes to go through? If all goes well, and the change is feeling good, we’re hoping to ship it as part of our very large 9.18 patch. It will go out with the new item component, as well as some changes to the XP curve to make up for the slightly inflated rewards. This will be our biggest patch of the set, and should really shake things up for the better. Again, looking forward to all your feedback, and I hope you keep enjoying TFT as much as I enjoy working on it."

Eternals Feedback Thread: Set 1 Uniques Xenogenic with a

"Hey folks! I am Xenogenic, the Game Design Lead for the team that makes skins, events, and new content like Eternals. After announcing Eternals a few weeks ago, we’ve been having ongoing conversations with players to gather feedback and make improvements while we continue working on them. One of our changes to the feature is to build sets of 3 Eternals that are unique to each champion, capturing things directly related to their specific abilities or gameplay patterns, and not include common stats like Kills, Damage Dealt, etc. What we’d like to do now is list our proposals for each champion for the first set so you can give us feedback on what you like or don’t like, as well as make suggestions for ideas for things we should track in the future! A couple of quick notes before the list:

Some players want very skill-expressive trackers, while others want trackers that are more accessible and will grow large over time. So to that end, we’ve tried to include some of both for each champion and will likely continue that trend into the future. Be sure to let us know which type of Eternal you prefer, though.

This is a rough draft type list, so there is some level of short-hand.

For example, sometimes we may say “enemies” which really means “enemy champions,” not minions or monsters.

Multi-hits means 2+ (or more) targets hit in a single cast of a spell.

“Long range” casts of spells mean more than 75% of their max range, unless otherwise specified.

Damage dealt, damage absorbed, damage dealt to, etc. refer to damage to/from champions, unless otherwise specified.

We want Eternals that track high moments and successes without being gameplay warping, by which we mean: Eternals should not be asking you to do things that you don’t want to do or shouldn’t be doing (i.e. kills as support, casting spells specifically on yourself instead of allies or vice versa, etc.). If any of these feel warping to you, please call them out and explain why!

When Eternals are fully “rekindled,” meaning all 5 milestones they track have been reached, they start tracking your personal best within each game. Keep that in mind for stones that might seem basic on the surface. Many of them become more interesting when tracking the highest/best amount you’ve done in a single game. Here are our proposals for Set 1:
