Patch 12.8 is not the Gizmos & Gadgets World Championship update, but it will hit live servers on April 27. The TFT Worlds patch is 12.7, and players who are eagerly awaiting Set Seven can expect it to drop via PBE on May 25. 

Patch 12.8 is the final Neon Nights meta balance patch, adjusting traits like Mutant and Syndicate while changing attack slow speed effects. And small changes were applied to three-star Set 6.5 four-cost champions, improving their power levels during the late game stages. The “for fun” updates for TFT Set 6.5 will take place during Patch 12.9 and 12.10. 

Here’s every big and small Neon Nights change TFT players can expect to drop in Patch 12.8, according to the Patch Rundown.
