Riot Games is reworking the Teamfight Tactics Piltover trait through Patch 13.15, which is scheduled to go live on Aug. 2, changing how T-Hex impacts the board state while also adjusting the loot tables.
Starting on Aug. 2, through TFT Set Nine Patch 13.15, players will no longer sell their T-Hex when playing the Piltover trait. The rework is intended to simplify player decisions and choices during the late-game stages, according to game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. Instead of having to choose between the T-Hex’s power or loot, players will now get both through the reworked Piltover TFT Set Nine trait.
All TFT Piltover changes from Patch 13.15
To compensate for a T-Hex that can’t get sold anymore, the TFT balance team dropped the overall power levels of the summoned unit. But a significant loss-streak will put much of that power back into T-Hex, while a small loss-streak rewards more loot than power. In response to the loot changes, a new loot table will go into effect when Patch 13.15 goes live.
T-Hex balance changes
- Charges item will now display the estimated loot value from a victory.
- The Progress item will no longer estimate loot value since T-Hex can no longer get sold.
- Base armor and magic resistance increased from 15 to 25.
- Armor and magic resistance Power decreased from two to one.
- Health per Power reduced from 65 to 45.
- 20 Power breakpoint increases T-Hex to two-star and unlocks Hextech Breath.
- 40 Power breakpoint advances T-Hex to three-star.
- 80 Power breakpoint advances T-Hex to four-star.
- Star levels are purely visual indicators so you can estimate the T-Hex’s strength. Stats are based on the T-Hex’s current Power.
Winning a round going forward will provide only loot and no Charges to T-Hex. Losing consistently is the only way to build up your T-Hex’s power and increase your loot options. If a player wins a combat round with no Charges, they are rewarded one gold.
It’s unknown at time of writing if the Piltover trait will survive the Mid-Set update. These changes, however, should improve the trait’s overall gameplay for the remainder of TFT Set Nine.
