No major system changes were implemented and the only evergreen Augment to receive a balance change was Scoped Weapons, increasing the attack speed from 10 to 12 percent. Both the Hacker and Ox Force TFT Set 8.5 traits received a rework and the Lucian reroll comp was toned down through Blitzcrank and Lucian nerfs.\u00a0\u00a0 Related: TFT Set 8.5 cheat sheet for Glitched Out!: All traits and breakpoint stats Here's every TFT Set 8.5 balance change from the Patch 13.8 notes, according to Riot.\u00a0 Patch 13.8 TFT trait balance changes Two big changes were applied to TFT Set 8.5 traits through Patch 13.8: Ox Force was reworked and the Hacker trait had its Omnivamp slashed. Both traits have been causing frustrating moments, from a Hacker rider destroying an entire backline to units that live longer than they should.\u00a0 Ace: The trait will now require damage being dealt to execute Hacker: Omnivamp nerfed from 30\/40\/50 to 10\/20\/40 percent Hacker: Rider Omnivamp nerfed from 10\/20\/30 to 0\/15\/30 percent Hacker: Rework\u2014The Hacker rider unit will target the closest enemy as opposed to preferring the back row Heart: AP per cost adjusted from 4\/7\/10 to 4\/7\/11 InfiniTeam: Damage and health of alternate version adjusted from 50\/60\/95 to 50\/55\/85 percent Ox Force: Rework\u2014Ox Force units gain bonus defenses. Once per combat, when they would drop below one HP, they instead shield themselves for 50% of their maximum health for 1.5 seconds. Ox Force: Armor and magic resistance nerfed from 10\/40\/90 to 5\/35\/75 Underground: Tome of Traits will no longer drop from a Heist four or higher Patch 13.8 TFT champion balance changes A large number of one-cost TFT Set 8.5 units were adjusted through Patch 13.8, toning down the Lucian reroll comp. Blitzcrank and Lucian were both nerfed while Lux and Nasus were buffed.\u00a0No changes were applied to any five-cost champions. Related: All TFT Set 8.5 champions and Hero Augments: Updated abilities and stats One-cost Blitzcrank: Static Defenses damage reduction nerfed from 55\/60\/65 to 50\/52\/55 percent Gangplank: Armor and magic resistance increased from 30 to 35 Gangplank: Trial by Fire damage buffed from 230\/345\/515 to 240\/360\/540 Kayle: A Starfire Spellblade cast will no longer lock Kayle out of attacking for a brief period Lucian: Chrono-Barrage spell damage nerfed from 45\/70\/105 to 40\/60\/90 Lux: Lucent Singularity spell damage buffed from 220\/330\/500 to 230\/345\/520 Nasus: Health increased from 650 to 700\u00a0 Nasus: Armor and magic resistance increased from 40 to 45 Nasus: Spell attack damage ratio increased from 200 to 225 percent Two-cost Jinx: Attack damage buffed from 50 to 55 Jinx: Maximum mana buffed from 20\/80 to 0\/65 Three-cost Gnar: Attack damage reduced from 65 to 60 Kai'Sa: Sttarcharged spell damage nerfed from 150\/225\/375 to 135\/205\/335 Rammus: Sand Slam spell stun duration increased from 1.25 to 1.5 seconds Shen: Stand United spell duration adjusted from 3.5\/4\/5 to 4\/4\/4 seconds Shen: Stand United spell damage reduction reduced from 45\/50\/55 to 40\/45\/50 percent Four-cost Bel'Veth: Endless Banquet spell bonus attack speed per cast increased from 25 to 30 percent Patch 13.8 TFT Hero Augment balance changes Underperforming TFT Set 8.5 Hero Augments were the focus in Patch 13.8. Augments like LeBlanc's Mirror Image and Wukong's Cyclone were buffed. Both of Pantheon's Hero Augments were nerfed, along with Lucian's support Augment.\u00a0 Related: How TFT Set 8\/8.5 Augments work Lucian Enchanted Ammunition (support): AP per auto attack reduced from two to one Pantheon The Best Offense (carry): Ability power reduced from 50 to 40 Pantheon Chronic Hallucinations (support): Damage reduction reduced from 70 to 60 percent\u00a0 Renekton Reign of Anger (carry): Attack speed per missing 100 health increased from four to five percent Wukong Cyclone (carry): Ability power increased from 10 to 18 Ezreal Rising Spell Force (carry): Bugfix\u2014Stacks will correctly get granted when Parallel is active Lee Sin Cleansing Safeguard (carry): Missing health healing increased from 10 to 15 percent LeBlanc Mirror Image (support): Clone health increased from 75 to 99 percent Rammus Armored-dillo (support): Armor increased from 35 to 40 Shen Recursion Matrix (support): Base damage reduction reduced from eight to seven percent Vayne Spread Shot (carry): Nearby enemy damage reduced from 50 to 44 percent Vex Joy Siphon (carry): Ally healing increased from 22 to 30 percent Ekko Destructive Resonance (carry): Range increased from two to three Hexes Ekko Destructive Resonance (carry): Damage amplification reduced from 250 to 200 percent Leona Perfected Solar Flare (carry): Mana reduction and ability power increased from 30 to 40 Urgot Rising Tide (support): Bonus attack speed increased from 40 to 50 percent Patch 13.8 TFT bug fixes A bug that tailored Hero Augments off the currently active board has been resolved and will now base options off the previous combat's board.
