Patch9.22
Quick Take4 changes

Teamfight Tactics 9.22 launched with the League of Legends 9.22 patch and started Set 2, Rise of the Elements.

  • New: Rise of the Elements added new Elemental Hexes, champions, origins, and classes, and expanded the board to four rows of seven hexes.
  • Updated: The champion pool shrank across all tiers and mana generation was reworked, with 1-star units now gaining a flat 8 mana per attack and damage-based mana cut by 15%.
  • Updated: Items got a large overhaul. Cursed Blade was removed, several spatula recipes changed, and stats shifted on Deathcap, Dragon's Claw, Giant's Slayer, Ionic Spark, and Luden's Echo.
  • Event: Ranked is off during 9.22 and returns in 9.23, with challenger and grandmaster slots trimmed in several regions.
