The Draconic trait is getting buffed for value within TFT Patch 11.20, scheduled to release on Oct. 6. Eggs are getting an increase in gold and a new turn five Draconic egg with a 20 percent chance will contain one Force of Nature, two item components, and three Heimerdingers. System changes will include buffs to Radiant Armory and Blessings, while overperforming one-cost champions are getting nerfed at three-star.  

From chasing Abomination and Draconic to Yasuo and Kled nerfs, here’s every TFT Patch 11.20 balance change revealed during the Patch Rundown. 

Big 11.20 changes

The Sentinel and Forgotten traits will receive nerfs to make room for alternative strategies, while Abomination and Draconic will get a buff. Yasuo will see a small nerf in attack speed from 0.9 to 0.85. And the TFT balance team will take a final shot at making the Skirmisher trait worth pursuing into the late game.

  • Abomination: Attack damage per level increased to 7/9/11.

Small 11.20 changes

The Spellweaver and Hellion traits are scheduled to get nerfed in TFT Patch 11.20, along with a number of one-cost three-star champions. Draven will get a small buff to his attack damage and players who hit a three-star Viego are in for a treat with the Set 5.5 champion being “very powerful,” according to the Patch Rundown. Radiant Quicksilver will also receive a buff that increases its attack speed from 40 to 45 percent.

System changes

System changes in TFT Patch 11.20 will introduce a second Radiant Armory at Stage 5-1 and during Stage 7-3 in Hyper Roll. The patch will also add several new Radiant Blessing drops and boost the chance to hit a “rare” drop to 18 percent, up from 10.

  • Eight item components at a 0.54 percent chance.
  • A total of three Force of Nature at 0.18 percent chance.
