Teamfight Tactics Patch Notes — Set 18: Enchanted Wilds
TFT Patch 18.1 launches Set 18: Enchanted Wilds with the Wisps mechanic, new traits, and an Unreal Engine move. Full Enchanted Wilds changelog.
When is the next update?
Teamfight Tactics rolls to its next season around January 6, 2027.
Patch 18.1 — August 26, 20266 changes
The Teamfight Tactics Patch 18.1 patch notes launch Set 18: Enchanted Wilds, TFT’s first set built on Unreal Engine after moving off the shared Hextech engine, introducing the Wisps mechanic and new traits like Blossom and Riftbeast. Track the live Teamfight Tactics season countdown through Enchanted Wilds.
TL;DR — 5 changes: 1 buff, 1 nerf. Biggest buff: Dawncore’s AD/AP scaling (15 → 20). Biggest nerf: Statikk Shiv’s base damage and AP scaling turned down as its bounce count rises. Meta impact: the set reset scrambles the meta entirely — Blossom’s Wisp synergy and the new Riftbeast jungle-monster champions are the early comps to watch.
Traits
- Blossom — new Wisp-focused trait; champions gain Attack Damage, Ability Power and max Health while empowering Wisps after combat active
- Riftbeast — jungle monsters become playable champions for the first time; the Elder Dragon takes two board slots while counting as two Riftbeasts active
Items
- Dawncore — AD/AP 15 → 20 buff
- Statikk Shiv — Lightning bounces 4 → 6, Base Damage 30 → 15, AP Lightning Damage 50% → 35% nerf
Mechanics
- Wisps — new single-use shop denizens across seven categories (Champion, Combat, Misc, Shop, Gold/XP, Risky, Item); buyable once per planning phase and revealed after it ends active
- Engine transition — TFT moves from the shared Hextech engine to Unreal Engine; expect longer loading times and more bugs at launch while performance parity is restored active
