After the disastrous debut of Set 9 on the test servers, TFT patch 13.12 marks the official arrival of this new set, with the addition of Ryze portals and legends. Let's take a look at all the changes in this update, which kicks off the new Runeterra Reforged season, which will run until December 2023.
In addition to the new TFT Set 9 Traits, the TFT patch 13.12 releaseallows players around the world to discover the new features of Set 9, including two important elements: Ryze portals and legends.
Portals are rules modifiers that make the game even more unique, while legends provide you with specific types of augments. To find out more about the effects of the 30 portals and the augments associated with the 15 legends, check out our detailed guide.
To limit access to legendary units, the experience levels required to reach levels 6, 7, 8 and 9 have been increased by 4 experience points. In addition, the basic damage inflicted on the tactician in phase 4 has been increased from 4 to 5, which should prevent players from abusing the series of defeats to climb quickly to level 9.
Note that this TFT patch 13.12 also modifies end-of-battle overtime, which now offer a movement speed bonus to units and multiply their attack damage by 1.5.
With the release of TFT patch 13.12, we also discover the new set of augments, with only 36 optimizations retained, plus the 240 TFT set 9 augments. Here are all the changes to the existing optimizations.

Due to the large number of shields in set 9, the damage boost of Guardbreaker has been reduced from 30 to 25, while Spear of Shojin now offers only 5 mana per attack instead of 20. We also note that the Elder Dragon now offers an item anvil instead of a random item.
