Teamfight Tactics (TFT) patch 14.5 goes live later this month, but Riot Games has revealed some patch notes ahead of time. TFT patch 14.5 includes updates to several items. Here's what we know so far.

TFT patch 14.5 notes
TFT item swaps
There are three major item swaps in TFT patch 14.5. Redemption is getting replaced by Spirit Visage to cater to tank units and encourage greedier strategies. Meanwhile, Runaan's Hurricane is being swapped for Kraken's Fury to move away from its niche use toward a scaling AD item. As for Statikk Shiv, that's moving to the Artifact pool while Void Staff is taking its place as a core item for mana, AP, AS, and MR.

In terms of the item reworks in TFT patch 14.5, they're going to Guinsoo's Rageblade, Sterak's Gage, and Guardbreaker. Guinsoo's Rageblade is getting 6% stacking AS per second instead of per attack to make its scaling more consistent and less exploitable by units with high AS. Next, Sterak's Gage is getting omnivamp, increased health, AD, plus shield health that decays over four seconds. As for Guardbreaker, this item is getting renamed to Striker’s Flail. It's also going to get damage amplification based on critical strikes.
Artifacts in TFT patch 14.5
Finally, players can expect TFT patch 14.5 to include four new artifacts. While Flickerblade rewards stacking AS items, AD, and AP, Indomitable Gauntlet is a tanky option that grants stun immunity and pulls the target into melee range at the cost of move speed. As for Statikk Shiv, it's becoming a AP/AS carry item while Titanic Hydra deals damage based on maximum health and AD.
That's all for now. It should be noted that these patch notes may change in the public beta environment (PBE) and once the May 28 update goes live.
Therefore, we'll update you with the final details once they're available. Until then, stick around on esports.gg for more TFT news and updates.
