Mid-Set Details for TFT Galaxies Revealed

In an interview with Riot Developers, InvenGlobal have gotten the details for the Mid-Set expansion of TFT Galaxies. They will be adding 14 new champions, taking away 9 champions and adding three new traits. They claimed the subtraction was because they were adding so many new champions and they didn’t want the expansion to feel “bloated”. As a reminder, these will be coming with Patch 10.12 which will be out in early June. Here is a quick look at what is being added and what is being taken away.

Subtracted Champions

• Kha’Zix
• Cho’Gath
• Vel’Koz
• Kayle
• Miss Fortune
• Kai’Sa
• Sona
• Kassadin
• Lux

Added Traits

• Battlecast
  • Upon dealing or taking 10 instances of damage, trigger a bonus effect based on their current health. If they’re above half health, they deal 75/150/225 magic damage to the nearest enemy. If they’re below half health, they heal for 75/150/225 instead. They have bonuses at two, four, and six units.
• Astro
  • A three-unit trait that reduces only the mana cost of Astro champions’ spells by 30.
• Paragon
  • A trait until to Janna and it converts all of your team’s (potentially all Star Guardian only) basic attacks to magic damage (opposed to physical).

Subtracted Traits

• Void
• Valkyrie

There is quite a bit to process here. With these new parts being added and old ones being subtracted and showing up on the PBE in a couple days, the next question will be, what will the meta look like? Many will be wondering about the loss of Valkyrie and Void as they are currently a major part of the meta. As is Kassadin and Rebels have relied on Sona for healing for quite some time. Urgot looks horrifying and surely Janna will be fun to play. Also finally getting Teemo in the game is great, but at what cost? It will be interesting to say the least.
