TFT has just announced that it
will be coming to mobile

go live on March 18 when TFT’s third set finally hits live servers
for the first time. Below are some of the key points from the notes, taken directly from the

Ranked
- The Galaxies’ ranked season will start immediately with the launch of this patch.
- There is no longer any rank decay below Master.
- You also cannot decay out of Master. We hope you’ll keep trying for the top, but we don’t want TFT to feel like a daily obligation with a big penalty hammer attached.
System
- Passive Income by round (starting at round 1-2): 3 – 5 – 4 – 5 – 5 – 5… ⇒ 2 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 5 – 5.
- Removed the ability to sell Champions during the Carousel round.
- Streaks: 2-3 (1g), 4-6 (2g), 7+ (3g) ⇒ 2 (1g), 3 (2g), 4 (3g), 5+ (4g)
- Streak bonus gold is now paid during PvE rounds
- Champions are now more likely than just pure gold from all the levels of bonus boxes.
- Gold & Champion Medium boxes can’t drop in the first two rounds.
- Neeko’s help is ~35% less likely to drop from all boxes.

- Carousels now have MANY more possible combinations of items.

Galaxies Pass Information
