The latest Teamfight Tactics patch introduces a new Lunar event as well as nerfs to some of the games most overpowered units.
In what has been one of the best received seasons for Teamfight Tactics, Riot Games has made sure not to fix what is not broken. Therefore, the development team has only made minor adjustments with nerfs to fan-favorite champions. As well as introducing a new Lunar event called the Gifts of the Golden Lantern. Here is everything TFT fans need to know about patch 12.2.
New Lunar event highlights TFT patch 12.2
One of the more exciting introductions to patch 12.2 is the new Lunar event, Gifts of the Golden Lantern. Each year, fans from across the globe come together to celebrate the Lunar legends festival. Until February 15th, TFT players will get to take part in cool side events that will earn them special in-game items and rewards.
Each year, Tacticians from all over the Convergence come together to celebrate during the Lunar Legend Festival. From this patch to the end of patch 12.3 (Feb 15th), we’re invited to join them in a new TFT Event, Gifts of the Golden Lantern, where we’ll gather the perfect gift for each of our favorite Tacticians, help them solve riddles, and light lanterns—oh, and we’ll also get some gifts for ourselves along the way!
