The new Tier 3 boots in League of Legends is not the same enchantments in 2016 – they’re even better.
League of Legends Season One is coming in hot! The Summoner's Rift is heading to Noxus, and with it comes new, Noxus-themed Tier 3 boots. Check out the new boots for LoL S1 here.
These go live on League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1.
Tier 3 boots are back in LoL Season 1
LoL Season 1 is bringing in a lot of changes to Summoner's Rift. Atakhan, the new Epic Monster, Nexus Turrets respawning, and completely new mechanics are set to take over the map, but the gameplay changes don't stop there. Tier 3 boots is making its return since 2016 (kind of).
These Tier 3 boots are completely new items, instead of the old enchantments that seasoned players are familiar with. These are enhanced and upgraded version of their tier 2 counterparts.
The big clincher is that only one team have the ability to buy these boots per game as it requires winning Feats of Strength.
On top of these new boots, simply winning the Feats of Strength grants you access to Triumphant Boots, a small, free upgrade to your Tier 2 boots. The upgrades are as follows:
- Triumphant Berserker's Greaves: +5% Attack Speed
- Triumphant Ionian Boots of Lucidity: +5 Haste
- Triumphant Sorcerer's Shoes: +4 Magic Penetration
- Triumphant Plated Steelcaps: +5 Armor
- Triumphant Mercury's Treads: +5 Magic Resistance
- Triumphant Boots of Swiftness: +5 Movement Speed
- Triumphant Synchronized Souls: +5 Movement Speed
Cassiopeia
Since Cassiopeia cannot purchase boots, her passive gains an upgrade instead when her team wins Feats.
- Triumphant Serpentine Grace: 4 movement speed per level >>> 6 movement speed per level.
- At level 18, she gets a total of 108 movement speed, compared to the 72 with her base passive. This is a 36 movespeed increase.
Now, onto the actual Tier 3 boots. To get them, your team must have won Feats of Strength and own at least two Legendary items. The bonuses stated are applied after the Triumphant upgrades above.
