Announced a few weeks ago, Teamfight Tactics' new set — Galaxies — is bringing a complete overhaul of the game including new origins, new classes, new champions, and even new items.
Set to replace the Elemental Hexes, the new Galaxies mechanic was postponed to Patch 10.7 but it doesn't mean that the whole set will be too!
Tested on the PBE during all that time, Galaxies lands onto the Convergence with a heavy burden of knowledge but don't worry!
We prepared everything to make sure that you'll find your way out of this new expansion.
New Champions
The Mid-Season Update just landed onto the Convergence, removing nine champions and two traits to make room for tons of changes, including 14 new champions. Wondering how to theorycraft properly your compositions? We got you covered with this list of all champions.
New Classes and Origins
Two things are essential when it comes to Teamfight Tactics: origins and classes. With Galaxies, all these traits underwent a complete overhaul! We've put together a cheat sheet of origins synergies to help you in your quest to dominate the Convergence.

New Items
From nine basic items, Teamfight Tactics allows you to get 45 different combined items. Wondering how you can possibly remember all of them? We got you covered with our Galaxies items cheat sheet!
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.

- Shop cards art style has changed to closer match the in game model.
- Item combine rules: When units combine, items are placed on the combined unit in this priority: 1) Thiefs Gloves 2) Random full items 3) Random components.

IT'S HYPE-O-CLOCK!
