Teamfight Tactics patch 13.4 official notes

1) Cosmetics

Ahri’s Opulent Jewels

• Chance (2%) to contain Chibi Star Guardian Ahri with a guarantee of opening her at the 61st Jewel.
• All other Jewels contain previously released Little Legends, including a chance to have our newest Hushtail and Furyhorn variants!
• Available until patch 13.6 goes live!

Chibi Ahri

• Available for direct purchase for 1900 RP, Chibi Ahri comes with her signature boom, Ahri’s Orb of Deception.

New Little Legend Variants

• [Splashes of Starchaser Furyhorn (Epic) Blazing Star Furyhorn (Epic) Starcrossed Furyhorn (Epic) Dawnstar Furyhorn (Epic) Star Nemesis Furyhorn (Epic) in that order]
• Ever since Foxfire Hushtail met Chibi Ahri, accusations of who-stole-whose style have been tearing the Convergence apart. For 925 RP, you can pick up Foxfire Hushtail (Epic) or any of their other variants: Stardust Hushtail (Epic), Cloud Catcher Hushtail (Epic), Lovely Guardian Hushtail (Epic), Star Nemesis Hushtail (Epic)!
• [Splashes of Foxfire Hushtail (Epic) Stardust Hushtail (Epic) Cloud Catcher Hushtail (Epic) Lovely Guardian Hushtail (Epic) Star Nemesis Hushtail (Epic) in that order]

Starry Eyed Bundles

• The Brightest Star Megabundle is for players who’ve been truly charmed by Ahri. For 12145 RP it includes the following: 27 Ahri's Opulent Jewels, Chibi Ahri, and 4 Bonus Ahri's Opulent Jewels.
• The Celestial Guardian Bundle comes with its own exclusive emote and a Little Legend that just might be Chibi Ahri’s number one fan (or is it vice versa?). For 570 RP it includes: Starlight Spotlight Ahri Emote, Foxfire Hushtail, and a Bonus Ahri's Opulent Jewels.

2) System Changes

Player Damage

• [C] While we like the additional guaranteed player damage added in Stages 3+ at the start of Monsters Attack!, if you’re losing fights badly—and I mean really badly—we want to give a bit more cushion to help you survive.
• Losing a fight by 5 or more units now deals 1 less player damage

Componenet Anvils

• [C] We’re giving Component Anvils more choices to avoid the possibility you’re offered 3 components that just don’t make sense with your comp. Adding one more component option is a WAY bigger change than you might think. It is no longer possible to have all offerings be completely defensive, nor is it possible to get offered all Magic Damage components or Physical Damage components. In other words, you should almost always have a viable path forward with Component Anvils.
• Component Anvil number of choices 3 ⇒ 4

Early Game Gold Distribution

• [C] Having minions drop gold at the very end of the round has led to situations where you didn’t have the time to buy out your shop, or even pre-level. There’s no reason to have a weird APM (actions per minute) reflex test gating your ability to implement early game tactics.
• The final minion of a creep round will no longer drop the only gold you get that round. This will allow for a small amount of extra time to interact with the shop without increasing game lengths. This is a buff.
