Festival of Beasts Revival: A Nostalgic Journey

The TFT patch 13.4 highlights will be their very own exciting and thrilling Festival of Beasts Revival. This resurrected the beloved mid-set from the Fates which is the fourth TFT set. With this, it’ll transport players to the Divine Serpent Realm Arena to relive the well-loved classic TFT mechanics. 

However, they’ll be adding a modern twist to this as well to make the experience unique and refreshing. So this event will let players cash out Fortune stacks as well as experience a fan-favorite set from before. All these seem to be a promising experience for both newcomers and veterans of the game. 

In this revival, there will be new Chibis and Little Legends that will give a spike of happiness in the game. This includes Chibi Mythmaker Zoe, Chibi Prestige Porcelain Ezreal, and the newest Little Legend Snek. Other than this, new exclusive cosmetics are underway as well for Lantern Snek and Chibi Seraphine.

Here’s everything that was changed after the TFT patch 13.4 release:

  • Reduced Urgot’s armor/magic resistance.

New Anomalies and Items

A new meta might come in after TFT patch 13.4 since Riot introduced nine new Anomalies in play. These will bring in crucial improvement effects to mobility or damage of champions used by players. Key Anomalies added in the latest TFT patch 13.4 are these items:

  • Brutal Claws: Increases critical strike chance and bleeding damage.
  • Cybernetic Empowerment: Grants attack speed based on team components.
  • Hivemind: Allows champions to duplicate killed units.

Aside from these new anomalies, they also gave Radiant items buffed so it’ll be used often to increase ability power. These can also amplify damages and cause improvement across multiple items equipped. 

Technical Updates and Bug Fixes

Good thing, TFT patch 13.4 worked on solving some of the technical issues that emerged in some devices. They updated the graphics API change for macOS users since Riot is planning a transition. Teamfight Tactics seems to move from OpenGL to a Metal graphics technology for game stability and performance.
