Update — September 12
Neeko's Help has been released with Patch 9.18. If you want to try the Sparring Gloves, brace yourselves because patch 9.19 is currently tested on the PBE!
Update — August 30
Breaking News! Sadly, while being happy about the Sparring Gloves and the eight new combined items that it brings, Riot decided to wait until Patch 9.19 to actually implement them into Teamfight Tactics. Stay tuned!
Original Article
Patch 9.18 will certainly be a milestone in the Teamfight Tactics meta. Eight new items are due to be introduced to the Convergence, while two of current items will be changed. Also in this patch, Infinity Edge gets a new recipe, while Sword of the Divine is replaced by the Last Whisper.
In the end, everything is the consequence of the implementation of a new component item: the Sparring Gloves.
Quick Summary
- 1 new item component
- 8 new items made from that component + Infinity Edge
- 1 Sword of the Divine removed
- 2 new items created from old Infinity Edge and Sword of the Divine recipes
- 1 new consumable item teased
Item Changed
Since Infinity Edge has a new recipe and Sword of the Divine has been removed, two new items have been added to replace them:
BF Sword + BF Sword
A champion holding Lord's Edge can't hold other items except temporary ones gained by this item. Lord's Edge cannot be given to a champion that already holds an item. On takedown, gain a BF Sword for the remainder of the round.
For those doing the math at home, yes a champion can hold three Lord’s Edges by the end of the round.
BF Sword + Recurve Bow
Attacks can't miss (removed from RFC btw) and deal True Damage equal to 5% of the target's maximum health.
