All New Items in Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.5
Patch 14.5 of Teamfight Tactics isn’t just a balance update — it’s a full-on item revolution. With a wave of new core items, several reworks, and some explosive new Artifacts, Riot is giving us the tools to forge brand-new comps and strategies when the patch goes live on May 28, 2025.
So let’s dive deep into the full list of all the new, updated, and removed items from TFT’s latest Cyber City patch — and what each means for your next climb.
When Patch 14.5 Goes Live
Set your clocks, captains — Patch 14.5 launches on May 28, bringing with it an extensive update to itemization, particularly aimed at aligning item identities with champion roles, scaling mechanics, and fantasy fulfillment.
Item Swaps: Out with the Old, In with the Reforged
Riot has completely replaced several classic items with brand-new ones that shift how you build and who you equip.
Redemption >>> Spirit Visage
New Stats:
-
+150 Health
-
+15 Mana
-
+10% Durability
-
Restores 2.5% missing HP per second
Why It Matters:
Redemption is no more. In its place, Spirit Visage offers sustained healing and durability, clearly meant for your frontline tanks. Think of it as an Anima Visage-lite, now accessible as a core item, not just an Artifact.
Runaan’s Hurricane >>> Kraken’s Fury
New Stats:
-
+25 AD
-
+10% Attack Speed
-
+20 Magic Resist
-
Attacks grant 3% stacking Attack Damage
Why It Matters:
Runaan’s niche functionality is gone. Kraken’s Fury is all about scaling, making it a perfect match for hyper-carries with high AS, like Jhin or Zeri. Plus, Riot has retired the Category Five augment to reflect Hurricane’s removal.
Statikk Shiv >>> Void Staff
New Stats:
-
+35% Ability Power
-
+15 Mana
-
+10% Attack Speed
-
Attacks shred 30% Magic Resist for 3 seconds
Why It Matters:
Statikk Shiv now shifts into Artifact territory, with its old effect separated from this new item that plays more like Last Whisper for AP champions. This makes Void Staff the go-to anti-MR option for casters like Ahri or Ziggs.
Item Reworks: A Deeper Look
Several popular items aren’t going away — but they’re changing how they work, sometimes dramatically.
Guinsoo’s Rageblade
Reworked Stats:
-
+10% AP
-
+10% AS
-
New Passive: Grants 6% stacking AS per second, not per attack
Why It Matters:
By moving away from on-hit stacking, Riot has curbed Rageblade’s hyper-scaling abuse while keeping it viable. It’s now a consistent ramp-up item — less exploitable, but still deadly.
Sterak’s Gage
Updated Stats:
-
HP: 150 → 250
-
AD: 15 → 30
-
Omnivamp: 10% added
-
Shield: At 60% HP, gain 80% max HP shield, decaying over 4 seconds
Why It Matters:
This is a massive buff. Sterak’s now plays like a “Fighter’s Edge of Night”, offering survivability at clutch moments, not just flat durability.
Guardbreaker >>> Striker’s Flail
New Stats:
-
+150 HP
-
+15% AS
-
+20% Crit Chance
-
+10% Damage Amp
-
Crits grant 5% Damage Amp (stacking 3 times)
Why It Matters:
Striker’s Flail now leans hard into crit synergy rather than being a weak anti-shield option. Pair it with your crit-based carries like Kai’Sa or Ezreal for maximum effect.
New Artifacts in Patch 14.5
The Artifact space is getting fresh life with four new powerful items, each serving a specific fantasy or niche.
Flickerblade
Stats:
-
+15% Attack Speed
-
+10 AD / +10 AP
-
Attacks grant 5% AS, every 5 attacks grant +4 AD and +5 AP
Why It Matters:
This is your new AP/AS carry staple. It ramps up both damage and speed, perfect for glass cannon duelists who want to go turbo.
Indomitable Gauntlet
Stats:
-
+450 HP
-
+20 Armor / MR
-
Drastically reduced Move Speed
-
Grants 10% max HP, stun immunity, and pulls enemies into melee
Why It Matters:
This is the tank Artifact. If you’re missing Anima Visage, this fills the gap with crowd-control immunity and dueling power, especially for solo frontline units.
Statikk Shiv (Artifact Version)
Stats:
-
+25 AP
-
+20% AS
-
Every 3rd attack deals 50 + 50% AP as magic damage to 4 enemies
Why It Matters:
Shiv lives on — but only for AP/AS carries. It no longer shreds MR, but the bounce damage is real. Think Ahri, Jinx, or anyone who wants to “go full Pikachu.”
Titanic Hydra
Stats:
-
+300 HP
-
+15 AD
-
+15 AS
-
Attacks deal 3% max HP + 25% AD as AoE damage
Why It Matters:
Hydra brings Runaan’s splash attack dream back, but now in Artifact form. This is ideal for Bruisers or AD carries with splash potential — like Warwick, Ambessa, or Jayce.
How These Changes Will Affect the Meta
-
AP carries now have more viable item paths (Void Staff, Artifact Shiv).
-
Bruisers get big boosts (Sterak’s, Hydra).
-
Tank itemization is cleaner and more impactful (Spirit Visage, Indomitable Gauntlet).
-
On-hit stacking is more balanced, making builds more flexible.
Radiant Versions Will Return
Every new core item will receive a Radiant variant, though those will remain a surprise until Patch 14.5 drops. Radiant Spirit Visage? Radiant Kraken’s Fury? Time will tell…
Why These Changes Matter for Competitive Play
With fewer niche items and more defined item identities, TFT 14.5 encourages more intentional comp building and more unique synergies. Expect this patch to shift tournament metas and push experimental comps forward.
Conclusion: Sharpen Your Strategy for Patch 14.5
Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.5 is a breath of fresh air for itemization. With core item swaps, tactical reworks, and creative Artifacts, Riot is giving us new tools to rethink how we build comps.
Whether you’re a seasoned Challenger or just climbing the Gold ladder, it’s time to relearn, reforge, and reassess — because this patch is more than balance. It’s a meta reset.
