Teamfight Tactics Fates 2 New & Leaving Champions

Teamfight Tactics second half, Fates 2 is coming soon and this means that there will be new champions joining the roster and some will inevitably leave. Riot Games has posted a long article on all the changes. The notes below show all new, changing and leaving champions when the new set arrives.

Teamfight Tactics Fates 2 Leaving Champions

Out with the old, in with the new. For the mid-set update, we’re shaking things up by removing a handful of champions to make room for new ones. So, what’s leaving us?

• Moonlight – The moon wanes! No longer will its light bathe our low-cost units, providing them with additional star levels. They’ve had their moment in the moonlight, and their removal will help shake-up the early game. Say goodbye to the following units:
  • Lissandra
  • Sylas
  • Aphelios
• Dusk – Dusk’s removal will pave way to the dawn of a new origin we’ll talk about later— Dragonsoul! This means we’ll no longer see the following units in Fates:
  • Vayne
  • Thresh
  • Riven
  • Cassiopeia
  • Lillia
• Hunter – This group of synchronous snipers are headed out. Gone are the battles wherein they pick off foes in the blink of an eye. Farewell to:
  • Aphelios
  • Warwick
  • Ashe
• Dazzler – When Sharpshooters and Hunters were running amok, who did you turn to but the glamorous Dazzlers to bring them down a notch? However, the following champions will dazzle no more:
  • Lissandra
  • Lux
  • Ezreal
• Shade – No longer will Shades be slinking in and out of the shadows, terrorizing the enemy backline only to disappear without a trace. Speaking of, I can’t seem to find the following champions:
  • Evelynn
  • Kayn

We also have a few additional units leaving who don’t fall into one of these removed traits:

• Nami
• Hecarim
• Jinx
• Xin Zhao
• Jhin
• Ahri

Teamfight Tactics Fates 2 Changes

• Diana
  • Moonlight / Assassin → Spirit / Assassin
  • Diana uses a different skin, so be on lookout for her new appearance!
• Zed
  • Ninja / Shade → Ninja / Slayer
  • New: Zed now has a passive ability where he jumps to the back to replace the old Shade passive. It does not include the aggro drop part though, so he is a lot more vulnerable this time around.
• Kindred
  • Spirit / Hunter → Spirit / Executioner
  • We’ll talk about Executioner in a moment, but other than that, no change. Kindred are still the same strong 3-cost carry!
• Morgana
  • Enlightened / Dazzler → Enlightened / Syphoner
  • The built-in healing on her spell has been removed and replaced with a 40% AD reduction effect—but more on Syphoners later.
