The next update for Teamfight Tactics is coming tomorrow in the live servers and with it comes one of the biggest chunks of changes we’ve seen in Teamfight Tactics. Patch notes for TFT 14.18 are filled with changes to pretty much everything in-game. We even get a new spatula-like item, the Golden Frying Pan so be prepared to cook up even more emblems in the week to come. Will this patch make the set even more chaotic? Or will it stabilize the meta as it is? Let’s take a look at the full TFT Patch 14.18 Notes:
The Golden Frying Pan
The Golden Frying Pan is a brand new item to TFT and is coming to fry some new Emblems. Unlike the Golden Spatula, which crafts Origin Emblems, you can combine the frying pan with components to create uncraftable class emblems. This TFT set wasn’t named Magic n’ Mayhem for nothing!
Combinations:
- Pan + Sword = Hunter Emblem
- Pan + Rod = Mage Emblem
- Pan + Bow = Multistriker Emblem
- Pan + Tear = Scholar Emblem
- Pan + Glove = Warrior Emblem
- Pan + Belt = Shapeshifter Emblem
- Pan + Cloak = Preserver Emblem
- Pan + Armor = Bastion Emblem
- Pan + Spatula = Tactician’s Cape Emblem
- Pan + Pan = Tactician’s Shield Emblem
- Reforging an Emblem can now turn it into any other Emblem
Tactician’s Shield
Your team gains +1 max team size
10% chance to drop 1 gold when the holder dies
Tactician’s Cape
Your team gains +1 max team size
Cape: 10% chance to drop 1 gold after 10 seconds of combat
Tactician’s Crown
Your team gains +1 max team size
10% chance to drop 1 gold when you win combat
As for the reforges on the Frying Pan and the Spatula, one will turn itself into the other. In addition, reforging a Tactician tool will turn it into another Tactician Tool. For instance, if you reforge the Tactician’s Shield it will turn into either the Cape or the Crown.
Golden Frying Pan Misc
- Gold Orbs, Prismatic Orbs, and Carousel now have a chance to have Frying Pans
- NEW : Frying Pan Portal: Start with a Frying Pan
- NEW : Let ‘Em Cook Portal: Start with a Spatula and a Frying Pan.

Item Removers
- You now gain an Item Remover from the first loot orb dropped each PVE round if you don’t already have one
- The drop rate of natural Item Removers has been lowered with the addition of guaranteed Remover drops
Four-Star Units
Yes, you read it correctly. Now, you will be able to combine 3 3-star copies of the same 1-cost champion to create a 4-star monstrocity.
Armories
In order to tackle the issue of players missclicking when an Artifact or an Item shop opens up, Riot Games will introduce a reduced misclick lockout:
Reduced misclick lockout from 1.5 seconds ⇒ 0.8 seconds
Tome of Traits
- Tome of Traits has been removed from the game
- Drops that previously granted Tome of Traits (Prismatic Orbs, Radiant Blessing, Loot Subscription) have been replaced with similar value contents (Support Anvils, Frying Pans/Spatulas, additional Component Anvils, etc.)
