Consider this the yearly patch schedule pinned post, since I know I still owe it. It's close enough and should last us until October at least. So if you're ever curious when a TFT patch comes out, here ya go!

The Sonic Secret Lair was very kind to me. Only took me 6 min to buy, got the whole set, and got 3 emeralds out of the 6 packs. I am happy with my purchase!

The first tournament I was a caster for was WAYYYY back in Set 2, before we even had a standard championship. The VOD is still live with less than 200 views: youtube.com/watch?v=8igzGX…

And here are the last batch of Augment and Power-Up tunings. For the rest of PBE, just expect 1 smaller patch tomorrow and then no changed until after the weekend.
Here's the final large balance patch for PBE before the release of KO Coliseum. They'll be another post with Augment and Power-up changes. There are clearer outliers today with 4 power verticals (SG/Gambit/Mech/SF) that we're hitting. Otherwise, enjoy PBE!
Tuesday's PBE patch notes. This patch is intentionally small as the weekend's megapatch settles. We're focusing on bugfixes and tweaking roles to help Melee Fighters lategame. Tomorrow is the last PBE patch before Launch, so expect more changes then!
Bootcamp signup deadline has been extended to July 22nd! (cause i was unable to stream and advertise signups this weekend) If you're seeing this now for the first time and still wanna sign up you have 36 hours from this post to submit! We will pick and announce the roster 2 days…

Here is the 7/21 PBE MEGAPATCH after a full weekend of data. Our main goals are to pull down the damage in late-game fights, with nerfs to the outlying traits and pulling down power in Augments/Powers (another post).
And the FINAL post about PBE today are a few more balance changes to items and 3* 5-costs. Roles Revamped significantly hurt how 3* 5-costs work. We're updating some rules to let 3* 5-costs really shine for the rare few who hit them on Live servers.
Continuing the PBE mega-patch, here are the Augment/Power Up/Item balance changes. As noted before, a focus here is on reducing damage scaling late-game, while also buffing up some lower-performing options.
Ok, so I went pretty hard on the FF M:TG set. The were both so core to my teenage years, and my encouraged me, and I hadn't collected something so intensely in a long time. Was very fun! After trying to get every treatment of every card, here's all that remains: -FIN Extended…

So when is Dango golfing going to be in the Olympics? @Mortdog
Just sent out a patch to resolve the Battle Academia Emblem health bug. Sorry about that! Let me know if you continue to see any weird behavior from it.
Day 3 PBE Notes! This is our weekend patch as head toward lock next week. Our focus today is getting the 1-3 costs in better spots, buffing up Soul Fighter which has struggled as a late game comp, and shifting power into the Crew units early and pulling power from it lategame.
Strength and spectacle go hand in hand for Braum! He and his fluft of fans are pumped up and camera-ready for battle in the K.O. Coliseum! Stay tuned for our next fighter reveal tomorrow! 🌟🎤🎶 🎨 @kamata_muscle

Day 2 PBE Notes! Today, we're trying out a change to let players equip Power Ups during combat. We noticed a lot of players feel stressed handling the new Power Snax, so hopefully this change punishes players less for using Power Snax late.
Lulu and her friends always make time to stop and smell the butterflies! They'll carry the spirit of fun to the K.O. Coliseum--win or lose, it'll be a good time! Stay tuned for our next fighter reveal tomorrow! 💪🐯 🎨 @kawasumi3
