Raul Rocha
This TFT Patch Notes 14.9 of Inkborn Fables introduces a whopping 20 new Artifacts, 5 new Support Items, and a slew of system changes.
While the sheer volume of content might be daunting, don’t worry – we’ll break it all down for you here.
You can check out the full list of changes in the official patch notes.
Vanguard in TFT Patch Notes 14.9
TFT Patch Notes 14.9 brings Riot’s anti-cheat system, Vanguard, to the game.
League of Legends details the official reasoning in a separate blog, but TFT players will ultimately benefit.
Installing Vanguard is simple and required to continue playing on PC, and the patch notes offer troubleshooting resources in case of any issues.
System Changes in TFT Patch Notes 14.9
Player Damage
TFT Patch Notes 14.9 are addressing how much damage players take throughout the game.
They originally aimed to streamline damage calculation in patch 14.8, but it ended up making matches a bit longer.
To fix this, they’re increasing the damage penalty for losing in stages 4-6.
- Stage Player Damage: 0/2/5/7/9/11/17/150 ⇒ 0/2/5/8/10/12/17/150

Levelling Costs
TFT Patch Notes 14.9 focuses on shaking up the meta by making it more expensive to reach level 9.
This change aims to curb players who consistently aim for 3-star, 4-cost champions.
Finally, leveling to 10 becomes slightly cheaper, encouraging players to consider it as a strategic option compared to always rolling at level 9.
- Level 8 to 9: 72g ⇒ 80g
- Level 9 to 10: 84g ⇒ 80g
Shop Roll Odds
- Level 8: 18/25/32/22/3 ⇒ 18/27/32/20/3
- Level 9: 10/20/25/35/10 ⇒ 15/20/25/30/10
Encounters
TFT Patch Notes 14.9 is taking aim at certain Encounters that have been causing significant gameplay disruptions. Devs are either removing them entirely or making them much rarer.
They are slightly increasing the chances of encountering the rare, engaging, and balanced Encounters players love.
