TFT 18.5 brings together the Choncc or Treat event, adjustments to Azir and Blackthorn, and the return of 52 cosmetics. Choncc or Treat is playable until November 17, 2026. When returning to the patch, evaluate the fun mode and your ranked game plan separately. First choose which mode you will play, then review the changes affecting your composition.
Azir and Blackthorn Nerfs
| Azir ability damage | 46/69/110 AP → 43/65/105 AP |
| Blackthorn 6-piece enhanced bonus | 60% → 50% |
| Blackthorn base AP sacrifice | 12% increased damage + 2 mana regeneration → 10% increased damage + 2 mana regeneration |
On the buff side, Tristana’s maximum mana changes from 60 to 50, while Malphite’s shield changes from 700/850 to 735/885 AP. Evaluate these adjustments without automatically continuing the setup you memorized in the previous patch. Track the units you receive early, your items, and the compositions your opponents are pursuing; prepare an alternative plan instead of forcing a single build.
Choncc or Treat and the Return of 52 Cosmetics
This version of Choncc’s Treasure features Halloween-themed encounters; one example has everyone starting with their own unique Avatar Lux. The 52 returning cosmetics refer to collectible content becoming available again. This does not mean that everyone is receiving 52 free cosmetics. If you are interested in something for your collection, first check its status in the client. A cosmetic returning, owning it, and being able to purchase it from the store are separate matters.
ItemGold’s Take
If you play Azir or Blackthorn, reevaluate your carry and trait bonus together. For your cosmetic budget, you can browse the ItemGold TFT Token category and the 1005 TFT Token product listed for the Türkiye region. Check how your desired content can be obtained; this package does not promise to provide all returning cosmetics.
