Dragon mechanic overhauled for Set 7.5
The biggest change — outside of the new champions and traits — isthe Dragon mechanic being entirely overhauled for TFT Set 7.5. Instead of players being limited to one Dragon for their board, Riot is encouraging players to play vertical Dragons as its own trait.
It now scales up to 5 Dragon, each giving your team (and the Dragons on it) bigger bonuses. On top of that, there are new Augments that power up your Dragons more than Alliance or Horde giving you bonus stats.
New Order and Chaos Treasure Dragons
While players have loved the agency the Stage 4-7 Treasure Dragon has afforded them, Riot are throwing a curveball into the mix by adding two new variants to the PvE round with Order and Chaos.
The original Treasure Dragon will still spawn 40% of the time, but the other two will occur in 30% of games each. The Order Treasure Dragon contains amazing loot, including Radiant items and huge amounts of gold. The Chaos Treasure Dragon is a bit more variable — it can be good, but it can also be mediocre.
