Twisted Fate Build Guide (Mid)

Twisted Fate wins games between fights: a gold card is a two-second stun on demand, Wild Cards clear waves from safety, and Destiny turns any overextended enemy anywhere into a 2v1. Play the map, not the lane.

Magic penetration and ability power make cards and Wild Cards genuinely threatening between rotations; armor seals blunt assassins.

Twisted Fate Nerfs & Changes

Patch 26.19

nerf

Twisted Fate is too good in both mid and support, so it's nerf time. As support is the better-performing role, we're lowering his map-wide omnipresence and frontloading the nerfs. These nerfs come in the form of Patch 3.7's Destiny cooldown and 1.0.0.75's Gate cooldown, the last time it was ever its own spell. We're also matching his passive's behavior with other global passives: It's disabled while he's dead.

Passive - Loaded Dice

  • Bonus Gold While Dead: Allies no longer gain bonus gold while Twisted Fate is dead.
  • Cooldown: 120 / 105 / 90 / 75 / 60s → 135 / 120 / 105 / 90 / 75s
  • Cooldown: 130 / 110 / 90s → 180 / 150 / 120s
  • Mana Cost: 150 → 150 / 125 / 100
