Feats of Strength in League of Legends patch 25.S1.1: How it works and upgrade bonuses

With the introduction of Feats of Strength, a team can upgrade their Tier 2 boots to the Triumphant versions by completing two of the three following feats:

• First Blood
• First Turret
• Epic Monster slaying

As the game progresses, the team that has won the Feats of Strength will also have the chance to upgrade their Tier 2 boots to Tier 3 by expending gold. However, this is contingent upon the team possessing a minimum of two legendary items in their inventory.

The Feats of Strength can be quite advantageous for teams in the early game, thereby establishing a tangible advantage by the mid-to-late game.
