Here’s what you need to know about all the new Augments.
Radiant Items TFT armoryRiot Games
The Radiant Armory from the Dawn of Heroes update is returning for TFT Set 6.5 as a Hextech Augment.
New Hextech Augments in TFT Set 6.5
There are 87 new Hextech Augments overall in TFT Set 6.5. Some of the Augments have drawn inspiration from traits in previous sets, like the Draconic-style Golden Egg, as well as Galaxies’ Tiny Titans (known as Medium Legends back then).
Radiant Items also make their return with a new armory Augment, while some pre-existing Augments like Weakspot have been reworked to increase diversity.
“We didn’t launch with enough generic Augments and so we’re trying to make sure there are more times where you go ‘what does this do, no matter what comp I’m playing,'” developer Stephen ‘Mortdog’ Mortimer explained in an interview.
You can check the full list below, divided into their respective tiers.
