Here’s what you need to know about all the new Augments.
New Hextech Augments in TFT Set 6.5
There are 86 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.
