Riot Games has taken inspiration from Arcane to introduce two exciting new types of augments in Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Set 13. These additions, Team-up Augments and Anomaly Augments, provide a fresh twist to gameplay, opening up unique synergies and strategies that align with the lore and characters from the series.
Here’s a breakdown of the new augments.
Team-up Augments
These augments focus on character relationships and interactions from Arcane, creating surprising combos between champions that wouldn’t usually share synergy. Appearing at stages 2-1, 3-2, and 4-2, these augments can be game-changing. However, some are Prismatic (Tier 3), meaning they’re rarer to encounter.
Examples of Team-up Augments
- Ambessa and Caitlyn (Trait: Martial Law)
- Effect: When Ambessa casts, Caitlyn fires an empowered attack dealing 225% damage, and Ambessa gains 30% of Caitlyn’s attack damage.
- Tier: Prismatic
- Silco and Jinx (Trait: Menaces)
- Effect: Powder gains Dominator instead of Family and spawns three of Silco’s monstrosities when her monkey explodes.
- Tier: Gold
- Vander and Silco (Trait: What Could Have Been)
- Effect: Vander gains max health each time Silco casts, while Silco gains ability power when Vander dies.
- Tier: Prismatic
These augments emphasize thematic connections while rewarding players who adapt their strategies around the unique abilities.
Anomaly Augments
The Anomaly augments offer champions powerful upgrades that align with Arcane’s chaotic themes. Players can access one Anomaly Augment at stage 4-6, choosing from a pool of 70 options, with more arriving in Patch 15.1. Players can reroll using one gold to find the perfect fit for their composition.
Notable Anomaly Augments
- Arcana Overwhelming
- Effect: Gain ability power equal to 25% of magic resist and an additional 50 magic resist.
- Avarice Incarnate
- Effect: Gain five gold and 15% damage amplification, increasing by 1% per two gold (up to 40%).
- Legacy of Shurima
- Effect: After 10 seconds of combat, ascend and gain 40% max health and 60% attack speed.
- Ultimate Hero
- Effect: Star up a three-star, one-cost champion to four stars!
With these augments, even struggling compositions can turn the tide of battle, offering players new tools to outwit their opponents.
Conclusion
TFT Set 13 has redefined strategic possibilities with its Arcane-themed augments. The Team-up Augments immerse players in character synergies, while the Anomaly Augments add unpredictability and power to every match.
Whether you’re crafting a lore-inspired dream team or leveraging chaos with a champion-focused Anomaly, these additions ensure an ever-evolving gameplay experience.
Prepare your tactics and embrace the Arcane-fueled madness in Set 13!
