What are Hero Augments in TFT Set 8? New mechanic explained
Augments are returning in TFT Set 8, Monsters Attack. Now a permanent feature of the autobattler, Hero Augments change the game yet again from what players know from Gizmos & Gadgets and Dragonlands. Here’s how the new mechanic works.
TFT Set 8, named Monsters Attack, has finally been revealed — and that includes the return of Augments in their new form.
Riot stated back in Februarythey weren’t committed to the feature’s futuredespite a roaring community reception back in Gizmos & Gadgets. Now they will be permanent going forward, and Hero Augments are a first look at that new future.
There’s some big differences between the Set 8 Augments and what players grew used towith Hextech Augmentsand Draconic Augmentsin the last two sets.
So here’s how Hero Augments work, and what you need to know ahead of release in TFT Set 8.
What are Hero Augments in TFT Set 8?
Hero Augments are power-ups in TFT Set 8 that are champion-specific, rather than team-wide like the Augments of old.
“Players can build their own superhero each session thanks to all-new Hero Augments,” Riot said during the update’s November 1 reveal. “These don’t spread their powers across the entire team like Augments have done in the past. Instead, players pick a single Hero Augment from a wide array of options, supercharging that particular champion.”
Team-wide Regular Augments still exist in TFT Set 8, but Hero Augments are the star of the show. Each champion has a “carry” and “support” option, and when a Hero Augment shop is offered to players at either Stage 2-1, 3-2, or 4-2, they can select from three of them.
All players will be given the same value Hero Augment shops too. While champions will vary, if you get three two-cost options in your Hero Augment armory, you can be assured all your opponents will have the same rarity chocies.
