Set 12 ofTeamfight Tactics, titled Magic N' Mayhem, is live. It introduces a newly rotated cast of champions, new traits, and many new augments to learn and adapt to. Building specific team compositions is key to success in TFT, as much as adapting to which champions you randomly get throughout the game.
Focusing on building a strong trait is usually the most consistent way to improve, but just like Set 11, champion augments can turn a hard game into an easy one. But fear not, as we’re here to tell you all about it.
The Best Champion Augments in TFT Set 12
In a regular or ranked TFT match, there arethree times when all players can choose a beneficial augmentfor their team. If the augment is ofGold rarity, there is a chance the augment can offera powerful boon to a specific champion. These areChampion Augments, and some of these augments can turn into paths to victory if played around correctly.
Sweet Tooth Nunu
One of the best Champion Augments currently in the gameis Sweet Tooth, which is specific to the champion Nunu. This augment not only gives the player a Nunu, but it makes their strongest fielded Nunu unitpermanently gain added healthandscaling damageamplification and healingbased on total health.
That’s not all, as with this augment active, the player’sstrongest Nunu also permanently gains health each time their ability kills an enemy. Due to the way this augment scales, getting it as your first of three augments starts a snowball that can’t be stopped easily. Then, as the Nunu increases in power, the best way to keep it alive is to build the traitsBastion and Honeymancyalongside it.
The ideal items for this version of Nunu are a healing item likea Bloodthirsterand an ability power item likethe Archangel’s Staff.
Deja Vu Galio
Another great Champion Augment that Set 12 has isDeja Vu, which is specific toGalio. This augment gives the player a2-star Galio unitand improves the strongest Galio they field. The augmentincreases their attack range by 3and addsmana gain and extra ability power on each attack. His abilityno longer stuns or reduces enemy damage, but doesan extra 125 percent damage.
Effectively, this augment shifts Galio from a defensive unit into an offensive one, similar to the Ethereal Blades augment for Shen in Set 11. Due to this change, buildingVanguard and Mageis the way to go.
Due to the attack range buff and the mana gain, the best items for Galio areGuinsoo’s Ragebladeand theHextech Gunblade.
Spin To Win Wukong
Spin To Winis a Champion Augment forWukong, giving the player two Wukong units and improving the strongest one you control. This time, this changes Wukong’s ability toscale with attack damage, and in combat, itstacks an extra 20 percent of attack damageand30 percent attack speed per use.
Similarly to the Sweet Tooth augment above, this one makes Wukong a very threatening enemy for your opponents if you get it early on due to the stacking damage and attack speed. However, unlike Sweet Tooth, itdoesn’t stack any stats permanently, so it can work in bothearly or late gamesdepending on your team.
Concerning the team, Wukong with this augment fits best alongside theArcana and Preservertraits. As for ideal items, the best ones area Bloodthirsterfor healing, as well as some tank items likea Sterak’s Cage.
Zap Attack Blitzcrank
Last, we have the augmentZap Attack, which is specific toBlitzcrank. This augment gives the playera 2-star Blitzcrank unit, and then gives the strongest Blitzcrank fieldeda magic damage area-of-effect fieldthatdoes damage every four secondsas well asevery time they use their ability.
For a tank unit, this just makes Blitzcrank both a tank and a good damage dealer. Where the other builds above usually require the player to build different items than normal on their units, players can justput tank items on Blitzcrank and be perfectly fine. If you put this Zap Attack unit alongsideHoneymancy and Mages units, the total damage output from the team can be sky-high.
