The Arena mode, an amalgamation of Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and League of Legends, was released on 20th July along with the big 2023 Summer Event: Soul Fighter. Players had been eagerly awaiting this limited-time mode (LTM) and now that it is live on the client, they are making the most out of it. The Arena mode is very straightforward. Players are offered a simple system where they engage in many battles against other duos without having to farm, save gold, buy items, and scale up.
A big part of this game mode is the concept of Augments. These powerful scale-ups provide players and their champions with game-altering effects that, once selected, apply to the rest of the current game.
Here are the best S+ tier Augments in Arena mode currently.
