Cover-Credits:
Players are currently live on the Worlds 2023 patch as Riot Games rolled out Patch 13.19. As usual, the Teamfight Tactics (TFT) latest update also got released along with the patch, bearing some big gameplay changes.
As soon as the 13.19 TFT patch went online, TFT Gameplay Director Stephen "Mort" Mortimer said, "Hey folks. Wanted to give as much notice as possible, that we are planning a B-patch for tomorrow. Believe it or not, this is actually a planned B patch, not a response to something urgently off. Will give more details tomorrow as it goes live."
On cue, the mid-patch update was rolled out on 28th September. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Augment changes lined up in the 13.19 and 13.19B patch in TFT Set 9.5 Horizonbound.
Augment Updates in TFT Set 9.5 Patch 13.19B
If this is your first Set in TFT where you are playing with Augments, here’s all you need to know about how they work and what they are. Augments were first introduced to TFT through Set 6 Gizmos and Gadgets as the main mechanic. They became permanent in the auto-battler with TFT Set 8: Monsters Attack. Augments are basically permanent bonuses that are added to the player's hexcore.
At stages 1-4, 3-3, and 4-6, players are offered three choices of Augments and rerolls. Additionally, Augments are classified based on their rarity into Silver, Gold, and Prismatic tiers.
Some of the biggest changes in Patch 13.19 are Augments and here's all you need to know:
