TFT Set 6.5 New Traits
Coming with Neon Nights is a list of brand new traits for you to play with. While these traits make use of some recycled champions, a lot of brand-new additions will be joining the roster alongside them.
Hextech (2/4/6/8)
- Nocturne: Tier 1 Assassin
- Jarvan IV: Tier 1 Striker
- Swain: Tier 2 Arcanist
- Sejuani: Tier 2 Bruiser, Enforcer
- Lucian: Tier 3 Twinshot
- Alistar: Tier 4 Colossus
- Sivir: Tier 4 Striker
Every few seconds, your Hexcore will pulse, granting Hextech units a shield for a few seconds. While this shield persists, your Hextech units will do extra magic damage on hit with all of their attacks.
Debonair (3/5/7)
- Brand: Tier 1 Arcanist
- Talon: Tier 2 Assassin
- Syndra: Tier 2 Scholar
- Leona: Tier 3 Bodyguard
- Draven: Tier 4 Challenger
- Zeri: Tier 5 Sniper
Debonair is a very unique trait that empowers one of your Debonair units. When rolling, you may stumble upon a Debonair VIP in your shop with a special glowing aura; This Debonair will receive special powerful bonuses to their ability when you have the Deonbair trait active. All other Debonairs will get bonus health and ability power.
Striker (2/4/6)
- Jarvan IV: Tier 1 Hextech
- Rek’Sai: Tier 2 Bruiser, Mutant
- Gnar: Tier 3 Socialite, Yordle
- Sivir: Tier 4 Hextech
- Irelia: Tier 4 Scrap
Striker is an incredibly simple trait. Strikers get extra attack damage for each level in this trait, making them a good hard-hitting support comp, but maybe not something to focus build.
Socialite (1/2/3/5)
- Gnar: Tier 3 Striker, Yordle
- Senna: Tier 3 Enchanter
- Seraphine: Tier 4 Innovator
- Galio: Tier 5 Bodyguard, Colossus
With two new additions to the trait, Socialite is getting some new enhancements. Socialite now gives bonus damage at (1), bonus mana regeneration at (2), omnivamp at (3), and at (5) all of these bonuses are doubled.
Jinx and Vi are now the trait Rival, which only gives bonuses if you run Jinx OR Vi, no longer buffing you for running them together. To compete, Vi now has a shield and a knockup dash on her ability, making her a much stronger unit.
TFT Set 6.5 New Units
Joining Neon Nights are three brand new, iconic, and powerful units; Zeri, Silco and Renata. These new units promise to be game-winners, with incredibly powerful abilities that make them stand out from the rest of the roster. These units add to the Debonair, Scholar, and Chemtech traits.
Silco
Tier 5 Mastermind, Scholar
Silco is the most exciting of the new Tier 5 options, being an Arcane favorite and the first non-champion to join TFT. Silco’s ability buffs his lowest health ally, granting them additional maximum health, attack speed, and immunity to crowd control for a few seconds. When the buff expires, the unit dies and explodes, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
With his trait, Mastermind, Silco gives the two allied champions in front of him increased mana regeneration.
Renata
Tier 4 Chemtech, Scholar
Renata is the newest champion to join League of Legends and will be joining TFT during the same patch. Her ability causes her to poison an enemy for the rest of combat, giving them reduced attack speed and causing them to take magic damage each second. Each additional cast of her ability stacks the damage.
Zeri
Tier 5 Debonair, Sniper
Zeri’s basic attacks fire a burst of bullets at her target, each dealing a small percentage of her attack damage as physical damage and extra bonus magic damage to the first unit hit. With her ability, Zeri jumps to her target and deals magic damage to nearby enemies while also increasing their mana costs. Afterward, she dashes back to her original position, and for the next few seconds her attacks pierce through targets.
