Riot Games is adding 25 new Artifacts and Support items to Teamfight Tactics Set 11 through Patch 14.9 to spice up gameplay.
Heading into TFT Patch 14.9, 20 new Artifacts and five Support items were showcased, with players able to test them out on the PBE servers. The items were created by game designers Riot Wittrock and Tim Truexy to spice up gameplay and create separation from “Core items,” according to game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. Five new items were previewed in early April and revealed in full around two weeks before Patch 14.9 is slated to go live on May 1. With the addition of the 25 new TFT Artifacts and Support items, a few existing Artifacts were removed.
TFT Artifact changes and Augments removed
Two TFT Artifact items, Goldmancer’s Staff and Magul’s Mail, will be removed from the active Artifact list through Patch 14.9. Augments like Portable Forge in Set 11 became available at all Stages of a game, allowing players to choose one of four Artifacts. But Portable Forge Plus and Portable Forge Plus Plus were removed. The number of Artifacts offered through an Anvil was also changed, increased to one of four instead of one of three.
Every new TFT Artifact and Support item from Patch 14.9
Support items have grown in popularity since TFT items were overhauled through Set 9.5, leading up to Set 10. Each of the five new Support items offers the equipped unit base health and a unique ability that supports your team comp. On the opposite side of the power spectrum level, there are the 20 new TFT Artifact items, offering equipped units a variety of power boosts and unique abilities.
Here’s every Artifact and Support item dropping into TFT Set 11 through Patch 14.9, according to Riot Games.
