Every new and reworked TFT Set 5.5 champion: Spells and updated stats

Teamfight Tactics’ Set 5.5 update, Reckoning: Dawn of Heroes, contains a total of 12 new champions and four updated units. 

Launched on July 21 via Patch 11.15, Set 5.5 has shaken up the TFT meta with new traits and champions. Of the 12 new champs, four stand out as S-tier units based on PBE testing. Several champs were also reworked for the set, such as Garen losing his God-King trait in exchange for Victorious. Alterations to new and reworked champions may occur through bi-weekly balance changes.

From swinging and dashing champions to gunslingers, here’s every new and reworked TFT champion in Set 5.5. 

Akshan

Akshan is a five-cost champion with the Sentinel and Ranger traits. The gunslinger pairs nicely with Aphelios for Ranger synergy and can hit backline units with his Heroic Swing ability. AD items are ideal for Akshan, such as Deathblade, along with speed items like Guinsoo’s Rageblade. 

• Heroic Swing passive: Akshan’s attacks reduce the target’s armor by 50 percent for five seconds
• Heroic Swing active: Akshan launches his grappling hook and swings untargetably toward the farthest enemy, gaining attack speed for four seconds. Akshan will continue to attack the nearest enemy at double his attack speed while swinging.
