The Teamfight Tactics Mid-Set has arrived, shifting from Gizmos and Gadgets to Set 6.5 Neon Nights, containing new, reworked, and existing traits.

New and reworked TFT Set 6.5 traits

A total of two Set Six Gizmos and Gadgets traits were reworked and five new TFT Set 6.5 traits were added to Neon Nights.

Hextech (2/4/6/8)

At the start of combat and every few seconds thereafter, the Hexcore sends out a pulse that grants a four-second shield. While the shield is active, Hextech champions deal additional bonus magic damage on hit. A new ability was added via the TFT 12.6 patch that has the shield and magic damage scale based on the number of Hextech Augments in your Hexcore. Bonus shield and magic damage per Hextech Augment is 20 percent.

Set 6.5 Hextech TFT champions are Jarvin IV, Nocturne, Sejuani, Swain, Lucian, Alistar, and Sivir.

Hextech magic damage: 15/30/55/90
Hextech shield: 100/150/275/375

Debonair (3/5/7)

Set 6.5 TFT Debonair champions gain bonus health and ability power that increases at breakpoints 3/5/7. If there is a Debonair VIP in play, they activate their unique bonus. Players can also sell the old VIP for a chance to see a new one appear in the shop.

Players can pick up a VIP champion from the shop but its VIP status isn’t activated until the Debonair trait becomes active at three. To find a new VIP Debonair, players must first sell the old one. Having at least three Debonair units on the battlefield increases the odds of a VIP showing up in the shop.

Debonair TFT Set 6.5 champions are Brand, Talon, Syndra, Leona, Draven, and Zeri.

Three: 200 health and 20 ability power.
Five: 450 health and 45 ability power.

Socialite (1/2/3/5)

There are two new Socialite champions in Set 6.5 and a fifth breakpoint has been added. Upon a Socialite unit getting put on the board, a spotlight is revealed. The unit standing in the spotlight gains bonus effects based on the number of Socialite units that are on the battlefield. Increasing the number of Socialite units results in an additional granted bonus.

Jinx: The Rival trait has Jinx gain 40 percent attack speed for three seconds after taking down an enemy unit.

Colossus (2,3)
