The Mid-Set update for Teamfight Tactics Monsters Attack! is bringing about changes in Set 8.5 Glitched Out! while featuring a total of 27 traits.
Interdimensional rifts are opening portals in TFT Set 8.5, creating four new traits in Glitched Out! There are 27 traits and 59 champions in the Midset, with a total of 15 Set Eight champions bidding their cohorts farewell. Many of the original Set Eight traits have carried over into the Mid-Set. Adjustments were made to several existing traits, from champion changes to ability reworks, ensuring a balance between all champions and traits.
Here’s every TFT Set 8.5 trait, the breakpoint stats, and the champions associated with each trait in alphabetical order. Any trait receiving balance changes through a patch will be updated when that patch drops into live servers and during PBE testing.
