Here are all the new TFT Set 9.5 items and how they work, along with how to craft them.

All new craftable items in TFT Set 9.5

When talking about the ways items are getting changed for this mid-set update, developer Tim “Riot Truexy” Jiang talked about items like Zephyrs or Zeke’s Herald. They were useful for compositions in the late game, but their use in the early game was unappealing, leading to the components for said items being less chosen. So, items similar to those two are now dubbed support items and won’t be craftable. 

Many remain the same from Set 9, but here are all the new craftable items in Set 9.5 Horizonbound.

Adaptive Helm

  • Crafting recipe: Tear of the Goddess + Negatron Cloak
  • Mana: 15
  • Magic Resist: 30
  • Combat Start: Unit gets buffs depending on where they start. If they are in the front two rows, they gain 15 Ability Power and 25 Armor and Magic Resist. If they are in the back two rows, they gain 15 Ability Power and 15 Mana every three seconds.

  • Ability Power: 25
  • Armor: 25
  • Critical Chance: 20 percent extra
  • Deal 15 percent bonus damage, increased by 15 percent when below 60 percent maximum health.

All of the above, if you couldn’t tell by the recipes, are replacing the previous items with the same crafting recipes. Those are now placed in the uncraftable Support item role. Plus, each one of these new items has a Radiant version that players will have to wait to see with the update starting on Sept 12.
