The final Teamfight Tactics Mid-Set update for Set 9.5 Horizonbound has shifted the power levels and economy rewards for multiple Augments across all three tiers.
Slated to drop into live servers on Sept. 13 is TFT Set 9.5 Horizonbound. Much like previous Mid-Set updates, multiple champions and traits were replaced while those that did carry over experienced balance changes through Patch 13.18. Evergreen and Portal Augments also received changes across all three tiers through the Mid-Set update, especially in the Gold tier.
Here’s every TFT Set 9.5 Augment balance change from Patch 13.18, according to Riot.
