What are Hextech Augments in TFT? Set 6 mechanic details
Hextech Augments are the TFT Set 6 special mechanic, giving players plenty of agency to play their own game. There’s over 140 to choose from — and we’ve got all the details on the new power-ups and their stats coming to Gizmos and Gadgets.
TFT Set 6 is here to shake up Riot’s hit autobattler yet again. With all kinds of Gizmos and Gadgets to play around with in the form of the Hextech Augments set mechanic, each game will be a unique experience.
There’s over 140 to choose from, and they can help enable any playstyle you want. We’ve got a breakdown of all the Hextech Augments coming in TFT Set 6, including what they do and how to get them.
Riot GamesTFT Set 6 has introduced new Hextech Augments, making each game unique (peep the training dummies, that’s an Augment).
How do Hextech Augments work in TFT Set 6?
Hextech Augments are the ultimate player agency mechanic in Teamfight Tactics.
“Some Augments break rules while others create new ones, allowing you to reinvent your game time and time again,” Riot said in TFT Set 6’s launch.
There are three Augment armories across the game at Stage 1-4, 3-5, and 5-1. As the game goes on, the average quality of the Augments you can choose from go up. All players will receive a similar quality of Augments in each armory (but not the exact same ones).
You will be presented with a choice of three Augments at each armory. You may only select one though, so choose wisely.
Riot GamesYou will have a choice between three Augments at Stages 1-4, 3-5, and 5-1.
Over 140 Hextech Augments have been added to TFT Set 6, with Riot intending on adding new ones in the Mid-Set update.
It seems like a daunting amount to learn, but most of them are reprints of each other. There’s Augments that give you emblems, and there’s also Augments that scale across tiers with better values. There’s a handful of unique Augments on top.
It’s not overcomplicated like Shadow Items, which Riot intentionally avoided when designing the system.
“The choices are right there in your face, the descriptions are very clear. You’re given a lot of time, and the choices are always positive — there’s no trick questions. We’re very enthusiastic about Augments, especially for new players,” developer Stephen ‘Mortdog’ Mortimer said in an interview.
“This will be a very exciting to learn system, very easy to understand, and with a lot of variety. We don’t think it has any of the same risks as Shadow Items.”
Riot GamesRiot claimed Augments have added “adaptability” to TFT that had been missing since Fates and the Chosen mechanic.

There’s also a new Labs game mode on the way named Double-Up. It’s the first co-op TFT experience, with players pairing up to face off in a 2v2v2v2 format.
