Set 12 of Teamfight Tactics, titled Magic N' Mayhem, is live. It introduces a newly rotated cast of champions, new traits, and many new augments to learn and adapt to. Building specific team compositions is key to success in TFT, as much as adapting to which champions you randomly get throughout the game.
Focusing on building a strong trait is usually the most consistent way to improve, but just like Set 11, champion augments can turn a hard game into an easy one. But fear not, as we're here to tell you all about it.
The Best Champion Augments in TFT Set 12
In a regular or ranked TFT match, there are three times when all players can choose a beneficial augment for their team. If the augment is of Gold rarity, there is a chance the augment can offer a powerful boon to a specific champion. These are Champion Augments, and some of these augments can turn into paths to victory if played around correctly.
Sweet Tooth Nunu
One of the best Champion Augments currently in the game is Sweet Tooth, which is specific to the champion Nunu. This augment not only gives the player a Nunu, but it makes their strongest fielded Nunu unit permanently gain added health and scaling damage amplification and healing based on total health.
That's not all, as with this augment active, the player's strongest Nunu also permanently gains health each time their ability kills an enemy. Due to the way this augment scales, getting it as your first of three augments starts a snowball that can't be stopped easily. Then, as the Nunu increases in power, the best way to keep it alive is to build the traits Bastion and Honeymancy alongside it.
The ideal items for this version of Nunu are a healing item like a Bloodthirster and an ability power item like the Archangel's Staff.
Deja Vu Galio
Another great Champion Augment that Set 12 has is Deja Vu, which is specific to Galio. This augment gives the player a 2-star Galio unit and improves the strongest Galio they field. The augment increases their attack range by 3 and adds mana gain and extra ability power on each attack. His ability no longer stuns or reduces enemy damage, but does an extra 125 percent damage.
Effectively, this augment shifts Galio from a defensive unit into an offensive one, similar to the Ethereal Blades augment for Shen in Set 11. Due to this change, building Vanguard and Mage is the way to go.
Due to the attack range buff and the mana gain, the best items for Galio are Guinsoo's Rageblade and the Hextech Gunblade.
Spin To Win Wukong
Spin To Win is a Champion Augment for Wukong, giving the player two Wukong units and improving the strongest one you control. This time, this changes Wukong's ability to scale with attack damage, and in combat, it stacks an extra 20 percent of attack damage and 30 percent attack speed per use.
Similarly to the Sweet Tooth augment above, this one makes Wukong a very threatening enemy for your opponents if you get it early on due to the stacking damage and attack speed. However, unlike Sweet Tooth, it doesn't stack any stats permanently, so it can work in both early or late games depending on your team.
Concerning the team, Wukong with this augment fits best alongside the Arcana and Preserver traits. As for ideal items, the best ones are a Bloodthirster for healing, as well as some tank items like a Sterak's Cage.
Zap Attack Blitzcrank
Last, we have the augment Zap Attack, which is specific to Blitzcrank. This augment gives the player a 2-star Blitzcrank unit, and then gives the strongest Blitzcrank fielded a magic damage area-of-effect field that does damage every four seconds as well as every time they use their ability.
For a tank unit, this just makes Blitzcrank both a tank and a good damage dealer. Where the other builds above usually require the player to build different items than normal on their units, players can just put tank items on Blitzcrank and be perfectly fine. If you put this Zap Attack unit alongside Honeymancy and Mages units, the total damage output from the team can be sky-high.
