Christmas has come early for TFT players, and the presents are full of Gizmos and Gadgets.

TFT patch 11.22 is live and it marked the arrival of TFT Set 6. 59 new champions and 28 new traits have joined the roster, along with the new Hextech Augments mechanic that gives players more than 2.7 million different ways to play the game.

It all went down in the massive November 3 update, and we’ve got the complete TFT patch 11.22 notes right here.

TFT Set 6, named Gizmos and Gadgets, launches on patch 11.22.

What’s coming in TFT patch 11.22?

TFT Set 6, Gizmos & Gadgets, launches on live servers

The big moment finally arrived ⁠— TFT Set 6 launched with patch 11.22. Named Gizmos and Gadgets, the Piltover-and-Zaun-themed set came alongside the release of Riot’s first TV adaptation, Arcane, based in the League of Legends universe.

There’s a lot to break down. 59 new champions and 28 new traits joined the TFT roster. Most interestingly, Veigar is the game’s first “secret” unit that can only be ‘bought’ through the Yordle trait (Tip: Get all six Yordles to three-star, and witness the magic).

The new Hextech Augments mechanic is a mix of all previous sets in one, giving players some pretty epic power-ups (more on that in a bit).

Not only that, but a Gizmos and Gadgets battle pass launched, TFT’s first co-op mode named Double-Up was finally added, and a host of “Tacticians” (the new name for Little Legends) and Arenas joined the party; including TFT’s first-ever Chibi Champions for Jinx, Vi, and Ekko.

Jinx is getting a new look for TFT, as well as her own “Tactician” players can run around the Convergence as.

New Hextech Augments mechanic

Now, about Hextech Augments. The TFT Set 6 mechanic has more than 140 power-ups, with players getting three of them across a game, with over 2.7 million different combinations possible.

With that many options, it might seem like an overwhelming system. However, Riot has designed it to be “very exciting to learn” after Shadow Items and Radiant Items flopped in Reckoning.

“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.

Players will be presented with a choice of three different Augments in armories at Stages 1-4, 3-3, and 4-5. Each player will receive Augment armories of the same value, but not the exact same Augments.

“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.

Hextech Augments can super-charge your economy, power up your board, and more.
