The TFT Set 5.5 update, named Reckoning: Dawn of Heroes, is set to introduce 12 new champions to replace some of your old favorites. We’ve got the list of all the new champions and traits coming in the Mid-Set, and who’s fallen to the Ruination.

TFT Set 5.5 is finally here, with the Reckoning Mid-Set update introducing an all-new Ruined Items feature to replace their Shadow counterparts, as well as a Divine Blessing drop that rewards players like Lucky Lanterns.

However, the big part of every Mid-Set is seeing which champions are joining the Convergence. In TFT Set 5.5, 12 new champions ⁠— and associated traits ⁠— are being added as the fight between the Sentinels of Light and the Ruined heats up.

New TFT Set 5.5 traits list

The biggest addition, traits-wise, in TFT Set 5.5 is Sentinel. It ties into the multiverse event across Runeterra, Rise of the Sentinels. The guardians of Runeterra are fighting back against the Ruination (basically the Forgotten) to try and keep the Black Mist back.

To do so, they’ll need a bit more weaponry. Cannoneer is being added as a new trait too, and while it sounds similar to Gunslinger, it’s different in practice. Some five-cost traits, like Victorious and Inanimate, have also been added.

As for reworked traits, Forgotten has gotten a significant rework to become more like Warlords with the removal of Shadow Items. Forgottens now get a base bonus of AD and AP, which scales based on winning combats.

All champions & traits being removed in TFT Set 5.5

Of course, to let the new champions and traits in, some have to be removed. 13 TFT Set 5 champions and a handful of traits are being removed to fill the void, including Garen’s God-King rival Darius.

Champions

• Darius
• Katarina
• Kindred
• LeBlanc
• Lissandra
• Mordekaiser
• Morgana
• Pantheon
• Ryze
• Taric
• Trundle
• Viktor
• Warwick

Traits

• Coven
• Dragonslayer
• Eternal
• God-King

TFT Set 5.5 is set to launch on patch 11.15, penned in for July 21.
