Best Mercenaries Augments in Teamfight Tactics (2022)

Throughout the game, the player is offered three choices of augments. During each choice the player must select one out of three augments. Each augment has a rarity (silver, gold, or prismatic).

Over 140 possible TFT Set 6.5 Hextech Augments can show up in an Armory, with over 80 more getting added in Set 6.5 Neon Nights. Each player receives options that are equal in power and come from the same tier but are different from each other. A total of three tiers of Hextech Augments exist in Set 6.5: Silver, Gold, and Prismatic.

Some options have multiple versions across tiers, while others are unique. Hextech Augments mean to shift the focus off of TFT items, opening the door for flexible gameplay while also possibly doubling down on early-game decisions.

Options are offered to players a total of three times throughout a game via a Hextech Augment Armory. These Armories will appear at Stages 1-3, 3-5, and 5-1. Hyper Roll Hextech Augments will appear at Stages 3-1, 5-2, and 7-2. The total chance of a Prismatic game in TFT Set 6.5 was increased from 31 to 33 percent

How to See Augments Explanations In-Game?

Players can see what Hextech Augments opponents have received, along with their own, via stationary Hextechs on the board. Right-clicking on the symbols above each Hextech will reveal the Hextech Augments. Prior to the Nov. 3 Set Six launch, Augments Scoped Weapons and Tinker were removed from the list of possible Hextech Augments.

Following Patch 11.24, Innovator Heart was no longer offered as a first Hextech Augment choice, and Innovator Soul was removed as a third Augment option. Silver-tier effects that granted an emblem were renamed to Crests, with a number of them also granting a champion from that trait. And some Prismatic-tier Soul effects were changed to Crown.

From being able to level up to 10 to free Shop refreshes each round, here’s every possible TFT Set 6.5 Hextech Augment and its effect, divided up into the three possibilities.

Mercenaries

Mercenaries have been one of my favorite comps since their release. I simply loved them since they are kind of lucky number Mutants. They are one of the most fun compositions to play, and they can be very strong when combined with snipers. Those two comps are very compatible, and they are in great harmony with each other. 

The most important champion for both compositions is Miss Fortune. She is not the strongest champion for snipers, nor for mercenaries, but she is the only one that shares both traits. She is like a glue that holds everything in place and makes these two compositions compatible.

Mercenaries are the composition to go almost always since its champions aren’t really used much for other comps apart from Quin, which is very useful in Challenger comp.

The Mercenaries composition can be very useful. It really depends on how many mercenaries you have got. With three, you aren’t going to do much, but when you assemble 5 Mercs on the field, you are in some serious business. And if you manage to assemble all 7, then you can not lose that game.

Mercenaries: Gain a treasure chest that opens when you win combat against a player. At the start of each planning phase vs a player, dice rolls add loot to the chest. The longer you’ve gone without opening the chest, the luckier the dice.

• 3 – Roll 2 dice
• 5 – The dice are even luckier!
• 7 – Upon winning, roll a 3rd die that grants bonus loot.

Conclusion

Augments are for sure something that Riot has brought in, not too long ago and they have became the staple sign of TFT. I can not imagine a game without them and the fact that we had a couple of sets in The Teamfight Tactics without them is incredible to me. I just don’t even remember how that used to work since they are one of the most, or maybe even the most influential part of the Tamfight Tactics game and are integral part in every composition ou there.

The Mercenaries composition is one of the best compositions if you can pull it off. The 7 mercenaries are a golden composition for receiving many items. Sometimes if you can pull it off, you can end up with 15 items, compared to other players who will at max have 7 or 8. 

You are pretty augment-dependant, and since you can not create The Mercenaries emblem with Spatula, this composition is not something you will manage to pull off every time you play TFT. The thing is, even if you aren’t doing so well and keep losing some fights and after a while, you win a fight, your loot will be even luckier!
