Understanding TFT Augments

Augments in Teamfight Tactics are permanent bonuses added to your player's hexcore that significantly impact your game strategy. Since their introduction, augments have become a core mechanic that separates good players from great ones. Understanding which augments to pick and when can be the difference between finishing 8th or 1st in your lobby.

In Set 15: K.O. Coliseum, augments are divided into three categories based on when they appear:

• Silver Augments (2-1): Early game options that set your foundation
• Gold Augments (3-2): Mid-game choices that define your strategy
• Prismatic Augments (4-2): Late game power spikes that can win you the game

Pro Tips and Advanced Strategies

1. Adapt to Your Lobby

• High-rolling lobbies favor economy augments like Delayed Start
• Aggressive lobbies favor combat augments like Keepers I
• Always consider what other players are doing when selecting augments

2. Plan for Late Game

• Silver Destiny augments scale incredibly well into late game
• Economy augments often provide more value than immediate combat power
• Consider your win condition when choosing between immediate power and scaling

3. Counter Common Strategies

• If many players are going fast 8, consider combat augments for early aggression
• If lobby is slow, economy augments become even more valuable
• Track what augments others have taken to anticipate their strategies

4. Item Synergy

• Band of Thieves I and Pandora's Items reduce item RNG
• Component Buffet provides flexibility for item building
• Consider your item needs when selecting item-related augments

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overvaluing Immediate Power

• Many players take combat augments at 2-1 when economy would be better
• Delayed Start often provides more value than early combat augments
• Think about long-term impact rather than immediate results

2. Ignoring Patch Changes

• Kingslayer is currently disabled and shouldn't be picked
• Perfect Form was significantly buffed and is now viable
• Always check the latest patch notes before playing

3. Forgetting About Health

• Low health players should prioritize immediate impact
• High health players can afford to take scaling augments
• Your current health should influence your augment choices

4. Not Adapting to Augments

• Some players force compositions regardless of augments
• The best players adapt their strategy based on augment choices
• Be flexible and willing to change your plan based on augments

How often are augment tier lists updated?

Should I always pick S-tier augments?

While S-tier augments are generally the best choices, you should consider your specific game situation. Sometimes an A-tier or B-tier augment might be better for your current board, health, or strategy.

What happened to Kingslayer augment?

Kingslayer is currently disabled in Patch 15.7 due to a bug. Avoid selecting this augment until Riot Games re-enables and balances it in a future patch.

How do I choose between economy and combat augments?

Choose economy augments when you have high health and can afford to scale, or when you're planning for late game. Choose combat augments when you have low health and need immediate impact, or when you're playing an aggressive strategy.

Are hero augments worth picking?

Hero augments can be very powerful but are more situational than regular augments. They're typically worth picking only if you're already committed to that specific champion or if the hero augment is particularly strong.

What's the difference between Silver, Gold, and Prismatic augments?

Silver augments appear at 2-1 (stage 2-1), Gold augments at 3-2 (stage 3-2), and Prismatic augments at 4-2 (stage 4-2). Generally, Prismatic augments have the highest impact but appear later in the game.

How do patch changes affect augment tier lists?

Patch changes can significantly impact augment tier lists through buffs, nerfs, or mechanical changes. Always check the latest patch notes and updated tier lists before playing to ensure you're making optimal choices.
