TFT Set 8 traits

Teamfight Tactics Set 8 is finally here, and with any new TFT set, there are plenty of spicy new traits to wrap your head around. This time around, developer Riot Games has given us everything from drones to a literal Trojan horse to play around with, so needless to say there’s a lot going on with the TFT Set 8 traits.

With much to learn in order to scale the TFT ranks, we’ve put together this handy guide that will teach you everything you need to know about what each trait does, and the champions which fall under their banner.

Below you’ll find the flavour text for each of the TFT Set 8 traits. The numbers for each trait are displayed as they were at launch, so be sure to keep an eye on the TFT patch notes for any tweaks to their power.

If you want to find out how much each unit costs, then be sure to check out our TFT Set 8 champions guide.
