We're nearing the end of the Teamfight Tactics Dragonlands and Uncharted Realms era of the game. We're on our way to a brand new set, and with that comes a ton of new aspects to the game. One of the most important ones is the TFT set 8 augments and items.
Augments have been a mainstay mechanic for the past two sets, and items have been around since the beginning. With augments becoming an evergreen mechanic to the game, both of these aspects to the game are critical to understanding the set.
