Trait Augments

Buffs were applied to most TFT Hextech Set Six trait Augments within the Silver, Gold, and Prismatic tiers. Heart Augments now grant a champion of the same trait, making it easier to hit breakpoints or econ. Gold Augments have been renamed Crests, granting a champion from that trait.

And Prismatic Augments (Crowns and Souls) have been changed to now grant two emblems, allowing players to capitalize on the trait’s power. Other Soul Augments also grant gold in addition to the original benefit and emblems also provide a small amount of combat power depending on their recipe or default 150 health.
