Every three months Riot Games changes the landscape of TFT with a Mid-Set update. Set 8.5 Glitched Out! is the second half of Monsters Attack!, showcasing champions and traits from other dimensions. There are a total of 14 new champions and four new traits within Set 8.5, bumping out 15 Set Eight champions and two traits. All TFT Set 8 traits and champions leaving through the Mid-Set update There are three TFT Set Eight traits getting removed through the Set 8.5 Mid-Set update: Recon and Civilian. Both traits had an impact on Monsters Attack! but as support traits and not verticle ones. The other trait getting booted from Set 8.5 is the Arsenal trait, unique to only Aphelios.\u00a0 Most of the champions bidding farewell for the Mid-set update were primary carriers during TFT Set Eight. Of the 15 champions getting removed, six are four-cost units.\u00a0 Galio: One-cost Civilian and MascotTalon: One-cost Ox Force and RenegadeSivir: Two-cost Civilian and SureshotYuumi: Two-cost Star Guardian, Mascot, and HeartCho'Gath: Three-cost ThreatSenna: Three-cost LaserCorps and SureshotVel'Koz: Three-cost ThreatZoe: Three-cost Gadgeteen, Prankster, and HackerSett: Four-cost MechaPrime and DefenderSejuani: Four-cost LaserCorps and BrawlerSoraka: Four-cost ADMIN and HeartTaliyah: Four-cost Star Guardian and SpellslingerZac: Four-cost ThreatZed: Four-cost LaserCorps, Duelist, and HackerAphelios: Five-cost Ox Force, Sureshot, and Arsenal Zac is no longer a four-cost unit in Set 8.5 but the champion is still playable through the new Riftwalker trait, teleporting the former four-cost Threat unit back into combat through a gap in dimensions. Not every primary carrier from Set Eight got booted with the Mid-Set update. Samira will stick around for Set 8.5 with her original traits, along with Viego, who has gained the Heart trait in addition to Ox Force and Renegade.\u00a0 Players can test out the TFT Set 8.5 meta through PBE servers starting on March 8. The official launch of Glitched Out! will take place on March 22 through Patch 13.6.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/16124644\/TFT-Zoe.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813491"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813491"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":813678,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813491\/revisions\/813678"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/760360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813491"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=813491"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=813491"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=813491"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=813491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Every three months Riot Games changes the landscape of TFT with a Mid-Set update. Set 8.5 Glitched Out! is the second half of Monsters Attack!, showcasing champions and traits from other dimensions. There are a total of 14 new champions and four new traits within Set 8.5, bumping out 15 Set Eight champions and two traits. All TFT Set 8 traits and champions leaving through the Mid-Set update There are three TFT Set Eight traits getting removed through the Set 8.5 Mid-Set update: Recon and Civilian. Both traits had an impact on Monsters Attack! but as support traits and not verticle ones. The other trait getting booted from Set 8.5 is the Arsenal trait, unique to only Aphelios.\u00a0 Most of the champions bidding farewell for the Mid-set update were primary carriers during TFT Set Eight. Of the 15 champions getting removed, six are four-cost units.\u00a0 Galio: One-cost Civilian and MascotTalon: One-cost Ox Force and RenegadeSivir: Two-cost Civilian and SureshotYuumi: Two-cost Star Guardian, Mascot, and HeartCho'Gath: Three-cost ThreatSenna: Three-cost LaserCorps and SureshotVel'Koz: Three-cost ThreatZoe: Three-cost Gadgeteen, Prankster, and HackerSett: Four-cost MechaPrime and DefenderSejuani: Four-cost LaserCorps and BrawlerSoraka: Four-cost ADMIN and HeartTaliyah: Four-cost Star Guardian and SpellslingerZac: Four-cost ThreatZed: Four-cost LaserCorps, Duelist, and HackerAphelios: Five-cost Ox Force, Sureshot, and Arsenal Zac is no longer a four-cost unit in Set 8.5 but the champion is still playable through the new Riftwalker trait, teleporting the former four-cost Threat unit back into combat through a gap in dimensions. Not every primary carrier from Set Eight got booted with the Mid-Set update. Samira will stick around for Set 8.5 with her original traits, along with Viego, who has gained the Heart trait in addition to Ox Force and Renegade.\u00a0 Players can test out the TFT Set 8.5 meta through PBE servers starting on March 8.
