TFT Set 13: Team-Up Augment Explained
In Teamfight Tactics Set 13, Into the Arcane, Riot Games has taken the opportunity to do a revamp of the augment mechanic. Players might remember that the first “Arcane inspired” set, TFT Set 6 Gizmos and Gadgets was the first ever set where Augments were introduced. The mechanic was such a smash it that it became a permanent part of the game. Seven sets later, there are still innovations that are being made. In TFT Set 13, there are over 100 new augments including a brand new type of augment called “Team-up”. Here is an in-depth look at what they are and what they do.
Team-Up Augments create unique traits
This actually isnt the first time Riot has introduced a new type of augment. Back in TFT Set 8, Monsters Attack!, Hero augments were introduced in which they impact one specific champion. In TFT Set 13, Riot is aiming to create another innovation to augments that can be used for sets to come.

One could infer from the name Team-Up that these augments will unite champions to provide a player additional power and while that is true, there is definitely some nuance to it. Team-Up Augments are essentially additional two-piece traits that can only be activated if a player picks the augment and then fields the champions listed in the augment.
These combinations are simply two champion combinations inspired by the Arcane animated television series that help tell the story of the show in the game giving players some nice fan service. NOTE: Some of the combinations may or may not be spoilers from the show.
There appear to be seven different Team-Up augments for players to select. Here is a list of each augment, what champions it takes to make active as well as what the trait does. gh
