Riot has revealed the new champions and traits coming in TFT Set 6.5, with the Neon Nights Mid-Set update set to introduce more than 20 new units and plenty of new synergies. Here’s a list of them all, as well as what they do.
TFT Set 6.5 is around the corner. Named Neon Nights, the Mid-Set update is primed to be the biggest in Teamfight Tactics history, with more than 20 new champions being added, a handful of traits, and more innovation than ever.
With a bevy of changes to the Gizmos & Gadgets roster, here’s what we know about all the new TFT Set 6.5 champions and traits coming in the Neon Nights Mid-Set update.

New champions in TFT Set 6.5
More than 20 new champions are expected in TFT Set 6.5. This includes some familiar faces, some new names — even units from outside of League of Legends — all of whom are “ushering in the new era of Hextech” in the words of developer ‘Craftbrew’ during Riot’s January 19 dev drop.
The big one is Silco: the Zaun undercity kingpin who was a crux of the Arcane TV show story will be making his debut in-game in Teamfight Tactics. He is the first champion the developers have had to make from scratch given he’s currently not in League of Legends.
However, two new champions are making their debut too in Alistar and Corki. This means every single League of Legends champion except one, Rammus, has now appeared in a TFT set (excluding the just-released Zeri).
Here’s a full list of champions currently revealed for the TFT Set 6.5 update.
Alistar
Brand
Corki
Draven
Gnar
Irelia
Jarvan IV
Kha’Zix
Lucian
Nocturne
Rek’Sai
Sejuani
Silco

Sion, Lux, Yuumi, more being removed in Neon Nights Mid-Set update
To make way for the new roster, some champions will have to be removed. While Riot hasn’t explicitly said goodbye to any specific champions, by looking at the gameplay trailer it’s clear most of the Academy and Imperial units will be removed in TFT Set 6.5.
Sion, Lux, Yuumi, and more are on the chopping block for Neon Nights, with more to be revealed as the update nears.
New traits in TFT Set 6.5
Two new traits were the focus of Riot’s January 19 dev drop — Debonair and Hextech. While Riot didn’t dive into specific details of what these traits will bring, the developers loosely eluded to their powers.
Debonair champions will utilize “futuristic concoctions” to pop off, while Hextech units will bring the Hexcore more into play with disruptive pulses dropping every couple of seconds.
Here’s a full list of traits currently revealed for the TFT Set 6.5 update.
Debonair
Hextech
Debonair Draven from League of Legends.Riot Games
Debonair is one of the new traits coming in TFT Set 6.5, with Draven as a center-piece.
Academy, Imperial traits disappear in Neon Nights Mid-Set update
Riot have highlighted two main traits which will be removed in TFT Set 6.5: Academy and Imperial. While both have been meta at times during Gizmos & Gadgets, from Katarina to Samira, it won’t be surviving the Mid-Set update.
However, just because the two traits are being 안전놀이터추천 removed doesn’t mean all the champions are going. Based on early gameplay footage, Leona will be reworked into a Debonair, while Swain still remains for TFT Set 6.5.
TFT Set 6.5 will be released onto the PBE in the coming weeks.
