Items fundamentally enhance champion performance in Teamfight Tactics through stat boosts and special effects. Understanding item mechanics is crucial for strategic gameplay.

Basic Item Mechanics

• Champions from carousel come with a pre-equipped item
• Additional items drop during PvE rounds
• Items can be stored on bench until equipped
• Selling a champion returns their items to bench
• Champions can hold maximum 3 items
• Basic items auto-combine into Advanced items when equipped
• Advanced items cannot be split back into components

Item Categories:

Standard Items:

• Basic components that combine into advanced items
• Provide fundamental stat increases

Special Items:

• Uncraftable Emblems (Arcana, Blaster, Chrono, Incantor, Vanguard)
• Faerie Items (Armor of Eternal Flight, Eternal Monarch's Crown, etc.)
• Radiant Items (Enhanced versions of standard items)
• Artifacts (Unique powerful items with special effects)
• Support Items (Team-oriented effects)
• Consumables (Single-use utility items)

Item Management Rules:

• Items drop when selling champions
• Combining champions with over 3 items drops excess items
• Trait items drop if equipped to champions with same trait
• Most items stack additively

Non-Stacking Items:

• Emblem items
• Blue Buff
• Edge of Night
• Frozen Heart
• Infinity Edge
