“TFT” Set 8 Monsters Attack only came out earlier this month, but already “TFT” Set 8.5 is being anticipated with great anticipation for the awesome new material it will offer to the game. While we don’t have many specifics on Set 8.5 just yet, we may reasonably anticipate hearing more about the “TFT” Set 3 release date and other facts somewhere in early 2023.
Some “Teamfight Tactics” fans, however, have not let the lack of official statements stop them from making their own assumptions. For example, in order to estimate when the “TFT” Set 8.5 will be released, TheGameHaus.com researched all the data it could find.
This is a reasonable period to expect a new TFT Set or.5 Set release, given that TFT often releases at this frequency. The release of “TFT” Set 8.5 has also been guaranteed for the spring by the programmers; March marks the beginning of the spring season.
TFT Set 8.5 PBE Official Release Date
Fortunately, TFT Set 8.5 is not too far away. Early access to the set begins on the Public Test Realm (PBE) on March 8, with a full release scheduled for March 22. You have one month to complete the remaining tasks on your Battle Pass and play enough games to attain Platinum.
The clock stops at Set 8.5, and there’s no turning back. Set 8.5 follows the standard release schedule of the middle sets by appearing three to four months following the first set. As soon as March rolls around, you should start working on Set 8.5. After June, Set 9 will take over for the summer.
What’s New About TFT Set 8.5?
Approximately 20 champions are swapped out and the set’s overall motif is somewhat reimagined after each mid-set reset. It’s safe to assume that Set 8: Monsters Attack! will still feature some Hero-style Augments. Some shifts are expected, though. In Set 8.5, Hero Augments, for instance, are interchangeable with Villain Augments.
After gaining more dragons in the transition from Set 7 to Set 7.5, it would make sense to also gain additional monsters and villains. Fans can only guess about the thrilling new secrets of Set 8.5 until March 8, when the set will be released on the PBE.

What Changes Are Coming in TFT Set 8.5?
Patch 13.5 introduces a number of modifications that were supposed to go live with TFT Set 8.5 but are arriving early. Both the item and Hero Augment distribution improvements announced by game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer are now available on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) and will be implemented in Patch 13.5.
Patch 13.3 included a major system update to Set Eight Hero Augments, allowing players to reroll for an Augment that suits their comp a greater amount of times. Several adjustments to Monsters’ Attackcore !’s mechanic has been implemented by the TFT balanced team, and a new odds table for Hero Augment Armories at Stages 3-2 and 4-2 has also been included.
Typically, mid-set balancing updates introduce a small number of new qualities and about 20 champions, while deleting a larger number of traits and champions that were either too difficult to balance or didn’t fit the new set’s theme. The evergreen nature of Regular Augments in TFT also ensures that they won’t be going somewhere anytime soon.
Hero Augment TFT Set 8 and 8.5 Changes
According to Mortdog, numerous TFT Set Eight Hero Augments lacked the correct tags after the Hero Augment Reroll modification went live in Patch 13.3, and players continued to feel that the Stage 3-2 and 4-2 Armories weren’t consistently customized enough.
Patch 13.4 fixed the tags, and Patch 13.5 will provide a new distribution table for Hero Augments to Armories at Stages 3-2 and 4-2, depending on the attributes that are now active. The team is working on cost distribution in addition to the updated odds for active traits.
Armories for Hero Augments in Stage 2-1 will continue to be fully random, however, those with a cost of three will be seen less frequently in both Stages 2-1 and 4-2. As of TFT Set 8.5 and continuing through Patch 13.6, all Stage 3-2 and 4-2 Hero Augment Armories “will never be all the same tier,” as Mortdog puts it.

Item Distribution TFT Set 8 and 8.5 Changes
Patch 13.5 adds some refinements to the basic loot system, which has been in place since Patch 9.18. From this point forward, the same number of goods will be given to each player in a lobby. Each lobby’s starting item distribution will be rolled to ensure that no player starts with fewer than two items from the pool.
Even if a player in the lobby is short one or two things, they may be able to make up the difference with bonus orbs. In addition, the payouts from bonus orbs are roughly the same for all participants in a given lobby. As an additional improvement, the TFT team has made it so that at Stages 1-2, all players in a lobby will receive a bonus orb.
Players will be able to “buy your 1-3 store and make better-educated selections in the beginning phase of the game,” as Mortdog puts it. All changes included in Patch 13.5 are now active on the PBE and will remain in place until the TFT Set 8.5 Mid-Set update.
