The “Overpowered” Augment in TFT Season 15 Has a Severe Bug
With an anime/manga style, TFT Season 15 brings interesting names for its mechanics, along with many new gameplay elements that have never been seen before. Among them, one cannot overlook the Augment considered the “most overpowered” of Season 15, named 9-Lives. This is evaluated as a powerful augment but extremely difficult to utilize.
Accordingly, some players discovered that the 9-Lives augment, which has a mechanism that does not stack with any other augment that increases the health of champions. However, this augment does stack with another augment called Tough Business. This is an augment that allows players to gain 4 health after each carousel round (also known as the shopping round). Thus, every 6 rounds, players will receive an increase of 4 health.
Therefore, if players can maintain at least 4 out of 6 rounds won, when reaching the shopping round, they will gain a significant amount of health, but each loss only causes them to lose 1 health, allowing players to become “immortal” while still receiving numerous benefits from the 9-Lives augment.
However, players are not too worried about this bug in TFT Season 15
In reality, the likelihood of both 9-Lives and Tough Business appearing at the same time is very low, almost impossible, even after tens of thousands of matches since the new TFT season began. Therefore, the majority of player opinions express little concern, even though the ability for 9-Lives to stack with the health-boosting augment will greatly assist players in achieving victory, making them nearly unbeatable.
Furthermore, if a risky augment like 9-Lives appears too early at lower ranks, players will struggle to maximize the potential of this augment. Thus, even holding a strong augment does not guarantee effectiveness.
