TFT Set 18 Traits: Every Trait, Breakpoint and Champion

By PivotTFT · Updated 13 October 2026 · 7 min read

Traits are what every comp is built on. Champions share them, and fielding enough of the same one turns its bonus on at set breakpoints. Below is every Set 18 trait with its breakpoints, its champions and the comps on our tier list that play it. Open any trait for its own page.

How traits work

Every champion has two or three traits. Field enough different champions with the same trait and you hit a breakpoint, which turns the bonus on; the next breakpoint makes it stronger. The numbers next to each trait below are its breakpoints. Only different champions count, so two copies of the same unit count once.

Most comps are built around one or two main traits at a high breakpoint, with smaller traits filling the rest of the board. Emblems add a trait to a champion that doesn't have it, which is often the easiest way to reach the next breakpoint.

Bonus values come from Riot's game data, with the latest patch notes applied. Riot sometimes changes numbers between data updates, so if one looks off, hover the trait in game.
