Set Five Reckoning has launched, showcasing a number of carriers to help players fast eight and nine toward those Teamfight Tactics Legendary carries.
A new mechanic, Shadow items, was introduced with TFT Set Five. Adding a total of 36 new items (not including spatula trait items), players have options when equipping their carries. Building a solid team comp in TFT has always included best-in-slot (BiS) items on the carriers. Set Five expands on this theme offensively and defensively with the Shadow items.
Secondary carries play an important role as well, with TFT Set Five champions like Morgana using Morellonomicon and Fallen Guardian Angel. Diana and Nunu are good holders of Frozen Heart while Nautilus thrives with Redeemer and Zz’Rot Portal. Other secondary carriers include Zyra with Spear of Shojin and Jeweled Gauntlet, along with Riven using Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel, and a third defensive item if necessary.

- Vayne: Sacrificial Gauntlet, Runaan’s Hurricane, and Guinsoo’s Rageblade.
