Teamfight Tactics items got a rather big set of changes in the TFT 9.16 patch. Hush’s full rework has made a bit of an impact, while others got big adjustments that either increased or decreased their viability in the current meta. They are also all now vulnerable to Hextech shenanigans since their ability can disable items for a few seconds.
TFT item cheat sheet [9.16] guide
Our TFT item cheat sheet guide has all the cheat sheets as of patch 9.16 you could ever need for your use at any time when playing the game. There are also the stats and abilities for every single item and a ranking list for all the TFT items.
TFT items work is very different from most auto-battlers. Instead of just equipping an item onto a champion, you will be able to combine two items together to not only make an item with both the bonuses of its ingredients, but also a unique bonus for the item itself.
To do this, you obtain items by either defeating Minions or drafting them pre-equipped from drafted champions. There are certain chances of how often items drop in the minion stages, which you can find in our TFT gold guide. As for how to equip items, just left-click and drag onto the champion of choice and release the mouse button to give that champion the item.

TFT items cheat sheet 9.16
You can save the image above – the TFT items cheat sheet – to use alongside your games of TFT. This includes all of the combined items, what they do, and the items you need to combine in order to make them.
Just to completely clarify, all combined items retain both of the combined basic item’s stats. The exception is the Spatula. If a spatula is combined with anything other than a Spatula, it will give the combined item double the other base item’s stats. As an example, the spatula when made into the Frozen Mallet gives the wearer +400 Health. If two spatulas are combined, there is no stat gain.
We’ll also be breaking down the cheat sheet into multiple separate sheets for each of the primary weapons.

Spatula – TFT items cheat sheet 9.16
Since most of the Spatula items merely make up numbers for their respective trait, there isn’t really much to say about them other than craft them if you need to make up numbers or give a specific trait perk to a champion. Look at our TFT item cheat sheet or table for the stats and what they make your champions into, as well as the few tips we do have for certain Spatula items.

TFT item rankings 9.16
All the combined TFT items have their use. Plenty of items have seen alterations that have changed how viable they are, with Locket of the Iron Solari now considered one of the worst items thanks to its temporary nature of the shield. Still, there are just some items that will always be high tier, and thus you’ll want to protect them from Hextech enemies by splitting them around your team.
- Hush has been completely reworked. It now causes mana lock rather than silence.
- Infinity Edge has been upgraded to 200%, so will see more play in Assassin comps.
- Ionic Spark did see a damage nerf, but multiple copies of now stack properly. It’s still a really good overall item, even if it currently has a problem with Hextech.
- Locket of the Iron Solari’s shield duration is temporary, which makes it a lot worse than before. It does last a little longer now though.
- Red Buff and Morellonomicon are now essentially the same item and did see a bit of a nerf overall.
- Redemption may see more play since Guardian Angel’s heal effect is reduced, but Guardian Angel has other traits that keep it high tier.
- Statikk Shiv may have fewer bounces, but the bounces at least do a bit more damage. Combined with items to increase attack speed and it becomes insanely powerful.
- Warmog’s Armor is not as good on bulky champions as it used to be, but 400 health per tick is still a high cap for Cho’Gath.
