Best radiant items in TFT set 9.5

TFT Set 9.5 has many radiating elements, each of which provides a different performance. Below I will tell you which ones are the best and which champions you should use them on.

TFT Radiant item tier list

The items I have included here are based on my opinion and on the publicly available metadata collected from the TFT player base, as they are the most frequently chosen and have the most wins. So you can’t go wrong if you choose any of these.

10. Edge of Dawn

• Once per battle: At 60% health, briefly become invulnerable and shed negative effects. Then heal 100% of the missing health and gain 85% additional attack speed.
  • Best item holders:
    • Aphelios
    • Graves
    • Bel’Veth
    • Qiyana
    • Jayce

This item is particularly good for champions who deal a lot of damage and benefit from high attack speed, as once their health drops below 60% they become nigh-invincible, carrying you through the round. I’ve always used this item on Bel’Veth because she’s perfect with more attack speed.

9th equinox

• 30% shatter enemies within 2 hexes. Gain 50 armor and magic resistance in the first 15 seconds of battle.
  • Best item holders:
    • Vi
    • Sejuani
    • nautilus
    • Warwick
    • Sion

Equinox is a great item for units with shields or lots of health, because while tanks are present, they also split enemies, allowing your damage-dealing carriers to easily take them out in no time. Sejuani is one of the best destroyers in this set, as she already slows down enemies by chilling them. 30% “Sunder” makes them even better.

8. Willbreaker

• Deals 50% more damage for 3 seconds after damaging a shield.
  • Best item holders:
    • Aphelios
    • Jayce
    • Kai’Sa
    • Hex
    • Vel’Koz

When you’re up against a Bastion team competition, there’s nothing better than the Willbreaker. While there isn’t much difference compared to regular units, this item changes everything when you’re fighting tanks. Aphelios already attacks quite quickly and placing Willbreaker will help him deal much more damage at this speed.

7. The Baron’s Gift

• After casting an ability, you gain 60% attack speed for 8 seconds.
  • Best item holders:
    • Murder Emperor
    • Azir
    • Orianna
    • Heimerdinger
    • Aphelios

There are champions who benefit greatly from increased attack speed, regardless of whether they deal attack damage or magic damage. 60% attack speed makes a big difference, especially for champions like Azir, who continues to scale his attack with every move he makes.

6. Fast Light Cannon

• Deal 15% additional damage and gain 2 additional attack range.
  • Best item holders:
    • Nilah
    • Bel’Veth
    • Mordekaiser
    • Aphelios
    • Jayce

Some champions deal a lot of damage but aren’t built like a tank, and a few points between enemy units is a long shot. For this reason, Rapid Light Cannon is effective on champions who use it well, especially with the additional bonus damage going a long way. Nilah deals a lot of damage before dodging the enemy. If you put that on her, she becomes untouchable.

5. Zenith Edge

• Abilities can hit critically.
  • Best item holders:
    • Aphelios
    • Jayce
    • Hex
    • Xayah
    • Samira

Zenith Edge makes your abilities critically hit, so I would obviously recommend using this ability on champions that have decent attack speed in addition to attack damage. Champions like Xayah make excellent use of this, as she already has a critical strike value via the Vanquisher trait.

4. Runaan’s Storm

• Attacks fire a bolt of lightning at a nearby enemy, dealing 100% of attack damage as physical damage.
  • Best item holders:
    • Hex
    • Jayce
    • Aphelios
    • Jhin
    • Qiyana

Runaan’s Storm is like another ability as it fires a bolt at nearby enemies. For this reason, it is best to place them on units that, in addition to attack damage, also have high attack speed so that you can inflict the most damage on enemy units. Jinx has a fast auto attack and fires a bolt with each attack, dealing damage each time.

3. Eternal whispers

• Physical harm 30% Tears the goal for the rest of the fight. This effect does not stack.
  • Best item holders:
    • Aphelios
    • As he
    • Jayce
    • Xayah
    • Hex

In Set 9.5 there are many tank champions with a lot of magic resistance, so Eternal Whisper is a perfect item for champions who exclusively deal a lot of physical damage coupled with attack speed and use this item most efficiently. Aphelios attacks pretty quickly. So if you equip him with this item, he can destroy many enemies effectively and quickly.

2. Rogue Gloves

• Each round: Equip 2 random radiant items.
  • Best item holders:
    • Jayce
    • Gangplank
    • Ekko
    • Vi
    • Sion

What’s better than a Radiant item? Two of you. I recommend using Rogue Gloves on champions who are already strong or benefit from their abilities like damage and speed at the same time. Gangplank is a champion that has different abilities depending on whether you place him in the front or back two rows. For this reason, he becomes much more versatile when you equip him with Rascal’s Gloves.

1. Blessed Bloodthirster

• Win 40% Omnivampand once per battle: At 40% health, you gain a shield with a maximum of 40% health that lasts up to 5 seconds.
  • Best item holders:
    • Aatrox
    • Fiora
    • Nilah
    • Bel’Veth
    • Neeko

Blessed Bloodthirster works best on higher cost champions that already heal or have a shield due to their abilities or synergies, giving you a champion that never dies and deals consistent damage. A champion like Aatrox already has Omnivamp and giving him the Blessed Bloodthirster will only make him stronger.

There are many more Radiant items in TFT’s Set 9.5, and I recommend you check out all of them. Since not only champions are buffed and nerfed every day, the point of Radiant items is to be a better version of their regular counterparts. Regardless of what you choose, a Radiant item will go a long way toward achieving a top spot.
