There is no benefit or penalty to combining two component Shadow Items. If both components are Shadow Items the resulting combination will be a Shadow Item as well. For instance, in making a Shadow Spear of Shojin (aka the Spectral Spear of Shojin), either the Tear of the Goddess or BF Sword can be a Shadow Item to get the proper upgrade. It does not matter which component item has the Shadow effect on it, as combining one Shadow and one regular item will make the upgraded item a Shadow Item. Players can either get a Shadow Item through regular means (the carousel or a Draconic egg), but the most common way is for a player to combine a Shadow component with another item to get the completed Shadow Item. The Shadow bonus and penalty only apply to combined items.

The stats a Shadow component gives are the same as the regular version of that component item.

It should be noted that, while component items can have this outline, they are not technically Shadow Items because they only give raw stats. These are Shadow Items, which give the extra boost to their power, for a price.

On the carousel or in the armory (another new mechanic added where players will get to choose one of a selection of items for free before the second round of the stage) certain items will have a green outline on the item frame. Going into Set 5, it’s imperative that players know how Shadow Items work and which ones are the best to use. When used incorrectly, however, the items can end up hurting their user. When used properly, Shadow Items can be far better than the regular version of the item. Shadow Items give users a more powerful version of the item they know but at a cost.Įach Shadow Item has some drawback that also gives an inherent risk to using it. In Set 5, Riot has upped the ante to introduce a new mechanic that powers up items. Set 4 of Teamfight Tactics had a signature mechanic, Chosen, which empowered a single unit to make it and one of its traits more powerful.
