New and reworked TFT Set 6.5 traits

A total of two Set Six Gizmos & Gadgets traits were reworked. And five new TFT Set 6.5 traits were added to Neon Nights. 

Hextech (2/4/6/8}

At the start of combat and every few seconds thereafter, the Hexcore sends out a pulse that grants a 350 four-second shield.

Debonair (3/5/7)

Set 6.5 TFT Debonair champions gain bonus health and ability power that increases at breakpoints 3/5/7. If there is a Debonair VIP in play, they activate their unique bonus. Players can also sell the old VIP for a chance to see a new one appear in the shop. 

Players can pick up a VIP champion from the shop but its VIP status isn’t activated until the Debonair trait becomes active at three. To find a new VIP Debonair, players must first sell the old one. Having at least three Debonair units on the battlefield increases the odds of a VIP showing up in the shop.
