Back To Basics

Graves' auto attacks benefit from Back To Basics.

Each barrel chain adds 35% damage, scaling exponentially.

Must-pick in strong games. The damage amp is insane.

Looks trap, but Zed's damage actually comes from Q and E — skipping R just means losing a dash (intentional).

Max damage build using Blade Waltz invuln for full damage uptime. Engage with E then Waltz; pick AD/crit damage forge, top up crit chance with shards if you're under cap.

Back to Basics massively boosts Q damage — paired with other damage amp hexes, Q hits like a truck.

Shen's Q empowers his next 3 autos with % max-HP magic damage that scales with AP. Lvl 18 base is 4%; with Q's spirit blade hitting an enemy, it goes to 7% — three autos = 21% max HP. At 400 AP, three autos hit 45% max HP. Spirit-blade pull positioning is huge — hit-vs-miss roughly doubles damage.

Rumble's Q and R are extremely high-frequency DoTs. With Jeweled Gauntlet + Vulnerable + Infinity Edge + Shadowflame, each burn tick gets amplified 7.17x — annihilates even tanks. As an AP champion, Jeweled Gauntlet's AP-to-crit ratio is excellent — late, you hit full crit without crit items.

Mystic Punch enables infinite Q; Dusk and Dawn lets Q proc Sheen, so it's perfect for players who can't barrel-chain — just max Q.

80% of GP's damage comes from barrels (E), which the system treats as zero-MS enemy targets. When firing barrels, he gains MS and slows enemies, opening up a huge MS gap and locking E into its 40% damage cap. Post-explosion bonus MS keeps the gap up for sustained huge damage.

Q is AoE — each enemy hit reduces CD, so once Mystic Punch lands you have infinite Q.

Late-game 5000-HP shield — insane. Don't cast R — it reduces resists and shrinks the shield.

Back to Basics gives huge AD — go full armor pen + crit and W deletes squishies.

Immortal AP Xin Zhao.

Left foot on right foot.

Use Q for huge damage. Standard AP build, no heavy hex reliance; with Cruelty, build Stormsurge first.

Just roam. No tricks, just go.

Amp Q damage.

Mandatory: Vulnerable + Executioner. With Bork, jump anyone — they die; no front-line concept, squishies vaporized. Hexes must have Vulnerable + Executioner; flex rest. Back to Basics and Clown College are huge prismatic upgrades; gold Upgrade Infinity Edge / Vampirism / Transmute Chaos / Soul Siphon all great; silver Adapt / Upgrade Collector / Big Hits / Brute Force / Bloodlust are also solid. Items: Hubris start, then Bork, then Death's Dance, pick from Liandry's / Black Cleaver / Eclipse / Bloodthirster.

Brutal. Just don't whiff Q.

Solid damage and haste boost, but you lose R's safety. Compensate with Shadow Runner, Executioner, Guilty Pleasure, or Escape Plan.

Use Quantum Computing's huge center-zone physical damage with Pantheon's W (Shield Vault) directional dash to drop enemies into the burst zone. With his ult's passive % armor pen plus lethality items, Quantum Computing can full-HP shred. Flash or Snowball into W to land the target in the 4x center-damage area.

Sion's fully-charged Q hits like a truck; pair with damage hexes for absurd burst. Only try this when the enemy lacks reliable CC.

E has high AP ratios — core idea is using E's burst as your damage. Even on AP, rend stays physical, so build armor pen.
