Q's multi-hits all benefit from Vulnerable's amp — damage is absurd.

Champion Combos with Mad Scientist
Pyke passive converts 14 HP into 1 AD; Goliath gives 35% HP and 15% AD, so 8 HP = 1 AD — late, 1000+ AD easy. R scales with both AD and lethality — full-HP squishies are in execute range.
Renata's passive marks enemies; ally damage consumes the mark for % max-HP magic damage. At 600 AP, hits 14% max HP. Stack AP for damage and AS for marking frequency. Damage is attributed to Renata, so magic-pen forge works.
0.
Ascension combo (go big).
Smug emperor — stack Heartsteel to bait enemies.
Void Rift ascends. Perfect synergy.
In Mayhem, Sett's W stores up to 35% max HP in grit. W damage scales with grit cap and AD, so stack HP and AD — late, you one-shot. Forge: AD > HP > MS. E pulls both sides together; if both sides have at least one unit (minions count), it stuns — wait for full grit, EW guaranteed.
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.
Nobody can resist the joy of getting bigger.
Q is AoE — each enemy hit reduces CD, so once Mystic Punch lands you have infinite Q.
Stack CDR and plant shrooms everywhere.
R deals % magic damage — level 3 base is 30%, +16% at 800 AP, and 3500 AP hits 100% max HP.
Immortal AP Xin Zhao.
Damage is huge but fragile.
