ADAPt ARAM: Mayhem combos

[Hard to scale] Fiddle's Q deals % max-HP magic damage, doubled on feared targets. At 1467 AP, one fear+Q = 100% max HP. Forge: AD (with Adapt) > AP > magic pen. Hide in bush, one Q scares them dead.

Gragas W gives AP-scaling % damage reduction with a 2.5s invuln after channel. At 2050 AP, 100% reduction. But you have to spend the empowered auto before recasting W, so there's a downtime gap — not perma. Forge: AD (with Adapt) > AP > HP > resists.

Use Ryze's passive AP-mana cross-scaling with specific items and hexes to loop mana/HP/AD conversions for infinite stat growth. Must take Adapt + Mind to Matter; Ryze lacks mobility, so don't sell boots without MS hexes; vs tanks build Void Staff; multiple Tear items stack slowly — pace your farm.

Circle of Death converts heal into magic damage; Trynd Q has huge AP scaling — late Q hits 3000+ damage, deletes squishies. Stack AP and magic pen. Forge: AP > magic pen > MS. Stack fury before Q'ing; CoD has 1000 range, get close.

Lich Bane post-ability gives 50% AS, converted by Slow and Steady to AD, then converted to AP via Adapt.

Magic.

With Adapt, 1 AD → 1.6 AP — prioritize AD in forge. Late, huge AP + huge HP makes R's execute threshold massive.

Left foot on right foot.

Convert Graves's massive AP into bonus physical on-hit via Marksmage. His autos fire 4 pellets, each triggering independently — one auto = +300% AP. Late-game with Ruined King pellets become 6 for 4.5x AP scaling. Only viable when first hex is Marksmage; otherwise pure AD outperforms. Bonus damage is physical, so Black Cleaver is core late.

Use Dusk and Dawn's all-around stats (AP, HP, haste, AS) with Jax's E and R AP scaling for instant Mayhem clears. Combo: E up, leap-strike Q in, manually drop E for the stun, R + W to dump damage; Zhonya's covers the long CD.

Use Ethereal Weapon so abilities carry on-hit + Dusk and Dawn's Sheen damage — evolved W detonates 5 plasma stacks at long range. Must evolve W; vs tank teams swap Shadowflame for Void Staff; if you want to evolve E, grab Berserker's Greaves.

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

Ascension combo.

Smug emperor — stack Heartsteel to bait enemies.

Without Adapt. Just 2.

Ascend.

Ascended Ryze. Operation + luck = win.

Ascended Ryze.

Take hex, build item. Hex-heavy build — learn the candy trick.

Void Rift ascends. Perfect synergy.

Just stack damage — with enough stats, even Sona QA deletes targets.

Forge: max crit damage to cap.

For Mejai's stack lineups — Heartsteel + Goliath/Tank Engine makes tongue reach across the screen, Q chunks stack-snipers half HP. Since stacks are plentiful, don't aggressively stack HP — Heartsteel is just for size.

Master of Duality + Adapt — W's AP scaling enables tank deletes; high AS pairs perfectly with Marksmage stacks, with double-pen Lethal Tempo bonus. Autos benefit from Marksmage's AP scaling; build Runaan's for fast MoD stacks. W passive's AP-scaling on-hit also scales with this build's AS.

Convert HP to AP via Adapt + Riftmaker for a closed loop — more HP = more AP. Goliath, Dropkick, Eureka all work — Adapt is core; Heartsteel and Tank Engine are bonuses.

Stack Heartsteel for infinite HP growth, then convert via Overlord's Bloodmail, Riftmaker, and Vlad's passive into AD and AP, paired with Adapt and Tank Engine for explosive stats — late, AP easily hits 10000. Requires Adapt + Heartsteel — don't play without them. Once online, with Bloodmail and Rabadon's, two empowered Q's delete a 10k-HP Mundo.

Q and W both register as on-attack effects, so Master of Duality stacks fast — passive converts AP into attack speed, snowballing harder the longer the fight runs. Forge: lethality > MS > resists > HP.

Recall is core — fits Slap Around and Shrink Engine. Slap Around's adaptive force gives 10 AP per W. Watch recall timing.

With Adapt active, build Axiom Arc to reduce R's CD.

Liandry's Anguish boosts Lillia's tick rate via ability damage amp, CDR, and HP — full uptime upgrade. If you're mana-hungry, swap to Archangel's.

Use Marksmage to convert Thresh's infinite passive AP (via souls) into 75% bonus physical on autos. Combined with E passive's soul-based bonus magic damage and item on-hits, it's a triple-mixed-damage hit — melts squishies and tanks alike. Thresh's passive permanently gives AP and armor, so Marksmage scales endlessly. Stack souls + AS + AP.
