LucianS+ Tier ComboUse Jeweled Gauntlet so the ult crits; pair with Vulnerable and Infinity Edge for multiplicative damage — full ult clears the screen. Vulnerable, Jeweled Gauntlet, and IE multiply together. If the enemy has lots of mobility, build Serylda's for the slow to land more ult ticks.
GravesA Tier ComboBurst targets to create Tooth Fairy Teeth, collect the permanent penetration, then connect Jeweled Gauntlet to Critical Missile. Axiom Arc supports repeated Collateral Damage casts after takedowns; the near-300 lethality result is a high roll, not the baseline.
UdyrS+ Tier ComboUdyr's awakened R deals max-HP magic damage — stack AP and melt enemies with % damage. Drop awakened R right in the pile.
AatroxS Tier ComboJeweled Gauntlet bloodlust build. Don't play without first-hex Jeweled Gauntlet — tanky and damaging.
AmbessaS Tier ComboUse Hubris's stacking AD with Bloodthirster's tenacity + omnivamp + Death's Dance's bleed-spread. Ambessa procs shields constantly, mitigating DD bleed — extreme dueler with huge tolerance.
AsheS Tier ComboUlt has high AP scaling and deals magic damage.
BrandS Tier ComboOnce you grab Vulnerable, use it so item DoTs (Liandry's, Rylai's, etc.) and abilities crit. Add Jeweled Gauntlet's 45% crit chance for 70% total — DoTs become real damage. Shadowflame doubles up the crit. Once Vulnerable lands, go double-DoT: Shadowflame + Vulnerable doubles up crit damage on abilities.
CaitlynS Tier ComboJeweled Gauntlet amps ability damage — armor-pen build is huge.
+Based on S16 crit changes — Smolder's Q gains crit chance and crit damage. Build around Essence Reaver + Infinity Edge for huge % damage late. Currently weak early, so farm to 225 stacks safely; pick up defense if needed; with Jeweled Gauntlet etc., quality jumps massively.
