FiddlesticksS+ Tier Combo[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.
FioraS+ Tier Combo[Hard to assemble] Heartsteel + Tank Engine stack infinite HP, Overlord's Bloodmail converts HP into AD. With Fiora's passive, around 2500 AD a single vital procs 100% max-HP true damage.
GragasS+ Tier ComboGragas 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.
MelS Tier ComboQ's multi-hits all benefit from Vulnerable's amp — damage is absurd.
PykeS Tier ComboPyke 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 GlascS Tier ComboRenata'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.
