What Not to Pair with Blunt Force

Avoid Blunt Force + ADAPt: This pairing creates a severe mechanical conflict. ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power, completely negating Blunt Force's 20% AD increase. The flat AD bonus is lost in the conversion, making Blunt Force provide zero value. Avoid this pairing because the core stat you are trying to amplify gets removed entirely. Avoid Blunt Force + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from working. While it converts attack speed to AD, it removes the attack speed scaling that many AD champions rely on to utilize their increased attack damage. This fundamentally conflicts with attack-damage-focused playstyles. Avoid Blunt Force + Celestial Body: Celestial Body reduces your total damage output by 10%, which directly counteracts the offensive purpose of Blunt Force's 20% AD increase. The net damage gain is significantly diminished, and the playstyle shifts toward tankiness rather than maximizing the attack damage stat you are building. Avoid Blunt Force + Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn: Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn reduces your basic attack damage against champions by 50%, which severely undermines the value of increased attack damage. Blunt Force is designed to amplify basic attack and physical damage output, but this augment cuts that damage in half, creating poor synergy.
