Ethereal Weapon ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

"Phantom Weapon": Basic attacks have chance to deal bonus magic damage and ignore some armor. A hybrid damage神器 for auto-attackers.

"Phantom Weapon: Core effect: Basic attacks have 30% chance to deal bonus magic damage and ignore 30% target armor\nBase damage: 20-80 magic damage (scales with level)\ stat bonus: Bonus damage gains 40% attack damage and 40% ability power\nArmor penetration: Ignores 30% target armor (percentage penetration)\nCooldown: No cooldown, chance on each basic attack\nRestriction: Only affects basic attacks, enhanced basic attacks can trigger

All basic attacks (including enhanced attacks) Pet basic attacks

Skill damage Item skill damage Healing/shield effects Tower/minion attacks True damage attacks

"Phantom Weapon: Probability independent: Each basic attack's proc chance is independent, doesn't stack\nPenetration priority: Phantom Weapon's armor penetration is calculated after all other armor penetration\nMixed damage: Bonus magic damage is calculated separately from physical damage, enemies need both armor and MR to resist\nCrit compatibility: Bonus magic damage can crit, dealing 175% damage\nEffect triggering: Bonus magic damage can trigger on-hit effects (e.g., Blade of the Ruined King, Black Cleaver)

"Phantom Weapon: High attack speed marksmen (Vayne, Jinx, Kai'Sa) Auto-attack fighters (Tryndamere, Olaf, Xin Zhao) Jungle champions (Master Yi, Lee Sin, Jarvan IV) Hybrid champions (Ezreal, Jayce, Kennen)

Phantom Weapon: Ability-based mage (Jinx, Vel'Koz, Ziggs) Pure support (Soraka, Karma, Nami) Pure tank (Alistar, Leona, Ornn) High CD champions

Phantom Weapon: Prioritize attack speed: higher attack speed increases Phantom Weapon proc frequency. Build attack damage and ability power: both increase extra damage. Build armor penetration:配合 Phantom Weapon's armor penetration, makes killing tanks easier. Utilize mixed damage: enemies struggle to stack both armor and magic resist. Stay in the backline during team fights: avoid focused fire.

Ethereal Weapon + Jeweled Gauntlet: Ethereal Weapon enables abilities to apply on-hit effects, and Jeweled Gauntlet allows abilities to critically strike. Together, your ability hits can both crit and trigger on-hit effects, massively amplifying damage output for AP casters who normally cannot access on-hit synergies. Ethereal Weapon + Typhoon: Ethereal Weapon makes abilities apply on-hit effects, while Typhoon causes basic attacks to launch Firecrackers that also apply on-hit effects. This creates a cascading damage loop where abilities trigger on-hits, and attacks fire additional projectiles that each benefit from on-hit modifiers. Ethereal Weapon + Magic Missile: Ethereal Weapon allows abilities to apply on-hit effects, and Magic Missile fires 3 Firecrackers at enemies hit by abilities. Each Firecracker can trigger on-hit effects, tripling the value of every ability cast and creating devastating burst combinations. Ethereal Weapon + Erosion: Ethereal Weapon enables abilities to apply on-hit effects, and Erosion shreds enemy resistances with each damage instance. Since abilities can now hit multiple times through on-hit application, you rapidly stack the 30% resistance reduction, exponentially increasing your damage output. Ethereal Weapon + Twice Thrice: Ethereal Weapon allows abilities to apply on-hit effects, and Twice Thrice makes every second basic attack apply on-hit effects at 150% effectiveness. This combination ensures both your abilities and empowered attacks consistently trigger valuable on-hit damage modifiers.

Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static 0.625 and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Ethereal Weapon applies on-hit effects through abilities, but the complete loss of attack speed scaling severely limits your overall damage output and on-hit trigger potential. Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Double Tap: Avoid this pairing because Double Tap applies on-hit effects an additional time on critical strikes, but Ethereal Weapon already applies on-hit effects through abilities with a 1 second cooldown per target. The critical strike on-hit application becomes largely redundant since ability-based on-hit triggers are already available. Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Typhoon: Avoid this pairing because Typhoon triggers on basic attacks to launch Firecrackers that apply on-hit effects. Ethereal Weapon's ability-based on-hit application has a 1 second per-target cooldown, making the additional on-hit trigger from Typhoon's passive largely redundant and offering minimal extra value. Avoid Ethereal Weapon + Twice Thrice: Avoid this pairing because Twice Thrice applies on-hit effects again at 150% effectiveness on every third basic attack. Ethereal Weapon already enables on-hit application through abilities, making the additional basic attack on-hit stacking mechanism redundant and an inefficient use of an augment slot.

Phantom Weapon: Don't pick for ability-only heroes: completely unable to trigger effects Don't only stack attack damage: AP also boosts extra damage, balance both Don't ignore armor penetration: helps against tanks more effectively Don't build too much crit: low crit multiplier benefit, focus attack speed and damage Note personal safety: physical damage dealers are fragile, watch positioning
