From Start to Finish: Single-target burst assassins (like Zed, Talon, Akali) Single-target ADC champions (like Vayne, Draven) Jungle champions Champions with high single-target damage skills

AOE mages Pure tank champions Pure support champions Champions who rely on sustained damage

From Start to Finish: Try to delete enemies with one combo: make first and last damage hit simultaneously Don't switch targets often: it resets the first damage counter Use high-damage skills first on single targets to get first damage bonus Don't chase if enemy isn't killed within 5 seconds: last damage has already triggered

From Beginning to End + Jeweled Gauntlet: First Strike grants bonus gold on first hits while Dark Harvest executes low-health enemies. Jeweled Gauntlet enables abilities to critically strike, allowing both keystones to proc on ability damage with amplified impact. The critical strike chance also scales with AP, maximizing burst windows during ARAM teamfights. From Beginning to End + Executioner: Dark Harvest triggers on enemies below 50% health, while Executioner amplifies damage by 10% against targets below 30% health and resets basic ability cooldowns on takedowns. This creates a snowballing execution cycle where Dark Harvest stacks accumulate rapidly through repeated takedowns. From Beginning to End + Thread the Needle: Both Dark Harvest and First Strike benefit from penetration since Dark Harvest deals adaptive damage and First Strike amplifies all damage dealt. The 18% armor and magic penetration ensures keystones hit harder against tanky compositions common in ARAM's narrow lane teamfights. From Beginning to End + Magic Missile: Magic Missile fires Firecrackers on ability hits, dealing percentage max health true damage. First Strike amplifies this damage during its bonus window, while Dark Harvest can proc on the same ability hits against low-health targets. The combination creates devastating burst chains. From Beginning to End + Vampirism: Vampirism provides 25% omnivamp, enabling aggressive First Strike trades with sustained healing. Dark Harvest execution damage also benefits from omnivamp healing. The combination allows risky engage patterns typical of ARAM while maintaining health through damage conversion.

Avoid From Beginning to End + Symphony of War: From Beginning to End grants Dark Harvest and First Strike, while Symphony of War grants Conqueror and Lethal Tempo. Players can only equip one keystone rune at a time, meaning two of the four keystones become completely unusable. This pairing wastes significant value by providing redundant rune options that cannot stack or coexist. Avoid From Beginning to End + Keystone Conjurer: From Beginning to End grants Dark Harvest and First Strike, while Keystone Conjurer grants Arcane Comet and Summon Aery. Since only one keystone rune can be active at a time, this pairing guarantees that two keystones are entirely wasted. The overlap provides no additional benefit and severely diminishes the value of both augments. Avoid From Beginning to End + Impassable: From Beginning to End grants Dark Harvest and First Strike, while Impassable grants Aftershock and Glacial Augment. Players can only select one keystone, so this combination guarantees that two keystones provide zero value. This pairing is highly inefficient and should be avoided due to the hard mechanical limitation on rune slots. Avoid From Beginning to End + Cerberus: From Beginning to End grants Dark Harvest and First Strike, while Cerberus grants Hail of Blades and Press the Attack. With only one keystone rune slot available, this pairing forces the player to discard two of the four keystones entirely. The redundant rune provision creates substantial waste and anti-synergy.

From Start to Finish: Don't switch targets frequently it wastes the initial damage bonus. Don't ignore the high damage bonus of the final hit. Don't pick this on AoE champions the benefit is minimal. Note the 5-second judgment window after 5 seconds, the final damage bonus triggers.
