What Not to Pair with Infernal Conduit

Bad augment synergies and pairings to avoid

Avoid

Avoid Infernal Conduit + Back to Basics

Avoid this pairing because Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, yet Infernal Conduit's burn cooldown reduction specifically benefits basic abilities. You lose access to a powerful tool while gaining only marginal benefit from the burn effect, making this an extremely inefficient trade-off that severely limits your champion's full potential.

Avoid Infernal Conduit + Slow and Steady

Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Infernal Conduit scales with bonus AD and AP for ability-based burn damage, but the attack speed conversion to AD cannot compensate for the lost synergy with rapid ability casting.

Avoid Infernal Conduit + Firebrand

Avoid this pairing because Firebrand applies burn only through basic attacks, while Infernal Conduit applies burn through ability hits. These are separate trigger mechanisms that do not interact or stack meaningfully together. You gain two different burn sources but waste an augment slot on redundant damage-over-time effects.

Avoid Infernal Conduit + Purist - Caster

Avoid this pairing because Purist - Caster converts all bonus attack speed into ability haste, but Infernal Conduit already provides cooldown reduction through its burn ticks. The conversion provides diminishing returns since both effects reduce cooldowns, and you lose the attack speed stat entirely for minimal additional benefit.

Avoid Infernal Conduit + Celestial Body

Avoid this pairing because Celestial Body reduces your damage output by 10%, which directly diminishes Infernal Conduit's burn damage that scales with your AD and AP. The massive health bonus does not compensate for the reduced burn effectiveness, making your primary damage augment significantly weaker throughout the match.
