OK Boomerang ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Boomerang Blade: Your non-targeted abilities return after hitting an enemy, dealing secondary damage to enemies along the path. A damage rune for poke champions.

Boomerang OK: Core effect: After a non-targeted skill hits an enemy, it returns along its original path, dealing 50% damage to enemies in its path. Scope: Includes all non-targeted skills and item skills. Special effect: Returning skills can trigger on-hit effects and rune effects. Cooldown rule: Each skill can only trigger the return effect once. Multi-target effect: When hitting multiple enemies on return, each enemy takes damage.

All non-targeted abilities hit enemy champions Equipment abilities (like Luden's Tempest) hit enemy champions Returning abilities hit enemy champions

Targeted skills Basic attacks Each tick of damage over time skills

Returning Orb: Returning abilities can trigger Sheen's critical strike effect Returning abilities can trigger Liandry's Torment burn effect When an ability hits multiple enemies, it only returns once Returning effect also works on minions and jungle monsters

Boomerang: Poke champions (Ziggs, Jayce, Jinx) Mages with many non-targeted abilities (Jinx, Lux, Viktor) Champions with weak wave clear

Boomerang: Heroes with many targeted abilities (Annie, Malzahar, Annie) Melee champions (Darius, Jax, Riven) ADC champions (Vayne, Jinx, Draven)

Boomerang: Try to have your skills pass through multiple enemies to maximize total damage Use the return effect to clear waves, one skill can clear a wave In team fights, aim for enemy groups so the skill returns and hits more enemies When poking, you can damage multiple enemies at once

OK Boomerang + Vulnerability: OK Boomerang's automatic adaptive damage can critically strike with Vulnerability, transforming a reliable 10-second cooldown poke ability into devastating burst damage. The 25% critical strike chance from Vulnerability gives frequent opportunities for 145% damage boomerangs. This synergy works on any champion regardless of build, making it universally strong in ARAM's constant teamfights. OK Boomerang + Jeweled Gauntlet: Jeweled Gauntlet enables OK Boomerang's automatic casts to critically strike for 145% damage plus bonus critical damage. The built-in 25% critical strike chance scales with AP, benefiting mages who also gain from Boomerang's 20% AP ratio. This transforms the passive poke into high-damage burst that triggers automatically without player input. OK Boomerang + Erosion: Erosion's resistance reduction stacks on each Boomerang hit, and since the ability can hit multiple enemies in its path, it rapidly shreds armor and magic resistance for your entire team. The 30% maximum resistance reduction amplifies all subsequent damage from both you and allies, creating excellent teamfight value in ARAM's clustered engagements. OK Boomerang + Thread the Needle: Thread the Needle's 18% armor and magic penetration directly amplifies OK Boomerang's adaptive damage, ensuring the automatic casts deal near-true damage to squishy targets. Since Boomerang hits multiple enemies in a line, the penetration value applies to everyone struck, making this a reliable damage multiplier for the passive ability's poke pattern.

Avoid OK Boomerang + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because OK Boomerang scales with 30% bonus AD, but Slow and Steady converts all bonus attack speed into bonus AD while locking your attack speed at 0.625. Since OK Boomerang is an automatically triggered ability on a 10-second cooldown, it cannot benefit from the attack speed you sacrifice, wasting the core trade-off of Slow and Steady. Avoid OK Boomerang + Draw Your Sword: Avoid this pairing because Draw Your Sword forces you to become melee with 200 attack range, but OK Boomerang automatically targets the closest enemy champion within 1250 units. Being forced into melee range contradicts the poke playstyle OK Boomerang enables, and the augment's damage output does not meaningfully benefit from the melee-specific stat bonuses. Avoid OK Boomerang + Celestial Body: Avoid this pairing because Celestial Body reduces your damage output by 10%, which directly lowers OK Boomerang's adaptive damage. The 1500 bonus health is a poor trade-off for an augment that functions as a poke tool, since OK Boomerang provides no defensive utility or scaling that would justify the damage penalty. Avoid OK Boomerang + Bread And Butter: Avoid this pairing because Bread And Butter grants 100 ability haste to your Q ability, but OK Boomerang is an independent automated effect with a fixed 10-second cooldown that does not interact with your champion's basic abilities. The ability haste is completely wasted on a trigger that functions separately from your kit. Avoid OK Boomerang + Dashing: Avoid this pairing because Dashing grants 175 ability haste to abilities with dashes or blinks, but OK Boomerang is an automatically cast projectile with no movement component. The massive ability haste bonus provides zero benefit to this augment, making it a severely inefficient stat investment.

Returning Star: Don't assume targeted skills can trigger the return effect Don't ignore the 50% damage reduction on return skills Don't forget the effect on minions, significantly improves wave clear Pay attention to the return path, try to hit as many enemies as possible
