Shrink Ray ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

"Shrink Ray": Fire a shrink ray on skill hit, reducing enemy AD, AP, and size for 3 seconds. A神器 for countering frontliners and carries.

"Ray: Core effect: After hitting an enemy champion with an ability, fires a ray that shrinks the target by 30% for 3 seconds\nAttribute reduction: While shrunk, the target's attack damage and ability power are reduced by 20%\nPenetration effect: The ray pierces the first target and affects another enemy within 200 range\nCooldown: Each target can only be shrunk once every 5 seconds\nLimitation: Cannot shrink epic monsters or towers

All active ability damage (AD and AP abilities), item ability damage (Luden's, Ice Gauntlet, Trinity Force), summoned unit ability damage (Annie's bear, Malzahar's Voidling)

Shrink Ray: Basic attacks (including enhanced attacks), each tick of damage-over-time skills, true damage skills, healing and shield effects

Shrink Ray: Shrunk enemies have 10% reduced auto attack range and skill range. Cooldown is calculated per target. Attribute reduction is multiplicative, higher base stats mean larger absolute reduction. Ray cannot be dodged, only avoided by untargetable state.

Shrinking Ray: Multi-skill champions (Jinx, Viktor, Brand), AoE mages (Morgana, Kennen, Galio), champions with short cooldowns, control-focused supports

Shrinking Ray: Basic attack ADCs (Vayne, Jinx, Draven) Pure burst assassins (Zed, Talon, Akali) Pure tank heroes Heroes with very long ability cooldowns

Shrinking Ray: Prioritize hitting enemy carries and frontliners with skills to reduce their damage. Try to hit multiple enemies with skills to trigger multiple shrinking effects. Focus target immediately after shrinking to exploit the damage reduction window. Stack Ability Haste for more frequent Shrinking Ray procs. Use reduced auto-attack range advantage for kiting.

Shrink Ray + Deft + Typhoon: Shrink Ray's on-hit damage reduction requires frequent basic attacks to maintain its defensive debuff. Deft provides 60% bonus attack speed, enabling rapid stack refreshes. Typhoon launches additional Firecrackers on each attack that also apply on-hit effects, spreading Shrink Ray's damage reduction to multiple enemies simultaneously during chaotic ARAM teamfights. Shrink Ray + Twice Thrice + Goredrink: Twice Thrice causes every third basic attack to apply on-hit effects at 150% effectiveness, amplifying Shrink Ray's damage reduction impact on priority targets. Goredrink's 15% omnivamp synergizes with the extended survivability from reducing enemy damage output, allowing sustained frontline presence in the narrow ARAM lane. Shrink Ray + Tap Dancer + Heavy Hitter: Tap Dancer grants stacking movement speed on-hit and converts movement speed to attack speed, enabling rapid Shrink Ray applications while maintaining mobility. Heavy Hitter adds bonus physical damage based on maximum health, rewarding the extended fights that Shrink Ray's damage reduction enables. Shrink Ray + Dual Wield: Dual Wield causes basic attacks to launch an additional bolt that applies on-hit effects at 40% effectiveness, effectively multiplying Shrink Ray applications by 1.4 times per attack. This spreads the damage reduction debuff more efficiently across clustered enemy teams in ARAM's constant teamfight environment.

Avoid Shrink Ray + Back to Basics: Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, which severely limits your champion's overall power and playmaking potential. Shrink Ray provides defensive utility through basic attacks, but this pairing forces you into a restricted playstyle that loses access to a major champion mechanic, making it a fundamentally conflicting and weak combination. Avoid Shrink Ray + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from affecting your attack rate. Shrink Ray requires consistent basic attacks to apply and refresh its damage reduction debuff, so being locked at a fixed slow attack speed directly undermines the augment's core functionality. Avoid Shrink Ray + Celestial Body: Celestial Body reduces your damage output by 10%, which directly conflicts with Shrink Ray's purpose of enabling extended trades through damage reduction. Since Shrink Ray is already a defensive utility augment with a below-average win rate, further reducing your damage output creates a poor combination that lacks offensive pressure. Avoid Shrink Ray + Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn: Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn reduces your basic attack damage against champions by 50%, which severely undermines Shrink Ray's on-hit trigger mechanism. Since Shrink Ray requires you to consistently hit enemies with basic attacks to apply and maintain its debuff, halving your attack damage makes this pairing inefficient and weak.

Narrow Beam: Don't take on auto-attack only champions: cannot trigger Narrow Beam, completely zero benefit. Don't ignore penetration: try to hit multiple enemies with abilities. Don't use abilities on the same target while on cooldown: wastes abilities. Don't forget enemy attack range reduction: use this for kiting. Note the 3-second duration: finish kills within this window.
