What Not to Pair with Shrink Ray

Bad augment synergies and pairings to avoid

Avoid

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.
