What Not to Pair with Symphony of War

Avoid Symphony of War + Slow and Steady: Symphony of War grants Lethal Tempo which provides massive bonus attack speed on stacking, but Slow and Steady completely nullifies all attack speed bonuses by setting base attack speed to a static value. This hard mechanical conflict wastes the primary value of one of the two keystone runes you paid for. Avoid Symphony of War + Back to Basics: Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, which severely limits champion options. While Symphony of War provides strong basic-attack keystones, the ultimate restriction is a massive drawback that conflicts with many champions' play patterns and reduces overall build flexibility. Avoid Symphony of War + Purist - Caster: Purist - Caster converts all bonus attack speed into ability haste, which directly anti-synergizes with Lethal Tempo's stacking attack speed mechanic. You lose the keystone's primary benefit while gaining a stat conversion that provides diminishing returns on a rune designed for auto-attackers. Avoid Symphony of War + ADAPt: ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power, which conflicts with Conqueror's adaptive force stacking that rewards sustained physical damage dealers. This conversion shifts your build toward AP scaling while your keystones are optimized for extended basic-attack trades and AD ratios.
