Tap Dancer ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Tap Dance: After moving a certain distance, the next basic attack deals bonus damage and knocks up enemies, a control-and-damage Rune for mobile champions.

"Tap Dance: Core Effect: Gain 1 stack of 'Tap Dance' every 500 distance moved, max 3 stacks\nConsumption effect: Consume 1 stack to deal 50-150 bonus physical damage and knock up enemies for 0.5 seconds on next basic attack\nStat scaling: Bonus damage receives 50% attack damage scaling Stack retention: Stacks are lost on death Knock up effect works on all enemies

Tap Dance: All movement methods (walking, dashing, displacing) All basic attacks (including empowered attacks)

Tap Dance: Enemy forced displacement, Teleport/Recall, Skill damage, Item skill damage

Tapping: Movement distance is cumulative: Doesn't require continuous movement Knockup effect can interrupt enemy abilities Extra damage can crit Stacks can be retained out of combat

Tap Dance: High mobility champions (like Ezreal, Lillia, Hecarim) Assassin champions Jungle champions ADCs with mobility skills

Pure tank champions Pure support champions Champions without mobility abilities Champions who rely on ability damage

The Kick Dance: Use mobility spells to stack quickly: one movement can stack multiple times Engage after stacking 3 times: can knock up 3 enemies consecutively Use knock-up to interrupt enemy key abilities Combine with high-damage autos: maximize extra damage

Tap Dancer + Deft + Lightning Strikes: Tap Dancer grants attack speed equal to 10% of total movement speed, while Deft provides 60% bonus attack speed and Lightning Strikes increases all attack speed gains by 20%. The stacking movement speed from basic attacks feeds into more attack speed, creating exponential scaling that makes you attack incredibly fast while becoming nearly impossible to catch. Tap Dancer + Dual Wield: Dual Wield makes basic attacks launch an additional bolt that applies on-hit effects at 40% effectiveness and increases total attack speed by 25%. Combined with Tap Dancer's infinite movement speed stacking and attack speed conversion, each attack triggers multiple on-hits while you become progressively faster and attack faster throughout extended fights. Tap Dancer + Draw Your Sword: Draw Your Sword grants 25% bonus movement speed and 25% bonus attack speed for melee champions. Tap Dancer's infinite movement speed stacking synergizes perfectly with the flat movement speed bonus, and the attack speed conversion multiplies with Draw Your Sword's attack speed for devastating auto-attack damage output. Tap Dancer + Giant Slayer: Giant Slayer grants 20% bonus movement speed and bonus damage against larger enemies. Tap Dancer's infinite movement speed stacking from basic attacks combines with this flat speed for even faster attacks, while the size-based damage bonus rewards aggressive play in ARAM's constant teamfights where you become increasingly mobile. Tap Dancer + Deft + Typhoon: Deft's 60% attack speed combines with Tap Dancer's movement speed to attack speed conversion. Typhoon adds a Firecracker to basic attacks that applies on-hit effects, benefiting from the high attack speed while triggering Tap Dancer's movement speed gain on every hit for rapid stacking.

Avoid Tap Dancer + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady completely negates Tap Dancer's core mechanic. Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning, which wastes the bonus attack speed from movement speed that Tap Dancer provides. The infinite movement speed stacking becomes far less valuable when the attack speed conversion is nullified. Avoid Tap Dancer + Purist - Caster: Avoid this pairing because Purist - Caster converts all bonus attack speed into ability haste, directly conflicting with Tap Dancer's design. Tap Dancer grants bonus attack speed equal to 10% of total movement speed, but Purist - Caster removes the attack speed benefit entirely. The movement speed stacking still works, but the primary offensive scaling from the attack speed conversion is completely wasted. Avoid Tap Dancer + Scopier Weapons: Avoid this pairing because Scopier Weapons grants 200 bonus attack range, which fundamentally conflicts with Tap Dancer's playstyle. Tap Dancer rewards staying in combat and continuously attacking to stack infinite movement speed, but the extended attack range encourages kiting and staying farther from enemies. The movement speed stacks decay if you cannot maintain consistent attacks on targets. Avoid Tap Dancer + Scopiest Weapons: Avoid this pairing because Scopiest Weapons grants 250 bonus attack range, creating strong anti-synergy with Tap Dancer's stacking mechanic. The extended range promotes a poke-oriented playstyle that prevents you from maintaining the rapid attack chains needed to build and sustain your infinite movement speed stacks. The attack speed from movement speed conversion becomes less relevant when you cannot attack frequently.

Tapping Shoes: Don't ignore cumulative movement distance walking also stacks layers. Don't engage without layers it wastes control opportunities. Don't pick this on champions without mobility stacking speed is too slow. Note knockup duration only 0.5 seconds, follow up with other skills immediately.
