Draw Your Sword + Dual Wield: Draw Your Sword converts ranged champions into melee fighters with substantial AD, attack speed, health, movement speed, and life steal. Dual Wield adds a second bolt on each basic attack dealing 40% damage and applying on-hit effects at 40% effectiveness, while also increasing total attack speed by 25%. This creates devastating auto-attack pressure that synergizes perfectly with the melee conversion and life steal. Draw Your Sword + Symphony of War: Draw Your Sword transforms ranged champions into melee with bonus AD, attack speed, health, movement speed, and life steal. Symphony of War grants both Conqueror and Lethal Tempo keystones, providing stacking adaptive force and attack speed that amplifies the melee auto-attack playstyle. The combined attack speed bonuses and Conqueror healing stack multiplicatively with the built-in life steal for sustained fighting. Draw Your Sword + Demon's Dance: Draw Your Sword converts ranged champions to melee with substantial offensive and defensive stats plus life steal. Demon's Dance provides both Fleet Footwork for additional sustain and Grasp of the Undying for bonus health stacking on melee attacks. The melee range enables consistent Grasp procs while Fleet Footwork mobility and healing complement the built-in life steal for extended skirmishes. Draw Your Sword + Heavy Hitter: Draw Your Sword grants 30% bonus health alongside its melee conversion and offensive stats. Heavy Hitter adds bonus physical damage on basic attacks equal to 3.5% of maximum health, scaling directly with the health bonus from Draw Your Sword. This creates a tanky melee bruiser build where increased survivability simultaneously increases damage output. Draw Your Sword + Goredrink: Draw Your Sword provides 20% life steal as part of its melee conversion package. Goredrink adds 15% omnivamp, stacking with life steal for combined healing from all damage sources including abilities. This creates exceptional sustain in ARAM's constant teamfights, allowing the converted melee champion to maintain health through extended engagements.

Avoid Draw Your Sword + Scopier Weapons: Draw Your Sword converts you to melee with 200 attack range, while Scopier Weapons grants bonus attack range. These effects directly conflict—becoming melee overrides your range, making the attack range bonus from Scopier Weapons completely wasted. Avoid this pairing because the core benefit of one augment nullifies the other. Avoid Draw Your Sword + Scopiest Weapons: Draw Your Sword forces you into melee range at 200 units, but Scopiest Weapons provides substantial bonus attack range. The melee conversion takes priority, rendering the range increase useless. This is a severe anti-synergy where one augment's primary effect is entirely negated by the other. Avoid Draw Your Sword + Slow and Steady: Draw Your Sword grants 25% bonus attack speed, but Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. The attack speed stat from Draw Your Sword becomes completely wasted. Avoid this pairing due to the direct mechanical nullification. Avoid Draw Your Sword + Scoped Weapons: Draw Your Sword converts you to melee at 200 attack range, making the bonus attack range from Scoped Weapons irrelevant. The melee transformation overrides your base range, so any attack range increase provides no benefit. This creates a redundant and wasteful stat pairing. Avoid Draw Your Sword + Skilled Sniper: Skilled Sniper requires hitting abilities from at least 700 units away to reduce cooldowns. Draw Your Sword makes you melee at 200 range, forcing you into close combat. This trigger incompatibility means you cannot reliably proc Skilled Sniper's effect, making the pairing extremely inefficient.

Show Your Steel: Don't take on pure AP champions, very low value. Don't ignore bonus attack when exceeding 200 AD. Don't build too much defense, reduces AD benefit. Note enemy armor, build armor penetration.
