Immobilizing or grounding an enemy champion grants a shield for 3 seconds that absorbs 150 – 450 (based on level) (+ 4% maximum health) damage (5 second cooldown per cast instance ). Shields can stack between multiple triggers of this effect, though not refreshing the duration of previous shields.

Mighty Shield + Courage of the Colossus

Courage of the Colossus triggers a shield when you immobilize enemies, which activates Mighty Shield's adaptive force bonus. This creates a reliable offensive loop in ARAM's constant teamfights, as the 5-second cooldowns align perfectly. The bonus damage helps you capitalize on crowd control moments, making you significantly more threatening after every engage.

Mighty Shield + Big Brain

Big Brain grants a persistent AP-based shield that replenishes on respawn, ensuring Mighty Shield's trigger is always available. This provides consistent adaptive force uptime throughout fights without relying on cooldowns or ally support.

You gain a health threshold equal to 70% maximum health which cannot be modified nor exceeded by any means. In return, you deal bonus true damage equal to 15% of all of the damage you deal pre-mitigation.

View augment details

Avoid Mighty Shield + Glass Cannon

Avoid this pairing because Glass Cannon restricts your maximum health to 70% of normal, severely reducing shield effectiveness and survivability. Mighty Shield provides adaptive force when gaining shields, but the health restriction makes shields break faster and the short 3-second buff becomes difficult to utilize when you are much squishier and die more quickly.

Avoid Mighty Shield + Vampirism

This pairing has poor synergy because Vampirism removes all healing from allies and sets health regeneration to zero, forcing a self-sustain playstyle. Mighty Shield triggers upon gaining shields, but Vampirism offers no shield generation itself. You would need shields from other sources, making these two augments functionally disconnected with no mutual benefit.

Avoid Mighty Shield + Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses, converting attack speed into attack damage instead. Mighty Shield provides adaptive force when shielded, but this conversion mechanic does not interact with the temporary buff. The playstyles conflict between attack speed denial and shield-triggered damage spikes.

Avoid Mighty Shield + Draw Your Sword

Draw Your Sword forces you to become melee with 200 attack range, which fundamentally changes your positioning. Mighty Shield grants adaptive force upon shielding, but being melee puts you in more danger where the 3-second buff window is harder to utilize effectively. The forced melee conversion can conflict with champions who shield from safer distances.
