Grants 100 item haste , which is equivalent to 50% cooldown reduction for items.

Avoid Upgrade Zhonya + Apex Inventor

Apex Inventor grants 100 item haste (50% CDR for items), but Upgrade Zhonya already reduces Zhonya's Hourglass cooldown to a fixed 45 seconds. The item haste from Apex Inventor provides severely diminished value since the main benefit of Upgrade Zhonya is its built-in cooldown reduction, making significant portions of this pairing redundant.

Your base attack speed is set to a static amount of 0. 625 and your attack rate no longer benefits from any source of attack speed bonuses. In return, you gain 25 bonus attack damage and convert every 1% bonus attack speed into 1 bonus attack damage .

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Zhonya + Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from providing benefit. Upgrade Zhonya's mobile stasis effect is most valuable for champions who need to reposition during fights, but the attack speed restriction severely limits the attack-based champions who would typically want to build and utilize Zhonya's Hourglass effectively.

You can no longer be healed by allies and your health regeneration is set to 0 . Gain 25% omnivamp .

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Zhonya + Vampirism

Vampirism prevents all healing from allies and sets health regeneration to zero, while Upgrade Zhonya's mobile stasis is often used as a defensive tool to survive burst damage and wait for healing opportunities. The inability to receive any healing while in stasis removes a key survival synergy that makes Zhonya's Hourglass valuable for extended fights.

Become melee , modifying your attack range to 200 units. Additionally, gain 30% bonus attack damage , 25% bonus attack speed , 30% bonus health , 25% bonus movement speed , and 20% life steal. These bonuses are increased by 0% – 30% (based on champion's default attack range). This augment is only available for ranged champions.

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Zhonya + Draw Your Sword

Draw Your Sword forces your champion to become melee with 200 attack range. Upgrade Zhonya's mobile stasis during Zhonya's Hourglass is most valuable for squishy ranged champions who need to dodge burst, but being forced into melee range fundamentally changes playstyle and reduces the strategic value of being able to move while in stasis.
