What Not to Pair with Gash

Avoid Gash + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady completely nullifies Gash's 50% bonus attack speed benefit by setting base attack speed to a static value and preventing all attack speed bonuses from functioning. This mechanical conflict wastes a primary component of Gash, leaving only the on-hit true damage which scales with armor rather than the converted attack damage. Avoid Gash + ADAPt: This pairing has poor synergy because ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power, yet Gash's true damage on-hit scales specifically with bonus armor rather than AP or AD. The attack speed from Gash benefits auto-attackers who typically build AD, creating a stat mismatch where the conversion undermines the intended playstyle. Avoid Gash + Back to Basics: Back to Basics seals your ultimate ability permanently, which severely limits champion effectiveness for most auto-attackers who would want Gash's attack speed and on-hit true damage. The ability power and ability haste stats from Back to Basics offer minimal value for an auto-attack focused build that Gash promotes. Avoid Gash + Deft: Deft provides 60% bonus attack speed, which heavily overlaps with Gash's 50% bonus attack speed. This redundancy wastes an augment slot on stats you already have, and neither augment addresses survivability or other scaling dimensions that would complement an on-hit damage build.
