Nightstalking + Shadow Runner

Nightstalking grants invisibility after takedowns, which counts as exiting stealth to trigger Shadow Runner's 300 bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. This creates a powerful escape and repositioning tool after kills, allowing you to quickly reposition in ARAM's narrow lane while invisible and then speed away when stealth ends.

Nightstalking + Get Excited

Get Excited grants 100% bonus movement speed and attack speed for 4 seconds after takedowns, perfectly complementing Nightstalking's invisibility trigger. The combined burst of speed during stealth lets you reposition aggressively for follow-up damage, while the attack speed helps secure additional takedowns to chain the invisibility repeatedly in teamfights.

Nightstalking + Executioner

Executioner resets all basic ability cooldowns on takedowns, synergizing with Nightstalking's takedown-triggered invisibility. After securing a kill, you become invisible while your abilities refresh, allowing you to reposition unseen and immediately unleash another full ability rotation to chain additional takedowns in extended ARAM skirmishes.

Nightstalking + Vampirism

Vampirism provides 25% omnivamp for sustain during fights, helping you survive long enough to secure takedowns. When you do get a kill, Nightstalking's invisibility offers a brief safety window to reposition or escape. The self-healing from damage pairs well with the aggressive playstyle needed to chain takedowns.

Avoid Nightstalking + Get Excited

Avoid this pairing because Get Excited grants 100% bonus movement speed and 15% attack speed for 4 seconds on takedowns, but Nightstalking's invisibility ends immediately when you attack or cast abilities. The offensive buffs are largely wasted since you cannot capitalize on them without breaking the stealth that triggers simultaneously.

Avoid Nightstalking + Shadow Runner

Shadow Runner grants 300 bonus movement speed for 2 seconds after exiting stealth, which synergizes with Nightstalking, but the value is diminished because the stealth duration is only 1.5 seconds. You cannot fully utilize the speed burst's duration while invisible, and attacking to deal damage immediately ends both effects.

Executioner resets your basic ability cooldowns on champion takedowns, encouraging immediate ability casts to secure more kills. However, Nightstalking's invisibility ends when you cast abilities, creating a conflict where using your reset cooldowns immediately breaks the defensive stealth that could help you reposition safely.

Scoring a champion takedown causes the area around the slain champion to explode in a 500 unit radius, dealing adaptive damage to enemies within equal to 15% of their current health and leaving behind a zone for 1. 5 seconds that slows enemies within by 60%.

View augment details

Avoid Nightstalking + Spiritual Purification

Spiritual Purification triggers an explosion and slow zone on takedowns, but Nightstalking renders you invisible at the same moment. The slow zone provides area control that conflicts with the stealth's purpose of repositioning or escaping, since remaining in the zone to capitalize on the slow reveals your location.
