It's Critical grants 50% critical strike chance, which heavily overlaps with the 25% critical strike chance already provided by Upgrade Infinity Edge. This pairing results in significant stat redundancy since you would exceed the 100% critical strike cap, wasting gold value and an augment slot on unnecessary stats.

Avoid Upgrade Infinity Edge + Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady removes all attack speed bonuses and sets base attack speed to a static value, which severely hampers the basic attack frequency needed to maximize critical strike damage from Upgrade Infinity Edge.

Common Mistakes

Upgrade Infinity Edge

Augments

Upgrade: Infinity Edge: Don't take without Infinity Edge item: completely useless. Don't ignore crit chance to crit damage conversion: stacking over 100% crit chance has high benefit. Don't forget skill crits with Edge of Night also benefit. Note crit damage cap: while no official cap, extremely high crit damage has diminishing returns.
