Donation + Transmute: Prismatic

Donation provides 1750 gold immediately, enabling faster item completion. Transmute: Prismatic uses this gold advantage to secure a random Prismatic augment, which typically offers stronger effects than Gold tier. The early gold injection increases the value of rerolling into higher-tier power spikes, creating exponential scaling potential for the rest of the match.

Common Mistakes

Donation

Augments

Donation: Don't donate your core runes: your combat power will drop significantly. Don't donate to teammates who can't play: wastes runes. Don't forget you gain 10% extra damage: you still have combat power after donating. Note team coordination: donation is for team strength.
