Phenomenal Evil ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Transcendent Evil: Permanently gains stacks from participating in champion takedowns, increasing damage and magic penetration, maxing out to gain 'Evil Incarnation' with 3 seconds of damage immunity, one of the strongest late-game scaling Runes.

Supernatural Evil: Core effect: Gain 1 Evil stack for each champion kill/assist. Base bonus: +1% all damage and +0.5% magic penetration per stack. Stack cap: Maximum 30 stacks. Ultimate effect: At 30 stacks, gain "Evil Incarnation" passive - 3 seconds of damage immunity after each kill/assist (60s cooldown). Death penalty: No stacks lost on death. Stat conversion: Magic penetration converts to armor penetration if you're an AD champion.

Supernatural Evil: Killing enemy champions Assisting enemy champions (dealing damage or applying CC/buffs within 10 seconds before the kill) Participating in killing heroes controlled by pets Participating in killing all enemy heroes in clone mode

Supernatural Evil: Killing minions, monsters, towers, Killing allied heroes, Enemy hero suicides, Unassisted kills (unless you dealt damage), Summoner spell kills (unless you dealt damage)

Transcendent: Automatic Attribute Conversion: AD champions' magic penetration converts 1:1 to armor penetration, AP champions keep magic penetration Damage Immunity Priority: Transcendent's damage immunity is higher than all damage sources, including true damage and tower damage Multi-Stack: A multi-kill grants corresponding stacks (e.g., pentakill = 5 stacks) Assist Priority: Assists and kills grant the same number of stacks, no need to secure kills Cooldown Reset: Transcendent's cooldown resets upon revival

Transcendent Evil: Teamfight carry champions (like Katarina, Samira, Master Yi) Large AOE champions (like Ziggs, Brand, Kennen) Champions who can easily assist (like Morgana, Galio, Karma) Late-game carry champions (like Vayne, Jinx, Ryze)

Pure support champions (like Soraka, Nami, Braum) Pure tank champions (like Alistar, Leona, Ornn) Early game weak champions who die easily Single-target assassins with no AOE and difficulty securing assists (like Zed, Talon)

Transcendent: Participate in teamfights early as much as possible: the earlier you stack, the greater the late-game advantage. Don't force kills: assists and kills give same stacks, so getting assists is safer. Fight key teamfights after reaching 30 stacks: the damage immunity from Transcendent form makes you invincible for 3 seconds. Use damage immunity to initiate: after maxing, you can initiate and absorb all enemy key abilities. Don't overextend late game: even when maxed, focus can still kill you, so watch positioning.

Phenomenal Evil + Jeweled Gauntlet: Phenomenal Evil grants permanent ability power stacks throughout the match, while Jeweled Gauntlet allows abilities to critically strike. This combination transforms infinite AP scaling into exponentially higher damage output, making each stack more valuable as the game progresses. Phenomenal Evil + Eureka: Eureka converts 30% of ability power into ability haste, directly scaling with Phenomenal Evil's permanent AP stacks. As you accumulate more evil power throughout the game, your cooldowns shrink proportionally, enabling more frequent ability casts to generate additional stacks. Phenomenal Evil + Recursion: Recursion provides 60 flat ability haste, enabling more frequent ability casts to trigger Phenomenal Evil's stack generation. The reduced cooldowns accelerate the stacking rate significantly, creating a snowball effect where more casts mean more AP for faster damage scaling. Phenomenal Evil + Thread the Needle: Thread the Needle provides 18% armor and magic penetration, ensuring that Phenomenal Evil's accumulating ability power translates directly into effective damage. As stacks grow, the penetration guarantees that raw AP converts efficiently into actual damage dealt.

Avoid Phenomenal Evil + Back to Basics: Avoid this pairing because Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, removing a key ability damage source that would generate Phenomenal Evil stacks. Phenomenal Evil requires ability damage to stack, and losing your ultimate significantly reduces your stacking potential and overall AP scaling throughout the match. Avoid Phenomenal Evil + EscAPADe: Avoid this pairing because EscAPADe converts all your ability power into bonus attack damage, completely negating Phenomenal Evil's core benefit of granting permanent AP stacks. The infinite AP scaling from Phenomenal Evil becomes worthless when immediately converted away, wasting both augments entirely. Avoid Phenomenal Evil + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and removes all attack speed bonus benefits. Phenomenal Evil is designed for ability-focused champions who stack AP through ability damage, making this attack speed restriction and AD conversion antithetical to the augment's purpose. Avoid Phenomenal Evil + Blunt Force: Avoid this pairing because Blunt Force increases attack damage by 20%, which provides no synergy with Phenomenal Evil's ability power stacking mechanic. Phenomenal Evil rewards ability damage with permanent AP, making raw AD percentage increases a poor investment compared to AP or ability-focused augments.

Transcendent: Don't take on pure supports: Supports deal little damage, making stacking benefits even when maxed out very low. Don't be aggressive early: Early stacks provide no damage immunity, making you vulnerable to burst. Don't forget stat conversion: AD champions also get armor penetration, providing high value. Don't fight key battles before maxing: Transcendent without Transcendent Form is relatively weak. Watch Transcendent Form cooldown: 60-second cooldown don't force teamfights during cooldown. Don't force stacking in losing lanes: In losing lanes, teammates are defending towers rushing out for assists gets you picked off one by one.
