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.

Your base attack speed is set to a static amount of 0. 625 and your attack rate no longer benefits from any source of attack speed bonuses. In return, you gain 25 bonus attack damage and convert every 1% bonus attack speed into 1 bonus attack damage .

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.
