What Not to Pair with Crack Open That Egg

Avoid Crack Open That Egg + Glass Cannon: Glass Cannon hard-caps your maximum health at 70%, which severely limits the maximum strength of any shield you can receive. Since Crack Open That Egg deals damage based on 100% of the shield's strength, the health cap directly reduces the damage potential of the explosion, wasting the core mechanic. Avoid Crack Open That Egg + Vampirism: Vampirism disables all healing from allies and sets your health regeneration to zero. This prevents you from benefiting from allied shields or healing to survive longer, which reduces the opportunities to generate shields. Without external shielding support, you cannot maximize the explosion damage from Crack Open That Egg. Avoid Crack Open That Egg + Back to Basics: Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, which removes a potential source of shielding for champions who gain shields from their ultimates. Losing access to a full ability slot reduces your overall shield generation capability, making it harder to trigger Crack Open That Egg consistently. Avoid Crack Open That Egg + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static amount and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. For champions who rely on attack speed to generate shields through on-hit effects or frequent auto-attacks, this severely limits shield uptime and reduces Crack Open That Egg triggers.
