Avoid Upgrade Sheen + ADAPt

Upgrade Sheen empowers Spellblade items which scale with attack damage, but ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power. This fundamentally removes the scaling that makes Spellblade effective, wasting both the augment's bonus damage and its maximum health-based healing which benefits from AD ratios.

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 .

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Sheen + Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady sets base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Spellblade requires basic attacks to trigger, and being locked at 0.625 attack rate severely limits how often you can proc the empowered effect, making the upgrade significantly less valuable.

Your champion abilities deal 35% increased damage and you gain 70 ability haste and 35% increased healing and shielding from all sources, but your ultimate ability is permanently sealed .

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Sheen + Back to Basics

Back to Basics seals your ultimate ability permanently, which is a massive trade-off. While it grants ability haste and damage, Spellblade builds typically want full kit access for weaving abilities between auto-attacks, and losing an ultimate severely limits playmaking potential for a playstyle that doesn't maximize Spellblade triggers.

You gain a health threshold equal to 70% maximum health which cannot be modified nor exceeded by any means. In return, you deal bonus true damage equal to 15% of all of the damage you deal pre-mitigation.

View augment details

Avoid Upgrade Sheen + Glass Cannon

Glass Cannon caps your health at 70% of maximum and prevents any healing from exceeding this threshold. Upgrade Sheen heals you for 3.5% of maximum health on Spellblade procs, but this healing becomes partially or completely wasted when you are near or at the health cap.
