Void Rift ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Rift Fissure: Creates a fissure under the champion that deals magic damage and slows nearby enemies, a mage's tool for siege and teamfights.

Void Rift: Core effect: Each ability cast creates a Void Rift at your feet lasting 3 seconds. Base damage: Rift deals 20-80 magic damage per second (scales with level). Stat bonus: Rift damage gains 30% AP scaling. Slow effect: Enemies in the rift are slowed by 20%. Cooldown: Can only generate one rift every 2 seconds.

Void Rift: All active skill casts Equipment skill casts (such as Luden's, Morellonomicon) Summoner spell casts (such as Flash, Heal) Item active skill casts

Void Rift: Basic attacks, Tick damage from DoT abilities, Passive effects, Enemy skill effects

Void Rift: Rift Stacking: Multiple rifts can stack damage and slow effects Rift Radius: Rift radius is 200 units Damage Type: Magic damage, benefits from magic penetration Rifts Don't Move: Fixed in place after creation

Void Rift: Siege mages (like Viktor, Ziggs, Brand) Mages with short cooldowns Mages who need sustained damage Mages lacking control

Assassin champions ADC champions Pure tank champions Champions who need frequent mobility

Void Rift: Try to generate rifts under enemies: causes continuous damage and slow. Use rifts to block enemy movement: extremely effective in narrow terrain. Combine with crowd control: prevents enemies from leaving rifts. Release ability in teamfights to generate multiple rifts.

Void Rift + Thread the Needle + Magic Missile: Void Rift scales with lethality and flat magic penetration, making Thread the Needle exceptional for increasing rift damage. Magic Missile triggers Void Scar on every ability hit, generating more rifts for consistent area damage. Together, these create devastating poke patterns where each ability spawns void effects that penetrate resistances and deal percentage health true damage. Void Rift + Recursion + Infernal Conduit: Recursion provides 60 ability haste, enabling more frequent ability casts to trigger Void Scars and create rifts more often. Infernal Conduit adds burn damage to every ability hit, stacking infinitely. The combination ensures constant pressure: abilities spawn void scars, apply burns, and with reduced cooldowns, rifts form repeatedly in the narrow ARAM lane. Void Rift + Erosion + Slap Around: Erosion shreds armor and magic resistance with each damage instance, and Void Rift damage counts toward stacks, amplifying all subsequent damage. Slap Around grants adaptive power on immobilizes, and Void Rift's 99% slow enables crowd control for easy stacking. The sustained damage from repeated rifts benefits from both resistance reduction and growing offensive stats. Void Rift + Eureka + Witchful Thinking: Eureka grants ability haste scaling with AP, enabling more frequent Void Scar triggers for mages. Witchful Thinking provides flat AP that scales Void Rift's base damage. The combination suits ability-focused champions who can consistently hit abilities to spawn void scars, with AP scaling both their kit damage and the rift's effectiveness while maintaining high cast frequency.

Avoid Void Rift + Back to Basics: Avoid this pairing because Back to Basics permanently seals your ultimate ability, removing a key ability damage source that could otherwise trigger Void Rift. With fewer abilities to cast, you generate fewer Void Scars, drastically reducing the frequency of rift creation and wasting Void Rift's potential. Avoid Void Rift + Slow and Steady: This pairing is weak because Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static value and prevents attack speed bonuses, while Void Rift triggers exclusively from ability damage. The attack speed restriction provides no benefit to Void Rift's mechanics, and the playstyle mismatch wastes the augment slot. Avoid Void Rift + Deft: Avoid this pairing because Deft grants 60% bonus attack speed, which does not enhance Void Rift's ability-triggered damage or rift creation. Void Rift scales with lethality and magic penetration, not attack speed, making this a stat mismatch that offers no synergy. Avoid Void Rift + Dashing: This pairing is low-value because Dashing grants 175 ability haste specifically to abilities with dashes or blinks, while Void Rift requires no movement to function. Unless your champion's entire kit is dash-based, the conditional haste often fails to enhance Void Rift's trigger rate meaningfully.

Void Rift: Don't cast skills on empty ground: Wastes rift generation opportunities. Don't ignore rift slow effect: Can be used to chase or escape. Don't generate rifts when you need to reposition: Rifts don't move with you. Watch rift cooldown: Don't spam skills continuously to waste rifts.
