Dropkick ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Flying Kick: Displacement abilities deal bonus damage and knock up enemies, a control-and-damage Rune for fighters and assassins with mobility.

Flying Kick: Core effect: After hitting an enemy with a dash ability, deal 60-240 bonus physical damage and knock them up for 0.75 seconds. Stat bonus: Bonus damage receives 70% attack damage amplification. Cooldown: Can only trigger once per dash ability. Applies to all dash abilities. Includes dashes and flashes.

Flying Kick: All champions' displacement skills Including active and passively triggered displacement Flash can also trigger it

Flying Kick: Knock-up effect can interrupt enemy abilities. Bonus damage can crit. When hitting multiple enemies, each receives damage and knock-up. Can trigger with Flash, but damage is halved.

Dropkick + Celestial Body + Goredrink: Celestial Body's massive 1500 bonus health directly increases Dropkick's execution threshold by 3%, while the 25% bonus health amplifies the explosion damage and execution heal. Omnivamp sustains through fights to reach more execute opportunities. The 10% damage reduction is negligible when executing low-health enemies. Dropkick + Goliath + Slap Around: Goliath's 35% bonus health scales Dropkick's execute threshold, explosion damage, and heal value simultaneously. The adaptive force helps chip enemies toward execute range. Slap Around provides infinite stacking AD on crowd control, increasing base AD for higher execute thresholds on future fights. Dropkick + Executioner + Thread the Needle: Executioner's 10% increased damage to enemies below 30% health softens targets for Dropkick's execute, and takedowns reset basic ability cooldowns for rapid chaining. Thread the Needle's 18% penetration ensures the corpse explosion deals full damage to nearby enemies in ARAM's clustered teamfights. Dropkick + Celestial Body + Gash: Celestial Body provides 1500 bonus health for scaling Dropkick's execute threshold and explosion damage. Gash adds 50% attack speed and on-hit true damage scaling with armor, helping whittle enemies toward execute range while building defensive stats that amplify the corpse explosion.

Avoid Dropkick + Glass Cannon: Avoid this pairing because Glass Cannon caps your maximum health at 70%, which severely reduces the execution threshold scaling from bonus health that Dropkick provides. The heal on execution also scales with bonus health, making both the offensive and defensive components of Dropkick significantly weaker when paired with this augment. Avoid Dropkick + Back to Basics: Back to Basics seals your ultimate ability permanently, which removes a potential execution tool from your kit. Dropkick's execution can trigger from any ability, so losing your ultimate means fewer opportunities to proc the effect. The 35% increased damage does not compensate for losing a full ability in ARAM: Mayhem. Avoid Dropkick + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady removes all attack speed bonuses, which severely limits basic attack frequency for triggering Dropkick's execution. While you gain bonus attack damage, the loss of attack speed reduces your overall damage output and opportunities to execute low-health targets, creating an anti-synergy with the execution mechanic. Avoid Dropkick + Vampirism: Vampirism sets your health regeneration to zero and prevents ally healing, but Dropkick provides a significant heal on successful execution. The self-sustain from Dropkick becomes your primary recovery method, which conflicts with the isolation theme of Vampirism and reduces the value of both augments together.

Flying Kick: Don't give to heroes without mobility: completely useless. Don't ignore flash trigger: can be used to knock up enemies at critical moments. Don't knockup duration: 0.75 seconds, follow up with other skills quickly. Note mobility skill cooldown: don't waste on empty ground.
