Double Tap ARAM Mayhem Augment Guide

Double Tap: Each basic attack fires two bullets, dealing damage twice, a damage Transmutation for basic attack champions.

"Double Shot: Core effect: Each basic attack fires two projectiles with damage calculated separately \nDamage reduction: Second projectile deals 70% damage \nEffect triggers: Each projectile can independently trigger on-hit effects (Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, critical strike) \nStacking rules: Multiplies with other basic attack enhancements \nRestriction: Only applies to basic attacks

Double Tap: All basic attacks (including empowered attacks) Basic attacks from summons Item on-hit effects

Double Tap: Ability damage, True damage, Healing and shield effects

Double Tap: Critical chance for both bullets calculated independently. On-hit effects (like Blade of the Ruined King's percentage damage) trigger on each bullet. Life steal from Siphoning Strike triggers on each bullet. Attack speed bonus increases firing rate for both bullets

Double Tap: Auto-attack ADCs (Vayne, Jinx, Draven) High crit rate fighters (Master Yi, Tryndamere, Olaf) On-hit ADCs (Kai'Sa, Aphelios)

Double Tap: Pure AP mages (Ziggs, Vel'Koz, Brand)\nPure tank champions (Alistar, Leona, Braum)\nAbility-based champions (Jinx, Lux, Viktor)

Double Tap: Prioritize attack speed and critical chance to maximize damage Get items with on-hit effects (Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, Wit's End) Use double damage to quickly stack on-hit effects In team fights, continuously auto-attack for explosive damage

Double Tap + Dual Wield: Dual Wield launches an additional bolt on each basic attack that applies on-hit effects at 40% effectiveness. When combined with Double Tap, critical strikes trigger both the main attack's double on-hit application AND the bolt's on-hit effects, creating triple on-hit procs per crit while gaining 50% total critical strike chance from both augments. Double Tap + Soul Siphon: Twice Thrice stores stacks to apply on-hit effects again at 150% effectiveness on every third attack. Double Tap causes critical strikes to double on-hit applications, meaning a crit on the empowered third attack applies on-hits three times at enhanced damage, creating massive burst windows in ARAM's constant teamfights. Double Tap + Critical Missile: Critical Missile launches Firecrackers at targets when landing critical strikes, scaling with critical strike chance. Double Tap provides 25% crit chance and causes each crit to apply on-hits twice, meaning Critical Missile's Firecrackers trigger on every crit while on-hit effects like Blade of the Ruined King or Wit's End double in effectiveness. Double Tap + Typhoon: Typhoon causes basic attacks to launch a Firecracker at a nearby enemy that applies on-hit effects. Double Tap makes critical strikes apply on-hits twice, so crits trigger Typhoon's Firecracker AND double the main target's on-hit damage, spreading enhanced on-hit pressure across multiple targets in ARAM's clustered fights. Double Tap + Light 'em Up!: Light 'em Up fires 4 Firecrackers on every fourth basic attack, each applying on-hit effects. Double Tap causes critical strikes to apply on-hits twice, so if the fourth attack crits, all four Firecrackers double their on-hit applications, resulting in 8 enhanced on-hit triggers in rapid succession.

Avoid Double Tap + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents all attack speed bonuses from functioning. Double Tap relies on frequent critical strikes to apply on-hit effects an additional time. By removing attack speed scaling, this pairing severely reduces the number of attacks you can output, wasting Double Tap's trigger potential. Avoid Double Tap + It's Critical: Double Tap already grants 25% critical strike chance. It's Critical provides an additional 50% critical strike chance. This results in 75% total critical strike chance from augments alone, often overcapping when combined with items. The gold-tier slot spent on redundant stats could be used for attack speed or on-hit damage that actually synergizes with Double Tap's effect. Avoid Double Tap + Soul Siphon: Twice Thrice makes every third basic attack apply on-hit effects at 150% effectiveness. Double Tap makes critical strikes apply on-hit effects an additional time at 100% effectiveness. These mechanics apply on-hit effects differently and do not stack multiplicatively. The payoff is marginal compared to other on-hit augments, making this a low-value pairing. Avoid Double Tap + Draw Your Sword: Draw Your Sword forces your champion to become melee, significantly reducing your attack range. Double Tap is designed for basic attack critical strike builds that benefit from safely applying on-hit effects from range. Becoming melee puts you in danger to utilize Double Tap's effect, creating a poor playstyle mismatch for most ranged marksmen.

Double Tap: Don't think the second bullet deals same damage as first. Don't ignore double proc benefit of on-hit effects. Don't build too much attack damage, attack speed and effects scale better. Note damage reduction on second bullet.
