Amumu is a simple engage tank who starts fights, locks enemies in place, and lets his team pile damage onto grouped targets. His signature pattern is straightforward: look for a safe angle, land your bandage engage, then follow with his big area crowd control when multiple enemies are close enough to punish. In ARAM: Mayhem, Amumu likes the constant brawling because enemies are often packed together and fights start fast. That also means bad engages get punished quickly. Play him as the first button for your team, not a lone hero. If your carries are in range to follow, go in hard. If they are clearing waves or backing up, hold your engage and threaten space instead. He is entry-level friendly because his job is clear: absorb pressure, force grouped fights, and turn one caught target into a full teamfight. He struggles when enemies spread out, kite backward, or bait him into diving too far, so patience matters more than flashy mechanics. View champion guide

Sejuani is a durable engage tank who starts fights, locks down priority targets, and gives her team a clear front line to play behind. Her signature pattern is simple: walk up with allies nearby, threaten crowd control, then commit when an enemy steps too far forward. In ARAM: Mayhem, the constant brawling makes her job easier to understand but harder to execute cleanly. You get more chances to force fights, but bad engages are punished fast, so look for clumped enemies, follow-up damage, or a teammate ready to dive with you before you go in. View champion guide

Nautilus is a frontline engage tank who turns one good catch into a full team fight. His identity is simple: walk up with threat, hook the target that steps too far forward, then layer crowd control so your carries can finish the job. His signature pattern is hook, lock down, and stand in the way. If an enemy carry mispositions, Nautilus can start the fight immediately. If your team is being dived, he can peel just as well by anchoring himself between the threat and his backline. In ARAM: Mayhem, the constant brawling makes Nautilus feel very natural. There is less time to play slow lane games and more value in forcing clean all-ins, protecting damaged allies, and punishing anyone who uses mobility too early. He is entry-level friendly because his job is clear, but good Nautilus players win by choosing the right target instead of throwing every hook on cooldown. View champion guide

Malphite – Shard of the Monolith Malphite is a tanky engage champion built around one devastating combo: Unstoppable Force into everything else. His identity is simple—he runs at you, becomes impossible to kill, and turns teamfights with a single well-timed ultimate. In standard modes, he's known as "the press R to win champion," and that reputation follows him into ARAM. What changes in ARAM: Mayhem is how often he gets to do it. The accelerated gold and experience means Malphite hits his power spikes faster and stays relevant longer. He's not stuck farming for twenty minutes waiting for a chance to flash-ult. Instead, he's constantly looking for angles, constantly threatening the engage, and constantly forcing the enemy team to respect his cooldown. The single-lane format actually helps him—there's nowhere to run when a giant rock monster crashes through your entire backline. His role is frontline disruptor. He soaks damage, peels for carries, and creates openings with Ground Slam and Unstoppable Force. He doesn't deal massive sustained damage, but he doesn't need to. One good ultimate can set up his entire team to clean up a fight. The trade-off is that when his ultimate is down, he's much less threatening. Smart enemies will track that cooldown and play aggressively when they know he can't engage. Mayhem's faster pacing also means Malphite has to be more decisive. He can't afford to sit back and wait for the perfect engage forever—the game moves too quickly. He needs to recognize when a good opportunity becomes a great one, commit fully, and trust his team to follow up. Passive play loses games in this mode, even on a tank. View champion guide

Leona is a hard-engage tank who starts fights, locks one target in place, and gives her team a clear signal to go in. Her basic pattern is simple: find an angle, land the engage, chain her stun and ultimate, then stand in front while allies finish the target. In ARAM: Mayhem, Leona’s job gets even more direct. Fights happen often, damage comes fast, and augments can make both teams much harder to predict. She shines when your team can follow her first move, but she is punished if she dives too early or picks a target her allies cannot reach. Play her like a trigger, not a solo carry: wait for a real opening, force the fight, then keep the enemy backline or diver under control. View champion guide

Rakan The Charmer Rakan is a mobile support designed to set up plays and keep his carry alive. He pairs naturally with Xayah, but in ARAM: Mayhem, he functions as a strong independent engager. His identity revolves around dancing in and out of fights, layering shields, and locking down multiple enemies with his crowd control. In Mayhem, the faster pace and reduced cooldowns make his engage pattern much safer. He can dive the backline, ult, and dash back to an ally without waiting long for his cooldowns to reset. Expect to see him build tanky with ability haste, constantly looking for the angle to start a fight. View champion guide

Blitzcrank the Great Steam Golem Blitzcrank is a tanky support built around one devastating spell: Rocket Grab. His entire identity in ARAM: Mayhem revolves around landing that hook to drag enemies out of position and into your team. He creates instant kill pressure whenever his Q is off cooldown, forcing opponents to play scared or get punished. In Mayhem mode, Blitzcrank becomes a relentless fishing machine. Reduced cooldowns and accelerated mana regeneration mean he can spam hooks constantly instead of waiting for the perfect shot. He transitions from a punish-heavy support into a persistent threat who can afford to miss a few grabs while hunting for the one that lands. His engage pattern is simple: hook, knock up, silence, then let your team clean up. View champion guide

Thresh the Chain Warden Thresh is a ranged support catcher who controls fights through displacement, isolation, and peel. His identity centers on the lantern: a unique tool that repositions allies and turns bad engages into instant escapes. In ARAM: Mayhem, he becomes a relentless playmaker who can fish for hooks constantly without running dry on mana or cooldowns. He plays as a frontline-adjacent warden. You stand near your carry, threaten hooks to zone enemies off the wave, and look for grabs that drag someone out of position into your team. The lantern gives your team a safety net most supports cannot offer, letting allies play aggressive and still have a bail-out button. Mayhem accelerates his hook pattern. Faster ability cycles mean Death Sentence comes up often enough to spam, miss, and still have another chance shortly after. The lantern becomes a repeated repositioning tool rather than a long-cooldown emergency button. Flay's knockback is available frequently enough to disrupt dashes and channels on reaction, making him much harder to dive. His signature pattern is simple: land a hook, pull twice, then Flay the target sideways or backward into your team. If the fight turns, drop the lantern for a threatened ally. The Box creates a zone that punishes enemies trying to chase or escape, slowing anyone who touches a wall. In Mayhem, the lower cooldowns and higher resource regeneration let you cycle this entire sequence multiple times in one extended fight. View champion guide

Janna is a defensive enchanter who wins fights by denying the enemy’s engage, shielding the right carry, and turning messy brawls into clean retreats or re-engages. Her signature pattern is simple: stay just behind the frontline, interrupt dives with wind control, then use her healing and disengage to reset the fight when opponents overcommit.In ARAM: Mayhem, Janna is less about sitting back forever and more about reacting fast in constant skirmishes. The single-lane pressure gives her plenty of chances to punish predictable dashes, protect low-health allies, and save teammates from bad trades. She is entry-level friendly if you focus on one job first: keep your damage dealers alive, and only step forward when your team can immediately punish. View champion guide

Milio is a backline enchanter who wins fights by keeping carries safe, extending their threat range, and turning messy trades into survivable ones. His signature pattern is simple: stay behind the damage dealers, shield or heal before the burst lands, then use his defensive tools to let allies keep hitting instead of backing away. In ARAM: Mayhem, Milio is less about quiet lane support and more about fast reaction in constant brawls. Augments and nonstop teamfights make good positioning matter even more: if he is caught first, the fight can collapse, but if he survives the opening engage, his team gets much harder to finish off. Pick him when your side has strong carries that want time, space, and a second chance in every fight. View champion guide

Karma the Enlightened One Karma is an offensive support mage who defines games through poke, disengage, and burst shielding. She sits in the backline, charging her Mantra to decide when a fight turns. Her identity is simple: land Qs, empower the right ability, and keep her team healthy while chipping away at the enemy. In ARAM: Mayhem, she becomes a relentless spam engine. The mode's accelerated gold and experience let her hit her cooldown reduction cap quickly, turning her from a tempo mage into a constant pressure source. She does not one-shot tanks, but she makes sieging impossible for the enemy and surviving easy for her team. Core Identity and Role She functions primarily as a poke and disengage support. Unlike pure enchanters who heal, Karma prevents damage with shields and speed bursts. Unlike burst mages, she relies on sustained damage and crowd control over time rather than a single rotation. She fits best on compositions that want to kite backward or siege towers without diving. Her signature pattern is the Mantra Q. She activates her ultimate, fires an empowered Inner Flame, and creates a wide explosion that slows and deals heavy area damage. This creates a zone the enemy cannot walk through. If they force the issue, she uses Mantra E to shield her whole team and grant a massive movement speed burst, repositioning everyone instantly. What Changes in Mayhem Mayhem speeds up her entire game plan. In standard ARAM, Karma often struggles with mana early or feels weak if she falls behind on gold. Here, she reaches her power spikes faster and stays relevant longer. The increased ability haste available in the mode means her Mantra cooldown drops rapidly, letting her empower abilities in almost every skirmish. Constant Mantra access: She empowers abilities much more often, making her burst shielding or poke available for every engagement. Enhanced disengage: The mode favors aggressive engages, but her Mantra E shuts down dives harder when she has the haste to cast it repeatedly. Sustained poke pressure: She forces enemies off objectives or towers faster because she never runs out of resources to throw. She excels at keeping her team at full health while forcing the enemy to recall. Her weakness remains her lack of hard crowd control and low durability if caught. If the enemy has unstopabble engages or long-range burst, she has to play further back and rely on her empowered shields to recover. In Mayhem, her ability to dictate pacing makes her a consistent and reliable pick for players who prefer positioning over mechanical execution. View champion guide

Lulu the Fae Sorceress Lulu is a whimsical enchantress who controls fights through disruption, buffs, and crowd control rather than raw damage. She excels as a support or utility mage, turning enemy engages into chaos while amplifying her allies. Her signature pattern revolves around Polymorph—shutting down divers or assassins the moment they commit—and using Whimsy to speed up engages or peel threats. In ARAM: Mayhem, her constant poke and shielding become even more oppressive, and the faster pace means her ult and polymorph are available for nearly every skirmish. View champion guide

Viktor is a scaling control mage who wins fights by shaping space before the enemy can fully commit. He pokes from range, punishes clumped targets, and turns narrow lanes into bad trades with his area control. Play him as a backline damage dealer: soften the frontline, hold key zones when divers step in, then follow with burst once someone is forced to stand in the wrong place. In ARAM: Mayhem, Viktor gets more chances to hit grouped enemies, but he also gets punished harder when he is caught without room to kite. Augments can push him toward heavier poke, faster fight tempo, or stronger teamfight control, so his best games come from picking the angle your comp needs. If your team has engage, save damage for the locked target. If your team lacks frontline, play slower, clear waves, and make enemies walk through your threat before they can reach you.

Ziggs is a long-range artillery mage who wins space before the fight fully starts. He pokes from safety, clears waves fast, and punishes enemies who walk through narrow lanes or clump around objectives. His signature pattern is simple: throw bombs to chip people down, use minefields and displacement to make engages awkward, then help finish structures when the enemy team is forced back. In ARAM: Mayhem, Ziggs plays even more like a pressure pick. The map is still tight, but the pace is wilder, so he has to keep moving between casts instead of standing still and farming damage. Augments can push him toward heavier poke, better safety, or faster fight cleanup, but his core job stays the same: control the lane, soften targets before they engage, and make every enemy advance cost health.

Orianna is a control mage who fights through the Ball, shaping space instead of simply throwing spells forward. Her job is to shield or attach to an ally, punish enemies who walk into the Ball’s zone, and turn grouped fights with a well-timed combo. In ARAM: Mayhem, fights break out faster and teams collide more often, so Orianna gets more chances to find multi-target impact. She is strongest when she plays behind a durable engager or fast diver, moves the Ball onto them before the fight starts, and waits for enemies to stack too closely. If she throws the Ball too early or stands too far forward, mobile champions can punish her before her setup matters. Pick Orianna when your team wants steady poke, shielding, wave control, and a big teamfight follow-up. Play patiently, track where the Ball is, and make enemies choose between backing away from its threat or eating the fight-changing pull. View champion guide

Anivia is a control mage who defines teamfights through zone control, terrain manipulation, and sustained damage. She acts as a defensive anchor, turning narrow ARAM bridges into death traps with her crowd control and area denial. Her signature pattern revolves around Glacial Storm (R). She creates a large damaging zone that slows enemies and amplifies her other abilities. In standard modes, she struggles with mana costs and early game fragility. ARAM: Mayhem removes most of those weaknesses. Accelerated gold and experience let her reach her power spike faster, while constant fighting plays directly into her teamfight-focused kit. The Mayhem environment shifts her role slightly. She becomes a sustained damage dealer who can fish for picks more aggressively. The reduced penalty for dying means she can use her passive, Rebirth, as a strategic tool rather than a desperate last resort. She still plays as a backline controller, but she can take risks that would be suicidal on Summoner's Rift. View champion guide

Ekko is a mobile AP assassin who looks for short trades, delayed burst, and messy re-engage angles. His core pattern is simple: tag enemies, slip in when they are already pressured, then use his time tools to either finish the kill or escape before the enemy team can punish him. In ARAM: Mayhem, Ekko plays more like a skirmish cleaner than a patient side-lane assassin. Fights happen often, space is tight, and enemies group up, so his best moments come when he waits for crowd control or poke to soften a target before diving. If he goes first into five ready champions, he usually gets locked down. If he enters second, he can break the fight open. Pick Ekko when you want an AP threat that can punish squishy backliners, chase low-health enemies, and survive risky engages with smart timing. He rewards confidence, but he is not just a button-masher. Watch enemy crowd control, use terrain and fog when possible, and save your escape plan for the moment the fight turns against you.

Diana is an AP dive assassin-bruiser who wants to mark a target, dash in, and turn the fight with a close-range burst combo. She is best when she can enter after enemies have spent key crowd control, then pull multiple champions together and finish with her team’s damage. In ARAM: Mayhem, Diana’s job becomes more explosive but also riskier. The constant fighting gives her more chances to find multi-target engages, while augments can push her toward harder burst, stronger follow-up, or more durable brawling. She still has the same core rule: do not be the first champion to disappear into five enemies unless your team can instantly follow. Pick Diana when your team needs a decisive AP engager who can punish grouped enemies. Play around flanks, Snowball angles, and cooldown tracking. If the enemy keeps disengage or hard CC ready, wait it out, poke with your setup, then commit when their punish window is gone. View champion guide

Pyke the Bloodharbor Ripper Pyke is a support assassin designed to execute low-health targets and share the gold with his teammates. He plays as a lane bully who fishes for picks with Bone Skewer (Q) and sets up kills with Ghostwater Dive (W). His entire identity revolves around his ultimate, Death from Below (R), which executes enemies and grants bonus gold to the last ally to assist. In ARAM: Mayhem, he is a relentless kill-stealer who turns every skirmish into a gold fountain for his team. Mayhem accelerates his already aggressive playstyle. The mode's increased gold generation and constant fighting mean Pyke hits his power spikes faster and finds more execute opportunities. He thrives in the chaos, slipping in and out of combat with his camouflage and mobility. The single-lane format forces enemies to cluster, making his Phantom Undertow (E) stun easier to land on multiple targets. He is not a traditional healer or shielder; he keeps his allies alive by killing the enemy first and sharing the wealth. View champion guide

Irelia the Blade Dancer Irelia is a mobile diver who thrives on reset mechanics and sustained fighting. Her entire gameplay loop revolves around stacking her passive, landing her ultimate to mark targets, and dashing repeatedly to chase down kills. She is a high-execution champion where positioning and timing matter more than raw stat-checking. In ARAM: Mayhem, the accelerated pace and constant team fighting actually favor her reset style. You get to team fight non-stop, which is exactly where Irelia wants to be. The mode's chaos gives her more opportunities to find resets, though she still needs to respect burst damage and heavy crowd control. Her signature pattern is simple: stack your passive on minions or approaching enemies, hit your ultimate to create kill zones, then dash through marked targets to reset and continue the chase. Miss your ultimate or enter a fight without passive stacks, and you will likely die before getting anything done. View champion guide
