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

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

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

Win Rate

Pick Rate

0.92%

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

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.

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

Azir is a control mage who turns the battlefield into his personal kingdom. He fights from behind a wall of sand soldiers, zoning enemies with sustained damage and territorial control rather than burst. His identity revolves around positioning: he wants enemies to fight where he decides. In ARAM: Mayhem, Azir thrives because the single-lane format forces constant fights. He can set up his soldier zones once and force the enemy team to either engage through them or concede ground. The mode's accelerated pace and frequent gold income let him reach his late-game power spike faster than on Summoner's Rift, where he often struggles through a weak early game. His signature pattern is simple: place soldiers, auto-attack from behind them, and shuffle enemies with his ultimate when they overextend. In Mayhem, the faster ability rotations and enhanced resources mean he keeps soldiers up more consistently and pokes harder. He becomes a sustained damage turret that's hard to approach without eating constant sand-spear shots. 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

Poppy is a sturdy frontline disruptor who wins fights by saying “no” to the enemy’s best engage. She is not just a tank; she is a bouncer. Look for angles where you can pin a target into terrain, block dash-heavy champions from reaching your carries, then survive long enough for your team to finish the fight. Her signature pattern is simple: hold space, punish movement, and turn enemy confidence against them. If someone dashes in carelessly, Poppy can stop the follow-up and force a bad fight. If someone stands too close to a wall, she can turn that mistake into a pick. In ARAM: Mayhem, Poppy benefits from the constant clumping and narrow lane, but she also has less room to reset after a messy engage. Play her as a peel-first tank when your team has damage, or as a short-range initiator when the enemy gives you a clear wall angle. The faster pace makes her anti-dash tools more valuable, but missed commits get punished quickly. 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

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

Brand is a ranged damage mage who wins fights by setting enemies up, lighting them on fire, and punishing anyone who stays grouped. He is easy to understand: land spells on clustered targets, follow up when they are already burning, and let the damage spread through the fight. In ARAM: Mayhem, Brand feels especially dangerous because teams collide often and the lane gives enemies fewer safe angles to dodge. His job is not to be the first one in. Stay behind your frontline, throw spells into choke points, and punish dives with quick burst when enemies commit too hard. Mayhem’s faster pace makes Brand less about slow poke and more about clean fight timing. If enemies stack together, he can take over a skirmish. If they spread out, dodge, or force him before he casts, he becomes much easier to kill. Play patient, aim at crowds, and turn every messy fight into a burn zone. View champion guide

Rumble is a short-range AP bruiser who wins fights by turning narrow space into a danger zone. He wants to walk forward with heat built up, burn through clustered enemies, then drop The Equalizer across their escape path so they have to choose between taking damage or giving up position. In ARAM: Mayhem, Rumble feels more direct than on a wide map. There is less room to dodge his zone control, more frequent clumped fights, and more chances to punish teams that stand in the same lane line. The tradeoff is simple: if he spends his heat badly or walks in before the enemy crowd control is used, he gets punished fast. Play him as a fight-starter and space-denier, not a backline mage.

He is not a simple button-masher. His strength comes from reading the fight early and painting the ground where enemies want to move next. In ARAM: Mayhem, Hwei has more targets, more chaos, and less time to think. That helps his wide-area damage and zoning, but it also punishes slow decisions hard. Play him as a backline controller: soften teams before they commit, block narrow paths during engages, then follow allied crowd control with your highest-impact combo. Augments can push him toward heavier poke, safer control, or burst cleanup, but the core stays the same: stay alive, cast first, and make the enemy fight inside your canvas. View champion guide

His core pattern is simple: poke with repeated spells, control space with his zone, and keep dealing damage even after he dies. He is not picked to dodge every threat; he is picked to make every engage expensive. In ARAM: Mayhem, Karthus gets more chances to fight constantly, so his value comes from positioning near the action without wasting his death. Walk up when your team can follow, punish enemies grouped in the lane, and use your global ultimate to finish low-health targets after a brawl. If you die too early with no teammates nearby, the enemy can simply wait out your damage and reset. View champion guide

Miss Fortune is a straightforward marksman who wins fights by softening enemies with lane poke, then punishing grouped targets with a big channeled ultimate. She fits teams that can slow, root, stun, or zone enemies long enough for her damage to land, and she is easy to pick up because her best pattern is clear: hit from safety, keep moving, and fire when the enemy is forced to stand in a bad spot. In ARAM: Mayhem, fights break out faster and augments can make engages more explosive, so Miss Fortune has to be more careful with positioning than in a slower poke game. She is strongest when she plays behind her frontline, saves her channel for committed fights, and uses the narrow bridge to punish enemies who stack together. If assassins or divers are holding tools to interrupt her, she should bait those first, reposition, then ult after the punish window opens. View champion guide

Play him like a committed bruiser: wait for a real engage, enter with your team, then chase down targets that have already spent their escape or crowd control. In ARAM: Mayhem, Zaahen benefits from the mode’s constant fighting, but the single lane also makes bad entries easier to punish. He has less room to flank, so patience matters. Durability and mobility-focused augments help him survive the first wave of damage, while damage-focused setups are better when your team already has reliable engage.
