This guide is assembled by the site from match data and the game's own information — nobody wrote it by hand. Official and community guides appear alongside it when they exist.

Overview

ARAM is a single lane on the Howling Abyss: fights never stop, you can't go back to base to heal or shop, and you only buy when you die. In ARAM your damage is constant and the lane never ends: poke before fights, and remember you can only shop when you die.

Strengths

  • High magic damage: Riot rates it 8/10 in magic.
  • Long attack range (550) for safe trades in lane.
  • Mobility: Across the Veil lets you reposition, engage or escape.

Weaknesses

  • Mana-hungry early: spamming abilities leaves you empty before the fight.
  • The enemy jungle and supports will target you for ganks.

When to use it

One lane, non-stop fights and you only shop when you die: rush your core, buy boots after, and keep the defensive answers for your deaths once you've seen the enemy team.

Strategy

1What changes

ARAM is a single lane on the Howling Abyss: fights never stop, you can't go back to base to heal or shop, and you only buy when you die.

2Build adjustments

One lane, non-stop fights and you only shop when you die: rush your core, buy boots after, and keep the defensive answers for your deaths once you've seen the enemy team.

3Fighting

Use Between Worlds where it changes the fight, not where it's safe, and keep your distance until the enemy uses their engage. In ARAM your damage is constant and the lane never ends: poke before fights, and remember you can only shop when you die.

Tips

  • In ARAM your damage is constant and the lane never ends: poke before fights, and remember you can only shop when you die.
  • Use Between Worlds in every big fight: in this mode there's always another one coming.
  • Don't chase alone: the enemy is always grouped.
  • Pick up health packs between fights: they're your only healing outside of abilities.
