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 physical damage: Riot rates it 8/10 in attack.
- Crowd control: Steel Tempest applies a knock-up to set up kills.
- Last Breath hits several enemies: a strong team fight tool.
Weaknesses
- Hard to master: Riot rates its difficulty 10/10.
- Melee range: ranged opponents can poke it in lane.

Tips
- In ARAM your damage is constant and the lane never ends: poke before fights, and remember you can only shop when you die.

- Don't chase alone: the enemy is always grouped.
- Pick up health packs between fights: they're your only healing outside of abilities.
