ARAM Mayhem introduced 216 augments across three tiers. Here's how to navigate them.
Tier Breakdown
**Prismatic (Purple Border)** — The most powerful augments. These can completely redefine your champion's playstyle. Always prioritize Prismatic augments when they appear.
**Gold (Yellow Border)** — Strong augment choices that provide significant advantages. Good Gold augments can rival weak Prismatic ones.
**Silver (Gray Border)** — Situational augments. While individually weaker, the right Silver augment can enable powerful synergies.
Decision Framework
1. Check your champion's best augments on our augment detail pages
2. Prioritize Prismatic > Gold > Silver
3. Read the full effect description — don't just go by name
4. Consider your team composition and enemy threats
Hidden Synergies
Some augments work better on specific champions than their tier suggests. For example, Ethereal Weapon on low-cooldown casters can outperform higher-tier augments. Always check the "Best Champions" section on each augment's detail page.
