Arrr, howling Abyss rules

Prepare fer one shared course

ARAM removes th' normal Rift role sea chart. Loadout 'round th' champion, th' five-sailor crew and th' next aboard fight instead.

01
Set sail together

Inspect rerolls and th' shared bench, then leave wit' an opening that fits this champion and th' crew 'round it.

02
Arrr, shop while dead

Ye cannae Recall to buy. Course components afore leaving th' shop and use each death timer deliberately.

03
Share hull relics

A relic heals nigh th' ship crewmates after a short delay. Signal it and avoid taking th' trigger when a lower-hull teammate needs th' area.

04
Fight wit' th' wave

Minions create structure pressure and safer space. Clearing first aboard can be more booty useful than forcing another low-hull engage.

Arrr, ARAM spell reference

Compare th' opening wit' Riot's ARAM Captain-recommended shop afore leaving base. After that, purchases happen only while dead; th' six usable inventory slots do nay increase.

Arrr, static alternatives

Compare th' problem afore changing th' course

These choices be nay picked from live scores. Use one only after ye identify th' stated clash problem yourself.

Arrr, Only when enemy healing is deciding fights

Oblivion Orb

Arrr, Oblivion Orb supplies healing reduction without committing to a completed Morellonomicon. Skip both when healing is not the problem or an ally already covers your target reliably. Healing reduction does not reduce shields.

Arrr, Conditional component, not a core item. Complete Morellonomicon only when its stats and slot efficiency justify delaying another purchase.

Zhonya's Hourglass

Arrr, zhonya's stasis can absorb a committed dive or lethal burst window.

Arrr, one spell stops me

Banshee's Veil

Banshee's spell shield can protect th' first aboard fit fer th' captain's eye cast agin' ye.

Arrr, Situational AP purchase

Arrr, When should you buy anti-heal?

Arrr, Buy healing reduction when enemy healing or regeneration is deciding fights and you can keep damaging the relevant target. Grievous Wounds reduces healing; it does not reduce shields, magic damage or crowd control.

Arrr, Start with the component

Arrr, Oblivion Orb can provide healing reduction without immediately paying for a completed Morellonomicon. Fit the component around your core damage, mana and survival needs; check the current queue's item tooltip.

Arrr, Finish when it fits the fight

Arrr, Complete Morellonomicon when its stats and slot efficiency suit your build. Do not treat it as a mandatory first item just because your champion deals magic damage.

Arrr, Coordinate coverage

Arrr, Multiple Grievous Wounds sources do not add their percentages together. Another reliable applier may cover the same target, but you may still need your own source for a separate fight or target.

Arrr, Repeated spell damage and damage over time can maintain coverage more reliably than a single hit. Match the purchase to your actual spell access, enemy sustain and the teammates who can apply the debuff.

Arrr, Will the fight last long enough?

Arrr, If you die before dealing damage, you apply no healing reduction. If your target dies before healing, there is little healing to prevent. The debuff applies on qualifying damage immediately; it does not need to build up. It remains briefly after your last hit, so teammates can benefit even after you disengage.

Arrr, Only healing during the active debuff counts. For example, 40% reduction prevents 80 of a 200-point heal, or 400 of a 1,000-point heal, before other modifiers. Compare that with the damage, penetration or survival you delayed; neither example guarantees a kill. Healing after the debuff expires is unaffected.

Arrr, See the Arrr, oblivion Orb and Arrr, Morellonomicon Arrr, references for current effects and queue availability. These are situational decisions, not a measured best-build claim.

Adapt th' course

Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.

Even course

Trade 'round hull, range and th' next aboard wave

1
Wave

Let th' crew clear th' deck without spending every fit fer th' captain's eye cooldown at once.

2
Sea chart play

Track th' shared course, brush control and available relics rather than looking fer a Rift rotation.

3
Fights

Use th' champion's reliable range, protection or control afore forcing a low-percentage engage.

Shared-course course

Fiddlesticks on Howling Abyss

Read hull, range, wave position and respawn timing together. ARAM has no side-course rotation, neutral-prize setup or normal ward-control loop.

Arrr, ARAM only
1
Afore th' fight

Clear th' deck or escort th' wave, inspect which crewmates be alive and preserve enough hull to use th' champion's reliable range, protection or engage.

2
During th' fight

Use th' nearest seaworthy target and th' crew's reachable follow-up. Do nay cross th' whole foe formation fer a single low-hull champion.

3
After th' fight

Push wit' surviving minions, take th' seaworthy structure damage available and reset th' course only through a real death rather than donating one alone.

Arrr, keep preparing
