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.

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.

Pre-battle kit comparison
Shared-course interaction

Arrr, compare reliable reach and repeatable value

Track which champion can apply damage, control or protection without crossing th' foe crew's seaworthy space. ARAM does nay turn this kit comparison into a course-counter claim.

Crew context first aboard

Rerolls, allied range, engage and protection can matter more booty than either champion in isolation.

Yer course

Use th' course ye prepared

Use th' champion-specific ARAM loadout as a starting reference, then inspect th' present Captain-recommended shop, yer five-sailor composition and th' next aboard available death shop.

Trick reminders

Fizz reminders

  • Since Fizz can move through units, seek opportunities in course to walk through minions and apply Seastone Trident's passive - following it up wit' th' trick's active attack after a few seconds.
  • Fizz's ultimate trick, Chum the Waters, can be aimed at an foe or towards th' area where ye think they'll be going.
  • Fizz's spells scale off Trick Power - consider getting gear like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil agin' teams that have high burst threat - and gear like Lich Bane or Rabadon's Deathcap if ye think ye can survive without th' Hull.
Trick reminders

Against Viktor

  • Be careful about how belay ye let Viktor get to ye. Viktor's control o' th' battlefield increases wit' his proximity to his foe.
  • Be aware o' how many augments Viktor has upgraded by looking at th' color o' th' light on his staff (purple, yellow, blue, red).

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, too much healing

Chempunk Chainsword

Chempunk Chainsword adds anti-heal without abandoning attack damage and hull.

Arrr, sustained magic damage

Kaenic Rookern

Kaenic Rookern be a defensive captain's answer when repeated magic damage be th' real problem.

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.

Adapt th' course

What to do when th' battle changes

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

Fizz 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
