How Armored Impact plays

Armored Impact is S tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #4 of 226 augments and #2 of the 90 gold cards. That is the average over every champion; on the right one it is worth more, on the wrong one much less.

It gives health and resistances, so it pays off on champions that already use that. On a champion that doesn't, it is a wasted pick, whatever its tier.

It does best on Camille, Poppy and Malphite. 9 of its 15 best champions are fighters.

It is stronger early: S tier as a first pick and A tier by the fourth pick. Take it when it shows up early.

The card it pairs with best is Forged By The Master: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
