How Bolstered plays

Bolstered is C tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #180 of 226 augments and #58 of the 67 silver 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 Karma, Lulu and Ivern. 7 of its 15 best champions are supports.

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

The card it pairs with best is It's Go Time: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
