How to play Pyke in ARAM Mayhem

Pyke is a below-average pick in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier C, #128 of 173 champions, with a 47.7% win rate over 1,193,805 games.

78% of Pyke's damage to champions is physical, so enemy armor is what slows it down. A notable 17% of it is true damage. Its damage numbers are modest (27,299 to champions per game); its value is in what it enables rather than raw damage.

The Lethality build, lethality items for burst, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Hubris, Axiom Arc and Voltaic Cyclosword, with a 47.3% win rate over 909,813 games. On this build 48% of players skip boots and spend the slot on another item.

The cards that do best on Pyke are Weapon of Destiny, Hand of Baron and Mad Scientist. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability haste. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Titan's Resolve and Poltergeist when you can: they do worst on Pyke. A pair to look for: Ocean Soul with Growth Spurt.

Take Flash and Cleanse (0% of players); Mark is the common alternative. Max Q (Bone Skewer) first, then E, then W.
