How to play Twisted Fate in ARAM Mayhem

Twisted Fate is one of the strongest picks in ARAM Mayhem on patch 26.21: tier S, #2 of 173 champions, with a 57.2% win rate over 2,508,148 games. It is also one of the most picked champions, showing up in 11% of games, so expect to see it on both sides. Riot rates it 9/10 for difficulty, so give it a few games before you judge it.

92% of Twisted Fate's damage to champions is magic, so enemy magic resist is what slows it down.

The AP build, ability power items, is both the most played and the top-ranked path: Luden's Echo, Rabadon's Deathcap and Shadowflame, with a 56.2% win rate over 1,695,011 games. For boots, Sorcerer's Shoes are both the most bought and the top-ranked pair.

The cards that do best on Twisted Fate are Echo Cast, Recoil and Wooglet's Witchcap. Cards built around movement speed fill most of the top of its list, followed by ability power. Most of its S-tier cards are prismatic, so a prismatic offer is often the pick that shapes the game. Skip Upgrade Collector and Third Times the Harm when you can: they do worst on Twisted Fate. A pair to look for: Wooglet's Witchcap with Echo Cast.

Take Flash and Ghost (70% of players). Max Q (Wild Cards) first, then W, then E.
