Five New ARAM: Mayhem Augments Arrive in Patch 26.21

Riot Games will add five ARAM: Mayhem augments-Get Jinxed, Brass Blast, Bees!!!, Totentanz and Salvation-in Patch 26.21 on Oct. 21.

Riot Games announced five new augments coming to ARAM: Mayhem with Patch 26.21, scheduled for Oct. 21. The studio previewed each augment’s mechanics but has not released exact damage values, durations or intervals.

The augments will appear in ARAM: Mayhem, the All Random All Mid variant that grants temporary power-ups during matches. Riot’s preview emphasized aggressive options, crowd control effects and team-oriented utilities among the new augments.

Get Jinxed places the champion on an RPG-style rocket that the player can steer across the map. The rocket detonates on contact with an enemy champion, a turret or a wall, turning mobility into a single-target damage tool.

Brass Blast outfits the champion with a large trumpet that must be charged before firing. When released, the blast deals magic damage and knocks enemies back, allowing players to disrupt enemy positioning or separate attackers from allies.

Bees!!! empowers ability hits at regular intervals so that the next hit against an enemy champion releases a swarm of bees that explodes on impact. Riot has not disclosed how often hits are empowered or which champions will benefit most from the effect.

Totentanz causes the champion to blink forward and become briefly invulnerable. If the player does not eliminate a champion within five seconds after activation, the effect ends with the champion’s death. The elimination does not require the user to land the killing blow for the condition to count.

Salvation deals damage and knocks back nearby enemies while healing allies when activated, providing a defensive option that can interrupt enemy advances and restore teammates during teamfights.

Riot’s preview focused on how the augments change player behavior rather than raw numbers. The developer said exact damage figures, timers and other numeric values will be revealed closer to the patch release so players can assess balance and champion synergy.

Riot periodically rotates augments in ARAM: Mayhem to vary match options; Patch 26.21 adds these five choices to that cycle.
