But mastering him requires more than just knowledge of his skills; you need to understand his mechanics, passive abilities, and how to optimize his build for maximum damage. In this guide, I will break down everything you need to know to dominate every match with Aamon, including his combos, skills, and gameplay tips. Let's dive in!
Overview of Aamon's Playstyle
Aamon is known for his ability to disappear from the battlefield, deal high amounts of magic burst damage, and finish off low-health enemies. Despite his strengths, his playstyle is unique and challenging, as it requires a good understanding of his passive and skills.

- Excellent mobility and invisibility
- Strong in mid to late-game
- Great for picking off isolated enemies
Weaknesses
- Weak early game
- Fragile and vulnerable to crowd control

Understanding Aamon's Skills and Passive
Passive - Invisible Armor
Camouflage, Buff
Description: Aamon enters the Camouflage state each time he hits an enemy with a skill, during which he cannot be targeted, restores 25 (+15%Total Magic Power) plus 3% of his lost HP every 0.6s, and gains 60% extra Movement Speed that rapidly decays over 3s. Upon leaving the Camouflage state, Aamon immediately resets his Basic Attack's cooldown and enhances his Basic Attacks within the next 3s. Each enhanced Basic Attack deals 70 (+100%Total Physical Attack) (+115%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and reduces Aamon's skill cooldowns by 0.5s. The first enhanced Basic Attack's damage is increased to 120% if Aamon leaves the Camouflage state actively.
Analysis: Aamon’s passive is essential to his playstyle. Every time Aamon hits an enemy with a skill, he enters a camouflage state, during which he cannot be targeted. While in this state, his movement speed is increased by 60%, gradually decaying over 3.5 seconds. Additionally, Aamon regenerates 25 HP every 0.6 seconds.
Skill 1 - Soul Shards
Damage, Buff, CD: 7.0, Mana Cost: 40, Spell Vamp Ratio: 25%
Description: Passive: Aamon charges his armor each time he casts a skill or hits an enemy with a skill or enhanced Basic Attack. At 5 charges, Aamon throws 5 shards at the target on his next attack, each shard dealing 50 (+15%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. The shards will then scatter around the target. Active: Aamon throws a shard at a nearby enemy, dealing 175 (+60%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage.
Analysis: Aamon throws a shard at a nearby enemy, dealing 175 magic damage. This skill not only helps you initiate combat but also triggers Aamon's passive, putting him into camouflage. The shard also contributes to his armor charges, and after collecting five charges, Aamon’s next basic attack unleashes six shards that deal extra magic damage. Max this skill first as it is your primary source of damage.
Skill 2 - Slayer Shards
Damage, Camouflage, CD: 13.0, Mana Cost: 50, Spell Vamp Ratio: 25%
Description: Aamon throws a shard forward, dealing 120 (+50%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies along the way. The shard will return to Aamon after a short delay and allow him to enter the Camouflage state. If the shard hits a non-minion enemy, it'll slow them by 50% for 2s and return to Aamon immediately.
Analysis: Aamon hurls a shard forward, which returns to him after a delay. If it hits an enemy, it immediately returns and deals 120 magic damage while slowing the enemy by 50% for 2 seconds. This skill is versatile; you can use it for both chasing and escaping. Entering camouflage after hitting an enemy allows you to reposition quickly.
Ultimate - Endless Shards
Burst, CD: 55.0, Mana Cost: 150,Spell Vamp Ratio: 25%
Description: Aamon throws all shards at a designated enemy and slows them by 30% for 1.5s. After a short delay, the shards will fly to the enemy's location again, each dealing 90 (+24%Total Magic Power)-150 (+40%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. The number of shards increases with Aamon's armor charges and the shards on the ground (8-25). The damage dealt increases with the target's lost HP, to the max when the target's HP is below 30%. The same target takes less damage from subsequent attacks.
Analysis: Aamon throws all his accumulated shards at a targeted enemy, dealing up to 90 magic damage per shard. The damage scales based on how many shards Aamon has collected and increases based on the target's missing HP. The more shards, the higher the burst. Always use this skill as a finisher when your target is low on health to maximize damage.
