Tips

  • A classic critical strike build on Tristana can benefit from Master of Duality: her E scales with critical strike chance and attack damage, while the augment can quickly build ability power, letting E deal 4,000 damage.3
  • A full tank Volibear build with Mystic Punch and Master of Duality can build up high ability power and attack speed.4
  • A full tank Udyr with Protein Shake, high ability haste and Master of Duality can repeatedly cast abilities while gaining ability power and shields.5

Interactions

  • Master of Duality stacks gained before a round affect Megamind's level 1 shield. Upgrading Megamind to level 2 refreshes the shield after four seconds using current ability power.6
  • With Double Tap, Jewelled Gauntlet and Ethereal Weapon, Blitzcrank's R keeps triggering after one basic attack and continues until enemies die.7
  • Fan the Hammer with Master of Duality grants about 300 ability power per hit because the on-hit effect applies 100% of the ability power instead of 20%.8
  • With Moonflair Spellblade, Orianna's Q, W and E can each reset her basic attack; hitting with them quickly stacks Master of Duality repeatedly.910
  • Auto-casts count as ability casts for Master of Duality.11
  • Adapt or Escapade can pair with Master of Duality, depending on which stat is needed.12
  • High attack damage from Master of Duality can help Fiora and Decapitator deal more than 100% true damage with a single vital.13
  • Master of Duality can work with Riven.14
  • Mystic Punch, Reverberation and Master of Duality can pair with Transcendence.15
