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
Bugs
- With Moonflair Spellblade on Renekton, W counts as 25 ability uses and instantly stacks Master of Duality 25 times per cast.16
