Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn

• Consider choosing the augment on a champion that already has a decent amount of AD, critical strike chance, or penetration, even if the champion cannot use its AP.³
• For an on-hit build, consider buying Sword of Blossoming Dawn to support the team. On-hit builds can use the item to support teammates while still gaining damage; it works especially well with Angel of Retribution, Dual Wield, Double Tap, Twice Thrice, and Force of Entropy.⁴
• A support Briar build used Ethereal Weapons, Mystic Punch, Twice Thrice, this augment, Sword of Blossoming Dawn, and support items with heal and shield power and ability haste; Briar's Q repeatedly healed her and her team, while the build dealt little damage.⁵
• Depending on the available choices, upgrading a gold augment or a strong silver augment can be preferable to taking this augment.⁶

• Ethereal Weapons was used with Mystic Punch and this augment on Briar alongside Sword of Blossoming Dawn.⁵
