Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Fiddlesticks

    Terrify (Q) and Reap (E) each deal their damage in one hit, so letting them crit raises your burst on top of your Bountiful Harvest (W) drain.

  2. It's Killing Time

    Gold

    After casting your Ultimate, mark all enemy champions for death. While marked, store damage dealt to them, and detonate the damage when the mark ends.

    Why on Fiddlesticks

    Crowstorm (R) puts you on top of enemies and deals damage over several seconds, so the mark stores that damage and releases it as extra burst.

  3. Infernal Conduit

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities apply an infinitely stacking Burn, dealing magic damage over time. Your Burn effects reduce your basic Ability Cooldowns.

    Why on Fiddlesticks

    Bountiful Harvest (W) and Reap (E) hit groups of enemies, so you apply Burns to several targets, and those Burns lower your basic cooldowns so you recast sooner.
