Tahm Kench, The River King, is a melee tank and support champion. In fights Tahm Kench is a very durable champion who deals magic damage while supporting the team, with healing and shields in the kit. Here are the augments Tahm Kench players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
The extra Health raises the Health-based Attack damage from An Acquired Taste (Passive), while the Adaptive Force adds even more damage.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Each takedown adds percent bonus Health, which keeps raising the Health-based Attack damage from An Acquired Taste (Passive) as the game goes on.
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 3.5% of your max Health.
Your Attacks already scale with Health through An Acquired Taste (Passive), so this adds a second Health-based damage source and lets you build tank items while still hitting hard.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Tahm Kench players take it.
