ARAM Mayhem Season 3: Every New Augment, the 14 Leaving and the Headliners

All 36 New Augments, Card by Card

Mayhem's augment data grows from 223 to 250 entries on the PBE: 41 new ones, 14 gone. Five of the new entries are the Pentakill band's ability upgrades (more on them under Headliners), which leaves the 36 cards below. Numbers are the PBE values; where the files do not state one, the card leaves it out.

The 14 Augments Leaving on October 21

These 14 are in the live Mayhem data and missing from the PBE data. Riot has not confirmed the list yet, but it matches the leak that went around on October 5 GameRiv. Next to each one: the share of players who took it in Mayhem games played with Hexgate over the last 30 days, and the champions it was taken on most.

  0.2%of players took it

34,436 player games in 3,478 ARAM Mayhem games played with Hexgate between September 8 and October 8, 2026. Together, the 14 were 5.6% of all augment picks.

Who Loses the Most

Across all champions, 20.3% of players took at least one of the leaving augments. For crit marksmen it was well over a third of their games, almost always for Critical Missile and Fan the Hammer. Damage-over-time champions lean on Combusting Interest instead.

If you play these champions, the new crit cards are the obvious place to look: Big Shot (Prismatic, 35% Critical Strike Damage and 25% bonus Attack Damage, with 75% of your Attack Speed turned into Critical Strike Damage) and Jeweled Bracelet (Gold, lets one ability crit and adds 25% Critical Strike Chance). How strong they are will only show once real games are played on them.

Headliners: A Band Takes the Stage Every Game

Each Mayhem game gets one Headliner, a band that changes one rule of the match. The game files hold eight. Names and rules below are the game's own text.

• 

  Pentakill

  Empower your Abilities

  Empower one of your basic Abilities, granting it 20 Ability Haste, 10% increased damage, and 10% increased Healing and Shielding. At Level 18, Empower another Ability, even your Ultimate.

  In the files as four upgrades named HEAVY, POWER, THRASH and DOOM.

• 

  K/DA

  Collect all 4 Cards to gain an Augment

  K/DA occasionally throws Photocards to their fans. Collect all four to gain an additional Augment.

• 

  True Damage

  Hype the crowd to be showered with Anvils

  Multi-kills, shutdowns and destroying towers excite the Minions, which drop Anvils for the team that generated the hype.

• 

  HEARTSTEEL

  Some Augments are enhanced by the Band

  HEARTSTEEL members can put Stickers on your Augments. Pick an Augment with a Sticker to get a bonus; each member gives a different one.

• 

  Cafe Cuties

  Healing Relics are empowered

  The Health Relic aura restores an additional 20% missing Health and grants 25% bonus Move Speed that decays over 6 seconds.

• 

  Command Line

  Hacked Rerolls improve your Augments

  Your first reroll in each Augment selection also raises the rarity of the rerolled Augment.

• 

  Space Groove

  Boogie down on the Dance Floor

  Dance on the Dance Floor until the Disco Ball drops, which grants everyone 1000 gold.

• 

  The Bee Band

  Grab the Honey, avoid the Bees

  Honey and Bees fly across the map. Honey gives your team 200 gold and heals you for 20% of your maximum Health; a Bee hit costs you 30% of your maximum Health.

Audition Missions and Reward Tracks

Four bands bring Audition Missions: goals you finish within a single game, like dancing in the middle of the map, landing skillshots or dealing damage with augments. Every completed mission tier counts toward that band's reward track, and tier 2 of a mission opens once tier 1 is done. On the PBE, each track lists Fame, Orange Essence, a band icon and three of the new augments Blitz.gg

• PentakillFruitify, No Mana, No Problem, Hands off the Talent
• HEARTSTEELLich Brain, Sap Magic, Upgrade Stormsurge
• True DamageLonely Warrior, Weapon of Destiny, Third Times the Harm
• K/DASound Barrier, Gift of the Drowned, Arcane Axiom

Reward tracks on the PBE are the most likely part of this update to change before October 21, so treat the exact rewards as a preview.

Be Ready on October 21

We build Hexgate, a free League companion app, so here is what it does in ARAM Mayhem. Season 3 changes the cards, not how the app reads them.

• A tier under every augment card Free

  An S to D badge under each of the three cards, ranked for your champion, updated when you reroll. New augments get a badge as soon as Hexgate's tier data covers them; until then a card shows no badge rather than a guess.

• Champion tiers for the offer and the bench Free

  Mayhem tiers for the champions you are offered and everything on the bench, so the swap decision takes a second.

• Items re-ranked against the enemy team Free

  Your next item, reordered against the five champions you are actually fighting, with the reason on every move.

• Clips of your Mayhem games Pro+

  Turn on Mayhem in Clips and every kill, death and assist is saved on your PC, ready to rewatch.
