Build philosophy
Augran benefits from Physical attack, Survivability — match items and runes to kit scaling.
Passive: Basic Attacks can connect to an enemy's soul, dealing damage continuously unless the enemy breaks free. When the connection ends, it deals a large amount of damage.
Arcana: Prioritize runes that boost Physical attack, Survivability for this hero's passive and skill scaling.

Build variants
Augran build variants by matchup
Use the recommended six-item build as the baseline, then adjust the last slots for frontline pressure, burst windows, or survival.
Safe default
Core path
Shadow Ripper -> Rapacious Bite -> Pure Sky -> Doomsday -> Sage's Sanctuary -> Destiny
Start here for Augran's main damage or survival curve, then change the last 1-2 slots by draft.
Anti-tank
Core path
Shadow Ripper -> Rapacious Bite -> Pure Sky
Against high-HP frontliners, keep penetration, sustained damage, or anti-tank utility instead of chasing only backline burst.
Burst
Core path
Shadow Ripper -> Rapacious Bite -> Pure Sky
When enemy carries have poor mobility, lean into burst and entry tempo, but keep an exit plan after the first combo.
Survival
Core path
Shadow Ripper -> Rapacious Bite -> Pure Sky
Against heavy crowd control, add safety before forcing dives so the first lockdown does not end the fight.
Best Arcana & Spells
| Slot | Choice | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Cataclysm | Recommended for Warrior Jungling |
| Spell | Smite | Adjust Purify/Execute based on enemy dive. |
Abilities
Skill Order
Skill 2 → Skill 1 → Conductor of Souls (max Skill 2 first)
Death's Precipice provides mobility or stick—max first. Path of Passing second for damage. Conductor of Souls on every level.
Passive
Soul Resonance
Basic Attacks can connect to an enemy's soul, dealing damage continuously unless the enemy breaks free. When the connection ends, it deals a large amount of damage.
Skill 1
Path of Passing
Carves a path to the afterlife, dealing damage to enemies hit. The path accelerates when it hits walls or the Life-Death Border, then deals extra damage. By traversing on the path, he can ignore terrain and gain Movement Speed. Hitting a wall for the first time generates an afterlife bridge, and he gains Movement Speed when crossing the bridge while enemies nearby are slowed. Using this skill again causes him to enter the Seer State.
Skill 2
Death's Precipice
Deals damage and inflicts slow on enemies to the front, then generates a Life-Death Border which damages, slows, and marks enemies who touch it. His next Basic Attack attacks up to 3 additional marked targets, dealing extra damage and recovering his Health.
Ultimate
Conductor of Souls
Descends from the sky, damaging and knocking back nearby enemies. Hitting an enemy hero will recover his Health and summon their spirit counterpart to assist him. Enters the Seer State after, in which his Basic Attacks will kill targets with low Health instantly.
Combos
1. Standard trade
Path of Passing → Death's Precipice → Conductor of Souls → weave basic attacks
When: Jungling skirmish or objective fight
2. All-in
Conductor of Souls after full rotation when Flash is down
When: Gank or backline dive with team CC
