🃏 Rhaast Hero Augment – Alter Ego:

Gain a Rhaast. Your strongest Rhaast enters Shadow Assassin form and his ability is replaced with a dash and 1 hex spin. If it kills, he immediately casts again.

🛠️ Rhaast’s Alter Ego Hero Augment transforms him from a durable frontline fighter into an aggressive assassin. When this augment is active:

✅ You gain a Rhaast, and your strongest Rhaast enters Shadow Assassin form.

✅ His ability changes: Instead of Reaping Slash, he now dashes and spins around a 1-hex radius, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

✅ If this ability kills a target, Rhaast immediately casts again, allowing for chain executions.

• 🔄 Playstyle Shift: Instead of being a tanky sustain unit, Rhaast becomes an assassin-style damage dealer, making positioning crucial.
• 💥 Itemization: Prioritize damage items like Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, and Deathblade to maximize his burst potential.
• 🤝 Synergy Consideration: While he benefits from Vanguard’s durability, he now fits better in aggressive comps with attack damage boosts or resets.

🔥 This augment gives Rhaast high carry potential, rewarding players who position him well for quick eliminations and chain casts.

The Alter Ego Hero Augment transforms Rhaast into a Shadow Assassin, drastically changing his role from a tanky frontline fighter to a mobile damage dealer. Here’s how to play around this powerful augment:

📍 1. Positioning – Play Him Like an Assassin

• 🎯 Backline Jump: Since he dashes into enemies, position him diagonally opposite the enemy carry to ensure he dives onto key targets.
• 🚫 Avoid Clumping: If enemies have crowd control (CC), keep Rhaast separated from other units.
• 🔪 Target Squishy Units: Let him focus on backline damage dealers instead of tanky frontliners.

🛡️ 2. Choosing the Best Items for Rhaast

Since Rhaast now relies on his spin attack and resets, you need items that increase his damage and survivability:

📌 Core Items:

• 🩸 Bloodthirster – Provides lifesteal and a shield, ensuring Rhaast survives longer in fights.
• 💥 Infinity Edge – Boosts his crit damage, making his spin much deadlier.
• ⚔️ Deathblade – Stacks AD for massive burst damage.

📌 Alternative Items:

• 🛡️ Titan’s Resolve – Increases attack damage and tankiness over time.
• ✋ Hand of Justice – Gives extra damage or healing, both useful.
• 🕶️ Edge of Night – Prevents Rhaast from getting one-shot, allowing for more resets.

🏗️ 3. Best Team Comps for Alter Ego Rhaast

• 🛠️ a. Divinicorp + Attack Damage Boosts (Best Option)
• 🏹 Core Units: Rhaast, Senna, Morgana, Gragas, Renekton
• ⭐ Why It Works: Divinicorp grants bonus stats, boosting Rhaast’s damage and sustain.

🛡️ b. Vanguard + Divinicorp Hybrid

• 🏹 Core Units: Rhaast, Jarvan IV, Leona, Senna
• ⭐ Why It Works: Vanguards provide some durability, while Divinicorp (Senna) boosts attack speed, helping Rhaast clean up fights.

Rhaast with Alter Ego becomes a reset-heavy assassin, capable of wiping out backlines if positioned and itemized correctly. Play him aggressively, give him sustain, and watch him dominate fights with his chaining ability casts.
