League of Legends is adding new augments to ARAM: Mayhem in Patch 26.21, with Riot previewing some pretty wild ways to fight. Players will be able to ride an exploding rocket, blast enemies with a giant trumpet, and gamble their lives on securing a takedown.
The preview shared by Riot Games shows five upcoming augments, covering everything from aggressive engages to healing nearby teammates.
In brief:
- Five previewed augments include Get Jinxed, Brass Blast, Bees!!!, Totentanz, and Salvation.
- Totentanz makes you unkillable but requires a champion takedown within five seconds, or you die.
- Salvation triggers below 50% health, damaging and knocking away enemies while healing nearby allies.
- The additions are coming in Patch 26.21, scheduled for October 21, 2026.
New ARAM Mayhem Augments in LoL Patch 26.21
Get Jinxed
Get Jinxed lets your champion ride a rocket that explodes when it collides with an enemy, structure, or wall.
It’s easily one of the flashiest additions in the preview. Watching your champion fly into a fight on a rocket should fit right into Mayhem’s chaotic team battles, though the preview leaves its damage and other numbers unspecified.
Brass Blast
Brass Blast has you charge up a large trumpet before unleashing a blast that knocks enemies back and deals magic damage to those hit.
The knockback could make it useful when opponents get too close to your team. Timing and positioning should matter here, especially if you’re trying to push enemies away from a vulnerable ally.
Bees!!!
Bees!!! periodically empowers your next ability hit against an enemy champion, launching a hive of bees that explodes.
So, that gives players another reason to keep landing their spells. The preview doesn’t specify the trigger interval or explosion damage, so we’ll need those details before judging which champions benefit most.
Totentanz
Totentanz is the biggest gamble of the five. You blink forward and become unkillable, but you must earn a champion takedown within five seconds. Fail, and you die.
And that condition puts serious pressure on your follow-up. Jumping into a fight with a weakened enemy nearby sounds tempting, while using it too early could hand the opposing team an opportunity to back away and let the timer expire.
The wording specifically says takedown, so the requirement includes getting an assist.
Salvation
Salvation activates when your health drops below 50%. It deals magic damage and knocks away nearby enemies while healing nearby allies.
It could be particularly useful during close teamfights, where the knockback creates breathing room, and the healing helps teammates keep fighting. Its value will depend partly on the cooldown and healing numbers, which aren’t shown in the preview.
When Do the New ARAM Mayhem Augments Release?
The new augments are coming with League of Legends Patch 26.21, currently scheduled for October 21, 2026. Riot’s patch schedule can change, so treat that as the planned release date.
