Patch 26.3 New Augments Overview - All 41 New Hextech Augments Analyzed
Patch 26.3 brings a massive update with 41 new Hextech Augments (15 Prismatic + 13 Gold + 13 Silver). This article breaks down the standout augments and risky picks by rarity tier.
Patch Overview
Patch 26.3 introduces 41 brand new augments to ARAM Mayhem - the largest augment update to date. The distribution by rarity is: 15 Prismatic, 13 Gold, and 13 Silver. Below we analyze the standout augments at each tier based on actual performance data.
Gold Tier Highlights
Several new Gold augments show exceptional performance. Transcendent Evil leads the pack with an astonishing 67.8% win rate, arguably the strongest augment of this update:
| Augment Name | Win Rate | Rating |
|---|---|---|
 Phenomenal Evil | 67.8% | T0 Must-pick |
| Red Envelope | 62.9% | S-tier Strong |
 Sonata | 60.8% | S-tier Strong |
 Shrink Engine | 60.6% | S-tier Strong |
Prismatic Tier Highlights
As the highest rarity tier, 15 new Prismatic augments were added. The top performers:
| Augment Name | Win Rate | Rating |
|---|---|---|
 Infinite Recursion | 58.9% | A-tier Excellent |
 Icathia's Fall | 58.1% | A-tier Excellent |
| Watch Out for Cupcakes! | 54.7% | B-tier Viable |
Prismatic augments show overall lower win rates compared to Gold tier, possibly because higher rarity creates higher expectations - the actual performance doesn't always surpass quality Gold augments.
Silver Tier Highlights
Despite being the lowest rarity, Silver tier has some excellent value picks:
| Augment Name | Win Rate | Rating |
|---|---|---|
 FireFox | 58.8% | S-tier Strong |
| Overloaded Burst | 56.1% | A-tier Excellent |
| Upgrade: Thornmail | 55.9% | A-tier Excellent |
