Current patch decision guide

When to pick Augran, when to avoid them, and how to adapt your build.

Updated 2026-05-31

Augran is a top-tier Jungle Fighter who wants to close distance on a chosen target and stick to them. Public guide data shows a build centered on Thunderclap Brand, Nettle Gauntlet, Shadow Ripper, used to clear camps efficiently and convert pressure into ganks. Pick her when the draft lets Augran reach the targets her kit is designed to threaten; avoid when the enemy chains crowd control that stops the engage before damage lands.

Pick Augran when

  • Your draft can capitalize on early picks and snowball lane leads
  • Your team can engage first, letting Augran second-wave into low-health targets
  • The enemy draft includes Luna, Shangguan, and Zhou Yu, who appear in counter data as matchups Augran can pressure.

Avoid Augran when

  • The team needs sustained team-fight damage rather than a single-target diver
  • Your team has no primary engage, leaving the cleanup pick with nothing to follow up on
  • The enemy team is built around answers to Gap-Close, removing the windows Augran's kit needs to perform.

Power spikes

Early game: jungle clear into level-4 ganks is the first window where Augran can translate routes into kills.
Ultimate unlocked: Conductor of Souls converts mobility into burst, the moment Augran starts threatening picks across the map
Late game: cooldowns become short enough that Death's Precipice influences every team fight rather than being a one-shot tool.

Build decisions

Crit-bruiser jungle core

Augran's official camp build leans into his Gap-Close and Cleanup pattern with a crit-bruiser path. Thunderclap Brand (physical attack and crit rate) and Shadow Ripper (crits boost attack speed) ramp his crit pressure, while Eternity Blade adds high crit damage and Doomsday scales his basic-attack output. Nettle Gauntlet (offense and defense) and Boots of Fortitude (reduces physical damage) keep him durable enough to dive and clean up after the first engage.

Survivability & resistance tail

Demonsbane raises magic defence against mage-heavy comps, while Pure Sky and Immovable - Sky Dome (temporary damage reduction), Sage's Sanctuary (on-the-spot resurrect) and Destiny (negates fatal damage) are the late-game insurance items that let Augran commit to a dive and survive the return fire. Layer the defensive picks situationally once he is being focused.

Matchup logic

Versus crowd control

Reliable hard control stops Augran's engage before the combo lands. Bait the most threatening control skill before committing Conductor of Souls, and wait for ally engage to absorb peel.

Role positioning

Augran is a Jungle pick whose value depends on tempo from objectives and cross-map kill threats. Stick to the role plan rather than forcing fights her kit is not designed to win.

Synergies

Public synergy data lists Ming, Yaria, and Cai Yan as strong partners for Augran. Plan engages around Ming's setup window, then second-engage with Conductor of Souls.

Common mistakes

  • Engaging without follow-up — gap-close gets you to the target, but a solo dive without ally damage trades 1-for-1.
  • Engaging first instead of second — cleanup picks lose their value as primary engagers.
  • Engaging without checking enemy summoner-spell cooldowns, which often decide whether Augran's commit reaches the target alive.
  • Pathing predictably and getting tracked by the enemy jungler — vary first clear and rotate based on ward placement rather than muscle memory.

Background

Soulguide

Riverlands
“Life is but a journey, and death but a return.”

Qi's life should have been filled with light and joy. He was friendly, outgoing, and full of youth and laughter. But then the Wilting happened, and a sudden disaster took all of his friends overnight. Qi carries this pain in his heart as he marches on. With his spear, he cut himself off from the past and settled in the marshes. Now, he is Augran, the ruthless High Priest who commands the power of life and death, and the only one who can put an end to the Wilting.

Skills

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.

skill1 Path of Passing

Slashes open 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.

skill2 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 additionally attacks up to 3 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.
