Best Augments

• Courage of the Colossus: Grants a shield scaling with max health after immobilizing an enemy, making Alistar even more durable when using his combo.
• Perseverance: Greatly increases health regeneration, especially useful when Alistar is low on health, keeping him in the fight longer.
• Tormentor: Immobilizing enemies applies a burn effect, adding damage over time to his already disruptive abilities.

Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath's scaling health and disruptive abilities make him a terrifying presence in the Arena. His ultimate, which deals true damage and grants him permanent health, is particularly potent. Cho’gath is the ultimate final boss of Arena as his abilities become more and more disruptive with his size. 

Best Augments

• Goliath: Increases health and adaptive force but reduces attack speed, fitting Cho'Gath’s tanky, ability-focused playstyle.
• Slow Cooker: Applies a stacking burn every second in combat. The burn stacks infinitely. 
• Steel your Heart: Upon reaching 325+ stacks on Heartsteel, your stacks will be multiplied by 6 and health regen will increase by 10% of your stacks.

Poppy

Poppy excels at protecting allies and controlling key areas of the map. Her steadfast presence and ability to interrupt enemy dashes make her a unique and valuable tank. Poppy’s E becomes a key ability in Arena, working best when the storm begins to shrink.

Best Augments

• Courage of the Colossus: Gives poppy a shield everytime she immobilizes an enemy
• Bread & Cheese: Poppy gains 200 ability haste on her E, allowing her to ram out enemy champions every 2 second.
• Impassable: Gain the Aftershock and Glacial Augment runes. 

Dr. Mundo

Dr. Mundo’s high health regeneration and resilience make him a sustained threat in any fight. His ability to continually regenerate health makes him hard to kill. Mundo’s main goal is to build as much health as possible mainly through Heartsteel. Combine this with a Spirit Visage for boosted healing on Ult and some resistances, Mundo will surely be a force to be reckoned with. 

Best Augments

• Perseverance: Mundo will gain 800% health regeneration, increased to 1600% when under 25% health.
• Raid Boss: Start each round chained in the center of the map, upon breaking out gain size, health, ability power, and attack damage.
• Steel your Heart: Upon reaching 325+ stacks on Heartsteel, your stacks will be multiplied by 6 and health regen will increase by 10% of your stacks.

Nunu & Willump

Nunu & Willump’s combination of crowd control and mobility makes them a versatile tank duo. Their snowballing abilities and ultimate provide significant disruption. For itemization, Nunu will build healing and shielding power with stuff like Moonstone and Spirit Visage, boosting his Q and making him further unkillable.

Best Augments

• Bread and Butter: Q ability gains 200 ability haste, Nunu’s Q will allow him to massively heal every 2 second.
• Phenomenal Evil: Permanently grants 1 ability power everytime you hit an enemy champion.
• Goliath: Nunu will become large, gaining 35% health and 15% adaptive force.
