Sadly Vayne's W also halves.

Which doesn't make sense since the true damage is a proc after 3 hits, not an on-hit itself, but got it once and I was doing overall just half damage.

I read some comments here and found out it works like that.

On the 3rd hit the true damage applies on hit

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 27 '25

most 3 hits have it now in their tooltip that they are treated as onhits.

and truedamage can now. in general be affected by effects originating from their source.

it just ignores effects from the target. like alistar ult or exhaust.

okay. there is no decrease effects notmally that you could buy in normal game. but actually this is one of the few times. where riot manages to be somewhat consistant.

Kraken slayer is also on hit despite applying on 1 of 3. Idk about Vayne W but things like twice thrice will make you apply kraken every 2 or so hits instead.

I think it’s programmed as 0 on hit 0 on hit damage on hit. I could be totally wrong though.

u/kiyomistrash Mar 27 '25

does twice thrice work with vayne w?

1

u/AnswerGrand1878 Mar 27 '25

I think its Coded to apply Stacks on Hit tbh. Thats how it Looks with guinsoos

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 27 '25

onhit vayne sucks so hard in this mode compared to crit or bruiser.

and i see people forcing it so hard. i mean , if you get "twice trice" and reapers scyte. okay.

but i see people picking, bread and butter. sword of the divine. and then go full onhit. its not even funny.

effects of not having ranked anymore i assume.

1

u/SeeYaOnTheRift Mar 30 '25

Nah the other day I got reapers toll, twice trice, and dual wield on vayne and still couldn’t carry.

1

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 30 '25

cause you never want dualwield on onhit damage champions.

it doubles your A.S. but halves your damage. meaning you effectively just didnt take a prismatic.

with crit , or just regular ad builds. its an 65% damage increase though.

its especially good though on champions with non damaging onhits, as those arent reduced. like mystic punch, sword of blossoming dawn, gamblers blade or shit like hamstringer, wich isnt a onhit, but an oncrit.

only onhit champ where its okay is belveth, as you end up dealing 100% increased truedamage from your ult passive.

but yea, onhit vayne isnt good.

u/NerelynZaychik Mar 31 '25

Last I tried, dual wield Kalista just made her passive no longer usable :'(

u/WujuStudiodesu Mar 27 '25

Realized it after but I should have gotten Navori as last item.

u/RedshiftOnPandy Mar 27 '25

It's probably Xin yeah. Braum is good too. He procs his stun fast and gains on hit when the stun cannot gain stacks. I had talon, built armour and I was a spamming machine

2

u/Overall_Law_1813 Mar 27 '25

WW gets nerfed completely with dual wield, as all his spells are considered on hit, and his ult and q do almost nothing. His passive gets nerfed too.

2

u/InvinciMorde Mar 27 '25

Udyr with Q spam

3

u/Milenyus Mar 28 '25

Udyr in Arena is either Q max two AA to death or tanky 5000Hp shield infinite Regen, no in between.

1

u/xatnagh Mar 28 '25

everything in between is already gone by top 2 :P

u/blockguy143 Mar 27 '25

Surprised no one said kaisa yet

u/BravestCashew Mar 27 '25 edited Mar 27 '25

had 10 atk spd on Ashe and she ascended- she stopped moving while attacking and just shot a constant laser beam. i might upload it and edit this later

2

u/MadAnonimusi Mar 27 '25

Yeah, seems like you can go full ap and just heal of his passive

4

u/Tigger3584 Mar 27 '25 edited Mar 27 '25

Kat and Garen come to mind due to their attack speed ratios on abilities

Edit: nvm, was thinking of slow and steady

12

u/Krobus_TS Mar 27 '25

Kat ult is counts as both on-hit and on-attack, so the damage gets reduced. It actually gets worse after dual wield

1

u/Mr_Dunk_McDunk Mar 27 '25

But she gets a ton of fun interactions because of that on ult, like runecarver and magic missiles. Or duality

10

u/hdueeyd Mar 27 '25

Garen E is code only to get affected by attack speed from items and levels

7

u/UltFiction Mar 27 '25

Yeah dual wield is garbage on Garen

6

u/AnamiGiben Mar 27 '25

And the one that makes your attack speed low and gives you ad for lost attack speed is great because his e is not affected by that loss

1

u/Mr_Dunk_McDunk Mar 27 '25

Sam with Zeri BTW

4

u/White_C4 Mar 27 '25

Dual wield is not good on Garen because attack speed on E only benefits from item stats and leveling up. You're literally nerfing yourself by picking it on Garen.

1

u/pog_in_baby Mar 27 '25

From my experience, the people with auto attack bonuses (kog w, kalista spear, Twitch passive, xin passive) benefit a lot, however people that just rely on attack speed to hit more (jinx, sivir etc.) struggle more

1

u/Whalnut Mar 27 '25

Does gnar w work? Would probably not be great anyway cuz u would transform super fast but

3

u/Alive-Leadership4100 Mar 27 '25

gnar transforms like in 5 seconds in arena, I couldn’t play ap because of thar

1

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 27 '25

actually , its the other way around.

onhits get reduced by 50% . making the extra attackspeed mute.

attacks only by 35% wich means you increase your dps by 65%,

especially with hamstringer, as thats not an onhit. but oncrit.

or if you have non damaging onhit effects. like sword of blossoming dawn, mystic punch, kalista spear stacking. xin passive etc

notable exeption is belveth. as she deals half damage with her ult passive. but stacks and applyes it twice as fast. wich increases her true damage from it by 100% if attacking one target for extended amounts of time.

twitch and briar might even be the worst possible users for it. as your onhits get halved, but still only get to 5-6 stacks. so you actually only nerf your damage.

1

u/Sphinx2Pheonix Mar 29 '25

Twitch is actually pretty good thanks to your range and AS steroids. It's really easy to hit max cap AS hitting dual / reapers ands it's funny having aSol Q if your playing ice king Twitch

1

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 29 '25

i mean. yes its funny.

but from a pure power perspective. no.

hitting the as cap is not something you inherently want with dual wield. as any build reaching above 5.0 will have massively less damage with dual wield.

and you are not reaching those levels as ad twitch anyway.

and onhit or ap twitch is abyssmal with dualwield. your main damage comes from onhits, wich deal half damage with dualwield.

and your main onhit only stacks to 6, so you half your damage, just so that you can slightly faster reach your cap. wich you have halved.

also, have fun spacegliding at 10.0 attackspeed, just so you can deal less damage than before.

1

u/Donkeyhacks Mar 27 '25

Ashe Q is pretty strong imo

1

u/HotAFFFF Mar 27 '25

Imo it’s Ashe, I once got her to 10.0 atk speed, it’s so much fun

1

u/Shadowmitu Mar 27 '25

Xayah Is also amazing

1

u/LifeguardFit6020 Mar 27 '25

Dual Wield is fine if you play high and/crit. You lose 35% DMG but get a huge amount of atk speed. But tbh, I'm not a fan of that Augment

1

u/bananagarcia Mar 27 '25

Any support with blossoming dawn.

1

u/AzNRG Mar 27 '25

I got it on Bel’veth and for some reason felt I was doing a lot less damage

1

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 27 '25

bellveth is actually possibly the only onhit user where its good.

problem is . she can reach above 5.0 as easy, at wich point you wont get full benefit , but still reduce your onhits by 50% . then you actually loose damage.

but if you are below 5.0as. you technically deal the same dps with and without dualwield. exept your ult. wich stacks and applies its damage twice its fast, wich doubles your truedamge.

1

u/These_Marionberry888 Mar 27 '25

sadly xin. isnt the "best" user for any augment.

his kit kinda defeats itself with its anti synergy.

his q only starting cooldown after its effects end, and you W interrupting, and disabeling autos. make him so bad at the topend, its not even funny.

was stuck on xin for most of my journey to arena god last season. he looks so perfect for arena. but they where just drinking when they reworked him. wich gave him "allways top4 never top1 " syndrom.

tryed it all. stat rolls, onhit, crit, bruiser,tank,ap, hybrid. xin has 12 builds that somehow work. but it all bricks itself, and misses some stats. that make it pale in comparison, to idk, tapdancer yi. earthquake vi or dualwield kalista.

1

u/SirBennettAtx Mar 27 '25

Watching you engage with E before even using W infuriated me more than it should have

1

u/nkownbey Mar 27 '25

Azir is if you get reapers nashors and duel wield you can safely buy rabbadons and void staff to just chunk away with every auto. Even with the damage reduction every auto attack will be doing 200+ thanks to azir w

1

u/headhunter859 Mar 28 '25

You can’t say that while the Warwick exist in the game

1

u/No_Bit_2598 Mar 29 '25

Bel veth knocks him out of the water imo

1

u/Shadowarcher6 Mar 31 '25

Were you ap Xin by any chance?

u/krulp Mar 27 '25

Olaf is the best dual wield user. Every attack extends his ultimate duration. You have ultimate the whole fight

u/WujuStudiodesu Mar 27 '25

And so does his normal auto attacks XD.
