Mayhem Renata: Building Attack Damage into Ability Power with Arena Grandmaster and Tap Dancer

# Mayhem Renata: Building Attack Damage into Ability Power with Arena Grandmaster and Tap Dancer

GameMode: MAYHEM
Champion: Renata
Patch: 16.18

```
This is a Howling Abyss Mayhem build based on Rainbow Flavor's ultra-burst Renata gameplay. 
Renata Glasc keeps auto-attacking to stack Ability Power, while Attack Speed and Move Speed accelerate the process. The “10,000 AP” in the original title highlights an extreme scaling moment—it is not a goal to hit every game or a guarantee that you'll kill someone in one hit.
## Key Takeaways
- 
Master of Duality is the core of the scaling, while 
Tap Dancer provides the mobility and speed needed to keep auto-attacking.
- Don't charge in from the start like a full-AP burst champion. First, create enough time to safely keep auto-attacking.
- Even with huge AP, don't abandon Renata's shields, crowd control, or team support. Those tools are what let you get the next auto attack off.
- The key is how her max-health-scaling passive connects with AP scaling. Don't judge the build based only on the physical damage of her basic attacks.

### Arena Grandmaster: The Core That Turns Autos into AP
The Korean card for Master of Duality says that you gain stacking AP from basic attacks and gain Attack Damage when you damage enemies with abilities. That is different from saying that simply casting abilities into thin air increases your Attack Damage. In this build, repeatedly basic-attacking to gain AP is especially important.
Renata's basic attacks are tied to a passive that deals magic damage based on the target's maximum health. The more AP you stack, the greater that threat becomes, so auto-attacking is both your way of scaling and your way of delivering that scaled damage. However, don't make up assumptions about whether the stacks are permanent or what causes them to reset if the card doesn't confirm it. You also need to avoid situations where your team collapses while you're standing far away farming numbers.
### Tap Dancer: Speed That Creates More Attack Opportunities
Tap Dancer increases your Move Speed when you basic-attack and increases your Attack Speed based on your Move Speed. It's important not to misread it as a permanent effect that grants Move Speed based on Attack Speed. The interaction is driven by starting and continuing your auto attacks.
Use the Move Speed to maintain distance before using it to chase. To get value from Arena Grandmaster, you need to step out of the enemy's attack range and then be able to auto-attack again. Don't run laps around the enemy team just because you're fast; move to the side and behind your frontline while using them as a reference point, keeping targets within auto range.
### When You Don't Get Both Augments
If you only have Arena Grandmaster, keep the AP-scaling plan, but first make sure you'll have enough time to attack without getting hit. Stacking only Attack Speed items greedily because you don't have Tap Dancer can get you killed the moment the enemy engages. If you only have Tap Dancer, you still get the benefits of mobility and kiting, but you won't gain the kind of AP scaling shown in the video.
If you don't have both core augments or your team has no frontline at all, prioritize a support-oriented playstyle. Protecting your team's main damage dealer and using Renata's basic role of stopping engages with Q and R can still contribute a lot. This build does not treat any unconfirmed additional augment as mandatory.
## Item Build
The recommendations below are practical additions for the two confirmed augments. They are not a definitive reconstruction of the original player's full purchase list or item order. The displayed order is a baseline for comparison and should be adjusted based on the enemy team and your scaling.

- 
Nashor's Tooth: Provides Attack Speed and AP together, supporting the plan of continuously basic-attacking. If the augments already give you enough Attack Speed and your real problem is finding chances to attack, there's no reason to always complete it first.
- 
Rabadon's Deathcap: Converts your stacked AP into damage once you've survived long enough to attack consistently. Don't sacrifice your early-game survival just because you saw the scaling sequence. If you can attack safely, you can adjust the order of the two core items.
- 
Zhonya's Hourglass: Consider it when assassins or hard engages kill you before you can even start attacking. You can't auto-attack while invulnerable, so use it to dodge a major enemy threat and set up another attack from your team's side.
- 
Void Staff: Consider it when the enemy builds Magic Resist and your scaled magic damage stops going through. If immediate survival is the issue, Zhonya's may come before penetration.
## Skill Usage: Keep the Supportive Tools Even in an Auto-Attack Build
Renata Glasc Q - Handshake is a way to catch enemies in front of you or disrupt incoming threats. Don't waste Q just to squeeze in one extra auto attack, or stopping the next engage will be difficult. Attack the same target as your allies and make use of the passive mark combo. There's no need to move into a dangerous position to chase the enemy backline.
Renata Glasc W - Bailout should be used on a target that can keep attacking. If you're safely continuing to auto-attack, you can consider casting it on yourself, but if your team's main carry is being focused, compare the value of saving them with the value of enabling a counterattack. Don't treat W's death-delay effect as permanent protection from death.
Use 
Renata Glasc E - Loyalty Program to harass enemies while also shielding your allies. Even after your AP is high, don't spend it purely as a damage tool—use it to help yourself and your frontline survive until the next attack. Connect 
Renata Glasc R - Hostile Takeover to the enemy's grouped engage path or after your team's crowd control. High AP does not mean R itself instantly deletes every enemy. No fixed level-by-level skill order is provided because it isn't shown in the video.
## Early-, Mid-, and Late-Game Teamfight Play
Early on, keep track of both safe targets to auto-attack and your allies' positions. Use minions if you have room to attack them, but don't split from your team or miss an important fight out of greed for scaling. There's no reason to fight an enemy diver head-on before your speed and AP have built up.
In the mid game, check the enemy's range and engage tools, then attack the closest safe target first. Mix movement into your autos and retreat toward your allies just before the enemy threat reaches you. If you spend all the Move Speed from your augments chasing, you may have no way back. Even if one enemy gets away, staying alive to continue attacking fits the scaling pattern better.
In the late game, your positioning for landing the first attack matters more than the raw amount of AP you have. Start behind or beside your frontline, slow incoming enemies with Q and E, and buy time with R when they group up. If there's already a nearby enemy you can attack, don't force yourself to target the farthest carry. After pushing the enemy back, consolidate your advantage by pressuring structures and regrouping with your team.
## What to Check in Team Comps and Matchups
The build is easier to play when you have a tank that creates time for Renata to attack, crowd control to punish engages, and allies who can use the marks with you. On the other hand, if your entire team is a long-range poke composition, don't walk into auto range alone—wait for the enemy to approach.
Long-range poke chips away at your health before you can start attacking, while reliable crowd control and sudden engages prevent you from making use of your accumulated speed. Don't recklessly duel enemies with tools that block basic attacks or heavy Magic Resist. More damage does not remove your range limitations or your action constraints.
## Common Mistakes
1. Treating “10,000 AP” as the standard finished value and standing in front before you've scaled.
2. Misreading Arena Grandmaster as an effect that grants Attack Damage just from casting abilities.
3. Chasing alone with Tap Dancer's Move Speed and leaving your team's protection range.
4. Forgetting about W's revive, E's shield, and R's anti-engage power just because you bought offensive items.
In short: Renata stacks AP with Arena Grandmaster and uses Tap Dancer to create opportunities for her next auto attack. The most important stat is the ability to stay in position and keep attacking.
Source scope: This is based on the Korean augment card and combat footage from the original Renata segment. The item and gameplay recommendations are supplementary suggestions; augments from other champions and exaggerated title claims have not been presented as confirmed performance.
