The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

Do these synergies stack?

Good evening all,

Could someone confirm whether these synergies stack or does the game choose the highest beneficial synergy and ignore the others?

If I'm reading this correctly, Vulture's damaging debuff should be getting a significant bump in damage.

Insightful thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

    Bro it literally says right there that it won't stack

    Yeah, with duplicate synergies. How I've always interpreted it is that if you have two Spidey (Starks), you don't get double the benefit. In this case, it's different synergies.

    No it won't work that way. even if you have anniihilius sauroan and vulture in your team, vulture only gets the benefit onve and not twice

    @DNA3000: Hey DNA. Maybe you can answer this but wouldn't Vulture get an 80% damaging boost if Darkhawk & Spidey were on the team?

    40% incinerate damage + 40% debuff potency?

    If that's your concern then yes, you'll get increased debuff damage from both.

    Okay, so you're saying the game will choose the most beneficial synergy and ignore the rest?

    *Similar to how having multiple Mr. Fantastics on a team will grant you the synergy bonus from the highest star rating?

    Yeah, that's what I was wondering. If Sauron & Darkhawk & Sparky are on the team, I should be getting an 80% boost on my damaging debuffs plus an additional 20% attack damage rating, no?

    Yes, they will stack

    Okay thanks! Unfortunately, I don't feel the incinerate damage potency being that much but I do notice a difference with my siphon burn.

    No they won’t stack.
    Yes they will stack.

    Make up your mind, lol.

    Actually, sounds like OP was asking all along about DIFFERENT Synergies.

    Yes, if it is just a single synergy listing (even if the same synergy, but listed on 2 different champ profiles, aka I think some of Proxima's are doubly listed both on her as well as on her partner's profile page too), then that synergy only is applied once. No matter if using duplicates of the SAME of either the synergy holder or synergy partner. Or if using all of the assorted partners all listed on that synergy. It only counts once (aka, synergy is among 4 champs, but using all 4 of them doesn’t let you have multiple stacks).

    BUT, OP asked about DIFFERENT synergies. Even if they both affect the same underlying damage source, or affect similar stat, if they are different synergies, then they should each get to be applied.
    **especially since the one synergy seems to reference the other synergy and saying it will give a boost to that other synergy.

    For example (although the following don’t have the “does not stack” remark, but let's say they did).
    Synergy 1 = Increase Attack by 6%
    Some other Synergy 2 = Increase Attack and Health by 3%

    You wouldn’t say that the above would only result in a 6% Attack and 3% Health. You would get 9% on Attack and 3% Health, because they are different synergies.

    The different synergies should stack. If you’re not noticing much a difference, it would simply be due to Vulture’s incinerate debuff damage being terrible. Even with the synergies, the incinerate isn’t supposed to be a major source of his damage at all, he gets most of it from hit damage and siphon burn.

    40% incinerate damage + 40% debuff potency?

    SummonerNR has it correct, but just to answer the question, yes, you'd get both.

    In general, you get all the benefits of all the synergy interactions on your team. The general exception is for synergies listed as a "Unique Synergy" which specifies that you can only benefit from that synergy once. This limit is enforced on that specific synergy, not the benefit. In other words, if you had a unique synergy that offered +10% attack and another completely different unique synergy that offered +10% attack, you'd get both. The uniqueness is enforced on the named synergy itself: if you have two or more champions that each activate the same unique synergy, you only get the benefits of that synergy once.
