Grandma's Chili Oil Complete Guide - Mastering 9-Stack Burn Synergy

Grandma's Chili Oil Mechanics
In ARAM Mayhem, 
Grandma's Chili Oil is a Gold augment centered on the burn mechanic. Whenever you apply burn to an enemy, a chili ring appears nearby for 5 seconds, healing allies and damaging enemies. Each additional burn source from items or augments adds 50 healing and 60 damage per second, while also expanding the ring's area. At the theoretical maximum of 9 stacks, you can reach 600 healing and 640 burn damage per second. This guide covers every burn source available.
Burn Stack Mechanics
Each additional burn source (item or augment) adds one stack to the chili ring effect: +50 healing, +60 damage per second, and increased ring area. The more stacks you have, the greater the coverage and benefit, so maximizing burn sources is the core strategy.
