The Hitman and the Seer

Innate: Aphelios wields 5 Lunari Weapons made by his sister Alune. He has access to two at a time: main weapon and off-hand weapon. Each weapon grants him a unique basic attack and a primary ability. Moonlight: Attacks and abilities consume a weapon's ammo. When out of ammo, Aphelios discards the weapon to the reserve and Alune assembles the next of the 5. Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities with skill points, instead he spend those for bonus stats:  attack damage,  attack speed, and  lethality.

Innate: Aphelios has access to an arsenal of 5 Moonstone Weapons, created by his sister Alune. He equips two weapons at any one time, one as his main weapon and one as his off-hand. Each weapon has a unique basic attack and effect.

Aphelios begins the game with Calibrum as his main weapon and Severum in his off-hand, with Gravitum, Infernum, and Crescendum queued in reserve. His weapons are initially in this order, but they can be rearranged based on their usage.

Innate - Moonlight: Weapons granted to Aphelios have 50 Moonlight for ammunition, which is consumed upon basic attacking on-attack and upon casting his primary abilities. Any of his abilities that automatically cause him to attack during their effect will not consume additional Moonlight. Once his main weapon's Moonlight is exhausted, it is moved to the end of the reserve queue; Alune then assembles his next available weapon from the reserve over 1 second, placing its primary ability on a 1.5-second  cooldown from the start of the assembly. Aphelios cannot cast Phase during the assembly.

Innate - Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities via skill points. He starts the game with Phase and automatically gains access to his primary abilities at level 2 and his ultimate ability, Moonlight Vigil, at level 6. Moonlight Vigil improves automatically at levels 11 and 16. Aphelios may spend his skill points to gain  bonus attack damage,  bonus attack speed or  lethality instead.

Bonus Attack Damage:

5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30

Bonus Attack Speed:

9 / 18 / 27 / 36 / 45 / 54%

Lethality:

5.5 / 11 / 16.5 / 22 / 27.5 / 33

"This will be your voice."

• The attack damage, attack speed and lethality within Aphelios' unique rank-up menu in the HUD correspond to the Q, W, E ability rank-up hotkeys, respectively, for the purposes of assigning skill points via keyboard.
• Due to Aphelios lacking a fourth rankup option (R), his point assigment does not follow the same rules as other champions.
  • For example, the earliest level that an individual statistic can attain rank 6 is level 9, by assigning points at levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 9.
• An ammunition counter will appear to the right side of the screen when Aphelios' main weapon has 10 or less Moonlight.
• While at lower than 10 Moonlight, casting his primary abilities will not spend additional Moonlight but instead consume all the remaining points.
• Runaan's Hurricane's Wind's Fury will not consume additional Moonlight when firing its bolts.

Weapons of the Faithful

The active effect of Aphelios' ability varies based on his current main weapon.

• Calibrum - Moonshot: Long range shot that marks its target for a long-range follow-up attack.
• Severum - Onslaught: Gain bonus  movement speed while attacking a single enemy with both weapons.
• Gravitum - Binding Eclipse: Root enemies who are slowed by this weapon.
• Infernum - Duskwave: Blast enemies in a cone and attack them with your off-hand weapon.
• Crescendum - Sentry: Deploy a sentry with your off-hand weapon that attacks nearby enemies.

The active effect of Aphelios' varies based on his current main weapon.

The individual actives do not share a cooldown.

 Edit 

Calibrum, the Sniper Rifle

COST:

1 Moonlight per attack

Attack Missile Speed:

3000

Aphelios has  bonus range while Calibrum is his main weapon. Abilities will mark targets, and he may attack them from far away with the current off-hand weapon, consuming all marks and dealing bonus physical damage for each mark consumed. While Calibrum is the main weapon, his ability will be:

Aphelios gains  100 bonus attack range while Calibrum is his main weapon. Enemies damaged by Calibrum through an ability are marked for 4.5 seconds, revealing them for the duration. Aphelios' next basic attack against a marked target uses the current off-hand weapon and has  1800 range, increased missile speed, and a brief cast time that lasts shorter based on Aphelios' proximity to the target.

The empowered attack will consume the marks from all targets, dealing 15 (+ 20% bonus AD) bonus physical damage to the main target for each mark consumed. If Calibrum is the current off-hand weapon, the main weapon is used for the attack instead.

Severum, the Scythe Pistol

COST:

1 Moonlight per attack

Aphelios' basic attacks will heal him, and create a shield from excess healing. While Severum is the main weapon, his ability will be:

Basic attacks with Severum are non-projectile and have an uncancellable windup. Severum's attacks heal Aphelios for 2% – 7.1% (based on level) of the post-mitigation damage dealt, increased to 5% – 17.75% (based on level) for attacks from abilities.

Healing from Severum in excess of Aphelios'  maximum health is converted into a shield for an amount of up to 10 – 140 (based on level) (+ 6% maximum health), lingering for up to 30 seconds.

Infernum, the Flamethrower

COST:

1 Moonlight per attack

Attack Missile Speed:

1700

Aphelios' basic attacks will hit all enemies in its trajectory, dealing increased damage to the main target and less damage to other targets. The attack will then spread into a cone behind his main target. While Infernum is the main weapon, his ability will be:

Basic attacks with Infernum shoot a fire bolt that upon arrival splits into a cone of 4 lesser bolts behind the target, dealing damage to enemies they pass through. The fire bolt deals 110% AD physical damage to the primary target. Secondary targets hit by any bolt are dealt 75 / 100% (based on level) of the triggering attack's damage, reduced to 23 / 30% (based on level) against minions.

Critical strikes instead spray 6 missiles in a 50% wider cone. Secondary targets hit count as being critically struck but do not take any additional damage.

Crescendum, the Chakram

COST:

1 Moonlight per attack

Attack Outbound Missile Speed:

5000 – 1700

Attack Inbound Missile Speed:

600 (+ 75 per 10% bonus attack speed)

Aphelios throws a chakram as his basic attack and he cannot attack again until it returns to him. Other abilities will create mirror chakrams that he gathers, and his basic attacks deal bonus physical damage based on how many mirror chakrams he holds. While Crescendum is the main weapon, his ability will be:

Basic attacks with Crescendum hurl the blade at the target, which lingers for 0.25 seconds before homing back to Aphelios. He is unable to declare basic attacks until he retrieves Crescendum, but the attack timer is reset once caught.

Whenever Aphelios casts an ability that would require him to throw Crescendum, he instead fires a spectral Chakram at the target that similarly returns to him. Aphelios accumulates the Chakrams he catches, up to 20, which last for 5 seconds or until Crescendum is depleted of Moonlight. Attacks with Crescendum against champions will refresh the duration of Chakrams.

Attacks with Crescendum are empowered to deal 0% – 138.5% (based on number of Chakrams) AD bonus physical damage and have a lower windup of 10.67%, further decreased to 6.67% when critically striking. The bonus damage from Chakrams is affected by critical strike modifiers.

Sentry

COST:

COOLDOWN:

9 – 6 (based on level)

CAST TIME:

0.25

TARGET RANGE:

475

EFFECT RADIUS:

500

Active: Aphelios deploys a lunar sentry that gains a copy of his off-hand weapon and attacks with it, dealing physical damage.

Active: Aphelios deploys a lunar sentry at the target location that arms after 0.35 seconds, lasting for up to 20 seconds, during which it is inactive and untargetable. The sentry activates if an enemy is within range of it, reducing its duration to 4 seconds and becoming targetable. Sentries have 6 health and take 3 damage per ranged basic attack and 4 damage per hit by abilities. Turret attacks destroy sentries instantly.

The sentry grants sight of its surroundings and autonomously attacks the nearest visible enemy in range with a replica of Aphelios' current off-hand weapon, dealing 35 – 125 (based on level) (+ 42% – 60% (based on level) bonus AD) (+ 50% AP) physical damage per hit. The sentry can critically strike for (175% +  40%) damage and benefits from both Aphelios'  attack speed and  critical strike chance at 100% effectiveness.

Active: Aphelios fires a concentrated blast of moonlight that explodes upon hitting an enemy champion, dealing physical damage to enemy champions in the area. Then basic attacks rain from the sky to the targets, dealing physical damage and applying unique effects of his main weapon.

• Calibrum: Applies an empowered mark on all targets.
• Severum: The initial blast heals Aphelios, and so do the attacks.
• Gravitum: An empowered slow applied on all targets.
• Infernum: The initial blast deals increased damage, and the attacks splash on each target.
• Crescendum: Aphelios gains more mirror chakrams with the more targets hit with the initial blast.

Active: Aphelios casts forth a lunar spotlight in the target direction that briefly grants sight of the area along its path and stops upon illuminating an enemy champion. Alune smites the area centered on the illuminated target, dealing 125 / 175 / 225 (based on level) (+ 20% bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) physical damage to enemy champions struck and locking-on to each target hit, as well as granting sight of the area for 2 seconds.

After 0.3 seconds of the illumination, attacks based on Aphelios' current main weapon will launch from the sky against each locked-on target, dealing 100% AD physical damage and applying on-hit effects. These attacks can critically strike for (120% +  40%) damage. There is no  range limit for locked-on targets.

• Calibrum: Applies an empowered mark that deals 50 / 80 / 110 (based on level) bonus physical damage per mark consumed.

• Severum: Heals Aphelios for 250 / 350 / 450 (based on level) if at least one enemy champion is hit.

• Gravitum: Increases the initial slow to 99% and empowers Binding Eclipse to root targets affected by the enhanced slow for 1.35 seconds.

• Infernum: The initial blast deals 50 / 100 / 150 (based on level) (+ 25% bonus AD) bonus physical damage.「 The attack instead deals 110% AD physical damage against locked-on targets, and causes an explosion of bolts in a 400-radius circle that deals 74.25 / 99% (based on level) AD physical damage to targets hit. 」「 Performs Infernum's attacks and Infernum's bolts in a 400-radius circle: primary targets are dealt Infernum's primary damage; secondary targets are dealt 90% of Infernum's regular bolt damage; both are modified by Moonlight Vigil's  critical damage modifier. 」Enemy champions will take damage from overlapping areas.

• Crescendum: Generates 5 additional spectral Chakrams that return to Aphelios from the first enemy champion hit, for a total of 6, on top of those from other targets hit.

• When critically striking, the attacks on locked-on targets when using Severum and Crescendum deal slightly more than 120% damage.^(bug) It is currently unknown where this damage originates from.
  • For example, at level 6 with no  attack damage bonuses, Aphelios will deal 80.7471 damage (approximated) from those attacks, whereas they are normally expected to deal 76.902. This discrepancy increases with higher attack damage.
  • PENDING FOR TEST: It is also unknown whether this is just a Practice Tool bug.
• Attacks do not apply on-attack effects.
• The attacks always count as projectiles unless Severum is being used. The lunar spotlight, however, may always be intercepted regardless of which weapon is in play as the main weapon.
  • Due to this fact, non- Severum attacks will hit targets that are farther away from the center of the blast at a slightly longer delay.
• Spell shield will block Moonlight Vigil's initial detonation damage but does not prevent the attacks from locking-on.
• All attacks from Moonlight Vigil critically strike independently from each other.
  • This includes Infernum's bolts, which also critically strike independently from the primary attack's damage.
• Changing weapons while Moonlight Vigil is in flight does not change the effect it has when it hits.
• This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
• Moonlight Vigil's effect radius is centered around the location of the missile as it collides.
• With Severum, the extra flat heal is given only once, not per target. However, all damage done by Moonlight Vigil with it also heals him from Severum's own passive effect.
• With Infernum, 14 fire bolts splash from each target hit (18 for critical strikes). Bolts do not activate if Moonlight Vigil's initial damage kills the target.
• With Crescendum, 1 spectral chakram is generated for every target hit, meaning it is possible to generate up to 10 spectral chakrams with one cast of Moonlight Vigil if it hits 5 enemy champions.
• The locked-on attacks' can be dodged and blocked, but won't be prevented if Aphelios is blinded.
  • Preventing the attack also prevents the additional effect (e.g. marking them with Gravitum or granting spectral chakrams).

Original

11.12.2019

Emerging from moonlight’s shadow with weapons drawn, Aphelios kills the enemies of his faith in brooding silence—speaking only through the certainty of his aim, and the firing of each gun. Though fueled by a poison that renders him mute, he is guided by his sister Alune in her distant temple sanctuary from where she pushes an arsenal of moonstone weapons into his hands. For as long as the moon shines overhead, Aphelios will never be alone.

Separated at primordial birth, Aphelios, a fiend of chaos, and Alune, an archoness of order, were created as enemies. Yet, drawn each night to wander by shared visions of the moon, they found each other. Abandoning their natures, they struggle to show creation that darkness can shine, even as other divinities endlessly war…

Aphelios stays quiet, preferring to worship the Bull God according to obscure “old ways” that are unfamiliar to the rest of his squad. His teammates are welcoming, if curious, but have yet to realize that Aphelios and his sister Alune are actually the Bull God's progeny, placed among the squad to face this year's Lunar Beast.

Twin spirits herald the day's end in one version of an old Ionian tale. They are brother Midnight and sister Moonlight, two sides of a heavenly coin. Night breaks beneath the brother's shroud, cast across the firmament, a pitch-black canvas upon which his luminous sister dances as she trails a veil of stars.

A multi-instrumental musical genius whose passion for his craft is nigh obsessive, Aphelios is the composer and creative backbone of HEARTSTEEL. Though he rarely ever speaks, with this wild band of musical misfits and his twin sister (the band's manager Alune) by his side, Aphelios is ready to have his creative voice heard loud and clear.

  • Innate: Aphelios has access to an arsenal of 5 Moonstone Weapons, created by his sister Alune. He equips two weapons at any one time, one as his main weapon and one as his off-hand. Each weapon has a unique basic attack and passive effect.
  • Aphelios begins the game with Calibrum as his main weapon and Severum in his off-hand, with Gravitum, Infernum, and Crescendum queued in reserve. The queue order can be rearranged based on weapon usage.
  • Moonlight: Weapons spawn with 50 Moonlight for ammunition, which is consumed on basic attacks or to cast his abilities. Abilities that cause Aphelios to attack do not cost additional Moonlight on top of their ability cost. Once his main weapon is exhausted of Moonlight, it is moved to the end of the queue and Aphelios equips the next available weapon from his reserve.
  • Weapon Master: Aphelios cannot improve his abilities with skill points. He starts the game with Phase and gains access to abilities at level 2. He gains access to Moonlight Vigil at level 6, which improves automatically at levels 11 and 16. Instead, Aphelios may spend his skill points to gain bonus attack damage, bonus attack speed or armor penetration.
    • Bonus Attack Damage: 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24.
    • Bonus Attack Speed: 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 / 36%.

• Calibrum (R1)
  • Innate: Aphelios gains  100 bonus range while Calibrum is his main weapon.
  • Precision: Enemies damaged by Calibrum via an ability are marked for 4.5 seconds, revealing them for the duration. Aphelios's next basic attack against a marked target uses the current off-hand weapon and gains  global range.
  • This attack will consume all marks, dealing 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) bonus physical damage per mark to the initial target. If Calibrum is the current off-hand weapon, the empowered attack uses the main weapon instead.
  • Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
• Moonshot (Q1)
  • Calibrum - Active: Aphelios fires a bolt of energy in a line, dealing 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (based on level) (+ 60% bonus AD) (+ 100% AP) physical damage to the first enemy hit.
  • Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.

  • Resurgent: Severum's attacks heal him for 8% – 25% (based on level) of damage dealt.
  • Healing from Severum in excess of Aphelios' maximum health is converted into a shield for an amount of up to 10 – 140 (based on level) (+ 6% maximum health), lasting for up to 30 seconds.
  • Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.
• Onslaught (Q2)
  • Severum - Active: For 1.75 seconds, Aphelios gains 20% (+ 10% per 100 AP)  bonus movement speed and autonomously performs up to 6 (+ 3 per 100% bonus attack speed) attacks over the duration to the nearest enemy, prioritizing enemy champions.
  • Attacks alternate between Severum and his current off-hand weapon, each dealing 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (based on level) (+ 35% bonus AD) physical damage, 25% on-hit damage and can critically strike. This will consume Moonlight from Severum regardless of whether the attacks are used.
  • Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
  • Cooldown: 10 / 9 / 8 (based on level) seconds.
• Gravitum (R3)
  • Innate - Binding: Gravitum applies a 30% slow that decays over 3.5 seconds.
  • Cost: 1 Moonlight per attack.

After a delay, Aphelios then fires a volley of basic attacks from his current off-hand weapon, one at each locked-on enemy. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.
  • Cost: 10 Moonlight + 60 mana.
  • Cooldown: 9 / 8 / 7 / 6 (based on level) seconds.
• Crescendum (R5)
  • Innate: Basic attacks with Crescendum hurl the blade at the target, which lingers for 0.25 seconds before homing back to Aphelios. He is disarmed until he retrieves Crescendum, but the attack timer is reset once caught.
  • Arcing: Whenever Aphelios casts an ability that would require him to throw Crescendum, he instead throws a spectral Chakram at his target that similarly returns to him. Aphelios accumulates the Chakrams he catches, up to 20, which last for 5 seconds. Attacks against champions and epic monsters will refresh the lifespan on Chakrams.

  • The sentry autonomously attacks the nearest enemy in range with a clone of Aphelios' current off-hand weapon, dealing 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 (based on level) (+ 50% bonus AD) (+ 50% AP) physical damage. The sentry can critically strike and benefits from Aphelios'  attack speed and  critical strike chance.

  • Cooldown: 9 / 8.25 / 7.5 / 6.75 / 6 (based on level) seconds.

  • After a delay, basic attacks will begin raining from the sky based on Aphelios' current main weapon, one upon each enemy locked-on by Moonlight Vigil. These attacks can critically strike for (50% + 18.75%) AD bonus physical damage. There is no range limit for locked-on targets.
    • Calibrum: Applies an empowered mark that deals 20 / 45 / 70 (based on level) additional physical damage per mark.

Trivia

• The icon for The Hitman and the Seer changes based on the active skin and functions as Alune's portrait, similarly to Aphelios' portrait.
• Aphelios means "furthest from the sun".
  • It comes from Greek "apo" meaning "far apart, away" and "Helios," the Titan god of the sun. Aurelion Sol shares the same root.
  • In astronomy, "aphelion" is "the point in the orbit of an object where it is farthest from the Sun" and has the same origin.
• Alune is possibly based on Latin luna, which shares the same PIE root *lewk- as Lux and Lucian.
• Aphelios and Alune are possibly inspired by the Sun and Moon twins from Indo-European mythology, although both twins belong to the Lunari order.
• Aphelios is the first champion to have less than four abilities.
• A unique HUD is used due to the unorthodox arrangement of his kit.
• Aphelios has a game start ceremony that forces him in place.
• Aphelios is the only champion in League of Legends who can obtain the highest amount of Lethality.
• Since Aphelios can hold two weapons at a time with The Hitman and the Seer, there are 10 different possible combinations of weapons he can have equipped. These are:
  • Calibrum and Severum
  • Calibrum and Gravitum
  • Calibrum and Infernum
  • Calibrum and Crescendum
  • Severum and Gravitum

• Aphelios was associated with a meme known as '200 years' that stemmed from a champion designer's controversial comments regarding game design experience. Despite the comment being in response to a conversation about Wukong, the meme has been affiliated with Aphelios because the comment was made shortly after Aphelios's release, because Aphelios's kit was complex in both visual clarity and mechanics, and because Aphelios was extraordinarily strong during his release.
• Aphelios's Series 2 Eternals make the following references:
  • Perfectly Balanced is a reference to Thanos from the Avengers: Infinity War MCU superhero movie.

Attack windup

The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

---

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content

Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

---

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content

Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content

Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content

Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content

Selection height

A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

---

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content

Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

• Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
• Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content

Bottom

Within a drafted team, the Bottom Carry is one of the two champions assigned to the bottom lane alongside the Support. Being the most vulnerable, the Bottom Carry has to acquire as much gold as possible to purchase key items that will greatly increase their fighting potential.

---

Within a duo lane, the optimal strategy for earning gold is to designate a single champion to farm while the other is recommended to purchase an economy item. The Bottom Carry is expected to fulfill the former designation: the position is made for champions that highly depend on item-based power spikes.

Marksmen are the most likely champions to be selected in the Bottom Carry position.

League of Legends content

Marksman

Marksmen (formerly "Carries") excel at dealing reliable sustained damage at range (usually through basic attacks) while constantly skirting the edge of danger. Although Marksmen have the ability to stay relatively safe by kiting their foes, they are very fragile and are extremely reliant on powerful item purchases to become true damage threats.

At present, Marksmen do not have any official subclasses. The following have been considered:

• Demolisher
• Scrapper

Examples

• Ashe
• Ezreal
• Lucian
• Kai'Sa
• Jhin

Marksman (Legacy)

Marksman (formerly known as 'Carry') excel at dealing reliable sustained damage at range (usually through basic attacks) while constantly skirting the edge of danger.

League of Legends content

Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content

Ranged

Ranged champions have a basic attack  range usually beyond 300 units. Many deal damage through projectiles, which are subject to mitigating effects like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for ranged characters.

On-attack

On-attack effects refer to various instances that are triggered by the user when they finish their basic attack windup.

---

Root

A unit that is rooted is unable to control its movement or activate movement spells for the duration. This effect does not innately knockdown a target that is already performing a dash. Rooted units can still be displaced.
Root is an immobilizing effect.

---

Moving includes movement commands. Movement spells include all dash and blink abilities - including Recall / Empowered Recall and the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Dash, plus a number of additional cases.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts movement channels unless otherwise stated.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.

Removal:	Removed by Cleanses.

Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

• The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.

League of Legends content

Slow

A unit that is slowed has reduced  movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below  110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.

---

Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.

---

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any actions.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity. The strength is reduced by slow resist.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity and slow immunity.

Standard sight

Standard sight reveals units through Fog of War and brush, but not stealth. It does not bypass nearsight effects.

League of Legends content

Basic damage

Basic damage is the damage dealt by most basic attacks, and a select few abilities. Most sources of basic damage have the physical damage sub-type, but this is not guaranteed.

---

Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of basic damage. For example:

• Wit's End, Blade of the Ruined King and Tiamat.
•  Life steal, Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of basic damage dealt.
• Basic damage is negated by dodge and block.

Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. The Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

League of Legends content

Physical damage

• Applies:
  • Black Cleaver's Carve
  • Chempunk Chainsword's, Executioner's Calling's and Mortal Reminder's Grievous Wounds
  • Omnivamp
  • Physical vamp
• Mitigated by:
  • Damage shields

The shield grants him damage reduction and negates the first instance of damage dealt by a champion completely from this direction.

League of Legends content

Untargetable

A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

---

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content

Death

Death occurs when a unit's  health is reduced to zero, thereby being killed. The unit can no longer act and is removed or becomes a corpse.

---

On player death, they can view the death recap and the shop to purchase items, and some item actives can be used while dead.

League of Legends content

Sight

Sight is a property of units, structures, certain summoner spells, items, and abilities that represents a team possessing vision of a target area or unit. It is always center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.

---

Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or brush, allowing them to be targeted. Standard sight cannot see stealthed units, but True Sight can.

• Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
• Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
• Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.
• All effects that use unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.

League of Legends content

Spell damage

Spell damage is the damage type dealt by most single target abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Spell damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

---

Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of spell damage. For example:

• Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
• Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
• Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 20% per instance of spell damage you deal to a champion.

Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

One For All

Players battle in a 5v5 Draft Pick in Summoner's Rift, with the only difference being that all champions on each team are the same.

During champion select, all players have the power to ban one champion from being picked at the start. After bans from both teams have been declared, players can choose to vote for a champion they want to play by a percent chance, or by majority rule if no other champions have been contested.

All champions receive the One for All buff, which grants 70 summoner spell haste and  40 bonus movement speed.

Karthus and Teemo are disabled in this mode.

League of Legends content

Heal

Healing replenishes a unit's  current health, but never above their maximum health.

---

Outgoing heals can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water.

League of Legends content

Shield

A shield adds hitpoints over the unit's  health that absorbs the next instances of damage in place of actual health. This can be improved by various items and effects depending on the type of shielding.

---

Incoming shields can trigger bonus effects from Shield Bash. Outgoing shields can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water. Shield reduction effects, exclusively Serpent's Fang, reduce all incoming and outgoing shields.
