Innate: Graves' basic attacks consume up to 2 shells before needing to reload. The reload speed is reduced based on his  bonus attack speed. Each attack fires several pellets in a cone that each collide with the first enemy hit. Hitting a target with multiple pellets will deal increased damage, and non-champion enemies are additionally knocked back.

Innate - Double Barrel: Graves' basic attacks fire his shotgun to consume ammunition within 2 shells. He will reload over a few seconds immediately after expending all shells or withholding leftover shells for a while. The reload time is reduced by Graves' level and  bonus attack speed, and can be interrupted by declaring an attack or casting an ability.

Innate - 12-Gauge: Graves' basic attack sprays 4 pellets in a cone, each colliding with the first enemy unit in their path, dealing 70% – 100.01% (based on level) AD physical damage plus「 23.31% – 33.3% (based on level) AD additional physical damage 」「 about one-third of the damage 」for each subsequent pellet hitting the same target, up to 139.93% – 199.92% (based on level) AD total physical damage against a single target. Pellets deal 25% reduced damage against structures.

Critical strikes spray 6 pellets over a 25% wider cone, with each pellet dealing「 (33.75% +  18%) increased damage, 」「 increased damage equal to 45%  bonus critical damage, 」resulting in「  178.312% (+ 23.997%) total damage 」「 249.52% – 356.48% (based on level) (+ 33.58% – 47.97% (based on level)) AD total physical damage 」if all pellets hit a single target.

Pellets apply  life steal at 100% effectiveness. Only the first pellet to hit each enemy applies on-hit effects.

Innate - Buckshot: Non-champion units hit by more than one pellet are knocked back, though not through terrain.

• Graves takes 2.08 seconds to reload 2 shells (when the clip is empty) and 1.3 seconds to reload 1 shell. He must idle with 1 shell for 2.08 seconds before he starts reloading. These values can be improved with bonus attack speed.
  • Values of bonus attack speed between 150% and 200% have a negative effect on Graves' reload speed.^(bug)
  • Attack speed growth will always have a positive effect on Graves' reload speed and is not counted toward the 150% and 200% attack speed thresholds. For example, Graves gains 51% bonus attack speed from attack speed growth at level 18; meaning the thresholds at level 18 are at 201% and 251% respectively.
  • Maximum reload speed is 0.651 – 0.891 (based on level), which equates to a reload timer of 1.54 – 1.12 (based on level) seconds, which is the shortest reload time at the 150% threshold.
• Graves can hit multiple individual enemies with a single shot from his basic attack. The first pellet hitting an enemy:
  • Deals the highest damage out of all other pellets.
  • Applies and triggers on-hit effects.
    • "Single-use" on-hit effects such as Spellblade items will be applied to the very first enemy hit by a pellet (closest one in this case).
  • Applies basic damage, while all additional pellets deal default damage.
  • Is reduced by Warden's Mail's Rock Solid.
• Graves' attack windup is based on such a low value that it will always take only 1 game tick, even at the lowest possible attack speed of 0.2.
• When Graves has his attack range increased by 35% to  573.75 via Rapid Firecannon's Sharpshooter, it has special effects on the cone spread of his basic attack:
  • The reach of the individual missiles is also increased by 35% to 843.75 / 783.75.
  • The spread of the individual missiles is decreased by 35% (angle  ×  1/1.35) to 17.7° / 22.2°.
• Pellets will not hit wards nor jungle plants.
  • When Graves performs a basic attack against these units, he will fire a standard ranged homing missile at the target to successfully hit it.
    • This same missile is also used for when his basic attack is empowered by an Energized effect.
• Pellets can be dodged and blocked, but not missed while Graves is blinded.
  • While Graves is blinded, the pellets are special cased to fire in a random direction that is always away from the primary target of his basic attack.
    • Enemies within range of the pellets in their randomly fired direction will be hit as the pellets cannot be missed.
• Structures can be hit by multiple pellets, as with other valid targets.
  • If Graves' basic attack critically strikes against an enemy behind their structure, and this structure is hit by all pellets, the damage dealt to the structure is increased by 33.3%.
• On-attack effects such as Help, Pix! and Runaan's Hurricane's Wind's Fury will be triggered as usual from the completion of Graves' basic attack windup. They will obey their standard target-acquisition rules in spite of Graves' special basic attack behavior.
  • Runaan's Hurricane's Wind's Fury can still fire its bolts at secondary targets even if they were already hit by the pellets of Graves' basic attack.
• Black Cleaver's Carve will be applied for the physical damage dealt by each pellet, meaning that each of Graves' basic attacks can apply up to 4 stacks of the effect, increased to the maximum of 5 with a critical strike.
• Sundered Sky's Lightshield Strike will function normally with Graves' basic attacks, causing the pellets to critically strike if the primary target was also a target of the item's effect.
  • If none of the pellets hit the target of Lightshield Strike's effect, however, the item's effect will not be consumed on the target thus not triggering the heal nor applying the on-target-cooldown, but still causing Graves' basic attack to critically strike as if the effect was successfully consumed.
    • His basic attacks against the marked target will be guaranteed to critically strike until the item's effect has been consumed by at least one pellet hitting them.
  • Pellets will not consume the item's effect on secondary targets that are also targets of the item's effect; they will not consume the mark of enemies near the primary target that are marked by Lightshield Strike.
• Randuin's Omen's Resilience will reduce the critical damage dealt by every pellet, resulting in each pellet dealing less damage than if they were to not critically strike.
• Kraken Slayer's Bring It Down VFX for its missile appears to fire at the primary target, but will always collide with the target hit by the first pellet.
• The in-game HUD for the champion's stat panel incorrectly displays Graves "reload speed" for reloading 2 shells as his attack speed, instead of displaying his actual attack speed which behaves normally like any other champion. This displayed value more accurately represents his reloads per second, and not attacks per second as the attack speed tooltip in the HUD would suggest.

  • Removing or resisting the nearsight will prevent it from being reapplied while staying inside the area (leaving and coming back inside will not).
• The nearsight debuff applies to non-champions but it does not inherently stop them from performing actions that require sight, such as basic attacking.

Active: Graves dashes in the target direction and reloads 1 shell. He also gains a stack of True Grit, doubled if he dashed toward an enemy champion. Each time he hits an enemy with a pellet, the cooldown is  reduced. True Grit: For each stack, Graves gains  bonus armor. Attacks versus non-minion enemies will refresh the duration.

Active: Graves dashes to the target location, reloading one shell while generating a stack of True Grit for 4 seconds, stacking up to 8 times. Dashing towards an enemy champion generates 2 stacks of True Grit.

Quickdraw's  current cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds for every pellet impacting an enemy.

True Grit: For each stack, Graves gains  bonus armor. Subsequent casts of Quickdraw and attacks versus non- minions will refresh the duration of True Grit.

• If Graves dashes while reloading, he can cast any of his abilities during the dash.^(bug)
• Graves gains the one additional stack of True Grit from Quickdraw if at any point during the dash a visible enemy champion is in front of Graves within 1300 distance.
  • Enemy champions have to be targetable to grant the additional stack.
  • The additional stack of True Grit is gained when dashing towards clones just like actual champions.
  • This check never happens if Graves dashes 0 distance (impossible outside of bugs), and will not always repeat a final time at the very end of the dash. Otherwise, it occurs continously while Graves is dashing.
  • This works for a 180 degree sector from Graves to the Champion, as such dashing parallel to the champ will also give a bonus stack.

Malcolm Graves is a renowned mercenary, gambler, and thief—a wanted man in every city and empire he has visited. Even though he has an explosive temper, he possesses a strict sense of criminal honor, often enforced at the business end of his double-barreled shotgun Destiny. In recent years, he has reconciled a troubled partnership with Twisted Fate, and together they have prospered once more in the turmoil of Bilgewater’s criminal underbelly.

His hallmark cigar-munching, dispassionate teaching etiquette is a small price to pay for his decades of experience.

V14.9

• New Destiny
  • Bug Fix: Sundered Sky's Lightshield Strike is no longer consumed with no effect, and now properly triggers the critical attack.

V14.8 - April 18th Hotfix

• Stats
  • Attack speed growth increased to 3% from 2.6%.
• New Destiny
  • The previous change for this ability's attack speed scaling has been reverted due to unintentionally losing its intended purpose of reducing reload time at certain amounts of bonus attack speed.

V14.8

• New Destiny
  • Increased non-growth attack speed scaling for decreasing reload time by 35%.
  • Pellet critical strike bonus damage increased to 45% from 40%.
    • Bonus damage per pellet critical strike increased to (33.75% + 22.5%) from (30% + 20%).
  • Relative bonus damage of critical attacks where all pellets hit increased to  78.3% (+ 30%) from  73.3% (+ 26.7%).
    • Maximum critical strike damage increased to 249.52% – 356.48% (based on level) (+ 41.98% – 59.97% (based on level)) AD from 242.52% – 346.48% (based on level) (+ 37.31% – 53.3% (based on level)) AD.

• Collateral Damage
  • Bug Fix: Can once again be cast while grounded.
  • New Effect: Grounding and root effects now prevent the dash after casting.

V14.2 - January 24th Hotfix

  • Critical strike damage modifier increased to 40% from 26.667%.
    • Bonus damage on critical strike increased to 73.3% (+ 18.66%) from 59.98% (+ 12.44%).
• Collateral Damage
  • Cooldown reduced to 100 / 80 / 60 seconds from 120 / 90 / 60.

V11.23

• New Destiny
  • Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where he would receive full Fleet Footwork healing if he targets a champion with a basic attack that is blocked by minions. Energized will now trigger on the first struck enemy, instead of the original target.
    • Previously, the invisible attack missile that manages interactions such as damaging wards naturally brought along the Energized proc on-attack.
    • Now works like Gangplank's Parrrley or Ezreal's Mystic Shot; When the attack applies on-hit effects and Graves has 100 stacks, it'll apply the effect. This happens even if maximum stacks were reached after the attack was fired or by the attack being fired.

V11.22

• New Destiny
  • Critical strike bonus pellet damage reduced to 20% from 30%.
    • Crit attacks where all pellets hit now deal 59.98% of the basic attacks where all pellets hit, reduced from 73.33%.
    • Critical damage amp reduced to +0.3555% per percent bonus critical damage from +0.5333% per percent bonus critical damage.
    • Reduction to the bonus critical damage (now 66.6%) is stronger than the base crit damage change (now 81.8%) due to having the same factor but different influence on the final damage.

V11.21

• Quickdraw
  • Bonus armor per stack reduced to 4 / 7 / 10 / 13 / 16 from 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 / 18.

• New Destiny - New Innate. True Grit repurposed into Quickdraw.
  • Passive - 12-Gauge: Graves stores up to 2 Shells. Each of Graves' basic attacks consumes 1 Shell and sprays four pellets in a cone, dealing damage to the first enemy they each collide with. Graves is not guaranteed to hit his target.
    • Enemies hit take 75% - 110% AD damage plus 25% - 36.6% AD damage for every pellet to hit them beyond the first. Damage scales with level. Turrets take 25% reduced damage (multiplicative).
    • critical strikes fire 4 additional pellets (+2 more with Infinity Edge).
    • Targets that take modified damage from basic attacks will only be hit by one pellet - e.g. wards, Zyra's plants and Noxious Traps.
    • Runaan's Hurricane fires its own lesser bolts at enemies near to Graves' target as if he used conventional autoattacks.
  • Passive - Buckshot: Pellets cannot pass through units, each applies on-hit effects but enemies will only suffer on-hit effects once per attack. Non-champions hit by multiple pellets are knocked back.
    • One-use on-hit effects like Sheen are applied to the first enemy hit, as with Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat.
  • Passive - Double Barrel: After using all of his Shells, Graves reloads Destiny, which takes ~2 seconds. Graves bonus attack speed slightly reduces the reload timer. If Graves sits on one Shell for 4 seconds without attacking, he automatically reloads, which takes half as long. Acquiring a Shell from Quickdraw will interrupt Graves' reloading.
• End of the Line - New Q. Buckshot repurposed into New Destiny.
  • Active: Graves fires a powder round forward in a line, dealing 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 75% bonus AD) physical damage to enemies it passes through and leaving a trail of powder on the ground.

  • New Effect: Instantly loads 1 Shell.
  • New Effect: Resets Graves' attack timer.
  • New Effect: Now grants Graves a stack of True Grit for 4 seconds, increasing Graves' Armor and Magic Resistance by 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 that stacks up to 4 times. Hits attacks against non-minions refresh the duration, but only subsequent casts will generate additional stacks.
• Collateral Damage
  • New Effect: Graves now recoils 400 units on-cast.

League of Legends content

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

Jungle

Within a drafted team, the Jungler is the champion assigned to the jungle. A Jungler needs to be able to clear jungle camps without too much difficulty and ambush other champions in lane.

Divers, Assassins, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Jungler position.

League of Legends content

Specialist

Specialists are champions that do not fit into the "neat little boxes" of the other classes, and represent Riot's ideal of having a champion roster with a lot of distinctiveness and diversity.

Examples

• Azir
• Teemo
• Heimerdinger
• Singed
• Gangplank

League of Legends content

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.

League of Legends content

Edge range

Edge range is calculated from the edge of a source unit's hitbox to the edge of a target unit's hitbox.

• Edge range is mostly used for basic attacks; skill shots; and point-blank areas of effect (including auras).
• These become more effective against large champions, as the source gains more reach against them. This may be favorable or unfavorable: durable champions tend to be larger and thus easier to hit, and frail champions tend to be smaller and more difficult to hit.

League of Legends content

Centered range

Centered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.

• Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
• It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.

League of Legends content

Critical strike

Critical strike refers to an effect that deals increased damage under specific circumstances, denoted as   critical strike damage. The most common form of critical strike occurs on basic attacks, which triggers based on  critical strike chance.

---

By default, a critical strike deals 175% of the normal damage. Critical damage modifiers such as Infinity Edge can increase this percentage.

League of Legends content

Airborne

A unit that is knocked airborne undergoes a forced displacement in a specified direction, to a specific point, or for a set duration at its current location, during which it is also unable to control its movement, declare attacks, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash.
Airborne is an immobilizing effect.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts attack windups (excluding uncancellable windups), and all channeled and charged abilities. The accompanying displacement overrides all other previous displacements, including dashes and other airborne effects.
Reduction:	The duration of airborne and its forced movement execution time is unaffected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity, displacement immunity, and Dr. Mundo's Goes Where He Pleases.
Removal:	The forced movement that is applied alongside airborne effects cannot be removed by cleanses, which innately disables attacking and moving and can be overridden by dashing, blinking or lunging. Cleansing effects, with the exceptions of Milio's Breath of Life, Cleanse, Mikael's Blessing, and Quicksilver, remove the airborne status effect.

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

Critical strike

Critical strike refers to an effect that deals increased damage under specific circumstances, denoted as   critical strike damage. The most common form of critical strike occurs on basic attacks, which triggers based on  critical strike chance.

---

By default, a critical strike deals 175% of the normal damage. Critical damage modifiers such as Infinity Edge can increase this percentage.

League of Legends content

Applies life steal

"Applies life steal" is a damage tag that gives a non-basic attack spell the property of applying  life steal from its damage, which basic attacks do by default.
This tag is located on some abilities that deal spell damage (e.g. Samira's Flair and Inferno Trigger) and items that deal damage on-hit.

---

 Life steal does not have a penalty for area of effect abilities and is always applied to the damage dealt at 100% effectiveness, unless otherwise specified. Unlike Vamp, the "applies life steal" tag applies life steal directly and does not heal based on damage dealt and the life steal stat. Therefore healing modifiers that affect life steal also affect abilities with the "applies life steal" tag.

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
  • Invulnerability
  • Damage reduction
  •  Armor
  • Physical shields
  • Death's Dance

League of Legends content

On-hit effect

On-hit is an umbrella term for a type of effect that triggers on instances of basic damage, or generally upon a basic attack or certain attack-like ability hitting a target. Most on-hit effects deal proc damage or default damage, which are non-reactive (= the effects don't trigger more effects).

---

• Critical strikes are not on-hit effects. An ability listed as applying on-hit effects cannot critically strike unless otherwise stated.
•  Life steal is not an on-hit effect. Damage from on-hit effects normally does not apply life steal, unless those effects deal basic damage or are special-cased to benefit from life steal.

---

The ability counterpart to on-hit effects are ability effects, which apply on instances of ability damage.

League of Legends content

Spellblade

Spellblade is a unique named item effect that grants additional effects to the next on-hit trigger after casting a champion ability.

---

The following items grant Spellblade:

• Sheen
• Bloodsong
• Iceborn Gauntlet
• Lich Bane
• Trinity Force

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

Default damage

Default damage is dealt by effects that are not otherwise classified, or are deliberately left unclassified. This most common source of default damage is splash damage from basic attacks.

---

Default damage does not interact with most other effects, such as Conqueror stacking, Luden's Companion or Arcane Comet. The main exception is:

• Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will still occur in spite of the damage's non-reactive nature (e.g. The Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

League of Legends content

Ward

Wards are deployable units that that grant sight over the surrounding area. They can only be destroyed by basic attacks, granting gold and  experience.
There are three kinds of deployable wards available for purchase: Control Ward, Warding Totem, and Farsight Alteration.

League of Legends content

Energized

Energized is an effect of certain items and runes that grants Charges, up to 100. Champions with Energized gain 6 Charges per basic attack and 1 Charge for every 24 units travelled by any means.

Voltaic Cyclosword is empowered to grant 1.75 Charges for every 24 units travelled in stealth, dashes, and blinks.

---

At 100 charges, they become fully Energized, empowering their next basic attack to consume the charges on-hit to trigger bonus effects. All sources of Energized stack with each other:

• Rapid Firecannon grants  bonus attack range and deals bonus damage.
• Voltaic Cyclosword deals bonus damage and slows the target.
• Fleet Footwork grants bonus movement speed and heals the user.

League of Legends content

Dodge

Dodging an instance of damage will skip its damage event entirely, preventing it from being taken and effects that trigger from damage. Dodge takes precedence over block, but not blind.

---

Effects that dodge damage will only dodge instances that are dodgeable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always dodged, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Jax's Counter Strike and Nilah's Jubilant Veil.

League of Legends content

Block

Blocking an instance of damage will reduce its value to 0, but does not prevent effects that trigger from damage. Blind and dodge take precedence over block.

---

Effects that block damage will only block instances that are blockable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always blocked, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Shen's Spirit's Refuge and is similar though mechanically different to Dodge.

League of Legends content

Blind

A unit that is blinded will miss their basic attacks for the duration, comparable to attacking a target that is able to dodge or block, but not mechanically similar. Missed basic attacks will fail to deal damage and apply on-hit effects, with the exception of some empowered basic attacks. Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks, unlike Disarm.

---

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any actions, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered by basic attacks.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses with the exception of Mikael's Blessing.

League of Legends content

On-attack

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

---

Unlike on-hit effects, on-attack effects do not require the user to land their basic attacks, only to finish their windup. Abilities that trigger on-attack effects will do so upon successfully hitting the target.

League of Legends content

Help, Pix!

COOLDOWN: 8

Active: Lulu can cast Help, Pix! on herself or a unit.

Enemy cast: Lulu sends Pix to the target for a few seconds, dealing magic damage and revealing them.

Ally cast: Lulu sends Pix to the target, shielding them for a short time if they are a champion.

League of Legends content

Area damage

Area damage is the damage type dealt by most area of effect abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Area 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.

• Spell vamp heals with one-third effectiveness.
• Many items effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of area damage (i.e. ability effects).
  • For example: Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
  • Compared to single target spell damage, area damage does not trigger Muramana.

Spell shield

A spell shield refers to one of several effects that have the capacity to negate hostile abilities from applying to the recipient. A spell shield may negate many active effects coming from champion abilities, epic monsters, champion summoned units, and items, but almost none from runes and summoner spells with the only exceptions of Arcane Comet, Unleashed Smite, and Primal Smite which will be blocked.

• See the article for more details.

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.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses, Garen's Decisive Strike, Master Yi's Highlander and Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever!.

Nearsight

A unit that is nearsighted has their sight radius reduced and cannot see beyond their sight radius.

---

While nearsighted, units cannot reveal stealthed wards or traps. Nearsighted units lose vision of all their allies as well as all external sources of vision (including from wards or abilities). This prevents unit-targeted effects, including basic attacks, from being used outside of the unit's reduced sight radius.
True sight and unobstructed vision do not bypass the vision blocked by nearsight.

Sources of nearsight do not stack with each other; only the application with the greatest sight reduction will take effect.

---

Interrupts:	Interrupts target commands if the nearsighted unit's target is outside of their new vision area and prevents automatic target acquisition.
Reduction:	The duration is unaffected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity with the exceptions of Fiora's Riposte and Morgana's Black Shield.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses with the exceptions of Cleanse and Mikael's Blessing.

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.

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.

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.

Cc-Immune

Crowd control immunity prevents any type of crowd control from being applied to the unit. CC which has already been applied will still have an effect on the unit. Epic monsters (excluding a summoned Rift Herald) and turrets are always immune to all crowd control, with the exception of stasis.
