Patch 26.20 · Published 2026-10-06 · reviewed

Passive bonus-AD scaling: 25% → 20%.

Leave room for another passive attack before committing to a lethal all-in.

AD growth: 3.5 → 3.

Open with slows and crowd control instead of assuming you win extended damage trades.

Starting health/mana: 630/480 → 610/450.

Reserve mana for securing farm; repeated early trades now leave less health and mana.

W bonus-health ratio: 11% → 14%.

In longer fights, consider health purchases that strengthen both durability and W shielding.
