I'm back :) (im the op)

Did some more testing and came to some odd results :/

With Malphite and his passive, Iron Skin (and Mirror Shell) does indeed activate, and remain activated until about 3 seconds after his passive breaks. So it is a continous bonus for him.

Oddly (and frustratingly to figure out) in the tooltip for Malphites stats, Iron Skin gets calculated into his BASE Armor while Mirror Shell calculates into his BONUS Mr... The numbers add up and are correct, but they add Iron Skin to the wrong number in the tooltip :( Confirmed on multiple champions.

1) I was a bit incorrect above, POTIONS only activate Iron Skin once, and only for 3 seconds. Champion Abilities are treated differently, and some (like Malph) are continously refreshed. Similarly non-potion Items may activate differently, Locket for instance lasts for the duration, and for 3 seconds afterwards.

4) "All Potions" meant Corrupting Potion, Health Potion, Hunters Potion, Refillable Potion and  Total Biscut of Everlasting Will. It does not activate on any Elixirs, Wards or Kleptomancy Items. It does not activate on the Oracles Extract from the Howling Abyss map.

5) Additional testing: Iron Skin applies to the Healing Plants found in the river, The Heal Summoner Spell, The Guardian Rune (when it activates), each activation of Spoils of War from the Relic Shield, the Shield Battery quest reward of the Relic Shield (and its continious!!), and Face of the Mountian shield.

6) The Second Wind Rune does NOT proc Iron Skin as it is treated as regular healing.


 * As a general rule, instantaneous effects proc Iron Skin for 3 seconds while effects with a duration persist for that duration + 3 seconds afterwards. Potions are an exception and only last 3 seconds.

One synergy I found was Iron Skin and the Relic Shield line of support items. Each Spoils of War activates it, and once you get the Shield Battery going then you gain Iron Skin for as long as the shield survives. Additionally, it activates every time you use Face of the Mountain. However, by the time your Shield Battery comes online, you might as well just take Conditioning :/
