I wonder how this item interacts with the damage redirection of the new Knight's Vow item. The item states the damage is "redirected", which makes me think it might still count as coming from that enemy champion. But, the fact that it says the damage is taken "as true damage" might indicate that the item happens to store the specific damage number, and is then seen as the source of the damage from the game's code. I'm trying to make a Braum build that requires some extra mana sustain, and I don't want any of the mana regen items (other than Redemption which is already part of the build).

Although after doing calculations, the synergy wouldn't be too effective even if it does work. If a target takes 1000 damage, the knights vow deals to you 120 damage, which would only grant 18 mana.

I still might take this item on Braum because If I take like 1000 damage myself, that is enough mana for another rotation of his abilities. I would also get rewarded for blocking things with my shield too, since he has very high health regen with the majority of his good items and his base regen is high.

What do you guys think? Does Rightous Glory or Zz'rot portal sound better for Braum? One gives mana, health, and better ult placement, while the other protects towers and pushes in waves. I suppose it depends on if your team wants to teamfight or splitpush.

Building this item is probably best for Siege comps for what I want to do with it.
