Notes

• Spell damage is not specific about damage type; physical, magic, and true damage spells work.
  • However, magic damage abilities are ideal as the magic penetration will only apply to magic damage. Additionally, abilities which deal physical damage frequently don't scale well with ability power, if at all.
• Most abilities which apply On-hit effects such as Infinite Duress Infinite Duress and Toxic Shot Toxic Shot will not trigger Liandry's Torment Liandry's Torment. Also excluded are items with on-hit effects such as Wit's End Wit's End and Nashor's Tooth Nashor's Tooth.
  • There is a selection of abilities that apply on-hit effects that are still classified as spells and will trigger Liandry's Torment Liandry's Torment. These abilities are generally area of effect and will trigger spell vamp. For example, Righteous Fury Righteous Fury and Vorpal Spikes Vorpal Spikes.
• Activated item effects (e.g. Hextech Gunblade Hextech Gunblade) will also work.
  • This item's passive will not work with item passives which deal magic damage such as Thornmail Thornmail, Sunfire Cape Sunfire Cape, and itself.
• When factoring in magic resist, a Void Staff Void Staff offers more magic penetration for a lower price when the target is at, or above 47 magic resistance.

Mechanic

  • This effect checks on every tick if the enemy movement is impaired and will deal double the magic damage (2%) if true.
• Like other current % health damage, it is impossible for Liandrys to kill any target.
