One for All differences ^edit

• Uses the Quick Charge version.

Strategy

• Archangel's Staff has great synergy with a Rabadon's Deathcap, as it increases ability power by 35%. This means that whenever your mana is increased, the Archangel's Staff will increase your ability power, and then the Rabadon's Deathcap will increase it again due to the 35% increased ability power passive.
  • This is equal to 4.05% of the holder bonus mana.
