Notes

• Archangel's Staff grants a total of 56.5 ability power by itself at zero stacks.
• When gaining maximum mana from Mana Charge, you preserve your percent current mana.
• Rammus' Powerball adds one stack upon cast and another stack if ended early without a collision. Similarly, Janna's Howling Gale adds one stack upon activation, and a second if activated early.
• Toggled abilities (e.g Singed's Poison Trail) adds one stack whenever the toggled ability expends mana and the Mana Charge stack is off cooldown.
• Mana Charge on Archangel's Staff requires mana expenditure in order to charge, making it impossible for manaless champions to charge it.

Strategy

• Archangel's Staff is commonly paired with Rod of Ages for many ability power scaling champions. These two items together can effectively eliminate any champion's mana problems and the early Tear of the Goddess and Catalyst of Aeons are useful in lane for the healing sustain and increased mana pool. The only downside to this build is Archangel's Staff / Tear of the Goddess as well as Rod of Ages take considerable time to stack.
  • Keep in mind that Rod of Ages isn't the only mana item that synergizes with Archangel's Staff. Lich Bane, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Frozen Heart can all replace or be added to Rod of Ages depending on the matchup.
• Archangel's Staff has great synergy with a Rabadon's Deathcap, as it increases ability power by 40%. 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 40% increased ability power passive.
  • This is equal to 1.4% of the holder maximum mana.

Trivia

• Assuming a charge is gained every 4 seconds, the 750 mana charge takes 6 minutes and 15 seconds to max.
• The Quick Charge version is also used on the Crystal Scar during Rotating Game Modes.
