Notes

Item VFX
- Sanctify deals proc damage, and thus will not trigger spell effects.
- The healing bonus only affects direct heals so health regeneration will be unaffected.
- The on-hit magic damage benefits from the attacker's magic penetration.
Strategy
Ardent Censer synergizes well with other healing and shielding sources, especially with those with either wide area of effect or with low cooldown. Also being able to deliver lot of on-hit effects increases the item's effect drastically. A few notable synergies for the item are:
- Items like Locket of the Iron Solari, Redemption, and Moonstone Renewer due to being able to apply the buff to multiple allies with the area of effect actives.
- Abilities like Sona's Aria of Perseverance is a grand example for the area effect while Soraka's Astral Infusion and Soraka's Wish can keep the passive up for whole team.
- This item is particularly potent when used on champions who already make use of on-hit effects, like Kayle, Kog'Maw, and Master Yi, and especially so on those who purchase Runaan's Hurricane and Guinsoo's Rageblade.

Trivia
- A censer is "a container in which incense is burned, typically during a religious ceremony".
- The bonus on-hit magic damage given by the item's passive appears as a critical strike for the wielder, but appears as standard magic damage for the buffed ally.
