Notes

Item VFX

Item VFX

• The healing bonus only affects direct heals so health regen will be unaffected.
  • Health regeneration abilities or items, such as Garen's Perseverance will not be affected.

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.

• Items as Locket of the Iron Solari, Redemption, and  Athene's Unholy Grail.
• 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.
