Attack damage

 Attack damage (AD) is the stat that determines the amount of physical damage dealt by basic attacks. AD also determines the damage of various champion abilities, items and runes.

Total attack damage is comprised of base attack damage and bonus attack damage.

The base attack damage is innate to the champion. It does not depend on items or runes and increases with each champion level (see List of champions' attack damage).

Bonus attack damage can be gained from items, abilities and runes. Increasing the bonus AD is the typical way to scale up the damage output of an AD-based champion. Attack damage stacks additively.

Effects that benefit from attack damage receive a bonus based on a certain percentage of either base attack damage (base AD), bonus attack damage (bonus AD) or total attack damage (AD).

Gold Value

• Attack damage has a theoretical gold value of 35 per point.

Attack damage as a scaling stat

Many abilities, items, and runes benefit from attack damage through their AD ratios. They can count base AD, bonus AD, and/or total AD. Note that attack damage does not always apply to physical damage; ratios can be assigned to any damage type.

The following champions do not have an AD ratio on any of their abilities: Annie, Ahri, Anivia, Aurelion Sol, Bard, Brand, Cassiopeia, Gwen, Ivern, Karma, Karthus, LeBlanc, Lillia, Lissandra, Lulu, Lux, Morgana, Nami, Neeko, Orianna, Rakan, Rammus, Rell, Rumble, Ryze, Seraphine, Sona, Soraka, Swain, Syndra, Taliyah, Taric, Teemo, Veigar, Vel'Koz, Vex, Vladimir, Xerath, Ziggs, Zoe, Zyra.

Trivia

Largest AD

Last updated: July 22, 2020 – V10.17

Still, Hecarim can potentially reach a higher AD with 10959.6486 movement speed or higher.

  • Runes = 30 + 30 + 30 + 9 × 2 = 108 AP
  • Buffs = 80 + 50 + 20 = 150 AP
  • AP Multiplier = (1 + 0.4 + 0.16 + 0.2) = 1.76
    • Janna's AP = (908.64 + 108 + 150) × 1.76 = 2053.2864 AP
