Notes

Item VFX

• Thorns deals reactive damage, and thus will not trigger spell effects.
• Thorns is not blocked by spell shield.
• Damage is reflected when hit by a basic attack, regardless of whether the attack deals damage. If the attacker is blinded, or the wearer is protected by a shield or invulnerability, damage will still be reflected.
• By itself, Bramble Vest reflects at least 6.5 magic damage​​ magic damage on being hit.
• Healing effects triggering on a basic attack (life steal, Udyr's Turtle Stance, Xin Zhao's Determination, etc.) will first be reduced by Grievous Wounds.
  • This means that the Grievous Wounds, applied by Bramble Vest, will be effective with the basic attack that triggers the effect.

Strategy

• Bramble Vest is a particularly effective defensive option when facing down opponents whose damage is dealt primarily through basic attacks, or against opponents that utilize on-hit healing to survive fights (such as life steal).
• Unlike Molten Shield and Defensive Ball Curl, Bramble Vest's magic damage does not trigger spell effects.
