Crest of Cinders

Crest of CindersEdit
Description
Basic attacks slow by ( 5 / 10 / 15 / 20% / 5 / 7.5 / 10%) (based on level) for 3 seconds, and burn the target for 2 seconds, which deals 10 − 75 (based on level) true damage over 3 instances over the duration. The first instance of damage occurs on-hit and the second and third instances occur each second thereafter. Subsequent attacks against a burning target will only refresh its duration.
While out-of-combat with enemy champions and epic monsters, heal for 0.5 / 1 / 3% (based on level) of  maximum health every 5 seconds. If slain by an enemy champion and if the buff was gained from a non-Corrupted Red Brambleback, Crest of Cinders will transfer to the killer.

The Crest of Cinders, commonly known as "red buff" or simply "red," is a neutral buff granted by the Red Brambleback. It is available only on Summoner's Rift.

It can be identified by spinning red rune circle around the champion.

How to obtain

• By landing the killing blow to the Red Brambleback.
• By killing a champion that currently possesses this buff, the buff is then passed to the killer. In this case, the duration of the buff is refreshed.
• After an allied Ivern (higher than level 5) applied and consumed Friend of the Forest on the camp, by walking within the camp area.

Notes

• Re-applying the debuff the moment the target is dealt damage from it may cause the target to get dealt the damage of 2 ticks.
• Re-applying the debuff and triggering Electrocute causes the target to get dealt the damage of 3 ticks, with 1 tick dealing 40 true damage.

Strategy

• The slow is more effective when applied by melee attacks than ranged attacks. Note however that it is easier for ranged champions to apply the slow without getting in dangerous situations and they can also use it to keep melee attackers at a distance.
• The jungler will most likely take the red buff early in the game.
  • The extra damage lets the jungler clear minion packs easier and take on bigger monsters like the Dragon.
  • The slow from the buff is extremely valuable for the jungler to successfully execute a gank and is also useful for kiting monsters to reduce damage.
• Syndra's Force of Will can be used on the Red Brambleback Red Brambleback to quickly apply the debuff to a nearby enemy champion.
• The damage dealt is true damage. This makes it valuable in killing champions who have high armor and magic resistance.

Trivia

• Its icon was recycled from Tabu's Wave of Loathing.
