Notes

• The bleed can interrupt and delay certain spells (e.g, Perseverance, Recall).
• The passive heal is the same effect as Hextech Gunblade's, and stacks additively with it, granting 30% healing on all damage.
• Damage dealt to a shield is fully applied and does not store damage.
• Each tick of damage received is stored and dealt individually, regardless on when other hits were received.

Strategy

• As Death's Dance's ability drain component is reduced for area of effect abilities, this component is most useful when mainly dealing unit-targeted damage.
• The unique passive's usage is best realized when looking at a simplified situation where an enemy inflicts instant burst damage onto you. By transforming 30% of the incoming damage into a damage over time effect, it is equal to a health multiplicator of e.g. 23.6% or 11.8%.
  • As a result, your opponent has to overkill you to actually finish you off within this time span, which slightly increases your time to react and deploy counter measures like shields or healing. At the same time it also slightly improves your time window for retaliation, and is as such most powerful in a fight between two assassins.
    • Regardless, it's important to not overestimate this unique passive's influence, as most assassins generally overkill an opponent, and as such aren't hindered by slightly increased health.
