Exhaust in action

Exhaust is a targeted Summoner spell that affects enemy champions. It reduces movement speed and damage dealt by 30% and reduces attack speed by 50%.

Strategy

Exhaust is an extremely powerful tool for disabling champions who mainly autoattack, as well as any champion that can deal a high amount of damage. When your team is chasing an enemy and he is getting away, using Exhaust on him will help your team gain the upper hand. Using it against enemies when escaping can help you as their movement speed will be decreased.

Notes

• Exhaust will not reduce true damage.
• Since V1.0.0.129, Cleanse will remove Exhaust's effects.
• Using Exhaust on a champion when the target is already affected by that spell will reapply the effect, resetting its duration. It will NOT increase the effect.
