Abilities[]

Edit

A Harmless Scarecrow

A Harmless Scarecrow

Innate - Scarecrow Effigy: Fiddlesticks begins the game with an exclusive Scarecrow Effigy Scarecrow Effigy, which permanently occupies the trinket slot. Fiddlesticks can pretend to be an Effigy by standing still and not acting nor being acted upon for 2 seconds, during which it adjusts its body into a scarecrow and extends its arm out to expose its lantern.

A Harmless Scarecrow 2

Innate - A Harmless Scarecrow: From level 6 onward, placing an Totem Ward icon Effigy also summons a Sweeper Drone icon Sweeper Drone at the location for 6 seconds.

Info
  • Scarecrow Effigies Scarecrow Effigies are unavailable on ARAM until Fiddlesticks uses its Poro-Snax Poro-Snax.
  • The process of or the act of pretending to be an Effigy will be interrupted if Fiddlesticks:
    • Moves.
    • Takes damage.
    • Declares an attack.
    • Casts any ability or spell.
    • Starts Channeling icon channeling.
    • Is hit by an ability.
    • Is affected by a Stun icon crowd control effect.
  • Effigies will mimic Fiddlesticks' idle animations and their health bars are hidden until they fake an action.
    • If Fiddlesticks pretends to be an Effigy, its health bar stays hidden until the pose is interrupted.
  • Effigies are considered Command Hallucinate clones.
  • The trinket slot can still be temporarily replaced by Eye of the Herald Eye of the Herald.
  • A Harmless Scarecrow Surprise Party - Surprise Party Fiddlesticks Surprise Party Fiddlesticks has a special icon for this ability.

Edit

Terrify

Passive: While Fiddlesticks has been out of combat for at least 2.5 seconds and is not Sight icon visible to the enemy team, or is pretending to be an Effigy Effigy, its next damaging ability will additionally Flee icon fear targets hit for a duration.

Fear Duration:
1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25
Terrify

Active: Fiddlesticks launches a crow at the target enemy that deals magic damage and Flee icon fears them for a duration. Terrify has a minimum damage threshold and is capped at 400 against Monster icon monsters.

Magic Damage:
6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10% (+ 2% per 100 AP) of target's current health
Minimum Damage:
40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120
Fear Duration:
1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25

Targets feared by Fiddlesticks by any means cannot be affected by it again for a duration equal to Terrify's cooldown. Against these targets, Terrify's Critical strike magic icon damage and minimum threshold are doubled.

Increased Magic Damage:
12 / 14 / 16 / 18 / 20% (+ 4% per 100 AP) of target's current health
Increased Minimum Damage:
80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240

Terrify Slow icon slows affected targets by 90%.

Info
  • The fear-immunity timer is not refreshed by subsequent attempts to fear the target.
  • The Flee icon fear is applied at the end of the cast time, regardless of the target's distance or the missile landing.
    • The missile cannot be destroyed, either.
  • Fiddlesticks is considered "seen" if it is visible and is inside an enemy champion's sight radius. Vision from Minion icon minions, Ward icon wards, and Turret icon turrets will not prevent Fiddlesticks from Flee icon fearing if there are no nearby enemy champions.
    • There is a very brief grace period after being seen or when entering combat. This can allow for multiple spells to inflict Flee icon fear.
  • Monster icon Monsters are feared by Fiddlesticks's abilities when Fiddlesticks is out of combat, with some exceptions.
    • If Fiddlesticks has recently damaged a monster from a camp with a basic attack or abilities (including Smite Smite but not item active abilities), monsters in that camp will not be feared by his other abilities.
    • Bountiful Harvest Bountiful Harvest will not fear monsters unless Fiddlesticks is pretending to be an Effigy Effigy or is not visible to them.
  • Minion icon Minions are always feared if Fiddlesticks is not attacking them and there is no enemy champion in its view.
  • The passive portion does not currently communicate any information to Fiddlesticks, its allies nor its enemies. There is no indicator to say that Fiddlesticks is out of combat; and no indicator or debuff icon on affected enemies.
    • A visual indicator will circle around all enemy champions while Fiddlesticks is channeling Crowstorm Crowstorm if it is unseen. This is only visible to Fiddlesticks.
  • The fear immunity applies even if the target is Cc-immune icon crowd control immune. It is not applied if it is blocked by Spell Shield spell shield.
  • Terrify will still cast and affect the target even if Fiddlesticks dies or loses Sight icon sight of them during the cast time.
    • Terrify will still cast but not affect the target if they die or become Untargetable icon untargetable during the cast time. There is no compensation.
  • The player's screen will have a visual effect when successfully Flee icon feared by Terrify.
  • Terrify Surprise Party - Surprise Party Fiddlesticks Surprise Party Fiddlesticks has a special icon for this ability.
  • Crowstorm Crowstorm will not fear enemy champions if cast while they have vision of Fiddlesticks, even if Fiddlesticks is pretending to be an Effigy Effigy.

Tips & Tricks
  • Nearsight icon Nearsight reduces an enemy Champion icon champion's Sight icon sight radius, thus allowing Fiddlesticks to utilize the passive portion of Terrify more effectively.

Map-Specific Differences

Bountiful Harvest ends if all targets have died or broken their tethers. If the channel was not interrupted, 60% of the Cooldown icon current cooldown is refunded.

A nearby enemy is required to cast this ability. The target does not have to be Sight icon visible to be tethered by this ability.

    Something has awoken in Runeterra. Something ancient. Something terrible. The ageless horror known as Fiddlesticks stalks the edges of mortal society, drawn to areas thick with paranoia where it feeds upon terrorized victims. Wielding a jagged scythe, the haggard, makeshift creature reaps fear itself, shattering the minds of those unlucky enough to survive in its wake. Beware the sounding of the crow, or the whispering of the shape that appears almost human… Fiddlesticks has returned.
