Cost Analysis

Template:Gold value math

Gold efficiency

• Frostfang is <span class="basic-tooltip" style="border-bottom:1px dotted gray;cursor:help;" title="">% gold efficient without its passive and active.
• If you damage an enemy champion or structure 3 times every 30 seconds, Tribute grants 15 per 10.
  • Plus 3 per 10 from the item, you can receive a total of 18 per 10.

Notes

• Tribute can also trigger if there is a dead ally within range.
• The quest reward can only be obtained after being out-of-combat for 5 seconds.
  • Upon completing the quest, the item holds 1 ward, visiting the shop is required to refill the wards.
  • Completing the quest send the following chat message to the team: "Summoner (Champion) Quest Complete! Completion Time: XX:XX"
• On-hit effects will not trigger Tribute (although the triggering attack can).
• "Receive diminishing gold from excessive minion kills": Farming more than 20 CS per 5 minutes reduces gold from minions by Template:Passive progression/deprecated version.

Strategy

• Because killing minions is discouraged, Frostfang is best built on supports who are able to harass effectively in-lane.
