Notes

• Guinsoo's Rage's attack counter and empowered effect both occur on-attack, not on-hit. The item will not interact with abilities that apply on-hit effects (e.g. Bladesurge, Mystic Shot, Infinite Duress).
  • Additionally, effects that cause you to attack more than once (i.e. Ranger's Focus, Double Strike and Lightslinger) will only be counted once, you cannot increase the frequency that Phantom Hit will occur.
  • Bolts generated by Runaan's Hurricane even when hitting 2 additional targets will still count only as 1 attack towards triggering Phantom Hit and will not grant additional Rage's stack.
• The attack that gets Guinsoo's Rageblade's stacks to 6 will benefit for the additional on-hit effect.
• For all intents and purposes, Phantom Hit is identical to Runaan's Hurricane except that the "additional bolt" will target the same enemy as your attack target and will not deal modified base damage.
• One-use on-hit effects, such as Siphoning Strike and Sheen, remain one-use, as the on-hit effect will be consumed by the initial strike and be unavailable for the second.
• It is important to know the difference between an on-hit effect (which Phantom Hit will apply) and an on-attack effect (which Phantom Hit will not), these effects are listed below.

  • Thornmail (reflect damage)

Phantom Hit does not cause you to attack twice. Effects that trigger when you attack or whose counters increase when you attack will only apply once per attack, regardless of Phantom Hit. This affects abilities such as:

• Ashe's Ranger's Focus (stack generation and empowered active)
• Bard's Meeps
• Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes
• Kayle's Righteous Fury (splash damage)
• Lulu's Pix
• Jayce's Hyper Charge (stack decrement)

• Sivir's Ricochet
• Volibear's Thunder Claws (splash damage)
• Xin Zhao's Three Talon Strike (bonus damage and knockup)
• Guinsoo's Rageblade (stack generation)
• Runaan's Hurricane (minor bolts)
• Energized Strike's (stack generation)

For effects such as Aatrox's Blood Thirst, the game will pro-actively use the champion's empowered attack animation if the attack would trigger the effect due to Phantom Hit - e.g. Aatrox will perform his lunge animation on every 2nd attack (with Phantom Hit).

Strategy

• Guinsoo's Rageblade's unique combination of traits make it something of a niche item. It is best on basic attack-based champions who benefit from both attack damage and ability power and rely on on-hit effects for a major portion of their damage ( Jax, Varus and Kayle). For such a champion, however, it is recommended to build the item as soon as possible, as the power spike it creates is usually enormous.
• Master Yi in particular has a very good synergy with this item because of his passive Double Strike which allows him to apply an additional on-hit effect per attack without Guinsoo. With Guinsoo not only will he reduce the attacks to proc Double Strike but depending on the timing of his passive with Guinsoo he'll be procing on-hit effects:
  • Twice on each basic attack.
  • Thrice on each other basic attack.
• The Phantom hit will proc both Titanic Hydra and Ravenous Hydra essentially doubling the area of effect damage, however the Titanic Hydra is superior in this aspect as it also deals on-hit damage on the primary target.

Trivia

• Guinsoo's Rageblade is named after Steve 'Guinsoo' Feak, one of the main creative minds behind League of Legends and creator of Defense of the Ancients: Allstars.
  • According to Feak, Guinsoo's Rageblade was created with Corki in mind.
  • It has a similar icon to the Defense of the Ancients: Allstars item Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, also named after Feak.
• Guinsoo's Rageblade is one of only three items that provide ability power alongside either attack damage or attack speed – the others being Hextech Gunblade and Nashor's Tooth.
• Guinsoo's Rageblade was one of the last items released before the launch of League of Legends itself.
• There once existed a bug that enabled Sion to attain negative ability power and 2.5 attack speed with Guinsoo's Rageblade alone.
• The design is mostly similar to Kratos' blades, both the Blades of Chaos and the Blades of Exile. Both and Kratos are from the God of War franchise.
