Notes
Item VFX
- Health Potion cannot be used at full health.
- Multiple Health Potions can be used while one is already active which will queue them up to be used after the previous completes (maximum 5 stacks).
- Using a Health Potion does not interrupt channeled spells.
- A used Health Potion gives an additional 10 health regeneration per second for 15 seconds, which can be improved by Spirit Visage.
Strategy
- It is a very useful item for nearly every champion early game due to its affordability but loses its effectiveness as champions' levels increase. The maximum health will be too substantial for it to be significant and any damage received would be too great.
- It used to be highly recommended to buy multiple Health Potions when jungling as it provided increased early-game survivability. The % health gain from jungling creeps reduces their utility.
- If you're having trouble sustaining in lane, usually either top or mid as AD, do not rush Vampiric Scepter - at 900 and only 10% lifesteal, given low (sub 150) total AD values, you usually won't be able to sustain enough from trading and lane minions. Note that 900 is 18 health potions - or 2700 total health from regen. Consider either Doran's Blades or Health Potions.
- Using a Health Potion is particularly useful against damage over time effects when at low health as it may keep you alive in a close fight.
