Set 1 INACTIVE edit
Imperial
Synergy
At the start of combat, select Imperials are empowered to deal double damage. This does not affect items. 2 Imperials: One random Imperial 4 Imperials: All Imperials

The Imperial synergy is based around champions related to Noxus. The synergy focuses on bolstering offensive stats.

Strategy

• A specific Imperial would be more likely to receive the random boost if there were the least amount of members on the board.
• All items that increase either attack damage or ability power will have their benefits multiplied (e.g. Rabadon's Deathcap, Infinity Edge, Runaan's Hurricane, Guinsoo's Rageblade).
• The boost also benefits damage-based healing items such as Bloodthirster, and Hextech Gunblade. This can give any champion with this trait a great amount of sustain.

Counters

• Dragons are a natural counter to Imperials with their high defensive stats and ability to inflict Grievous Wounds.
• Katarina and Swain deal heavy magic damage, a Dragon's Claw or Hush can let an ally handle their special abilities.
• Draven deals a ton of physical damage. This can be mitigated in a few ways:
  • Blitzcrank, and Gnar can move him and interrupt his special ability.
  • Thornmail on tanks can make Draven regret ever hitting them, good champions for this are any Guardian, Gnar, Shyvana, and most other tanky frontline champions.
• Darius, as the tank of the Imperials, mostly benefits from the heal he gets, because of that, Grievous Wounds shuts him down.

Trivia

• The imperial synergy used to double damage from items, including Ionic Spark, Statikk Shiv, Thornmail, and Luden's Echo

• Demacia and Noxus are often considered polar opposites. This is notably represented in their respective traits, with Noble being defensive, and Imperial being offensive.
