  • When taking fatal damage, Anivia will revert into an egg from which she will be gloriously reborn.
• Flash Frost (Q)
  • Anivia calls forth a piercing lance of ice that flies towards her target, damaging and slowing anyone in its path. After a long flight the shard will explode, damaging and stunning enemies in a small area. Anivia may prematurely explode the missile if she chooses.

  • Rammus rolls into a ball accelerating towards his foes. Upon impact, he deals magic damage to nearby foes, knocking them back and slowing them.
• Defensive Ball Curl (W)
  • For a short duration, Rammus goes into a defensive stance resulting in massively increased armor and reflective damage to attackers.
• Puncturing Taunt (E)
