Leviathan was an advanced item in League of Legends.

Recipe

• Ruby Crystal (475g)
• 800g

Notes

• Leviathan granted 820 total health at 20 stacks.
• Health was valued at around 2.6 gold per point at basic tier. The item would begin to break even at 10 stacks, a few more if you were comparing it to advanced and/or legendary items.

Similar Items

• Mejai's Soulstealer
• Sword of the Occult
• Warmog's Armor
• The Bloodthirster

Trivia

• Leviathan was not available in the game mode Dominion.
• True damage was not reduced by the damage reduction.
• Leviathan, Sword of the Occult and Mejai's Soulstealer were a trio of "Snowball Sister Items" that shared the stack feature. Other stacking items are Warmog's Armor and The Bloodthirster, though they stack on minion kills as well as champion kills.
• Even at 20 stacks Leviathan did not give the most health of any item. Leviathan would give 820 HP compared to Warmog's Armor's base amount of 920.
• The 15% damage reduction increased effective health, but not at a fixed amount. The effective health granted by the 15% reduction increased with more armor/magic resist, where 0 armor/magic resist granted 17.6% increase while 100 armor/magic resist granted 35.3% increase. Due to how the damage reduction scaled, it was more efficient on champions with a high health ratings.
  • Not including base stats, this gave a fully stacked Leviathan an effective health of 965.
• As a single purchase without including armor/magic resist, it would take a base health of 1733 for a fully stacked Leviathan to provide an effective health equal to a fully stacked Warmog's Armor (at 1270 health).
  • Almost all champions would have more than 1733 HP by level 18, meaning the EHP granted by a fully stacked Leviathan was almost always outstrip Warmog's Armor at end game.
• The stacking buff granted by Leviathan when a kill or assist was scored was called "Leviathan Armor".
• Giant's Belt cost less at 1110g, and provided more health up to 7 stacks.
  • If one has a Ruby Crystal and the upgrade cost of 800 gold, selling the Ruby Crystal grants a total of 1132 gold: enough to buy a Giant's Belt.
