Notes

• Ninja Tabi's mitigation passive:
  1. Stacks multiplicatively with  armor and other damage reduction effects. Because of this, the passive is much more cost efficient at high amounts of armor than solely purchasing additional armor.
  2. Does not reduce damage dealt by turret shots.
  3. Does not reduce damage from on-hit effects, effects that grant bonus damage, or abilities that apply spell effects and act like a basic attack (i.e. Lunge, Mystic Shot, Takedown, Discharge, Pick a Card, Stretching Strikes).
  4. Reduces the damage dealt by basic attack modifiers and abilities that act like a basic attack (i.e. Hyper Charge, Petricite Burst, Ruthless Predator, Steel Tempest, Starfire Spellblade's secondary damage while Aflamed, Colossal Smash, Devastating Charge).
• Ninja Tabi increases your effective HP against basic attacks by around 13.64% ($\frac{{100\%}}{100\%-12\%}$).

Trivia

• Ninja Tabi is one of only a few items that provide damage reduction in addition to stats, the others being  Randuin's Omen and Adaptive Helm.
• Ninja Tabi's appearance is a palette swap of its magic resist-counterpart, Mercury's Treads.
• Despite its appearance, tabi are a type of Japanese footwear that resemble white socks. Also despite how it is commonly pronounced by players, the item's name would supposedly be more accurately pronounced as "neen-jah tah-bee".
