Notes

Passive VFX

Shield VFX

• Phantom Dancer's +5% and +7% movement speed only increases flat movement speed, and will not interact with other percentage increases.
• Although Lifeline​ is a unique passive and will put all its shared passives on cooldown, the secondary effects linked to it will still trigger. Triggering either Sterak's Gage's,  Maw of Malmortius' or  Phantom Dancer's Lifeline will trigger both Sterak's Fury and Lifegrip (if you own these items).
• If Lifeline comes off cooldown while the user is below the listed health threshold, the shield will trigger immediately against any incoming damage.

Strategy

• Ranged ADs which have strong dueling potential like Vayne and Graves can use this to further boost their dueling potential, making them difficult to take down if they are ahead, or giving them a better chance if they are behind.
• Melee champions that focus on crit like Yasuo and Tryndamere generally use this because they are easier to kite and this item's passive helps with that problem. Also, Statikk Shiv is their only alternative for an attack speed/crit chance item.
• ADCs that are having problems with assassins or burst mages can use this to allow them to have a better chance to survive their burst.
• This item is a good alternative to Rapid Firecannon on caster-focused ADCs if you don't need the extra range.
