Pyke
GameplayPyke is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Game elements that increase health based on the champion's health (e.g Overgrowth) will increase the health before getting converted by Gift of the Drowned Ones, thus granting increased bonus AD.
- Spirit Visage and Grievous Wounds take effect after Gift of the Drowned Ones's healing cap.
- Pyke's grey health does not have a time limit, and will stay on his health bar until Pyke leaves enemy vision or dies.
- Since Pyke's maximum health cannot be increased, Gift of the Drowned Ones reaches the upper cap of 60% of maximum health at 40.25 − 172.85 (based on level) bonus attack damage.
- Untargetable champions count towards Pyke's modified grey health storing.
- The maximum amount of additional Grey Health storing gained possible from all lethality sources is 60% at 120 lethality. This is reduced to 30% while there are fewer than two enemy champions nearby.
- Relevant mathematics:
- Prowler's Claw: + 9% health storing, reduced to 4.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Sandshrike's Claw: + 13% health storing, reduced to 6.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Maximum Mythic Passive Bonuses: + 12.5% health storing, reduced to 6.25% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Duskblade of Draktharr: + 9% health storing, reduced to 4.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Draktharr's Shadowcarver: + 13% health storing, reduced to 6.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Eclipse: + 9% health storing, reduced to 4.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Syzygy: + 13% health storing, reduced to 6.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Youmuu's Ghostblade: + 9% health storing, reduced to 4.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Serpent's Fang: + 6% health storing, reduced to 3% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- The Collector: + 6% health storing, reduced to 3% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Axiom Arc: + 5% health storing, reduced to 2.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Edge of Night: + 5% health storing, reduced to 2.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Umbral Glaive: + 5% health storing, reduced to 2.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Serrated Dirk: + 5% health storing, reduced to 2.5% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby
- Sudden Impact: + 3.5% health storing, reduced to 1.75% for fewer than two enemy champions nearby

This table is automatically generated based on the data from Module:ItemData/data.
- Only the charged version of Bone Skewer will be intercepted.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Pyke can still use summoner spells besides Flash, Teleport, Hexflash, and Mark / Dash while hurling the harpoon but he cannot perform any other action.

- Like most projectiles, the flying Phantom cannot hit targets whose center is behind the position it originates at or beyond the position it catches up to Pyke at, but the spell can hit targets behind its origin as long as their hitbox radius overlaps with the original unit Phantom's 110-radius check at the end of its lifespan.

- Applies raw damage to executed targets and area damage to targets above the threshold.
- Death from Below cannot execute clones. They are always dealt 50% physical damage.
- Only the target's current health will count as Pyke's damage in post-game statistics and spell vamp healing if executed.
- If the target's current health is less than 50% of the post-mitigation non-executing damage, Pyke will heal less from spell vamp.
- If the target is saved by resurrection or is in a zombie state, Death from Below does not grant 'Your Cut' nor the recast.
- Spell shield does not prevent Pyke from blinking.
- If an enemy champion dies inside the X before Death from Below performs, Pyke will be shown as having received an assist in the kill feed, but this will not grant him takedown effects.
- Death from Below cannot be interrupted; Pyke will always appear at the target location if enemy champions are caught inside the X even if he is moved (e.g. by being displaced) during the cast time.
- The only exception is if he is being suppressed, in which case he will not blink.
- The only exception is if he is being

Renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of Bilgewater, Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish… and yet, he returned. Now, stalking the dank alleys and backways of his former hometown, he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others—and a city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds a monster hunting them.

Trivia
- Pyke is one of 22 champions without a single ability power ratio on any ability: Aatrox, Akshan, Camille, Darius, Dr. Mundo, Draven, Garen, Kalista, Kayn, Kindred, Kled, Olaf, Riven, Samira, Sett, Talon, Urgot, Vayne, Xayah, Yone, and Zed.
- Pyke's name is a pun on the pole weapon and the predatory fish, both from PIE root *(s)pey- "sharp, pointy stick".[2]
- Namely, Pyke, the capital of the Iron Islands, an island state within the continent of Westeros; Pyke's inhabitants also worship a deity called "the Drowned God".
- Pyke will play his critical strike animation when applying Duskblade of Draktharr's bonus damage, additionally using the Toggle key bind (default [Ctrl] + [5]) will also display his critical strike animation on his next attack.
- Bone Skewer can be toggled to stop glowing with the Toggle key bind (default [Ctrl] + [5]). It will revert to glowing at 1:00 or whenever he respawns.
- Pyke's dance references the traditional Māori Haka warrior dance.
- Bone Skewer's shape is possibly based on those of harpoon-heads carved from bone, antler, & walrus ivory,[3][4] though his is made of metal and magnified to be effective against gigantic in-universe sea-monsters.
- Pyke is one of the two champions in the game whose health can not be improved except through growth per level, the other being Kled.
- Pyke quite coincidentally shares his name with a location in George R.R. Martin's novel series A Song of Ice and Fire.
- Gift of the Drowned Ones grants 1 bonus movement speed to Pyke while in river.
- Gift of the Drowned Ones is 93.75% gold efficient.
- 1 HP = 2.66... gold. (calculated with Ruby Crystal. 400g / 150 hp = 2.66)
- 1 AD = 35 gold. (calculate with Long Sword. 350g / 10ad = 35g)
- AD/HP (35 / 2.66) = 13.125 (this is to find where AD=HP, meaning 13.125 HP is equal to 1 AD. The equation would be 13.75[HP] = [AD])
- Pyke's passive converts every 14 bonus hp into 1 ad. so if you divide 13.125 by 14, you get 0.9375, meaning each bonus HP you buy is only 93.75% the gold value you get for each AD.
- 100% efficiency would be 8 AD for every 105 HP.
- 1 HP = 2.66... gold. (calculated with
