Notes

Cleave VFX

Crescent VFX

• The damage dealt by Ravenous Hydra is classified as default damage.
• The splash damage heal does not benefit from  Heal power.
• Ravenous Hydra can only be purchased by melee champions and shapeshifter champions with a melee form, its passive and active cannot be used when performing ranged basic attacks.
• Spirit Visage increases both the  life steal granted by the item as well as the effectiveness of the unnamed passive on the item.
  • Factoring only the item and Spirit Visage, you will have 23.4%  life steal (18 × 1.3) that is 65% effective on the splash damage (50 × 1.3).
• The unnamed passive will stack additively if multiple Ravenous Hydra are purchased. Two items will cause life steal to be 100% effective on the splash damage; three will be 150% effective; and so on.
  • With 6 × Ravenous Hydra, you will have 108%  life steal that is 300% effective on the splash damage.
  • With 5 × Ravenous Hydra and Spirit Visage, you will have 117%  life steal (90 × 1.3) that is 325% effective on the splash damage (250 × 1.3).
• Activating Crescent does not reset the basic attack timer. Rather, the effect uses the champion's basic attack animation to display the effect. The cast time scales with  attack speed.
  • The active will cast from wherever the user is at the end of the cast time.
• Cleave will not trigger if it has triggered on a different target in the last 0.05 seconds. This affects abilities such as Shyvana's Twin Bite in her dragon form. There is no cooldown on triggering the effect on a single target, such as Double Strike or  Shyvana's Twin Bite in her human form.
• Gangplank's Parrrley, Yasuo's Steel Tempest and Poppy's Iron Ambassador are the only abilities that can apply on-hit effects as melee attacks while behaving as ranged attacks.

Trivia

• Searching for "no damage" in the shop will bring up Ravenous Hydra. While there were many speculated reasons for this, in actuality it is because of the "no" in "RaveNOus" and "Damage" in its listed stats (+80 attack damage); the item can just as easily be found searching "Raven Age" or "Dam us".
• Ravenous Hydra is based (probably) on Yggdra Union's Bandits weapon.
• This item is very similar to the DotA item Battle fury.
• Along with Titanic Hydra, Ravenous Hydra borrows its namesake from the Hydra, a many-headed beast.
  • They both also build from Tiamat, which shares its name with the five headed dragon goddess in the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG.
