Notes

Cleave VFX

Crescent VFX

• The damage dealt by Ravenous Hydra is classified as default damage.
• 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 the heal from the splash damage twice, for 69% (1.3 × 1.3), instead of 30%. This only happens if the heal comes from  life steal.
• 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.
• 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 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.
