Notes

Runaan's Hurricane screenshot

The two bolts fired by Runaan's Hurricane (with the normal basic attack in the middle).

  • Secondary bolts do not prioritize champions.[1]
  • Champions hit with the seconday bolts will trigger minion agro.
  • Secondary bolt critical strikes are dependent on the triggering attack; if the triggering attack critically strikes, so will the secondary bolts. Likewise, the secondary bolts will not critically strike if the triggering attack does not critically strike.
  • The movement speed stat only increases flat movement speed, and will not interact with other percentage increases.
  • While in possession of Runaan's Hurricane Runaan's Hurricane, you gain a small floating orb that accompanies you around the battlefield. This orb fires up to two additional missiles, functioning similar to Lulu's Lulu's Pix, Faerie Companion Pix, Faerie Companion.
  • Bolts from Runaan's Hurricane Runaan's Hurricane will not increase the frequency of Guinsoo's Rageblade's Guinsoo's Rageblade's Phantom Hit even when hitting 2 additional targets because Phantom Hit is triggered with On-Action Effects (not with On-Hit ones) and the bolts hitting 2 additional targets still counts as only one On-Action Effect.

Strategy

Compared to the other items building out of Zeal Zeal, Runaan's Hurricane Runaan's Hurricane offers 3 assets over its siblings:

  1. Improved teamfight damage. 40% per target might not sound like much, but it adds up. Especially when having utility like Slow icon slows or on-hit effects coupled to your auto-attacks, this item's impact is not to be underestimated.
  2. Improved lifesteal. By effectively increasing your attack damage by 80%, your lifesteal is improved as well. As a result, you can heal up faster on minion waves or monsters and are less prone to Thornmail Thornmail's reflected damage.
  3. Improved waveclear. While falling short to Statikk Shiv's Statikk Shiv's strong waveclear potential, it still speeds up your waveclear. However, this might very well be an undesired side effect when buying this item, as it makes freezing waves impossible. This is not a problem after the early game, since freezing at this point is less powerful and you want to push and take out towers as fast as possible.

For those three reasons, Runnan's Hurricane is one of the most, if not the most commonly purchased attack speed/crit chance item.

There are still, however, some crit-focused champions which do not purchase it. For example, champions which do not have synergy with its passive (e.g. Vayne Vayne, Draven Draven), champions which are focused on casting abilities instead of constantly auto-attacking (e.g. Jhin Jhin, Ezreal Ezreal), or champions which cannot purchase Runaan's Hurricane at all (e.g. Tryndamere Tryndamere, Yasuo Yasuo, Master Yi Master Yi).

Some on-hit ranged champions like Kayle Kayle and Kog'Maw Kog'Maw purchase it because it allows them to apply their on-hit effects to more than one target, even if they are not going to purchase other crit items.

Jinx's Jinx's Switcheroo! Switcheroo! has powerful synergy with the Hurricane. Pow-Pow Pow-Pow gains a stack of the attack speed buff for each bolt that hits, and Fishbones' Fishbones' splash damage will stack on all enemies for all three projectiles. If enemies are bunched up, a few well-placed rockets can devastate them.

Trivia

  • Runaan's Hurricane is named after Devon 'Runaan' Giehl, an Associate Creative Designer at Riot Games.
  • The orb that fires the 2 bolts and floats around the champion it's equipped to is most likely a reference to a similar power up in the Gradius games.
  • The item may have been inspired by the alpha item Hurricane Hurricane, which was also a bow, though Hurricane's Alpha effect is unknown.
