Notes

• The quest reward can only be obtained after being out of combat for 5 seconds.
• On-hit effects will not trigger Tribute (although the triggering attack can).
• Killing a minion and damaging an enemy at the same time will put Tribute on  cooldown without activating.
• If you damage an enemy champion or structure 3 times every 30 seconds, tribute grants 11 per 10.
  • Plus 2 per 10 from the item, you can receive a total of 13 per 10.

Strategy

• Because killing minions disables the Tribute, Spellthief's Edge is best purchased on supports who are able to harass effectively in-lane.

Trivia

• Relic Shield, Spellthief's Edge, and Ancient Coin are a trio of items designed for supports and themed after locations from Runeterra that all incidentally involve a form of physical transcendence.
