Notes

• The quest reward can only be obtained after being out-of-combat for 5 seconds.
• Area of effect abilities will use one charge per enemy champion hit.
• On-hit effects will not trigger Tribute (although the triggering attack can).
• Damage over time abilities will trigger Tribute once per instance of damage.
• 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, the passive tribute grants 10 per 10.
  • Plus 2 per 10 from the item, you can receive a total of 12 per 10.

Strategy

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