'''Stealth''' is the mechanic that renders a unit invisible for a determined period of time. Stealth is divided into three categories: {{tip|Camouflage}} (or '''Strategic stealth'''), {{tip|Invisibility}} (or '''Tactical stealth''') and {{tip|stealthed trap|Stealthed traps}}.

* This icon indicates that the unit is being revealed, although it does not necessarily mean the unit will be revealed through stealth, as both sources of true sight reveal and standard sight reveal use the same icon.
  +
* Units that are stealthed will have their silhouette shimmer with a visual and {{sm2|Stealth shimmer SFX.ogg}} audio indicator, if they are damaged while they are stealthed.
  +
* {{tip|Crowd control}} effects do not break stealth with the exception of {{tip|taunt}}, which forces the unit to attack.

** Uniquely, the stealth from {{cai|Guerrilla Warfare|Teemo}} is broken if he is knocked {{tip|airborne}}.

* Stealth grants {{tip|ghosted|ghosting}} inherently when ''not'' being revealed.
  +
* {{cai|Curse of the Black Mist|Senna}} will still grant the ''Wraith Form'' buff to allies that have stealth of their own. They will however not be seen as a ''Wraith'' while outside of her aura while their own stealth is active.
  +
* A unit with multiple sources of camouflage is revealed based on the radius of the smallest detection radius.

* A unit with camouflage and invisibility will have their camouflage reveal radius be removed for the duration of the invisibility.

* Camouflaged units will also be revealed while inside the line of sight of nearby enemy {{tip|clone|clones}}.

* {{ii|Voltaic Cyclosword}} and {{ri|Sudden Impact}} interact with stealth.

Stealthed units will fade and/or disappear from enemy sight until they attack/have been attacked, or the duration of their invisibility effect expires. For ranged champions, auto attacks must actually land on a target for the stealth to expire prematurely. For some champions, using an ability that will cause them to become stealthed is preceded by a period called a "fade time", during which the champion appears partially transparent, but is still visible to enemies. During this fade time, any damage taken by the champion delays becoming invisible for a short period of time. No matter how many times a champion is hit, however, the fade time on invisibility cannot exceed five seconds. Summoner spells can be used during stealth without breaking it.

There are various ways for a [[champion]] to gain the ability to see invisibility. A [[champion]] with this ability will see invisible enemy units as partially translucent. When a revealed invisible unit leaves the revealed area that unit does not experience a fade time; the unit immediately turns invisible again.

Taunting a stealthed enemy will cause him to attack, automatically revealing him and forcing him out of stealth. This can work if you target a visible stealthed unit or if the enemy is currently entering into stealth. With AoE taunts, such as {{cai|Shadow Dash|Shen}} or {{cai|Idol Of Durand|Galio}}, this is easier as you can force every stealthed champion in the area to attack, even if they are invisible.

Stealth is the mechanic that renders a unit invisible for a determined period of time. Stealth is divided into three categories: Ambush 2 Camouflage (or Strategic stealth), Twilight Shroud old2 Invisibility (or Tactical stealth) and Noxious Trap Stealthed traps.

Notes

Reveal icon
Invisibility Shimmer
  • This icon indicates that the unit is being revealed, although it does not necessarily mean the unit will be revealed through stealth, as both sources of true sight reveal and standard sight reveal use the same icon.
  • Units that are stealthed will have their silhouette shimmer with a visual and ▶️   audio indicator, if they are damaged while they are stealthed.
  • Stun icon Crowd control effects do not break stealth with the exception of Taunt icon taunt, which forces the unit to attack.
  • Stealth grants Ghost ghosting inherently when not being revealed.
  • Senna's Senna's Curse of the Black Mist Curse of the Black Mist will still grant the Wraith Form buff to allies that have stealth of their own. They will however not be seen as a Wraith while outside of her aura while their own stealth is active.
  • A unit with multiple sources of camouflage is revealed based on the radius of the smallest detection radius.
  • A unit with camouflage and invisibility will have their camouflage reveal radius be removed for the duration of the invisibility.
  • Camouflaged units will also be revealed while inside the line of sight of nearby enemy Command Hallucinate clones.
  • Voltaic Cyclosword Voltaic Cyclosword and Sudden Impact Sudden Impact interact with stealth.

Camouflage

EditCamouflage is a form of stealth that renders a unit hidden from enemy Sight icon vision for a long period of time. It is usually activated preemptively in order to ambush an enemy or to bypass the surveillance of hostile Ward icon wards patrolling an area. It also grants Ghost ghosting.
  • Camouflaged units are revealed while being inside the line of sight (e.g. not in the fog of war, behind terrain, or blocked by Nearsight icon nearsight) of a nearby enemy Champion icon champion (with the range depending on the ability), when within the vision radius of an enemy Control Ward Control Ward (900 units), or from sources of True Sight icon True Sight.
  • Stealthed units shimmer their character model for 0.6 seconds whenever they take damage.

Stealth detection

There are various ways for a champion to gain the ability to see stealth. True Sight icon True sight is a form of vision that directly reveals stealth. All Turret icon turrets have true sight reveal as well as some champion abilities. Sweeper Drone icon Obscured vision will reveal stealthed units through a partially translucent outline, but does not render them targetable.

Leap Strike Unit-targeted effects cannot be cast on stealthed enemies, as they require Sight icon sight of targets.

The following abilities are examples of informing the presence of a hidden unit:


Skill shots

Sear Direction-targeted abilities, also known as skillshots, will still hit enemies that are not visible, but does not grant Sight icon sight of them unless the ability in question did. Note that the visible Projectile projectile will stop short of its trajectory, meaning visual and audio effects (e.g. Infected Bonesaw Infected Bonesaw will make a splatter and show a small eruption of blood upon impact) indicating if a non-visible unit is hit, providing knowledge of their whereabouts. Examples of this are Light Binding Light Binding and Grasping Roots Grasping Roots, which visibly entrap units hit even if they cannot be seen.
