An Acquired Taste

An Acquired Taste

Innate: Tahm Kench's basic attacks and Tongue Lash deal 8 − 60 (based on level) (+ 2.5% of his bonus health) bonus magic damage.

Passive: Basic attacks and Tongue Lash against enemy champions apply An Acquired Taste stack for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times, with the duration refreshing on Tongue Lash and subsequent attacks. The stacks decay once every 0.67 seconds when the duration ends.

Tongue Lash and Devour gain additional effects against enemies with 3 stacks.

Tongue Lash

Tongue Lash
RANGE:	900
WIDTH:	140
SPEED:	2800
CAST TIME:	0.25
COST:	50 / 46 / 42 / 38 / 34 Mana
COOLDOWN:	7 / 6.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5

Active: Tahm Kench lashes his tongue out in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy hit and slowing them by 40% for 2 seconds, as well as healing himself if they are a champion.

Magic Damage: 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+ 70% AP) (+ 8 − 60 (based on level) (+ 2.5% bonus health)) Heal: 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 4 / 4.5 / 5 / 5.5 / 6% of missing health)

If an enemy champion is struck while at three An Acquired Taste stacks, all of their stacks are consumed to stun them for 1.5 seconds.

During Tongue Lash, Devour can be cast at no cost to swallow the target enemy champion hit while at 3 An Acquired Taste stacks after pulling them towards him.

Tahm Kench is unable to move, attack, or cast Abyssal Dive or Devour on a different target while his tongue is in flight. Tongue Lash's range and travel speed can be increased by Tahm Kench's size.

• Tongue Lash's range and speed scale 1:1 alongside any size modifiers to Tahm Kench, but will not be reduced below their base values if his overall size modifier is smaller than 100%.
  • As the missile range and speed scale simultaneously, Tongue Lash will always take 0.33 seconds to reach its maximum range (no matter the cast range).
  • Because of this, increasing Tahm Kench's size with items such as Frostfire Gauntlet, Gargoyle Stoneplate and/or Elixir of Iron allows him to hit targets at even the same distance more quickly and giving them less time to dodge.
• Devour can be 'queued' at any point during Tongue Lash (including the wind-up animation) and will not go on cooldown if Tahm Kench fails to hit a valid target with Tongue Lash.
• All three An Acquired Taste stacks will be consumed even if Tongue Lash's stun is negated.

Abyssal Dive

Abyssal Dive
TARGET RANGE:	1000 / 1050 / 1100 / 1150 / 1200
EFFECT RADIUS:	275 / 200
COST:	60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120 Mana
COOLDOWN:	21 / 20 / 19 / 18 / 17

Active: Tahm Kench dives into the waters, channeling for 1.35 seconds and upon completion blinking to the target location, emerging after a 0.15-second delay and remaining unable to act for 0.65 seconds after the channel completes.

Upon emerging from the depths, Tahm Kench deals magic damage to nearby enemies and knocks them up and stuns them for 1 second. If Abyssal Dive hits at least one enemy champion, 40% of its  cooldown and  mana cost are refunded.

Magic Damage: 100 / 135 / 170 / 205 / 240 (+ 100% AP)

Enemies can see the indicator for Tahm Kench's destination after he has channeled for 0.75 seconds. Tahm Kench grants sight of the area during the channel.

"Boy, the world's one river, and I'm its king. Ain't no place I ain't been; ain't no place I can't go again."

Thick Skin

Thick Skin
CAST TIME:	0.25
COOLDOWN:	3

Passive: Tahm Kench stores a percentage of the post-mitigation damage he takes as grey health on his health bar, up to a maximum of 300% of his maximum health.

Damage into Grey Health: 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 / 65%

While Thick Skin is available, and after taking no damage for 4 seconds, Tahm Kench rapidly heals himself to restore 30% − 100% (based on level) of his grey health. Every 0.264 seconds he heals for 10% of his maximum health.

Active: Tahm Kench converts his current grey health into a shield that lasts for 2.5 seconds.

• Hide
• Details

Info

Targeting input	Auto

• Thick Skin shield value and grey health percentage heal are both boosted by effects that increase heal and shield power. This means Tahm Kench can technically heal more than the normal amount of grey health and get a shield bigger than his maximum health.
  • At level 18 Tahm Kench would need 53.8%  heal power to heal for 100% of the damage he takes, reduced to 34.9% with Revitalize, 23.1% with Spirit Visage, and 6.9% with both.
• Grey health converts all post-mitigation damage, Thick Skin effectively grants Tahm Kench a form of true damage mitigation.
• Grey health can temporarily exceed 100% of his missing health when Tahm Kench heals through other means with a grey health bar at 100%. In that case he will keep the higher grey health value for a few moments until it updates and removes the amount that he healed.

Edit

Devour

Devour
TARGET RANGE:	250
CAST TIME:	0.25
COST:	100 Mana
COOLDOWN:	120 / 100 / 80

Active: Tahm Kench swallows the target champion for up to 3 seconds, rendering them vanished and unable to act, as well as granting them displacement immunity for the duration.

If the target is an ally, they are granted a shield for 2.5 seconds, refreshing after they are Regurgitated. Tahm Kench is slowed and unable to cast movement spells, excluding Abyssal Dive, while an ally is swallowed.

Shield Strength: 400 / 500 / 600 (+ 100% AP) Ally Slow: 30 / 20 / 10%

If the target is an enemy, they are suppressed for the duration. Devour can only be cast on enemies with 3 An Acquired Taste stacks, consuming them in the process. Tahm Kench is grounded and slowed by 40% while an enemy is swallowed.

After 1 second, Devour can be recast into Regurgitate while a target is swallowed, and automatically does so at the end of the duration if they are still so. Allied champions can exit at will by inputting a movement command after the same delay, unless they're immobilized.

If Tahm Kench is performing Abyssal Dive, Regurgitate will not automatically cast until after he finishes.

Edit

Regurgitate

Regurgitate

Active: Tahm Kench spits the target out in the target direction. If the target is an enemy, they are dealt magic damage at the end of the displacement.

Magic Damage: 100 / 250 / 400 (+ 15% (+ 5% per 100 AP) of the target's maximum health)

Notes

• Devour will end prematurely under the following circumstances:
  • The enemy target cleanses the suppression.
  • Tahm Kench or his target dies.
    • If he dies during the cast time, the target will be dealt Regurgitate's damage.
  • Tahm Kench enters resurrection.
    • If he enters resurrection during the cast time, the target will be dealt Regurgitate's damage.
  • Tahm Kench or his target enters or leaves the Realm of Death.
    • If the caster of that ability enters the realm, they will be Regurgitated instead.
• Devour cannot be used on allies that are channeling or using an ability that preloads UnstoppableForceMarker.
• Devour's swallow will be resisted by enemies that are displacement immune.
• The target becomes untargetable and displacement immune on-cast, and will vanish at the end of the cast time.
  • Enemy targets will become suppressed on-cast.
    • If the target cleanses the suppression during the cast time they will not be swallowed at the end of the cast time.
• Swallowed enemy champions will receive the recast's damage regardless of how they leave Tahm Kench's belly.
