Cost Analysis

Template:Gold value math

Gold efficiency

• Targon's Buckler is 121.04% gold efficient without its passive and active.
• Assuming Targon's Buckler's user kills the most valuable minions available, Spoils of War provides:
  • 9.33 per 10 seconds to the user, while also sharing that same gold with the lane partner.
  • Between 15 and 25 minutes, this is increased to 17.44 per 10.
  • After 25 minutes, this is futher increased to 20 per 10.

Notes

• The quest reward can only be obtained after being out-of-combat for 5 seconds.
• Triggering the Spoils of War passive adds +1 to the creep score of the allied champion who receives the bonus gold.
• The Spoils of War passive is triggered no matter what method is used to kill the minion, but the execution aspect of the ability only works with melee basic attacks.
• Spoils of War will trigger Ardent Censer but not Summon Aery.
• "Receive diminishing gold from excessive minion kills": Farming more than 20 CS per 5 minutes (3 out of 10 waves) reduces gold from minions by 50%. The penalty increases with further CS to a max of 80% reduction at 50 minions. Once the penalty kicks in, your CS gold is reduced to (70 - CS within 5 minutes)%.
• Having a support item to tier 2 or tier 3, selling it, and buying another support item will automatically upgrade that item to the respective tier.

Strategy

• Targon's Buckler is typically purchased by melee supports such as Alistar, Braum, Leona, Nunu, and Taric, who benefit from the durability it provides and can utilize the execution aspect of the Spoils of War passive.
• This item is occasionally purchased by both champions in a double-bruiser lane, forgoing early damage for the sustain and extra gold the item provides.

Trivia

• The amount of gold gained with the item is indicated in-game by the Gold Quest tooltip.
• Frostfang, Harrowing Crescent, Runesteel Spaulders, and Targon's Buckler are a set of items available since Season Ten that were designed for Support.
