Cost Analysis

Gold Value

• 240 mana =  336
• Total Gold Value =  336

Gold Value per stack (non-champion)

• 3 mana = 4.2

Gold Value per stack (champion)

• 6 mana = 8.4

Fully Stacked Gold Value

• 360 mana = 504
  • Total Gold Value = 840

Gold efficiency

• Tear of the Goddess' base stats are 84% gold efficient.
• Tear of the Goddess' gold efficiency is increased by 1.05% per enemy hit, and 2.1% if the target is a champion.
• Tear of the Goddess becomes 100% gold efficient at 46 bonus mana.
• Tear of the Goddess is 210% gold efficient when fully stacked.

Notes

• Empowered basic attacks gained from abilities will count for triggering Mana Charge upon consuming the attack.
• When gaining maximum mana from Mana Charge, you preserve your current mana.
• Selling Tear of the Goddess and its upgrades removes the bonus mana. There is a small window of time during which Tear of the Goddess or related items can be re-bought while still retaining the bonus mana stacks. In addition, while any Tear of the Goddess or related item is held, the bonus mana stacks are retained, even if the original item used to gain the stacks is sold.
• Manaless champions cannot trigger Mana Charge.
• Summoning pets also triggers Mana Charge.

Map-Specific Differences

Howling Abyss differences ^edit

• Each charge consumed generates 50% more mana.

One for All differences ^edit

• Uses the Quick Charge version.

Nexus Blitz differences ^edit

• Each charge consumed generates 50% more mana.

Strategy

• Tear of the Goddess is an ideal item for champions with low cooldown abilities such as Ryze, Karthus, Ezreal,  Kog'Maw and Nidalee.
• Tear of the Goddess combines excellently with champions with spammable low-cost abilities that constantly deal damage (e.g.  Singed's Poison Trail or Karthus' Lay Waste), ideally fully charging it before 15 minutes.

Background

Few are fortunate enough to come across the tears of the very goddess who created our world... but those who are lucky enough to acquire a Tear of the Goddess may take pleasure in a significant boost of mana points and mana points regeneration.

Trivia

• Ezreal found the item in a Shuriman tomb and was attacked by Void creatures when he took it.
• Assuming a charge is gained every 8 seconds, the 360 mana charge maxing takes 16 minutes, reduced to 8 minutes if hitting champions.
• The Quick Charge version was also used on the Crystal Scar during Rotating Game Modes.
• Pentakill's second volume, Pentakill II: Grasp of the Undying, named its third track after this item.
• On June 12th, 2020, the Preseason 2021 Gameplay Plans revealed a redrawn version of the item icon.
