Tiamat is an advanced item in League of Legends.

Recipe

• Pickaxe (975g)
• Long Sword (415g)
• Faerie Charm (180g)
• Rejuvenation Bead (250g)
• 250g

Notes

• Tiamat's splash radius, 185, is extremely small. For comparison, most melee champions have an attack range of 125. If facing a Tiamat-heavy build on an enemy champion, staying even slightly spread out will counter it completely. On the flip side, abilities that force stacking like Galio's Idol of Durand or Orianna's Command: Shockwave will make it much more effective.
• The splash damage will also apply a percentage of damage from critical strikes. However, on-hit effects such as life steal and slows are not transferred.
• The splash damage passive from the item is not unique, meaning that it is possible to obtain up to 300% splash damage with 6 Tiamats.
• The bonus splash damage of each Tiamat is dealt separately.
• The splash is considered an on-hit effect, and thus will be triggered by basic attacks and abilities that proc on-hit effects, such as Gangplank's Parrrley, Ezreal's Mystic Shot, Warwick's Infinite Duress, Twitch's Spray and Pray or Fiora's Blade Waltz.
• When using Tiamat, kills due to splash damage do not grant bonus damage for Nasus' Siphoning Strike or bonus gold from Gangplank's Parrrley.
• Since, while in Dragon Form, Shyvana's Twin Bite ability causes ALL enemies in a cone in front of her to be hit by her next standard attack, it will trigger the Tiamat passive on every single enemy within range, causing the splash damage to scale quadratically rather than linearly. This is currently the only ability in the game capable of this.
  • Example: With 10 enemies in a cone in front of Shyvana, at rank 5, all enemies in a cone in front of her will take 200% of her auto-attack damage from Twin Bite. In addition, Tiamat's passive will splash half of that damage (100%) to each nearby enemy. This will be triggered 10 times (once for each enemy in range), but a target won't take their OWN splash damage, meaning they will be hit by 9 of the Tiamat splashes each. As such, EVERY enemy in the cone will take 200% + (100%x9) = 1100% damage from Shyvana's Twin Bite attack.

Trivia

• In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat was the first dragon and was slain to make the heavens, earth, and man.
• In the V1.0.0.115 April Fools day patch Tiamat was renamed to Tamat, the name of a Rioter.
