Revision as of 12:43, 20 May 2019
True damage is one of the three types of damage in League of Legends. True damage ignores armor and magic resistance, as well as other forms of damage reduction such as 
Unbreakable Will, 
Unbreakable, 
Shield of Durand, 
Primal Howl, and 
Defiant Dance.
Blocking true damage
- Abilities or summoner spells which deal true damage are still blocked by spell shields.
- Standard Attacks which deal additional true damage are still capable of being blocked by
Pantheon's Aegis Protection. - Invulnerability (e.g. Kayle's Divine Judgement) and Fiora's Riposte will block all damage to a target champion, including true damage.
- Using Counter Strike ( Jax) can dodge true damage from on-hit effects and standard attacks.
Countering true damage
True damage cannot be mitigated or reduced, but there are ways to deal with it:
- Stacking health causes sources of flat true damage (e.g. Ignite) to effectively deal a lesser percentage of total health.
- Shields that absorb true damage (white), such as Barrier, Sion's Soul Furnace, and Janna's Eye of the Storm.
- Invulnerability which blocks all types of damage, such as Stopwatch or Kayle's Divine Judgement.

Notes
- Despite popular belief, champions whose abilities have health costs associated with them do not deal true damage to themselves when they use an ability which requires health to cast.
- This can be evidenced when they have an absorption shield on them, when they use their health-based ability, the cost of it penetrates the shield and directly drains the health of the user, in contrary to true damage that has to break any absorption shield on the target to reach their health.
- The Nexus Obelisk deals a special form of true damage that additionally bypasses every effect in the game, such as shields, damage transfers, , untargetability and invulnerability effects. Furthermore, it will not flag the champion receiving such damage as 'in combat'. Untargetability may still drop turret aggro.
- True damage is unaffected by damage modifiers (i.e Exhaust, Coup de Grace).
- As of patch V3.15, true damage is no longer amplified by abilities such Zed's Death Mark and Vladimir's Hemoplague.
