Ultimate Spellbook

Ultimate Spellbook is a Featured Game Mode in League of Legends. Played on Summoner's Rift, players each choose between 1 of 3 random ultimates to replace one of their summoner spells.^[1]

Features

Players will queue up in a blind pick style champion select.
You will be given 30 seconds to choose from a pool of 3 ultimates.
- If you do not confirm to take the ultimate you have selected, that ultimate will be taken automatically.
- The first ultimate is always selected.
The ultimate you pick takes the place of your Ultimate Placeholder for the rest of the game, and you can't change it. You can use your Ult-ernate Summoner Spell after its initial 135 second cooldown, even before hitting level 6.
- You can still rank up your own ultimate.
All players have 70 summoner spell haste, 160 − 330 (based on level) bonus health, 15% Tenacity and 40 bonus movement speed out-of-combat.
You can see everyone's chosen Ult-ernate Summoner Spells on both the scoreboard and next to their healthbar.
You start at level 3 and with 950.
Passive XP and gold are increased and you share minion gold with teammates in lane.
The first 2 dragons are random. The elemental rift is either the Chemtech Rift or Hextech Rift and the final dragons are either the Chemtech Drake or Hextech Drake.
Slaying epic monsters grants a buff that deals 0.3% maximum health magic damage once every second against turrets whenever you damage them.
Unsealed Spellbook is disabled in this mode.

Attack-Smite

Junglers have "Placeholder and Attack-Smite" instead of Placeholder Ult-ernate Summoner Spell in champion select. Attack-Smite gets replaced by the Ult-ernate that they select at the beginning of the game, granting a buff that is also called Attack-Smite.
- Attack-Smite: Causes basic attacks against Blue Sentinel, Red Brambleback, Rift Scuttler, or epic monsters while they are below 450 health to deal 450 bonus true damage.
  - Only affects the Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback within the user's respective side of the jungle.
- When Ivern takes Attack-Smite, he will not be able to use it to bypass Friend of the Forest's grove maturation timer. However, freeing a qualifying jungle camp will trigger Attack-Smite, granting him the heal and jungle starter item stack that a regular Smite would.

Exclusive item

Unavailable Items: Emberknife and Hailblade.
Exclusive Items: Obsidian Edge.

Ultimates

Ult-ernate Summoner Spells default have 35 bonus ability haste and scale with 80% of their regular ratios (unless stated otherwise).
Chosen ultimates have modified scalings in this mode, based upon the reduced ratios:
- Ultimates that scale with AP but not AD, now also scale with AD.
  - These ultimates now scale with 2.414% bonus AD per 1% AP.
- Ultimates that scale with AD but not AP, now also scale with AP.
  - These ultimates now scale with 0.6% AP per 1% total AD and 0.4% AP per 1% bonus AD.
- Ultimates that scale with health but not AP nor AD, now also scale with AD and AP.
  - These ultimates now scale with 13.158125% bonus AD and 8.198125% AP per 1% bonus health.
- Ultimates that do not scale with anything will continue to scale with nothing.
Ult-ernate Summoner Spells level up as your champion's personal ultimate levels up to rank 2 and 3 at levels 11 and 16 and benefit from Summoner Spell haste.
Your chosen champion's ultimate will not be available in the pool of ultimates.
Ultimate selection is unique per player on the same team; each player receives a pool of ultimates that are different from their teammates' pools.
- Only one type of ultimate may be available in the pool per team.

  - Slaying 4 ruined dragons grants the Dragon Soul:
    - Upon taking fatal damage, enter resurrection for 1.5 seconds, during which you are invulnerable, untargetable, and unable to act, and afterwards restore all of your health and take continuous internalraw damage (300 second cooldown).
      - Guardian Angel and Chronoshift will take priority over this effect. Zombie state effects will not.
