Notes
- Wit's End's additional on-hit damage does not apply to structures.
- Magic resistance can be stolen from multiple enemies at once, including minions, but the user can only gain a total of 30 magic resistance.
Strategy
- Wit's End is often most useful on auto-attack reliant, mixed damage dealers who deal both magic damage and physical damage, such as Shyvana or Kog'Maw, in order to both decrease the enemy's magic resistance as well as deal more damage against champions with high armor by dealing additional magic damage.
- While Wit's End is very useful when fighting against tanks with high magic resistance, it can also be very useful against champions with particularly low magic resistance as well.
- Wit's End is also highly useful on frequent auto-attackers against champions with high magic damage, since it can give its owner up to a total of +70 magic resistance while not sacrificing an item slot solely for a defensive item.
- Wit's End is viable on bruisers and tanks who rely on their auto-attacks to deal damage, such as Warwick and Shyvana, as it not only increases their damage output but also greatly bolsters their magic resistance.
- Auto-attack reliant champions who lack attack damage scalings such as Udyr's Phoenix Stance often find the 42 on-hit damage roughly equivalent to having AD, resulting in 42 × 35 = 1470 value worth of "attack damage".
- In the same vein, auto-attack reliant champions who predominantly deal magic damage such as Teemo can think of the magic resistance stolen by Wit's End as magic penetration, resulting in 155.55 - 777.75 ( 31.11 per 1 magic penetration) based upon the number of Wit's End stacks.
- In order to deal the same amount of magic damage on-hit, a champion with Nashor's Tooth would need 180 AP.
- In the same vein, auto-attack reliant champions who predominantly deal magic damage such as
- Wit's End is a strong counter to Thornmail, as it not only provides the user an on-hit effect that ignores Thornmail's passive, but its magic resistance also reduces the incoming magic damage from Thornmail's passive.

Trivia
- Wit's End gives 42 on-hit magic damage and, before an update, attack speed. Considering the item's name, this is probably a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is the answer to "the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".
