Question about Liandry's passive.

FioraWillCarry·Dec 15, 2015·1 votes·352 views

> Unique: Dealing spell damage applies a damage-over-time effect that deals bonus magic damage equal to 2% of the target's current health per second for 3 seconds. This bonus damage is doubled against movement-impaired units and capped at 100 damage per second vs. monsters.

The above quote is a description of Liandry's passive. What caught my eye was the fact that it does magic damage which means the damage will be mitigated by the target's MR. The passive I'm guessing works like a debuff so it go me thinking and here's my question. Is the passive's damage affected by the magic penetration stats of the champion that applied it ?

Thing is, I'm wondering if having a and/or along side Liandry would make its passive more effective. Can anyone clarify ?

Thanks.

Yes, any magic damage will be amplified by magic penetration, and the reverse ls also true, any physical damage is amplificed by armor penetration.

In fact, those items combined work very well against tanks. Combine Liandry with Void Staff, and with a sustained damage mage, any tank will fall easily.

Malzahar It seems best to take more time to properly evaluate the costs and benefits.

Swain It would not be wise to rush such a decision.

This build is so good on Brand, that you can go support with him and still carry.

Get those items plus item 3092 item 2045 . You can be a very good support while still dealing tons of damage. In fact I just played as support Brand and even the enemies recognized that I was the main reason why we won.

Of course, going mid allows him to build more offensive items and deal a lot more damage, but generally those items allow him to deal enough damage.

Ah good to know. I was just concerned that given the fact that the passive is a debuff that stays on the target, it wouldn't "carry" the magic pen stats of the person that applied it.

Thanks for your response.
