Deathfire Grasp Mk.II (Concept & Group Discussion)
While playing a casual game of League, I did some thinking about Deathfire Grasp & how it could be possible to bring it back as an In-game item. Here are my thoughts pertaining to this Item, if it was brought back:
- Costs atleast 3000 gold.
- Places it amongst the Higher tier AP Items

- Gives the user +100 AP
- Will give the user a significant boost of AP, but will still be outclassed by Rabadon's Deathcap.

- Build path: Needlessly Large Rod+Aether Wisp+Blasting Wand (Tentative)
- Bonus Movespeed (Very iffy about adding this, since Luden's Echo has a movement speed increase of 10%)
- This will give the user the movespeed needed to get into a position where they can cast their abilities or setup ambushes.
- Unique Passive #1: Magic Penetration
- Seeing how currently there are 3 known items on Summoners rift with Magic Penetration
, this will give AP Assassins such as Katarina
& Akali
even more burst potential. Same can be said for AP Mages with Burst capabilities such as Annie
& Veigar
- Unique Passive #2: Cursed (Tentative title) -By successfully damaging an enemy with an Ability, you inflict the debuff "Doom" on an enemy champion. (Single-Target) 120 second Cooldown
- After Initial Infliction, a Blue-mark will appear on the target selected. after 3 - 3.5 seconds, the mark will "POP" dealing a flat amount of Magic Damage, plus x% missing HP
- This debuff can be removed or avoided through the use of Mikael's Cruciable
, Quicksilver Sash
, Mercurial Scimitar
, Summoner Spell Cleanse
& Zhonya's Hourglass
INTERACTIONS WITH THIS ITEM - The Doom Debuff cannot be inflicted with AoE abilities such as:
: W: Pillar of Flame
: E: Tectonic Disruption
: R: Hemoplague
: Q: Rupture - Champion Abilites that are classified as Skillshots, but can affect multiple targets will only inflict Doom on the first target Struck.
Examples are:
: Q: Baleful Strike
: Q: Light Binding - Champion Abilites that are Targeted abilities are fair game.
With how well Duskblade of Drakthar
, making & giving AD Assassins (And some bruisers) more burst potential, Some AP Champions have been left without a away to inflict damage of that caliber.
With what essentially is an "AP Duskblade", AP assassin's would have more power in-game. This will also allow Riot's Champion Balance team to delve into some of the champions who can fully utilize this item & see which one could use more tuning.
This is a work in progress & I'm ok if anyone has any concepts or Ideas for this item
