## Notes

* Spellblade is an on-hit effect and, as such, will proc from abilities that trigger on-hit effects (i.e. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**; **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**).
* Spell vamp and  life steal do not heal from the **bonus** damage.
* The 1.5 second cooldown will not begin after using an ability, but after hitting an enemy with the spellblade-empowered auto attack.
* The bonus damage does not stack with **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, or **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** since they all have a unique passive with the same name.
	+ Only the **more damaging** effect is used:
		- 1. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**: <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">75% base AD + <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">(50% AP) bonus magic damage.
		- 2. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**: <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">200% base AD bonus physical damage.
		- 3. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**: <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">100% base AD bonus physical damage.
		- 4. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**: <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">100% base AD bonus physical damage.
* The movement speed stat only increases flat movement speed, and will not interact with other percentage increases.

## Strategy

* The passive on **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** effectively costs 533 gold, this is equivalent to about 24.5 AP. For **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** to be worth purchasing, the passive must deal more damage than an additional 25 AP would.
* **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** is especially deadly if combined with an AA modifier, such as **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** massively increasing the AP ratio on the ability, and is even more effective if the user can force the use only minding the 1.5 second cooldown.
* **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** scales with base attack damage and ability power while **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** only scales with base attack damage. For some hybrid champions, it may be better to buy **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** because once the champion reaches level 18, it becomes impossible to increase the damage from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** with items compared to **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**. The proc from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** far surpasses **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** with a **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** alone on the majority of champions, not to mention other AP items.
* Similar to **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** synergizes well with cooldown reduction, enabling champions to proc the bonus damage as often as possible while minding the 1.5 second cooldown; the 10 second bonus damage buff does not stack. Using two skills in quick succession will not accrue two stacks of bonus damage, but one.
* Unlike Trinity Force, Lich Bane does not necessarily need to be used by champions with high base attack damage to deal the highest damage possible, since Lich Bane is the only Spellblade item that can scale (with AP in its case). Just making sure to stack a lot of AP is enough to ensure that this item will deal relevant damage. However, Lich Bane still deals more damage with higher base AD, due to its base AD scaling.
* When **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** is ready to be used it will be seen on the champion as a purple glow. For example, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** will have a glowing mouth, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** will have glowing hands, and **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** will have a glowing sword. The glow only appears after using an ability.
	+ The same thing will occur with **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** and **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**. You can easily distinguish between **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** buff and that of the other items by looking at the color.
		- The particle from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** and **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** is bright red and it leaves a small trail.
		- The particle from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** is bright blue.
		- The particle from **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** is bright purple.
* Only the **more damaging** is used:
	+ 1. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**
		- <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">75% base AD + <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">(50% AP) bonus magic damage.
	+ 2. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**
		- <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">200% base AD bonus physical damage.
	+ 3. **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**
		- <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">100% base AD bonus physical damage.
