## Notes

* The active is not considered a  projectile.
* Life steal applies to the bonus damage even if it's dealt through other items/abilities, such as **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 110: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**.
	+ It also benefits from File:Heal power.png Heal Power.
* The passive damage is not factored into  critical strikes, as it is an on-hit effect.
* **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** increases the heal from the bonus damage twice, for 69% (1.3 × 1.3), instead of 30%. This only occurs if the heal comes from life steal.
* The  <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">movement speed buff  stacks additively with other percentage <span style="color:**Script error: The function "keyword" does not exist.**;">movement speed buffs.
* Although **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** and **Blade of the Ruined King** both have a **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** in their recipe, their item actives are considered distinct from one another and will not put each other on cooldown.

## Strategy

* This item is often built as a form of "anti-tank" item used to counter health-stacking champions (or champions that scale well in health) 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 148: 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 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, and **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**.
* **Blade of the Ruined King** can be seen as a soft defensive item, as its active offers high utility. Depending on the situation, it can be used to lock down a target, evade skillshots, or most importantly, improve kiting.
* Champions who are highly dependent on basic attacks (**Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: 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 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, etc.) often build this item due to the attack speed, lifesteal, and the passive that helps boost their autoattacks.
* Champions with an attack speed steroid like **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: 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 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** or champions with on-hit effect abilities like **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: 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 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** can synergize well with **Blade of the Ruined King**, making better use of the passive.
	+ Champions that autoattack and deal true damage also benefit from the passive on **Blade of the Ruined King**, as the best counter to true damage is to build health
		- However, being able to constantly autoattack is still the foremost criteria. Prime examples are **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**, **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** or **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).**.
	+ AD Casters can also consider picking this item up as a side item for extra damage and sustain vs HP targets, but only if they have abilities that directly synergize with auto attacks via applying on-hit effects (e.g. **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).** and **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 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).** are strong counters to **Blade of the Ruined King**, as both provide armor and an attack speed slow; in the former's case, it provides a Grievous Wounds effect that counters BotRK's lifesteal. The latter's case has more armor and also has its attack speed slow in the form of an aura.
	+ However, when combined with lethality or any other form of defense-stat bypass, the HP-based damage will punch through easily in most cases against a variety of targets.

## Trivia

* **Blade of the Ruined King** is named after **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 148: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** uncle, the king of The Argent Throne of south-western Valoran who transformed the Blessed Isles into the undead-dwelling Shadow Isles after his 'grief overcame his reason' and lead him to attempt and fail to resurrect his wife.
* With the start of the preseason of Season 3 **Lua error in Module:ImageLink at line 174: attempt to call field 'arguments' (a nil value).** was removed and was replaced by **Blade of the Ruined King**.
