Strategy Edit

• Abyssal Scepter's aura can be helpful in a variety of situations, not all of which are immediately obvious. It is especially powerful for melee champions and short-ranged casters, who are exceptional at close combat to the enemy and deal considerable amounts of magic damage. With proper maneuvering, these characters can apply the debuff to the entire enemy team at once, securing kills for longer-ranged champions.
• The debuff also affects minions and monsters, except for the Dragon, Baron Nashor and Vilemaw.
• The icon indicating the debuff aura often appears before the enemy who carries it. If an enemy is standing in a nearby brush or just over a wall, the debuff icon may give them away even if they cannot be seen.
• The aura will remain present even while using Zhonya's Hourglass.

Item effect compatibility Edit

• Sunfire Cape - fully fits within aura range, nice item pair to greatly improve one's overall survivability and aoe damage output.
• Hextech Gunblade - active part has range of 700 units. For best results, try to make sure that the missile hits a target within the aura radius, an applied slow also helps to keep target in aura range.
