Strategy

• Archangel's Staff is commonly paired with Rod of Ages for many ability power scaling champions. These two items together can effectively eliminate any champion's mana problems and the early Tear of the Goddess and Catalyst the Protector are useful in lane for the healing sustain and increased mana pool. The only downside to this build is Archangel's Staff / Tear of the Goddess as well as Rod of Ages take considerable time to stack.
  • Keep in mind that Rod of Ages isn't the only mana item that synergizes with Archangel's Staff. Lich Bane, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Frozen Heart can all replace or be added to Rod of Ages depending on one's champion and one's team's needs, Lich Bane for more burst and Iceborn Gauntlet or Frozen Heart for each's own armor and utility.
• Archangel's Staff has great synergy with a Rabadon's Deathcap, as it increases ability power by 35%. This means that whenever your mana is increased, the Archangel's Staff will increase your ability power, and then the Rabadon's Deathcap will increase it again due to the 35% increased ability power passive.
  • This is equal to 4.05% of the holder maximum mana.

Notes

• Note that most champions have around 800-1100 base mana at level 18.
  • Not counting manaless champions, Kalista and Vayne have 232 mana at level one, the lowest in the game, which combined with the staff's own 250 mana already equals 482. Taking into account the time (and therefore level) it takes to get the gold to buy it, it is almost impossible for this item to be gold inefficient.
• Archangel's Staff grants 1 ability power per ~33 mana, giving a total of 87.5 ability power by itself at zero stacks.
• The bonus mana does not stack with multiple Archangel's Staves, Tears of the Goddess or Manamunes. However, once an Archangel's Staff upgrades into Seraph's Embrace, the mana counter resets back to 0 and you can start charging another Tears of the Goddess or Archangel's Staff. The 1000 bonus mana from the upgrade will remain.
• Assuming a charge is gained every 4 seconds, the 750 mana Unique Passive takes 6 minutes and 16 seconds to max. (The Tears of the Goddess takes 12 minutes and 32 seconds).
  • There is a 2 charge banking system to help burst casters.
• Rammus' Powerball adds one stack upon cast and another stack if ended early without a collision. Similarly, Janna's Howling Gale adds one stack upon activation, and a second if activated early.
• Singed's Poison Trail adds one stack whenever the ability's toggle is active and the Tear/Archangel's Staff stack is not cooling down (i.e. continuously).
• Manaless champions may charge the Tear of the Goddess, Manamune and Archangel's Staff to get Muramana and Seraph's Embrace. However, they won't get any bonuses of Muramana's Awe and toggle, as well as Seraph's Embrace's Insight and Mana Shield.
