Attack damage

Attack damage (or AD) directly increases the physical damage of a unit's autoattack and also improves the damage some champion abilities too. Every champion starts with some base attack damage that increases each level. Additionally, several items and champion abilities, as well as spells, buffs, runes and masteries grant bonus attack damage. The champion's total attack damage is the base attack damage plus the bonus attack damage.

This statistic stacks additively in most circumstances. When there are percentile attack damage bonuses, they are first added together if there are several sources and then they multiply the total attack damage of the champion.

At level 18, base attack damage ranges from 84.8 ( Orianna) to 139 ( Mega Gnar).

Attack Damage has a theoretical gold value of 36 gold per unit. This means that B. F. Sword and Pickaxe are the most efficient AD core items, with a gold/AD ratio of 31 and 35 respectively. The costs of these stats are always offset by increased final costs of their upgraded items, so The Bloodthirster and Infinity Edge still break even at 36 gold per 1 AD.

• The highest attainable attack damage by a playable champion is 1757.99... on Malphite. To reach this amount, he must:
  • be level 18.
  • be at less than 30% max HP.
  • have a fully stacked Sword of the Occult, four Bloodthirsters and Maw of Malmortius.
  • have a full page of Template:Rune runes.
  • Maximum ranks in the Martial Mastery, Brute Force, and Warlord masteries.
  • possess the Hand of Baron buff.
  • have consumed an Elixir of Wrath.
  • be affected by the auras of nearby Taric's Radiance and Gangplank's Raise Morale abilities.
  • possess 5 stacks of the Dragon Slayer buff.
  • be affected by a teammate's Zeke's Herald aura.
  • be under the effect of Janna's Eye Of The Storm Eye Of The Storm cast by a Janna with the maximum amount of ability power.
  • be under the effect of Brutal Strikes.

This combination will result in Malphite having 1757.99... AD.

Relevant mathematics:

Janna AP = (180 + 120 × 4 + 137.301 + 83.16 + 16 + 6 + 40 + 40 + 35) × (1.3 × 1.05 × 1.12) = 1555.494377

Malphite AD = (((110 + 80 × 4 + 95 + 51.75 + 10 + 4 + 40 + 25 + 35 + 40 + 20 + 205.5494377) × 1.05 ) + 117.05) × (1.4 × 1.12) = 1757.985794
