Attack damage (or AD) directly increases the physical damage of a unit's autoattack and also improves the damage some champion abilities do. 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 85.6 ( Thresh) to 129.7 ( Cho'Gath and Skarner).

Attack Damage has a theoretical gold value of 40 gold per unit. This means that B. F. Sword and Pickaxe are the most efficient AD core items, with a gold/AD ratio of 34.4 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 40 gold per 1 AD.

Rammus's  Spiked Shell increases his attack damage by 25% of his armor. This includes his base armor and is an innate passive ability thus essentially increasing his base damage unlike all other ranked champion abilities which are temporary or situational boosts to damage. The increase to Rammus' damage is 6.2 at level 1 for a total of 59.7 and 22.35 at level 18 for a total of 135.35.

Gangplank's  Raise Morale, Tryndamere's  Bloodlust, and Fiora's  Riposte are abilities that passively increases their respective champions' attack damage. They are ranked abilities and thus cannot be counted on for a bonus at level 1. However, arguments could be made that at level 18 they will have 5 ranks and thus this will increase their damage permanently.

•  Raise Morale raises Gangplank's total attack damage to 124.
•  Bloodlust raises Tryndamere's total attack damage to a minimum of 138.6.
•  Riposte raises Fiora's total attack damage to 147.1.
