Entropy is a legendary item in League of Legends.^[1]

Recipe

• Phage (1465g)
  • Ruby Crystal (475g)
  • Long Sword (400g)
  • 425g
• B. F. Sword (1550g)
• 600g

Cost Analysis

Gold Value

• 70 attack damage = 2800g
• 275 health = 726g
  • Total Gold Value = 3526g

Gold Efficiency

• The passive and active must have at least a combined valued of 89g for Entropy to be gold efficient.

Notes

• Entropy is only available in the Dominion and ARAM game modes (the Crystal Scar and Howling Abyss maps).
• The active effect on Entropy is the only active effect on any item that procs the bonus damage from Sheen, Trinity Force, and Lich Bane.

Strategy

• Frozen Mallet is an alternate Legendary item that also builds from Phage and performs a similar function. It has less damage but a stronger slow and more health, making it better on melee fighter champions who need more health to survive being in close-range and a stronger slow to keep opponents from escaping.

Trivia

• Entropy's active ability is intended to replicate the effects of Blessing of the Lizard Elder, which is not available in Dominion.
• Veigar's innate ability was originally called "Entropy" until it was replaced to  Equilibrium.
• Until season three, Entropy was the only item that granted the user deal true damage. It remains one of two items, along with Spirit of the Elder Lizard.
