Notes

• The Spoils of War does not provide the wearer any actual gold. All gold generated is given to allies instead.
• Triggering the Spoils of War passive adds +1 to the creep score of the allied champion who receives the bonus gold.
• The execute health threshold is affected by the bonus damage from critical strikes and other autoattack modifiers (like Gangplank's Parrrley), but not from Sheen.
• The Spoils of War passive is triggered no matter what method is used to kill the minion, though the execute can only be triggered with melee autoattacks.
• The Deadly Phalanx active can be cast on yourself.
• The shield changes colors (from blue to yellow) right before it explodes. As an enemy, you can use this visual indication to avoid the explosion.
• On Summoner's Rift, assuming Face of the Mountain's user kills the most valuable minions available, it provides 8.9 gold per 10 seconds to the lane partner before the 35-minute mark. After 35 minutes, it provides 11.1 gold per 10 to the to the lane partner.

Trivia

• Relic Shield, Targon's Brace, and Face of the Mountain are all tied to Mount Targon.
