Blitzcrank
Blitzcrank is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- The shield will absorb the portion of incoming damage that would reduce health past 30%.
- Mana Barrier's interactions with other shield effects that trigger before taking damage that would reduce below 30% health:
- Mana Barrier will trigger simultaneously with the Lifeline effect from , , or if Blitzcrank takes damage while above 30% health, and trigger before them when the damage is taken while below 30% health.
- Mana Barrier will always trigger simultaneously with the Lifeline effect from if Blitzcrank takes damage while above or below 30% health.
- Mana Barrier will trigger after if Blitzcrank takes damage while above 30% health, and trigger simultaneously with it while below 30% health.
- Mana Barrier will trigger simultaneously with the Lifeline effect from , , or if Blitzcrank takes damage while above 30% health, and trigger before them when the damage is taken while below 30% health.
- Rocket Grab's range is composed of a missile with 1080 range, and a smaller center-range area check at the end (colloqially known as a 'lollipop').
- The area check is currently half as long as it is supposed to be, reducing the intended 1150 range of the ability to 1115 range.
- Hitting an enemy with this area check only also fails to play the ability's hit SFX. This makes it possible to easily distinguish whether the target was picked up by the missile collision or 'lollipop'.
- Targets larger than 95 units in radius can be hit by a different edge-range circle check at the end of the missile.
- The area check is currently half as long as it is supposed to be, reducing the intended 1150 range of the ability to 1115 range.
- The airborne debuff lasts for up-to 1 second but will end prematurely when the target's movement stops, while the stun will persist (if duration permits).
- Displacement immunity will not resist the application of the stun.
- The target's destination lies 75 units in front of Blitzcrank.
- If the target is closer than this, the effect will still move them to this location.
- If this location would be inside static terrain, the target's destination will end up on Blitzcrank's side, even if that means pulling them right on top of Blitzcrank.
- This can occasionally fail.
- If Blitzcrank is being moved (e.g. Airborne, Kinematics or ) during the grab, the target will be pulled towards Blitzcranks old location.
- Blitzcrank will be ordered to basic attack the target once the target arrives.
- If the target dies to Rocket Grab's damage, they will not be pulled.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Blitzcrank is an enormous, near-indestructible automaton from Zaun, originally built to dispose of hazardous waste. However, he found this primary purpose too restricting, and modified his own form to better serve the fragile people of the Sump. Blitzcrank selflessly uses his strength and durability to protect others, extending a helpful metal fist or burst of energy to subdue any troublemakers.
