A passive effect is an effect that is applied as a part of a larger action, or is present throughout the game. They grant added bonuses, some of which directly increase base stats, and may require activation or a condition to be met.
Passive abilities are champion abilities with only passive components.
Acquisition[]
There are currently three different ways to acquire passive effects in the game.
- Champion abilities: Each innate ability has a passive effect, but some champions have an additional ability (or abilities) that grants a boost passively (ex. ).
- Items: When purchased, these items will grant the wearer increased stats and effects while owned. These passive effects may change as through the build path, but usually remain consistent (ex. ).
- Global map effects: These include the Howling Abyss Aura and Awesome Buff of Awesomely Awesome Buffing. This passive effect applies to all players from the start to the end of the game.
Types[]
There are several different types of passive effects, aside from the usual defensive, offensive or utility. These mainly are:
Constant passives[]
These effects are persistent throughout the game no matter what action is taken. They include innate abilities, and both Howling Abyss Aura and Awesome Buff of Awesomely Awesome Buffing passive bonuses.
Restrained passives[]
These are in effect until a certain action is taken that temporarily disables them.
Stacking passives[]
These passives have an effect which increases each time a certain action is performed.
