Notes

• The quest reward can only be obtained after being out-of-combat for 5 seconds.
• If you damage an enemy champion or structure 3 times every 30 seconds, the passive tribute grants 15 per 10.
  • Plus 2 per 10 from the item, you can receive a total of 17 per 10.
• Area of effect abilities will use one charge per enemy champion hit.
• On-hit effects will not trigger Tribute (although the triggering attack can).
• Damage over time abilities will trigger Tribute once per instance of damage.
• Killing a minion and damaging an enemy at the same time will put Tribute on cooldown without activating.

Strategy

• Because killing minions disables the Tribute passive, Frostfang is best built on supports who are able to harass effectively in-lane.

Trivia

• Spellthief's Edge, Frostfang, and Frost Queen's Claim are all tied to the Freljord.
• This item's original name, "Kage's Lucky Pick", is thought to be a reference to Kage's quest to find the titular Pick in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.
