Notes

File:Champ with guardian angel.png

Visual appearance

• Guardian Angel's passive makes your champion untargetable for 4 seconds before revival.
• Its passive will always activate before Blood Well and Rebirth, but after the Chrono Shift Chrono Shift buff if the owner has it.
• If you use Ghost and Guardian Angel activates, Ghost will still be in effect after you have been revived.
• Selling and repurchasing the item will not reset the cooldown on its Unique Passive.
• The passive does not activate when killed by the Nexus Obelisk.
• The healing boost of Spirit Visage (+20% to healing)  affects its passive, causing it to restore 36% health in total.
• If its passive activates on Malzahar and his Voidlings are alive, they'll keep moving and attacking.
• If  Dr. Mundo dies while under the effects of  Sadism then he will continue to heal even as the passive is activating

Trivia

• The name "Guardian Angel" is also used for an ability of the DotA hero Omniknight.
• Guardian Angel is one of only three items in the game to passively offer both armor and magic resistance; the others being Moonflair Spellblade and Zz'Rot Portal.
