Notes

• Guinsoo's Rageblade's unique combination of traits make it something of a niche item. It is best on basic attack-based champions who benefit from both attack damage and ability power and rely on on-hit effects or on-action effects for a major portion of their damage ( Jax and Kayle).
• Guinsoo's Rage and abilities that apply on-hit effects without actually resetting the autoattack timer, will not increase stacking speed, but will apply the on hit damage.
• Runaan's Hurricane secondary bolts will not increase stacking speed.
• Upon reaching 6 stacks, you gain Guinsoo's Rage, which combined with the item's base stats, will grant a total of +73% attack speed, +53 attack damage, +74 ability power, and 15 bonus on-hit magic damage. On hit effects will also trigger an additional time every other auto attack.

Trivia

• Guinsoo's Rageblade is named after Steve 'Guinsoo' Feak, one of the main creative minds behind League of Legends and creator of DotA Allstars.
  • According to Feak, Guinsoo's Rageblade was created with Corki in mind.
  • It has a similar icon to the DotA item Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, also named after Feak.
• Guinsoo's Rageblade is one of only three items that provide ability power alongside either attack damage or attack speed – the others being Hextech Gunblade and Nashor's Tooth.
• Guinsoo's Rageblade was one of the last items released before the launch of League of Legends itself.
• There once existed a bug that enabled Sion to attain negative ability power and 2.5 attack speed with Guinsoo's Rageblade alone.

Usage

• Guinsoo's Rage's attack counter and empowered effect both occur on-attack, not on-hit. The item will not interact with abilities that apply on-hit effects (e.g. Ravage, Mystic Shot, Infinite Duress).
  • Additionally, effects that cause you to attack more than once will only be counted once (i.e. Ranger's Focus, Double Strike and Lightslinger) - you cannot increase the frequency that Phantom Hit will occur.
  • Bolts generated by Runaan's Hurricane even when hitting 2 additional targets will still count only as 1 attack towards trigering Phantom Hit.
• For all intents and purposes, Phantom Hit is identical to Runaan's Hurricane except the "additional bolt" will target the same enemy as your attack target, but is modified to deal no base damage.
• The Phantom hit will proc both Titanic Hydra and Ravenous Hydra essentially doubling the AOE damage, however the titanic hydra is superior in this aspect as it also deals on-hit damage on the primary target.
  • While dealing no base damage, Riot stated on-hit effects with AD ratios shouldn't be affected. Probable Bug: Jinx's Fishbones is not interacting with Guinsoo's Rage (both the 10% bonus damage and splash damage).
• One-use on-hit effects, such as Siphoning Strike and Sheen, remain one-use, as the on-hit effect will be consumed by the initial strike and be unavailable for the second.
• It is important to know the difference between an on-hit effect (which Phantom Hit will apply) and an on-attack effect (which Phantom Hit will not), these effects are listed below.
• PENDING FOR TEST: Critical strike (e.g. for Statikk Shiv).
• While life steal is not specifically disabled, the lack of base physical damage makes it ineffective.

Phantom Hit does not cause you to attack twice. Effects that trigger when you attack or whose counters increase when you attack will only apply once per attack, regardless of Phantom Hit. This affects abilities such as:

• Ashe's Ranger's Focus (stack generation and empowered active)
• Bard's Meeps Meeps
• Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes
• Kayle's Righteous Fury (splash damage)

• Sivir's Ricochet
• Volibear's Thunder Claws (splash damage)
• Xin Zhao's Battle Cry (stack generation on structures)
• Guinsoo's Rageblade (stack generation)
• Muramana (stack generation)
• Runaan's Hurricane (minor bolts)

For effects such as Aatrox's Blood Thirst, the game will pro-actively use the champion's empowered attack animation if the attack would trigger the effect due to Phantom Hit - e.g. Aatrox will perform his lunge animation on every 2nd attack (with Phantom Hit). This does not apply to Diana's Moonsilver Blade.
