Notes

• Luden's Echo will trigger on any source of damage which triggers spell effects, regardless of the type of damage
• Each spell cast will generate 10 charge.
  • Toggled abilities do not count as spell casts, such as Defile, Poison Trail, Jayce's Transform: Mercury Cannon/ Hammer, Elise's Spider Form / Human Form and  Nidalee's Aspect of the Cougar.
• Moving by any means provides 5 charges for every 100 in-game units (approximately 1 Teemo diameter) traveled. This includes walking, using dash or blink abilities like Tristana's Rocket Jump or Flash, or casting Recall or being pulled or knocked back.
• The damage dealt by Luden's Echo will apply spell effects from items as an area of effect ability.
  • Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
  • Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 40% slow.
• Note that Luden's Echo does not affect the classification of the triggering ability - a single-target ability, such as Blinding Dart, is still treated a single-target ability for applying its own spell effects.
• Luden's Echo will not apply champion-specific spell effects, such as Blaze, nor duplicate the effects of a champion ability (e.g. Blinding Dart will not blind all enemies hit and Baleful Strike will not generate AP for every enemy hit).
• With large scale AoE effects, the item will pick a main target based on the pick order.
• Basic attacks under the following conditions will trigger Luden's Echo's damage, as they are considered spells that cause ability damage:
  • Bard's Traveler's Call (meeps)
  • Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes
  • Ekko's Phase Dive
  • Gragas' Drunken Rage
  • Jax's Empower and Grandmaster's Might
  • Katarina's Bouncing Blades when hitting a marked target
  • Kayle's Righteous Fury
  • Kennen's Electrical Surge
  • Kha'Zix's Unseen Threat
  • Leona's Shield of Daybreak
  • Lux's Illumination when hitting a marked target
  • Mordekaiser's Mace of Spades
  • Sejuani's Flail of the Northern Winds
  • Shen's Twilight Assault
  • Twisted Fate's Pick A Card Pick A Card
  • Udyr's Tiger Stance (activation effect) and Udyr's Phoenix Stance (persistent effect)

Trivia

• This item was designed to replace the removed Deathfire Grasp as the third high-end AP item.

• The name "Luden's Echo" comes from a player who reached 1000 referrals on the old Refer A Friend system.
• During testing on the PBE, the item's icon was a purple recolor of Statikk Shiv.
