Notes Edit

• This item shares the Cleave and Crescent effects with Tiamat.
• This item's effects cannot be used by ranged champions. Champions who can switch between ranged and melee forms (like Jayce and Kayle) can utilize its effects when in melee forms.
• Similar to how spell vamp interacts with area-of-effect, this item currently applies only half your life steal. ^[2]
• Cleave's damage will not scale with the bonus damage from effects such as Sheen,  Siphoning Strike or critical strikes.
• Cleave's damage does not trigger on-hit effects, except for life steal.
• There is a 0.05 second internal cooldown on being triggered by different targets. ^[3]
  • This affects abilities such as Shyvana's  Twin Bite (Dragon form).
  • There is no cooldown on triggering the effect on a single target, such as  Double Strike or  Shyvana's  Twin Bite(Human Form).
• The Cleave passive has a radius of ~385 ^[4]
• The Crescent active has a radius of 400 ^[4].
• It is important to note that the Cleave passive is centered on the target while the Crescent active is centered on the user.
• Activating Crescent instantly deals damage around you and resets the auto-attack timer as well. This makes it look like a fast triple attack.
• Cleave's and Crescent's damage procs The Black Cleaver's passive effect.
•  Parrrley procs Ravenous Hydra as well as Tiamat despite the fact that the ability has a range.
  • Using  Gangplank's  Parrrley with Ravenous Hydra will give you extra gold for every single minion killed with Ravenous Hydra's passive effect.
