Background Edit

Few are fortunate enough to come across the tears of the very goddess who created our world... but those who are lucky enough to acquire a Tear of the Goddess may take pleasure in a significant boost of mana points and mana points regeneration.

Notes Edit

• After upgraded into Manamune or Archangel's Staff, the item retains the mana gained from its passive.
• Selling Tear of the Goddess and its upgrades removes the bonus mana. There is a small window of time during which Tear of the Goddess or related items can be re-bought while still retaining the bonus mana stacks. In addition, while any Tear of the Goddess or related item is held, the bonus mana stacks are retained, even if the original item used to gain the stacks is sold.
• Assuming a charge is gained every 3 seconds, the 750-mana unique passive takes 9 minutes and 24 seconds to max.
• The bonus mana does not stack with Archangel's Staff, Manamune, or another Tear of the Goddess.
• The bonus mana does stack with Seraph's Embrace and Muramana. This is due to the fully formed Seraph's Embrace and Muramana not having the Mana Charge passive. The tear starts at 0 however, and must be charged again. Useful in mana stacking strategies such as Muramana Ryze in general.
• Manaless champions may charge the Tear of the Goddess, Manamune and Archangel's Staff to get Muramana and Seraph's Embrace. However, they won't get any bonuses of Muramana's Awe and toggle, as well as Seraph's Embrace's Insight and Mana Shield.

Strategy Edit

• Tear of the Goddess is an ideal item for champions with low cooldown abilities such as Ryze, Karthus, Ezreal,  Kog'Maw, Urgot or Nidalee (abilities in  Aspect of the Cougar do not cost mana).
  • It is a good item for champions with abilities that have an upkeep cost like Swain, Anivia, Singed, etc.
    • Note that  the Passive of Tear of the Goddess can now be charged with any ability at all following the change..
  • Fiddlesticks and Ryze are the only champions in the game who are unable to charge Tear of the Goddess without an enemy target (factoring only basic abilities).
• Tear of the Goddess combines excellently with champions relying on ability spam (e.g. Soraka's  Starcall or Karthus's  Lay Waste), ideally bringing a fully filled Tear of the Goddess at the 20 minute mark.
