Strategy Edit

• Will of the Ancients is very useful with ability power-based champions that have health costs on their spells (e.g. Mordekaiser), practically resulting in a negation of ability costs.
• Cooldown or Energy-based champions such as Kennen and Rumble can also make use of Will of the Ancients for the sustain boost.
• The spell vamp aura is also a major boost to any allied attack damage-based casters and assassins who deal their damage primarily through their spells, but cannot efficiently gear for spell vamp themselves.
• The aura is very useful for champion with ability power ratios , but who can't really build into them , like Tryndamere or  Gangplank.
• Note that Will's prerequisite item, Hextech Revolver, will already provide the holder with a reasonable amount of spell vamp. The upgrade into a Will does not increase the sustain effect very much, and thus should not be a priority until your team will greatly benefit from the aura.

Notes Edit

• The owner of the item will receive both the 50 ability power and the 30 ability power from the aura for a total of 80 ability power overall.
• If you and a teammate both own Will of the Ancients, your aura will stack with your ally's aura, adding up for a total of 110 ability power and 40% spell vamp for each champion possessing Will of the Ancients as well as being within another Will of the Ancients aura.
