Essence Reaver Buffs, Nerfs & Changes

Patch 7.3

We've streamlined Essence Reaver's effects, making it slightly weaker on its best users, such as Viego and Lucian, while allowing it to better serve a wider range of champions who want Critical Strike Chance, Attack Damage, and Ability Haste.

  • Attack Damage: 35 → 50

Spellblade

  • After casting an ability, your next basic attack within 10 seconds deals bonus physical damage equal to 135% × base Attack Damage + 0 - 80 (Based on Critical Rate) and restores Mana equal to 50% of the damage dealt. (1.5 second cooldown)

Patch 4.2a

Buff

Our adjustments to Essence Reaver last patch did not meet our goals, so we’re adjusting its value some more. We hope these changes make it a more desirable pick up in the earlier stages of the game.

Unique passive - Essence Flare

  • Cooldown reduced from 6 seconds to 4.
  • Bonus physical damage increased from 0 to 30% (based on critical strike chance) to 20 to 30% (based on critical strike chance).

Patch 4.2

Buff

Essence Reaver sat in an odd spot for a while and was only a good pick up for a select few. So, we’re adjusting it so it can be an amplifier for anyone who builds crit.

General

  • Total cost reduced from 3250 gold to 3050 gold.
  • Combine cost reduced from 1050 gold to 850 gold.
  • Attack damage reduced from 45 to 40.

Unique passive - Essence Flare

  • New passive: Your next damaging ability or empowered attack deals up to 0 to 30% (based on critical rate) bonus physical damage (6 second cooldown). Basic attacks against champions reduce the cooldown by 1 second.
  • Old passive: Damaging active abilities and empowered attacks deal 10 (+ 70% critical strike chance) bonus physical damage. The same ability can only trigger this effect once per unique target per cast.

Patch 3.0

Buff

Lately, Essence Reaver has been falling a bit flat. Most of the time it is only slightly better than other options, even for the champions that should be highly invested in the stats and unique effects that it grants them. We are going to give it some extra power to make it a more compelling option in a wider variety of scenarios.

General

  • Attack damage increased from 40 to 45.

Unique passive - Mana Siphon

  • Mana restoration increased from 2% missing mana to 3%.

Patch 2.4a

Nerf

Essence Reaver is offering too much for too cheap of a price, so we are carving it down to keep it in line.

General

  • Total cost increased from 3100 gold to 3250 gold.
  • Combine cost increased from 900 gold to 1050 gold.
  • Ability haste reduced from 25 to 20.
