Dawncore Buffs & Changes

Patch 26.21

buff Current Patch

Dawncore is the enchanter capstone that isn’t, and currently only Soraka picks it up. Even when other supports get to full build, they often prefer other purchases. We’re buffing its AP value to make it less purely bound to Healing and Shielding.

General

  • First Light ability power per 100% base mana regeneration increased to 15 from 10.

Patch 14.19

change

When we remade Dawncore as an enchanter capstone, it took some time to catch on. It's not surprising to see an enchanter capstone be rare since it's hard to get that much gold, but we'd like to place it within reach in more games. Though this is an overall nerf, it should be easier to convince yourself to grab it as your second or third Legendary.

General

  • Total cost reduced to 2500 gold from 2700 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 450 gold from 250 gold.
  • Ability power reduced to 45 from 60.

Patch 14.10

buff

Dawncore was initially conceived as an enchanter capstone that could finish their builds. Of course, that's really lofty for a class that doesn't earn a lot of gold. We still want Dawncore to be a big-ticket item but are reshaping it a little bit, giving it much more up-front power while still having a bit of scaling that asks you to at least not buy it first. So we're massively juicing up the AP and Heal/Shield Power in order to make it the best item for “I want really, really strong enchanter spells.” It's still more expensive than other options and is a greedier buy but is focused on making your kit as strong per-cast as possible. The math works out to an extra 32.5 Ability Power and 11.5% Heal/Shield Power if you buy it after something like Imperial Mandate or Shurelya's, which should more than compensate for the dropped haste.
