Patch 14.19nerf

General

  • Total cost increased to 2300 gold from 2200 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 400 gold from 300 gold.
Patch 14.11change

This was a change we made in the mid patch for 14.10 but noting again for visibility. This is already live.

General

  • Sacrifice's damage redirect is now special-cased to no longer trigger Celestial Opposition Blessed.
Patch 14.10buff

Knight's Vow is receiving a small simplification that should be mathematically very close to the old version and makes it easier for everyone to understand. We're letting the Knight's armor and magic resist apply to the redirected damage because we think it's thematically appropriate. We're also re-adding the health regeneration just in case your Worthy ally can't hit for a while, so that tanks wielding the item can still recoup some health by themselves.

  • Unique Passive - Sacrifice: While your Worthy ally is tethered to you and you are above 30% of your maximum health, redirect 12% of the pre-mitigation physical and magic damage they take to you as the respective damage type.

Patch 14.1change

  • Health reduced to 300 from 350.

Patch 13.10nerf

We’re reducing the cost and changing the item recipe and stats to a more accessible build that integrates Lifewell Pendant. We’re also introducing a slight nerf to the passive redirection from post-mitigation (after resists are applied) to pre-mitigation (before resists). The end result is that Knight's Vow users will take a bit more true damage when redirecting damage for allies while still protecting them the same amount.

General

  • New Recipe: Lifewell Pendant + Crystalline Bracer + 350 gold = 2200 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Crystalline Bracer + Rejuvenation Bead + Kindlegem + 400 gold = 2300 gold.

  • Base health regeneration reduced to 125% from 200%.
  • Health reduced to 350 from 400.
  • Ability haste reduced to 15 from 20.
  • Heal increased to 10% of ally's damage dealt from 7%.
  • Damage redirection changed to pre-mitigation from post-mitigation.

  • Total cost unchanged.
  • Base health regeneration increased to 200% from 150%.
Patch 11.23change

Knight's Vow was unpopular despite being powerful all year. We've returned the ally heal so that Pledge feels more like a mutual partnership rather than a selfless sacrifice. We've also sharpened the damage reduction to work better against burst damage, and removed the movement speed boost.

General

  • Health regeneration reduced to 150% from 300%.
  • Unique Passive - Sacrifice:
  • New Effect: While your Worthy ally is nearby and you are above 30% of your maximum health, redirect 10% of the post-mitigation physical and magic damage they take to you as true damage and heal for 8% of the damage dealt by your Worthy ally to champions. If they are below 30% maximum health, the damage redirection is increased to 20%.
  • Old Effect: While your Worthy ally is nearby and you are above 30% of your maximum health, redirect 15% of the post-mitigation physical and magic damage they take to you as true damage. Additionally, if they are below 50% of their maximum health, gain 35% bonus movement speed while moving towards them.

General

  • Bug Fix: Sacrifice now properly redirects damage from allied Pledged champions to the user even when they're untargetable.
