Sunfire Aegis has been changed in 19 League of Legends patches. 8 buffs, 4 nerfs, 5 adjustments. Most recently adjusted in Patch 26.6.
Bami's Cinder
Chain Vest
Ruby CrystalSunfire Aegis has felt annoying to purchase but we don't think the item itself is underpowered, leading us to the smallest of buffs in this patch. Tanks typically can't earn as much gold as other classes of champions, so instead of leaving them empty handed we're smoothing out the build path!
General
- New Recipe: Bami's Cinder + Chain Vest + Ruby Crystal + 600 gold = 2700 gold.
- Old Recipe: Bami's Cinder + Chain Vest + 1000 gold = 2700 gold.
General
- Monster damage increased to 200% from 160%.
General

- Total cost unchanged.
- Health reduced to 350 from 500.
- Ability haste increased to 10 from 0.
Based on our reads back in Patch 14.1, Sunfire Aegis was over performing and required a tap down in power. However, now that the dust has settled, it's become apparent that these nerfs weren't necessary, so we're walking them back now.
General
- Health increased to 500 from 450.
- Immolate base damage increased to 15 from 12.
General
- Health reduced to 450 from 500.
- Immolate base damage reduced to 12 from 15.
With the recent downgrade to Sunfire Aegis we expected tanks to farm less effectively than they could with the Immolate passive. Unfortunately the changes landed a bit weak in 12.22 resulting in tanks opting to just not buy the item which, in turn, resulted in a loss of farm for top lane tanks (jungle tanks made out alright though thanks to the companions). We still want Sunfire to be a useful tool for tanks as a first or second item, but not mandatory. So this patch we’re addressing these issues by buffing the tanks whose ability to farm was impacted most and increasing the state efficiency of Sunfire so that it's a more reliable tank damage option.
General
- Total cost reduced to 2700 gold from 2800 gold.
- Combine cost reduced to 900 gold from 1000 gold.
- Health increased to 500 from 400.
While it's no longer a mythic item, Sunfire is still your go-to option for waveclear and sustained damage as a tank.

Sunfire Aegis has started to emerge as a powerful second item for DPS champions. While Fighters have dipped into other Tank items before, Sunfire offers the most stats and potent damage compared to other options. We're adjusting Sunfire so its damage output is more strongly tied to health stacking.
General
- Immolate base damage changed to 15 at all levels from 12 to 30 (based on level).
- Immolate health ratio increased to 1.75% bonus health from 1%.
General
- Combine cost increased to 800 gold from 700 gold.

- Health increased to 450 from 350.
- Forgefire Crest health increased to 600 from 500.
General
- Bonus Immolate damage per stack reduced to 10% from 12%.
Sunfire Aegis is the most expensive tank Mythic, yet its stats are a bit underwhelming. We're buffing up its durability to match its cost.
General
- Combine cost increased to 700 gold from 600 gold.
- Total cost unchanged.
- Armor increased to 35 from 30.
- Magic resistance increased to 35 from 30.
- New Effect: Mythic passive now also grants 50 bonus health.
- New Effect: Immolate now executes minions that would be killed by one more tick of damage.
- Forgefire Crest armor increased to 50 from 45.
- Forgefire Crest magic resistance increased to 50 from 45.
In the olden times, there was a sunnier era, or dare we say, a Sunfirey era. That was until the Chemtanks crushed all who would dare oppose them. We’re bringing back the fire by helping Aegis melt down its enemies once more.
General
- Bonus monster damage increased to 150% from 100%.
Now that players are starting to realize other tank Mythics are reasonable options, we feel comfortable giving back some of Sunfire’s oomph, considering it has been the worst performing item among its peers for a while.
