Terminus Changes

Patch 26.15

change

Terminus is meant to be one of the premium capstone items for scaling On-Hit builds, but has been more of a mid game spike item than a true late game scaling option, leaving the on-hit space a bit sparse for options later on.

General

  • Unique - Shadow: 30 Magic Damage On-Hit → 30 (+10% bonus Attack Damage) (+10% Ability Power)

Patch 14.19

nerf

General

  • Combine cost increased to 1100 gold from 1000 gold.
  • Total cost unchanged.
  • Attack damage reduced to 30 from 35.

Patch 14.10

change

Terminus is getting a new recipe this time around as well as some small alterations in stats.

General

  • New Recipe: Hearthbound Axe + Recurve Bow + 1000 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Recurve Bow + B. F. Sword + Recurve Bow + 300 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Attack damage reduced to 35 from 40.
  • Attack speed increased to 35% from 30%.

Patch 14.4

change

Terminus has cultivated a group of core users by being a source of percent penetration and durability for on-hit champions. While that's great, it's been pretty unsatisfying, and in some cases unapproachable, due to how long the item takes to stack up. In this patch, we're quickening its stack rate so that champions can use it at full power for more time in fights.

General

  • New Recipe: Recurve Bow + B. F. Sword + Recurve Bow + 300 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Recurve Bow + B. F. Sword + Dagger + 700 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Now has the search keywords "bow" and "sentinel".
  • Maximum Light and Dark stacks reduced to 3 each from 5.
  • Bonus resistance per Light stack increased to 6/7/8 (at level 1/11/14) from 3/4/5 (at level 1/11/14).
  • Resistance penetration per Dark stack increased to 10% from 6%.
