Voltaic Cyclosword Changes

Patch 26.10

nerf

Following its adjustments and the removal of Opportunity, we expected Voltaic Cyclosword to see more play. We’re happy to see it making an impact on the meta, but are lowering its power slightly by increasing its price tag.

General

  • Total cost increased to 3000 gold from 2900 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 963 gold from 863 gold.

Patch 26.9

buff

Voltaic Cyclosword brings some cool Energized options to AD casters, but we think we can make it even broader by allowing it to open up the strict auto-attack gate that stops many melees from being good with it. We also don't love the slow effect, as it tended to trivialize a lot of the combat once players did manage to get into melee. With Opportunity removed, Voltaic should also be able to stand as the premier "upfront burst" item for AD casters.

General

  • Total cost reduced to 2900 gold from 3000 gold.
  • Combine cost reduced to 863 gold from 963 gold.
  • Lethality reduced to 10 from 18.

Unique Passive - Galvanize

  • New Effect: Damaging enemy champions with abilities can trigger Energized effects.
  • Old Effect: Energized stack generation is increased by 75% for distance travelled from dash, lunge and blink, as well as while moving in stealth.

Unique Passive - Firmament

  • New Effect: When fully Energized, your next basic attack grants you 15 lethality for 4 seconds and deals bonus physical damage equal to 9% of the target's current health, capped at 200 against non-champions.
  • Old Effect: When fully Energized, your next basic attack deals 100 bonus physical damage on-hit and slow the target by 99% for 0.75 seconds.

Patch 14.19

nerf

General

  • Total cost increased to 3000 gold from 2900 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 963 gold from 863 gold.
  • Ability haste reduced to 10 from 15.

Patch 14.12

change

General

  • Bug Fix: Galvanize now triggers from movement during stealth.

Patch 14.10

change

We're giving Voltaic Cyclosword a new recipe now that Kircheis Shard no longer exists, but should still be a very easy path to be built into early on.

General

  • New Recipe: The Brutalizer + Long Sword + Long Sword + 863 gold = 2900 gold.
  • Old Recipe: The Brutalizer + Kircheis Shard + 863 gold = 2900 gold.

Patch 14.9

change

General

  • Bug Fix: Item grants innate lethality once again.

Patch 14.2

change

General

  • Bug Fix: Now uses the correct buff type for the slow in order for it to be properly resisted by crowd control immunity and slow immunity.
